Privacy Policy

Ocean School · Effective date: October 16, 2026

Ocean School is an educational game for children aged 3 to 5, developed by Tolga Samahor. Children's privacy matters, so the app is built to collect no personal data at all.

In short

• No personal data is collected, stored on a server, or shared.
• No ads, no analytics and no tracking.
• No accounts, sign-ups or logins.
• No access to the camera, location, contacts or photos. The microphone is used only if a parent turns on the speaking game, and speech never leaves the device.
• The game doesn't use the internet. Only purchases and restores go through the App Store or Google Play.

What stays on your device

To work properly, the game keeps a few things only on your device: the stars and levels earned; the language, learning language, sound and music settings; and whether the full version is unlocked. This information is never sent to us or anyone else. It may be included in your device backups (such as iCloud), and it's deleted when you delete the app. You can also reset progress in Settings.

Microphone and speech recognition

In the optional “Say It!” game, children say the name of a picture in the language they are learning. The microphone is used only if a parent turns on “Play by speaking” in the parent-gated Settings, and only while the game is listening. Speech is recognized entirely on the device (on-device speech recognition by Apple or Google built into the system); the audio is never recorded, stored or sent to us, to Apple, to Google or to anyone else. If a device can't recognize a language on the device itself, the speaking game stays off. You can turn the microphone off at any time in Settings or in the device's privacy settings.

Purchases

The full version is bought through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The store handles your payment information, which never reaches us. The purchase screen is behind a parental gate.

Children

We don't knowingly collect any personal information from children. Settings and purchases are protected by a parent question that requires reading. The app has no external links, social media features or chat.

Third parties

The app contains no third-party advertising, analytics or tracking tools, and no data is shared with third parties.
