Privacy Policy — Kosmo World

Last updated: May 15, 2026

1. Who we are

Kosmo World is a read-aloud bedtime stories app for children, developed and operated by KosmoGames Studios ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how the Kosmo World mobile application (the "App") handles information.

If you have any questions, you can reach us at support@kosmogames.com.

2. Information the App processes

2.1 Information stored only on your device

The App stores the following information locally on your device, using your device's standard local storage. KosmoGames Studios does not receive, store, or have access to this information. With your permission, your device's operating system (iOS or Android) may include this data in its standard backup to your personal iCloud or Google Drive account, where only you can access it; KosmoGames Studios is not a party to those backups.

• Which stories your child has started, completed, or revisited
• Reading progress and the current page of an in-progress story
• Audio playback position
• App preferences such as selected language
• Records of in-app purchases you have made (so the App knows which story packs you own)

This information is removed if you uninstall the App or clear the App's data through your device's settings.

2.2 Information we do not collect

The App does not collect, request, or transmit any of the following:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact information
• User accounts, logins, or passwords (the App has no account system)
• Photos, contacts, calendar entries, or files from your device
• Location data of any kind (precise or approximate)
• Microphone audio or camera images
• Device identifiers used for advertising (no IDFA, no Advertising ID)
• Behavioral profiling of individual users, cross-app tracking, or session recordings
• Voice recordings, voice prints, or transcriptions of your child speaking

2.3 Information processed when you make a purchase

When you make an in-app purchase, the transaction is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) according to their respective billing systems. We never see your payment details.

To verify that purchases were completed successfully and to restore them on your devices, the App uses RevenueCat as a purchase-receipt validation service. When you make a purchase, RevenueCat receives an anonymous user identifier generated on your device along with the transaction receipt provided by Apple or Google. This information is used solely to deliver your purchase. RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or payment details from the App.

2.4 Network usage

The App may connect to the internet to download story content packs you have access to and to verify in-app purchases. These requests do not include personal information.

2.5 Anonymous usage statistics

To help us improve story quality and decide which characters and themes to invest in, the App sends a small set of anonymous product events to a server operated by KosmoGames Studios. This data is not shared with any third party and is used only for our own internal product decisions.

What we record:

• When a story is opened, completed, or when a new ending is discovered
• The story ID, character pack ID, app language, and age group of the story (these are properties of the content, not of the child)
• When the in-app store is shown or dismissed
• The app version, the platform (iOS or Android), and a randomly-generated identifier that lives only on this app's storage on this device

What we never record in these events:

• Names, ages, voices, photos, or any other personal information about your child or you
• The device's advertising identifier (IDFA / Advertising ID)
• Location of any kind
• Free-text input from your child
• Precise timestamps that could be used to reconstruct an individual reading session

The random identifier is generated by the App and is not linked to your Apple ID, Google account, email, phone number, or any other identifier that could identify you outside the App. It is reset if you uninstall the App or clear its storage.

How to turn this off: open Settings → Data & Privacy in the App and switch off "Help improve Kosmo World." When this is off, no usage events leave the device. You can change this at any time, and your choice is stored locally on your device.

This processing falls within the "support for internal operations" exception of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and is used solely to maintain and improve the App. It is not used for advertising, profiling, audience segmentation, or any other purpose.

3. Children's privacy

Kosmo World is designed for children. Because of this, we hold ourselves to stricter standards than the law requires. We have intentionally built the App so that it does not collect personal information from children, and so that no third party receives behavioral data about your child from the App.

We comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions concerning children, Google Play's Designed for Families program requirements, and Apple's Kids Category requirements. Specifically:

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
• We do not show advertising of any kind to children.
• We do not engage in behavioral profiling of children.
• We do not share any data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
• The App contains no third-party social network features, no in-app messaging with strangers, and no user-generated content shared between users.
• The only links to outside the App are to (a) this Privacy Policy, (b) the parent-controlled in-app purchase flow operated by Apple or Google, and (c) at the parent's deliberate action, the App Store or Play Store listing.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with information contrary to this Policy, please contact us at support@kosmogames.com and we will promptly delete any such information from our systems.

4. How we use information

The very small amount of information processed by the App is used only to:

• Save your child's reading progress between sessions
• Resume audio playback where you left off
• Remember which story packs you have purchased so you do not have to pay again
• Show the App in the language you have chosen
• Understand, in aggregate and anonymously, which stories and characters are most read, so we can prioritise new content and fix problems (see section 2.5; you can turn this off in Settings)

We do not use any information for advertising, profiling, scoring, or training machine learning models.

5. Third-party services

The App relies on the following third parties for the limited purposes described above. Each operates under its own privacy policy.

• Apple App Store / Google Play Store — for in-app purchase processing. See Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat — for verifying and restoring in-app purchases. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

The App does not include third-party advertising networks, third-party analytics or audience-measurement SDKs, crash reporting services that send personal information, social network SDKs, or any other third-party trackers. The anonymous usage statistics described in section 2.5 are sent to KosmoGames Studios' own server and are not shared with any third party.

6. Data retention

Information stored on your device by the App remains there until you uninstall the App or clear its data. If you have enabled iCloud Backup or Google Auto-Backup on your device, your operating system may keep a copy of this data in your own cloud account; you can manage or delete that backup directly through your device or account settings. Purchase receipts processed by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat are retained by those providers according to their own retention policies.

The anonymous usage events described in section 2.5 are stored by KosmoGames Studios for up to 24 months and then deleted or further aggregated. Because these events contain no personal information and no identifier we can link back to you, we cannot retrieve, export, or selectively delete events tied to a particular person on request — but you can stop any further events from being sent at any time by turning off "Help improve Kosmo World" in Settings, or by uninstalling the App.

7. Data security

Because the App does not transmit personal data to our servers, the primary protections for your child's data are the security features of your own device (passcode, encrypted device storage, app sandboxing). Communication with Apple, Google, and RevenueCat for purchase verification is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under privacy laws such as the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Quebec Law 25, the Brazilian LGPD, or other regional regimes. These typically include the right to:

• Know what information is being processed about you
• Request a copy of that information
• Request correction or deletion of that information
• Withdraw consent where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Because Kosmo World does not collect or store personal information on our servers, in most cases there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct, or delete on your behalf. To exercise your rights with respect to information stored on your device, simply uninstall the App or clear its storage in your device settings. For any other request, email us at support@kosmogames.com and we will respond within 30 days.

9. International users

Kosmo World is available in multiple regions. The App is designed to function the same way everywhere — without collecting personal information — so the privacy practices described here apply regardless of where you and your child use the App.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to describe new features or reflect legal changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes took effect. If we make material changes, we will revise the App listing and provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
