The short version
- The child-facing app does not require an account and is designed not to collect personal information from children.
- We do not serve third-party ads, sell personal information, or use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- App preferences are kept on the device. Apple or Google independently processes downloads and purchases made through its store.
- If a parent or guardian emails us, we use the message only to respond, operate support, protect the app, and meet legal obligations.
1. Who we are
Baby Phone: Animal Sounds (the “App”) is published under the Mini Dodo Apps name and operated by Danijela Devedlaka (“Mini Dodo Apps,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). For data-protection purposes, Danijela Devedlaka is the controller of personal data that we directly receive through support communications and this website.
Privacy questions and requests may be sent to minidodoapps@gmail.com. When a request concerns a child, it should be submitted by the child’s parent or legal guardian.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to the App, this informational website, and direct support communications with Mini Dodo Apps. It does not govern the Apple App Store, Google Play, a device operating system, or another service that operates under its own privacy notice.
3. Information handled by the App
3.1 No child account or profile
The App does not require registration, a username, a social profile, or a child’s name, email address, phone number, postal address, photograph, voice recording, contacts, or precise location. Its pretend-call feature does not place real telephone calls and does not connect a child with another person.
3.2 On-device information
Preferences necessary to provide the experience—such as chosen language, sound settings, and locally recognized purchase entitlements—may be stored on the device. Mini Dodo Apps does not receive this on-device information unless it is included voluntarily in a support request.
3.3 Purchases through Apple or Google
Apple processes Apple App Store downloads and StoreKit transactions, while Google processes Google Play downloads and Play Billing transactions. The selected platform may handle payment details, purchase authorization, receipts, refunds, and transaction records under its own terms and privacy notice. Mini Dodo Apps does not receive a full payment-card number. The platform may provide transaction status, sales information, and aggregated or privacy-protected reports needed to deliver purchased content and manage the App. Learn more in Apple’s App Store privacy information and the Google Privacy Policy.
3.4 Advertising and tracking
The App does not display third-party advertising. Mini Dodo Apps does not sell personal information, share it with data brokers, or use it for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. The App is not designed to track a child across apps, services, or websites owned by other companies.
4. Website and support information
4.1 Support email
If a parent, guardian, or other adult contacts us, we receive the sender’s email address, message, and any information voluntarily included. We use it to respond, troubleshoot, protect our rights and users, and keep appropriate business records. Please do not send unnecessary information about a child. We will not use support contact details to market to a child.
4.2 Static website hosting
This website is a static site and does not use an account system, contact form, advertising pixels, or developer-controlled analytics cookies. When the site is hosted on GitHub Pages, GitHub may process standard technical request data—such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, and timestamps—to deliver, secure, and maintain its service. GitHub’s handling is described in the GitHub General Privacy Statement.
5. Purposes and legal bases in the EEA and United Kingdom
Where the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract or steps at your request: to answer a support request and provide functionality a purchaser asks us to provide.
- Legitimate interests: to secure, troubleshoot, and improve the App; prevent misuse; keep limited business records; and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, balanced against the rights of users and children.
- Legal obligation: to comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, safety, and lawful authority requirements.
- Consent: only when a law requires it. Consent may be withdrawn for future processing at any time.
We do not rely on a child’s consent to build advertising profiles or to collect unnecessary personal data. EU rules give children additional protection, and information addressed to children must be clear and age-appropriate. The European Commission explains GDPR rights and protections for children.
6. Children’s privacy
The App is intended to be suitable for use by young children with involvement from a parent or guardian. We apply data minimization and child-friendly defaults: the core experience does not require a child to provide personal information, and adult-facing controls are separated by a parental gate.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from a child under 13 in a way that requires verifiable parental consent under the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We also aim to respect applicable age-of-consent and child-design rules in the EEA, United Kingdom, and other markets where the App is offered. If you believe a child sent personal information to us, contact us. We will investigate and delete it where required.
7. When information may be disclosed
We disclose personal data only as reasonably necessary:
- to service providers that help deliver email, website hosting, technical support, security, or professional advice, under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations;
- to Apple or Google for store, billing, purchase-restoration, and transaction functions initiated through the selected platform;
- to authorities or other parties when required by applicable law or valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, users, and the public; or
- in connection with a legitimate reorganization, sale, or transfer of the App, subject to applicable notice and child-privacy protections.
We do not permit service providers to use support data for their own advertising to children.
8. International transfers
Email and hosting providers may process information in countries outside the country where it originated. Where required, transfers are protected through an adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism. You may contact us for more information about safeguards relevant to your request.
9. Retention
On-device preferences remain until the user changes them, removes the App, or resets the device, subject to device and app-store services. We ordinarily retain support correspondence for no longer than 24 months after the matter is resolved, unless a shorter period is appropriate or a longer period is required for security, legal claims, accounting, or law. We delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the limited information we handle. No electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised. Please avoid sending sensitive or unnecessary information by email.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to be informed; access, correct, or delete personal data; restrict or object to processing; receive portable data; withdraw consent; and complain to a data-protection authority. You may also have rights to appeal a refusal. We do not discriminate against anyone for making a privacy request.
California residents may request information about, correction of, or deletion of covered personal information where applicable. Mini Dodo Apps does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are used by California law. Because we hold very little direct data, we may have no data to return beyond correspondence you sent us.
To exercise a right, email minidodoapps@gmail.com with “Privacy request” in the subject. We may need proportionate information to verify the requester’s identity and authority, particularly for a request made on behalf of a child. EEA or UK users may complain to the supervisory authority where they live or work. Serbian users may contact the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. We will post the updated version here and revise the date above. If a change materially affects how we handle children’s personal information, we will provide additional notice or seek verified parental consent when required before applying the change.
