🦉 Wisekins — Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 17, 2026
Wisekins is a language-learning app for children. We built it to be safe and private by
design. This policy explains what information the app does and does not handle.
Information we collect
We do not collect personal information. Wisekins has no accounts, no login,
and no sign-up.
- A child's profile name, chosen languages, learning progress, streaks and daily goals are
stored only on your device. This information never leaves the device and is
never sent to us.
- We do not ask for names, email addresses, phone numbers, location, contacts, photos, or any
other personal data.
The one thing we do send to our servers is anonymous, aggregate usage — for
example, which in-app game was opened. Each event includes only a random identifier generated on
the device (never linked to a name, profile, account, or device identifier), the app version and
the platform. We use it solely to learn which activities children enjoy so we can improve the
app. It contains no personal information and cannot be traced back to your child.
Our servers
The app downloads its lesson content (words, categories and images) from our servers. These are
ordinary download requests. Like any web server, our servers may record standard technical log
entries such as the request time and the device's IP address, used solely to operate and secure
the service. The app also sends the anonymous usage events described above to our servers. We do
not use any of this information to identify you or your child, and we do not build profiles from
it.
Microphone and the speaking game
Wisekins includes a speaking game where a child says a word out loud and the app checks the
pronunciation. This is the only part of the app that uses the microphone.
- The microphone is used only while the speaking game is open, and only after
the child taps the microphone button. The app never listens in the background.
- Your device asks for microphone permission the first time it is needed. If you decline, the
rest of the app continues to work normally.
- We never receive your child's voice. Audio is not recorded to a file, is not
stored, and is never sent to Wisekins servers.
- Speech is turned into text by your device's own speech recognition — the same system used for
dictation on the keyboard. This happens on the device whenever the device
supports it.
- If on-device recognition is unavailable for the chosen language, your device may send the
audio to Apple's speech recognition service on iOS, or Google's on Android, to
convert it to text. This is handled by the operating system under Apple's and Google's own
privacy policies. You can avoid this entirely by not using the speaking game.
- The app only receives the recognized text, compares it to the expected word
on the device, and discards it. The comparison result is not stored beyond your child's normal
progress (for example, that a word was answered correctly).
Subscriptions and purchases
Wisekins offers optional subscriptions (Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly) that unlock Games,
Avatars, and Daily Adventure after a free trial. Learning stays free forever,
with or without a subscription.
- All payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Wisekins never
sees, receives, or stores your payment card details.
- We use RevenueCat, a subscription management service, to check and keep
track of subscription status across your devices. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated
anonymous app user identifier together with your purchase and subscription status from the
App Store or Play Store. It does not receive your name, email address, or payment details.
- Because Wisekins is built for children, every purchase screen is protected by a
parental gate — a simple typed math question shown before any subscription
screen, so a child cannot start a purchase without an adult.
Children's privacy
Wisekins is designed for children and is compliant with children's privacy laws including
COPPA and GDPR-K. We collect no personal information about your child. There is
no behavioral advertising, no third-party ad or analytics SDKs, and no cross-app
tracking anywhere in the app. The only data that reaches us is the anonymous usage
described above, which cannot identify your child. Your child's voice is never sent to us, and
the microphone is used only in the speaking game as described above.
Third parties
We do not use third-party advertising networks, third-party analytics providers, or tracking
SDKs. The anonymous usage analytics described above are handled entirely by our own servers. We
do not share, rent, or sell any information to anyone.
Wisekins uses two third-party services, neither of which is used for advertising or tracking:
- RevenueCat, to manage subscription purchases — see "Subscriptions and
purchases" above for exactly what it receives.
- Your device's built-in speech recognition, used only in the speaking game as described
above. When your device cannot recognize speech locally, it may send that audio to Apple or
Google to convert it to text. We do not choose, control, or receive that audio — it is your
device's own dictation system, governed by Apple's and Google's privacy policies.
No other third party receives anything through the app.
Data retention and deletion
Because all of your child's data stays on the device, uninstalling the app permanently
removes it. You can also remove an individual child profile from within the app's
settings at any time.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
