TAP Library App Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n

Our Digital Phonics Book app for Adults and Teens Collects No Personal Information<\/h3>\n

The app does not collect any personal information. A third party service is used to collect\u00a0anonymized<\/em> information (analytics) about use of the app to\u00a0help us improve the apps.\u00a0 For example, we are interested in whether users are finding and using the support materials provided, how long sessions with the app tend to be and which settings are being adjusted.\u00a0 For a given user, we know on which type<\/em> of device they are using the apps and in which country<\/em> they are located but nothing more specific than that.<\/p>\n

COPPA Compliant…Just In Case<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s quite possible that preteens (children under 13) will read the TAP Library stories, although they are not part of the target user group. For this reason, we are keeping the app COPPA compliant (no detailed location data, for example\u00a0cf. the U.S. “Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act” FAQ<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We are using the Corona game engine to build these apps.\u00a0 This game engine collects minimal data when the app starts up to determine if the user is a “daily active user” of the app. This information is completely anonymized.<\/p>\n

External Links to This Website and the App Store<\/h3>\n

TAP Library app does not require an Internet connection to work, however the app contains links to the series website FocusOnTAP.com<\/a> on the credits\/information page. Tapping this link will suspend the app and open a browser to that page.<\/p>\n

No Third-party Advertising<\/h3>\n

You will find no third-party advertising in the TAP Library App.<\/p>\n
