Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Taplings collects no data. None. Zero. That's the whole policy.

Developer information

Taplings is developed and published by Aarambam, LLC. For privacy-related inquiries, contact: aarambamllc@gmail.com

Data collection

Taplings does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal or sensitive user data. In Google Play's terms, the app "collects" no data, because nothing is ever transmitted off the device. Any on-device storage described below never leaves the device. Specifically, the app does not collect:

Location data — no approximate or precise location
Personal information — no name, email, user ID, address, phone number, date of birth, or demographic information
Financial information — no payment info, purchase history, or credit data
Health and fitness data — none
Messages — none
Photos, videos, or audio files — none
Files and documents — none
Device or other identifiers — no Android Advertising ID (AAID), device serial numbers, SIM serial, or any other device identifiers
App activity — no usage analytics, interaction logs, or behavioral data is transmitted off the device (a rolling on-device usage log exists for the "minutes today" reminder only — see "On-device storage" below)
App performance data — no crash reports, diagnostics, or performance metrics are transmitted

There are no accounts, no logins, no tracking pixels, and no network requests.

On-device storage

The app stores your preferences (volume, theme, session duration, consent state, onboarding flags) locally on your device using standard browser storage (localStorage) and, on native builds, Capacitor Preferences. It also keeps a rolling on-device usage log (session durations over the past 24 hours, used only to show a gentle "minutes today" reminder). This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to anyone other than the device user.

Error logs are stored locally on the device (capped at 5 entries) for troubleshooting purposes. These logs are never transmitted and can only be viewed by the caregiver through the in-app settings menu.

Data sharing

Taplings does not share any data with any third parties. There are no third-party SDKs, analytics services, advertising networks, or data brokers integrated into the app.

Data retention and deletion

Because no user data is collected or transmitted, there is no server-side data to retain or delete. On-device preferences can be cleared at any time through your device's app storage settings, or by uninstalling the app.

Data security

All data remains on your device. The app makes zero external network requests, so there is no data in transit to secure. On-device storage uses the platform's standard storage mechanisms, protected by the device's own security (screen lock, encryption).

Network access

The Android version declares the INTERNET permission. This is required by the Capacitor framework's internal WebView bridge and is not used for any external network communication. The app makes zero external network requests. All assets (fonts, code, images) are bundled in the app.

Third-party code

The app uses the Capacitor framework to wrap the web application for iOS and Android. Capacitor's native bridge requires the INTERNET permission on Android but does not make any external network requests in this app. No other third-party SDKs, libraries, or services are included. There are no advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or crash reporting SDKs.

Children's privacy

Taplings is designed for use by caregivers with babies and toddlers (primary age group: 6 months to 3 years). Because the app collects no data whatsoever:

It is designed to comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
It is designed to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
It does not transmit the Android Advertising ID (AAID) from children or users of unknown age
It does not transmit device identifiers of any kind
It does not access location data
It does not contain personalized advertising, interest-based advertising, or remarketing

Advertising and analytics

There are no ads, no analytics, no A/B testing, no crash reporting services, and no third-party tracking of any kind.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Given the app's architecture, meaningful changes are unlikely — there is nothing to collect.
