Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
The app does not send the child’s name or recordings to the publisher. Stories are stored locally.
1. About this policy
This Privacy Policy covers the FluenTales Android app, fluentales.app and email support. It applies to the initial free release without accounts, ads, purchases, personal photos or cloud features. The publisher and operator is TechMolvia s. r. o., Company ID 57 077 789, Lúčna 1739/26B, 900 41 Rovinka, Slovakia. Privacy contact: support@fluentales.app; company contact: info@techmolvia.sk.
2. Data processed only on your device
The app stores locally the child’s name entered in settings, card count (4, 6 or 9), onboarding state, flags for tips already seen, and a list of saved stories with metadata and voice recordings. This supports personalisation, remembering settings, and saving and playing stories. The app does not send these data to the publisher or third parties. We have no remote access to them. For Google Play Data safety, data processed exclusively on a device without transmission off that device are not declared as collected. This does not mean that the app processes no local data.
3. Microphone and voice recordings
The microphone is used to record narration when the user starts that feature. RECORD_AUDIO permission is requested when recording. You can deny or revoke permission in system settings; recording will then be unavailable. An in-progress recording is saved permanently only after tapping “Home”. Saved recordings and metadata are stored in the app’s private directory. We do not upload recordings, transcribe them, assess them using AI or use them to identify people. Microphone permission is an operating system permission, not in itself consent to any further processing.
4. Photos, accounts and external services
The initial release does not support personal photos or custom picture stories and does not request camera or shared storage access for that purpose. Images are bundled with the app. There is no sign-up, login, publisher-operated server, advertising, payments, analytics SDK or SDK that sends crash reports. Android and Google Play may independently process operational or diagnostic data according to device settings and their own policies. These system services are not analytics operated by FluenTales.
5. Children and parental controls
FluenTales is designed for children’s picture storytelling, with help from a parent or guardian as needed. We do not ask children to provide contact details, register or upload recordings. In-app links to support, legal pages and Google Play ratings are behind a parental gate with a maths question. This gate does not replace system permissions or consent where required by law. Parents should assess suitability and manage data stored on the device.
6. Retention, deletion and backups
A saved story remains until the user deletes it or removes the app’s local data. Confirming story deletion removes the recording, metadata and list entry. Other settings remain until changed or app data are removed. Uninstalling removes the app’s local data. Clearing app storage in Android settings also removes those local data. The app has no publisher-operated sync, export or sharing feature. Android cloud backup for the app is disabled. System migration between devices may vary by Android version and device manufacturer. We do not keep our own backups of recordings and cannot restore them after loss or deletion. There are no user accounts, so no account deletion request is needed.
7. Security
Local files are stored in the app’s private storage protected by Android mechanisms. Security also depends on device protection, system updates and access to an unlocked device. We do not promise additional standalone encryption of recordings within the app. The publisher cannot remotely view, delete or restore them.
8. Website and email support
Visiting the website is separate from using the app locally. The hosting provider may process your IP address, request time, page address, browser information and technical logs needed to deliver pages and maintain security. The public website has no advertising or analytics scripts, forms, external fonts or tracking cookies. If you send an email, we process the sender address, message and any attachments to handle the request. Please do not send children’s recordings or other information unnecessary to resolve the issue. Support data are used only for communication, resolving issues and protecting legal rights. The legal basis for ordinary support and website operations is legitimate interests under GDPR Article 6(1)(f); for legal obligations it is Article 6(1)(c). Our legitimate interests are providing help, operating a secure website and addressing disputes. Messages are kept as long as needed to resolve the request and reasonable follow-up, and longer only for a specific legal obligation or protection of legal rights. Technical logs are retained according to hosting security and operational needs. Recipient categories are hosting and email providers, people authorised to handle requests and, where legally required, competent authorities. We do not sell these data or use them for advertising. You can request details about providers and website or support processing by email. Providing information by email is not a statutory requirement; without contact details we may be unable to respond.
9. External links
Links may open the system browser, email app or Google Play. Those services may process data under their own policies. The app does not attach the child’s name or recordings to those links. When sending email, you send the content you choose to include.
10. Your rights
For personal data processed by the operator, you may, where applicable, request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability and object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions. Contact support@fluentales.app. If processing ever relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. You may complain to a supervisory authority, particularly the Slovak Office for Personal Data Protection (dataprotection.gov.sk), or the relevant authority where you live. We cannot access local app data; you manage and delete them on the device. Website and support processing do not involve automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
11. Changes and contact
If functionality or data processing changes, we will update this policy and, where needed, the app and Google Play information. Accounts, analytics, cloud features, sharing, purchases or personal photos require a new assessment before release. Send privacy questions to support@fluentales.app.
