1. 📋 Overview
English for Kids is an educational application designed to help children learn English vocabulary through fun, interactive content including images, audio, and videos. The app covers various categories such as animals and fruits, with support for multiple languages.
This privacy policy explains how we handle information in our app and what third-party services are used.
2. 🔒 Information We Collect
The short answer: We don't collect any personal information.
Our app is designed to work completely independently and does not:
- ❌ Collect names, email addresses, or any personal identifiable information
- ❌ Require user accounts or registrations
- ❌ Track user behavior or learning progress
- ❌ Access contacts, location, camera, or microphone
- ❌ Store any data on our servers about users
The app downloads educational content (images, audio, and videos) from our secure cloud storage (AWS S3) but does not transmit any information back about who is using the app.
3. 📱 Third-Party Services
While we don't collect data ourselves, our app uses the following third-party services:
Google AdMob (Advertising)
We display advertisements through Google AdMob to support the free availability of this app. AdMob may automatically collect certain information, including:
- Device Advertising ID: A unique identifier for advertising purposes
- IP Address: Your device's internet address
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version
- App Usage Data: Information about how ads are viewed
AdMob complies with COPPA: For users under 13, ads are restricted to child-directed content only. Non-personalized ads are shown to children.

We use AWS S3 to securely host educational content (images, audio files, and videos). When the app loads content:
- Content is delivered over secure HTTPS connections
