Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 17, 2024
🎯 Privacy Summary
Spacepedia does not collect, store, or share any personal information from you or your child. I believe children's privacy is paramount. The app works entirely offline after an initial audio download and requires no account, no login, and minimal internet access.
1. Introduction
Spacepedia ("I", "my", or "me") is an educational mobile application designed for children, developed by Štěpán Šanda as an independent developer. This Privacy Policy explains how I handle information when you or your child uses my app. I am committed to protecting children's privacy and complying with all applicable laws, including:
- Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) - United States
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - European Union
- Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC) - United Kingdom
- Apple App Store Guidelines for Kids Category
- Google Play Families Policy
2. Information I Collect

- Does NOT collect photos, contacts, or any device data
- Does NOT require user accounts or registration
- Does NOT use cookies or similar tracking technologies
3. Third-Party Services
I do not use any third-party services that collect data. Specifically:

4. Advertising
Spacepedia contains no advertising. I do not display any form of advertisements, including:

5. In-App Purchases
Spacepedia contains no in-app purchases. There are no virtual currencies, premium features, subscriptions, or any other payment mechanisms within the app.
6. Data Storage
All app data is stored locally on your device only. This includes:
- Language preferences
- App settings
This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to me or any third party. You can delete this data at any time by uninstalling the app.
7. Internet Connectivity
Spacepedia is designed to work offline. On first launch, the app downloads audio narration files for your selected language from my servers. This is a one-time download that enables the app to work completely offline afterwards. During this download:
- No personal data is collected or transmitted
- Only audio content files are downloaded
- No user identifiers or device information is sent
After the initial audio download, no internet connection is required. All text content and images are included within the app itself.
8. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Spacepedia is designed specifically for children and fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):
- I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13
- I do not require any personal information to use the app
- I do not enable children to make personal information publicly available
- I do not provide any mechanism for children to communicate with others
- There is no user-generated content functionality
👨👩👧 For Parents and Guardians
I encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children's use of all apps. If you have any questions about how Spacepedia protects your child's privacy, please contact me at the email address provided below.
9. Links to External Websites
Spacepedia does not contain any links to external websites within the main app content. Your child cannot accidentally navigate away from the app to external content during normal use.
The app settings contain a "Request Feature" link that opens a web page for feedback. This link is protected behind a parental control dialog that requires adult verification before opening.
10. Data Security
Since I do not collect any data, there is no data that could be compromised. The minimal local preferences stored on your device are protected by your device's built-in security features.
11. International Users
Spacepedia is designed to comply with privacy laws worldwide. Since we do not collect any personal data, there are no cross-border data transfers to consider.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make any material changes, I will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. I encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
