Children's privacy

Made for reading together

Storyloka is designed for children aged 5–10 reading with a parent, carer or teacher. The family lessons are written for that age; the full historical source texts are meant for grown-ups.

What we collect from children

Nothing. The app never asks for a birthday, email, photo, voice recording or location. Children never sign up. A grown-up may choose to create an optional account (email, or Apple on iPhone and iPad) to keep their plan; it sits behind the grown-up check and holds only the grown-up's sign-in details and plan, never anything about a child.

A grown-up can add a reader profile with a nickname (a real name is not needed), an age range and a colour. That profile, along with progress, favourites and notes, is stored only on the family's device and never leaves it.

What the app does not have

• No advertising. The single optional purchase sits behind a grown-up check and is never shown to children as a prompt
• No analytics or tracking software
• No chat, comments or messaging
• No links that take a child out to social media
• No autoplay chains, streak pressure or reward loops

The grown-up check

The full source texts keep their historical language and some mature themes. Before opening them, the app shows a simple grown-up check (a quick sum). This helps keep young children in the family lessons, but it is a reading aid, not a secure parental lock. Grown-ups can also turn off source access in Family settings.

The website and children

Children are welcome to play the picture hunt on this website. It stores their streak and found lights only in the browser. The waitlist form is for grown-ups; we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us their email, contact storylokaa@gmail.com and we will delete it.
