Privacy Policy - Camille Countryside

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Summary: Camille Countryside is a children's bedtime story app that respects your family's privacy. All data stays on your device and your personal iCloud account. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. We have no servers and no analytics. Starting with the latest version, the app can send anonymous usage statistics — but only if a parent explicitly agrees when asked. It is off until you say yes, it contains nothing personal, it uses no advertising identifier, and it can be turned off again at any time in Settings. See section 7.

1. Introduction

Camille Countryside ("the App") is developed by Thadubiz ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and your children's privacy.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not do:

We do not collect any personal information
We do not access your voice recordings
We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs
We do not serve advertisements
We do not share any data with third parties
We have no servers — zero backend infrastructure

3. Data Storage

3.1 On-Device Storage

All your data is stored locally on your device:

Voice recordings (.m4a files) — when you record your own narration, audio files are saved in the app's private Documents directory
User preferences (language, audio settings, onboarding status) are stored in UserDefaults

3.2 iCloud Sync (Optional)

If you enable iCloud Sync in the App's Settings, your preferences and voice recordings are synced between your devices via Apple's iCloud:

Settings are synced via iCloud Key-Value Store (language, audio preferences)
Voice recordings are synced via iCloud Documents

This data is stored in your personal iCloud account, managed by Apple, and protected by your Apple ID credentials. We have no access to your iCloud data. You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in the App's Settings.

4. Microphone

The App requests microphone permission to allow parents to record their own voice narration for each story page. Audio is stored only on your device (and in your personal iCloud if sync is enabled). The microphone is never used for any other purpose.

You can revoke microphone permission at any time in iOS Settings.

5. In-App Purchases

Camille Countryside offers a one-time purchase to unlock all episodes. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect any payment information. Purchase status is verified locally on your device via StoreKit.

6. Children's Privacy

Camille Countryside is designed for children aged 3 and above, to be used with parental supervision. We take children's privacy very seriously:

We collect absolutely no data from children or adults
The App contains no advertisements
The App contains no links to external websites accessible to children
The App contains no social features
The App does not connect to the internet for its core functionality (stories, illustrations, narration are all bundled)
Voice recording requires parental action (microphone permission prompt)

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable international regulations regarding children's privacy.

7. Anonymous Usage Statistics (Optional)

The first time the App opens, it asks whether you agree to share anonymous usage statistics. You can decline, and the App works exactly the same. You can change your mind at any time in Settings → Anonymous statistics.

Nothing is sent unless you say yes. Until then — and again immediately if you turn it off — the App transmits nothing at all.

If you agree, the App records simple, anonymous facts about how the stories are used, so we can make them better. For example: that an episode was opened, whether it was read to the end or left before the last page, that the purchase screen was shown, or that the voice-recording feature was used. These are counts of actions, not content.

What is never collected: your name, your child's name, your email, your address, your contacts, your location, your photos, and your voice recordings — the stories you record in your own voice stay on your device and in your private iCloud, and are never sent to us or to anyone else.

No advertising identifier. The App is built with the variant of Google Analytics for Firebase that excludes the advertising identifier (IDFA) entirely. The App displays no advertising and does not track you across other apps or websites.

These statistics are processed by Google Analytics for Firebase on our behalf, and are retained only for a limited period before being deleted automatically. Google's handling of this data is described in the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation.

8. Data Deletion

Since all data is stored on your device and your personal iCloud account:

Delete individual voice recordings within the App
Delete the App entirely to remove all local data
Manage iCloud data through iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage

There is no data on our servers to delete because we have no servers.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
