Privacy policy
Last updated November 16, 2026
The short version. Pip Learning has no accounts. What your child does in the app stays on your phone. We don't collect your child's name, we don't track them, and we never show ads or sell anything.
This policy covers the Pip Learning app for iPhone, made by Marvin (“we”). Pip is made for children, so we built it to need as little information as possible.
What stays on the phone
To run lessons and show progress, the app saves these things on the phone, and only on the phone:
- A made-up name
- The app makes one up from word lists, like “BraveOtter23”. Children never type their real name.
- Grade and state
- So lessons match your child's grade and their state's standards (California or Arizona).
- Birthday
- Used to suggest a grade and to give Pip a birthday surprise on the day.
- Answers and progress
- Lessons finished, stars, streaks, shells collected and Pip's outfits.
- Settings
- Sounds, vibration and similar choices.
We can't see any of this. It isn't sent to us or to anyone else.
What the app downloads
The app downloads new and updated lessons from our content server. These downloads are the same for every child and carry nothing about your child: no name, grade, answers or device ID. Like any request on the internet, the server can see the phone's IP address while it sends the lessons. Our hosting provider, Supabase, keeps routine server logs for a short time to run and protect the service. We don't use them to identify or follow anyone.
What we don't do
- No accounts, sign-in, email or phone number.
- No ads, and no advertising ID.
- No analytics, tracking or crash reporting, and no third-party tools that report on your child.
- No chat, photos, microphone, camera, location or contacts.
- No in-app purchases, and no links out of the app for your child to follow.
- We never sell or share information about children.
Erasing everything
Everything lives on the phone, so it's in your hands:
- In the app, open Settings and tap Erase my progress.
- Or delete the app. That removes everything it saved.
If you use iCloud or computer backups, your phone's backup may include the app's saved progress, under your own Apple account.
Children's privacy
Pip Learning is made for children, including children under 13. Because the app has no accounts and keeps your child's information on the phone, we don't collect personal information from your child. If you think we have information about your child, contact us and we'll delete it.
Coming later
A future version may let parents and teachers follow a child's progress. That would be optional, and it would need a parent's permission first. We'll update this policy before any such feature arrives, and we won't apply it to anything collected without that permission.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll post the new version here and update the date at the top.
