Happy Minds is an educational worksheet and activity app for children, including children with autism/ADHD and other learning needs. We take privacy — especially children's privacy — seriously. In short: the app does not require an account, does not ask for personal details, and does not collect or sell personal information.
Happy Minds is developed and published by Muthulakshmi & Navin (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at sahnav.apps@gmail.com.
We do not collect, store, or transmit to ourselves any personal information. Specifically, the app does not:
To make the app work, some information is saved locally on your device and never leaves it (except as noted in Section 4):
This is kept in your device's local storage. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data permanently removes it. We have no access to it.
The app is available in many languages and can read text aloud. To do this, the text shown in the app (worksheet words, instructions, and interface labels — never personal information) is sent to Google's translation and text-to-speech services to return the translated text and spoken audio. The app may also load animated picture/emoji images from Google's servers.
These requests are handled by Google under Google's Privacy Policy. They are used only to provide translation, audio, and images — not to identify your child. Translations are cached on your device so the app works offline afterwards.
Premium is offered as an optional monthly or yearly subscription through Google Play. All payments are processed by Google — we never see or store your payment details. Google shares only whether a valid subscription is active, which the app uses to unlock Premium features. You can manage or cancel a subscription anytime in the Google Play app. Purchases are governed by Google Play's Terms.
Premium confirms with Google Play that your subscription is still active. This happens on your device, roughly once a month; nothing is sent to us. Between checks Premium works with no internet at all — so a long journey, a holiday, or a home with no signal is fine. If about a month passes with no connection at all, Premium pauses and the app asks you to go online once; it comes back as soon as you do. The free content never needs a connection and is never paused.
This app is designed for children and families. Consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU GDPR, and Google Play's Families policy, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. There is no chat, no social features, no user-generated content shared with others, and no behavioral advertising. Any name a parent or child types is optional and stays only on the device.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any information. The only data leaving your device is the on-screen text sent to Google's translation/voice services (Section 4) and the subscription status from Google Play (Section 5). We do not receive that data ourselves.
Because progress and preferences are stored only on your device, their security is tied to your device. We retain nothing on our side. You are always in control: clearing the app's data or uninstalling removes everything.
If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, note it in the app or store listing. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
