Thinkle privacy policy
Publisher: NK Tools
Effective date: October 9, 2026
Thinkle is a learning game for children aged 4–8 with offline activities. It does not require an account and does not transmit child profiles, puzzle answers, learning progress or artwork to us. It shows ads through Google AdMob. There are no purchases or separate analytics SDKs.
Information on your device
An optional nickname, selected avatar and age band, puzzle answers, progress, stickers, artwork, play time and settings are saved in app-private storage on your device. We do not request a child's email, full birth date, school, location, photos, camera or microphone. A parent PIN is stored as a salted hash, not as readable digits.
Advertising
Thinkle shows one labelled banner on the Explore screen and, after a finished round, an optional bonus-sticker video that plays only if the child taps Watch. Ads are requested with child-directed treatment and a maximum G content rating. Android advertising ID and AdServices permissions are removed, and we never pass child profiles, answers or learning progress to Google. Google's ads SDK may collect and share IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), app and ad interactions, diagnostics and device or app identifiers for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Google encrypts this data in transit. Child-directed settings restrict personalised advertising. See https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure. Learning works without ads or a connection. Ads remain unavailable if the consent SDK does not permit requests.
Reminders
If a parent enables daily reminders and permits notifications, Android schedules them locally. No push service or server is used. Reminders can be disabled in the parent area or Android settings.
Retention and deletion
Detailed answer history older than 90 days is pruned when the app loads. Other local progress remains until deleted. Parents can delete a profile or reset all data from the parent area. Uninstalling or clearing app storage deletes local data. Android backup is disabled; there is no cloud recovery.
Support and website
Parents can contact anithabheesetty@gmail.com. If you email us, your email provider delivers your message and address so we can respond. Do not send children's personal information. Our separate website is hosted by Cloudflare, which may process IP addresses and request details to deliver and protect the site. No website analytics or advertising scripts are added by us.
Children and changes
We do not collect children's profile information on our servers. AdMob's processing of technical information is described above; deleting a local profile does not erase data already processed by Google. Parents can contact us with privacy or deletion questions, and use Google's privacy controls for information held by Google. Material changes to these practices will be reflected in an updated policy.
