JuniorGlobe is designed to help children read world news in a kid-friendly way. Payments, restore purchases, parent-only reports, and parent support links are placed behind a parent gate, and the current version aims to minimize collection of children's personal information.
How the app reduces child data collection
The current version does not ask children to create accounts, publish profiles, upload photos, post publicly, or join chats.
Core reading features do not require contacts, camera, photo library, microphone, or precise location permissions.
When data may be transmitted
When the app connects to news sources, Apple purchase flows, RevenueCat subscription services, or app-configured backend services, those services may process IP address and standard request metadata as part of normal network operation.
When AI read-aloud is used, the selected story text, language, reading age, and voice settings are sent to the app's configured narration service to generate audio.
Parent rights and contact
Parents can contact the developer using the support email at the bottom of this page with questions about child privacy, billing, or data handling.
If a parent does not want story text sent to a remote narration service, the AI read-aloud feature should not be used.
If JuniorGlobe is downloaded and used through the App Store, use of the app is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
How it applies
Unless the app later provides a custom end user license agreement, JuniorGlobe currently relies on Apple's standard App Store license terms.
For scope of license, external services, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law, the Apple document controls.
Relation to this app
JuniorGlobe connects to news sources, subscription services, and remote narration services, so availability of external services may affect content and read-aloud features.
App Store purchase, refund, and device-use rules remain governed by Apple's store terms and processes.
This policy describes the data handling that exists in the current version of JuniorGlobe. It does not cover features that have not shipped.
Data stored on device
Language/edition preferences and reading-age preferences are stored in UserDefaults on the device.
Premium saved stories, the 30-day archive, and parent weekly-report data are stored locally on device, and the weekly report is generated from that local data.
AI narration audio files can be cached on device to reduce wait time for replay, and older cached files are pruned automatically.
Data requested over the network
The app fetches RSS or story data from trusted news sources.
If subscription features are used, Apple and RevenueCat process purchase, restore-purchase, and entitlement-status information.
If Premium rewritten briefs are enabled, the app may request rewritten story feeds from the configured rewrite service.
If AI read-aloud is used, the app sends the selected story text, language, reading age, and voice settings to the configured narration service.
What the current version does not do
The current version does not include child-facing social posting, public chat, personalized advertising, or in-app account registration.
The app does not actively request contacts, camera, photo library, microphone, or precise location permissions for its core reading features.
Retention and controls
Deleting the app removes the local data stored on the device.
If Premium access ends, locally stored archive and saved-story data tied to Premium library features may be cleared from the device.
