Privacy Policy
Effective July 13, 2026
Bolo! is built for small children, so we hold it to the strictest standard we know: collect nothing at all. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what the app does and does not do.
The short version
- Bolo! works completely offline. Nothing about you or your child is ever uploaded, to us or to anyone else.
- There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no third-party tracking code in the app.
- The microphone is used only to make karaoke words glow in the moment. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent.
What stays on the device
During setup a parent can type the child’s first name so the app can show it on screen. That name, along with lesson progress and the sticker collection, is stored only inside the app on your device, and in the device backups you control (like iCloud backup). It is never transmitted to us. Deleting the app deletes it.
Kapi’s voice never speaks the child’s name: every family hears the same warm recordings, in which every child is simply “dost”, friend.
The microphone
The Hanuman Chalisa sing-along can make the words glow while your child sings. To do that, the app asks for microphone access and measures only the sound level in the moment. The level is thrown away immediately: no audio is recorded, stored, transcribed or transmitted, and no speech recognition runs. If you decline the permission, the sing-along still works; the glow simply follows Kapi’s voice instead of your child’s.
Purchases
Bolo! Plus is an optional subscription bought through Apple. Payment runs entirely through your Apple account; we never see your name, address or payment details. Purchase screens sit behind a parent gate designed for grown-up hands, and the app checks your subscription with Apple directly on the device.
Children’s privacy
Bolo! is made for children ages 3 to 6 and follows Apple’s Kids Category rules: no ads, no data collection, and no links or purchases a child can reach. The simplest way to protect a child’s data is to never collect it, so that is what we do. Because nothing is collected, there is nothing to consent to, share, sell or lose. This is how we meet children’s privacy laws such as COPPA.
This website
bolo.kids is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third-party servers. What you read here stays between you and your browser.
Changes
If the app ever changes what it stores, this page changes first and the date at the top moves. A promise this simple should stay simple.
