privacy policy

MewMew is a children story app. We are continuously trying our best to generate stories for kids as bedtime stories or as the stories to make connection with in general. Stories help children's condition skills to grow. It helps their creativity and mental health. In this app, parents can read the stories for their beloved kids. Kids will get used to their Mom or Dad's voice which strengthen the child-parent bond. Each story has a plot which is created by us. Currently just one story is being used by external sources and that is the story of tortoise and the hare by fable. If any source other than us (in any way such as graphics, musics, text) is being used, we will mention the external source in acknowledgements section.

User privacy

The user must log into the app in order to use the app. User can log into the app by either Gmail or other types of Email accounts. We don't collect any sensitive information of the user such as the address, GPS location, bank account information. In addition, we don't share any user info to third party organizations as user privacy is highly important to us.

permissions

The following permission is requested prior to installing the app:

  • Request to access the internet: This is required to load the list of the latest stories. In addition, showing each story for the first time requires connecting to the database and uploading the images, texts, etc. We also need the internet access to check with our database to see whether the user is premium or not.

  • Request to access the microphone: This permission is required for parents ONLY to record their voice over each page of the story. The recorded voice is played back when the child is reading the stories.

  • Request to write data on external storage: We need this permission to save the recorded voice of the parents in the phone/tablet. This file will be read again when the story is played.
