We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), even where Weekend Stories Publishing may fall under the small business exemption threshold.

The app may store information such as:
- In-app progress and completed activities

[CONFIRM: is this data stored only on the child’s device, or also sent to a server? Update this section once confirmed.]
