Yapling
Privacy policy
Last updated November 2026
What stays on your phone
Your child's name, birth year, scores, progress and voice recordings are stored only on your phone. Yapling does not upload recordings and does not need an account. If you use iCloud Backup, iOS may include the app's data in your own iCloud backup. That is controlled by your Apple account and settings, not by us.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not collect, receive or store any personal information about you or your child. Yapling has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not use a server.
Microphone
Yapling asks for microphone access only so you can record your child practicing a word, to play it back later. Recordings are saved on the phone. You can deny the permission, and the rest of the app keeps working.
Third parties
None. Yapling contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code, and shares nothing with anyone.
Children's privacy
Yapling is meant to be used by a parent or caregiver together with a child. Because we collect no information at all, we do not collect personal information from children, in line with the spirit of COPPA and similar laws. Settings and purchases are behind a grown-ups check.
Purchases
Yapling Pro is a one-time purchase handled by Apple. We do not see your payment details. Purchases are covered by Apple's standard terms: Apple standard EULA.
Deleting your data
Delete recordings in the app at any time. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone.
Not medical advice
Yapling is home practice. It does not diagnose and is not a substitute for a speech-language pathologist. Age guides follow Crowe and McLeod 2020 (American English) and are shown for reference only.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
