Privacy Policy

App Name: Latter-Day Littles | Developer: Latter-Day Littles | Website: latterdaylittles.org
Last Updated: May 2026

Welcome to Latter-Day Littles ("we," "us," or "our"). We develop wholesome and free Unity 2D mobile applications designed for children under the age of 13 and families. Because our primary users are children, we take privacy and data safety extremely seriously.

This Privacy Policy is written in plain, straightforward language to give parents, guardians, and regulators complete clarity regarding how our mobile application (the "App") operates. It details our absolute commitment to a data-minimization operational structure.

1. Our Strict "Zero-Data" Guarantee

Our top priority is the safety of children. Our App operates on a local-first, data-minimization architecture:

• No User Accounts: Children and families can use all features of the App immediately without creating an account, registering an email address, or logging in via social networks.
• No Contact Information: The App never asks for, captures, or prompts a user to type names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, or nicknames.
• No Audio/Visual Media Collection: The App does not request access to, nor does it use, the device camera, microphone, local photo storage, or file system.

2. Complete Exclusion of Tracking & Identifiers

Modern mobile ecosystems heavily utilize background device identifiers for tracking user behavior over time. Latter-Day Littles intentionally excludes all forms of behavioral tracking:

• No Persistent Device Identifiers: We do not collect, transmit, or process persistent hardware or software tokens, including Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), Google's Advertising ID (AAID), Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), or unique Android/iOS device tokens for analytical profiling.
• No Localized Tracking or Fingerprinting: We do not construct hardware configurations or network-state profiles ("fingerprints") to identify unique user devices across sessions. Your child's gameplay restarts locally and stays entirely private to their physical device.
• No Geolocation Data: The App does not access fine (GPS) or coarse (cellular/Wi-Fi triangulation) location data. It does not look up local zip codes or map street levels.

3. Third-Party Services & Infrastructure Architecture

To deliver a high-quality interactive 2D experience, the App utilizes trusted foundational framework software. We tightly restrict how these integrations operate:

Unity Engine Framework: The App is built using the Unity 2D game engine. While Unity inherently includes developer tools, we have explicitly ensured that all tracking components are entirely absent from our project environment. This includes the complete non-use of Unity Analytics, Unity Gaming Services (UGS) Core, or automated remote diagnostics. Any processing within the engine happens entirely on the local runtime system of your device and does not leave the client hardware.

Absolute Absence of Advertising: To completely guarantee a safe environment for young children, Latter-Day Littles does not include any third-party ad networks, tracking toolkits, or marketing software. There are no commercial advertisements displayed inside the application.

4. Regulatory Compliance Frameworks

Latter-Day Littles is engineered from the ground up to operate in strict compliance with the most stringent global data frameworks, including evolving 2026 standards:

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): The App is designed from the ground up to fully satisfy COPPA requirements (16 CFR Part 312). Because we do not collect, store, or share any "personal information" (including names, emails, location data, or tracking identifiers) from children under the age of 13, we are not required to seek Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC). We intentionally maintain a zero-data footprint to provide an inherently safe environment that eliminates the risk of inadvertent COPPA non-compliance.

GDPR-K & UK Children's Code Compliance: For users within the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK), the App operates in complete conformity with GDPR Article 8 and the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code). By implementing an absolute data-minimization strategy where no personal data leaves the user's terminal device for analytical or profiling purposes, the App achieves the highest level of "Data Protection by Design and by Default." No child data processing requiring localized parental consent occurs within our infrastructure.

Modern 2026 US State Age-Assurance Laws: As of 2026, numerous US jurisdictions (including California, Utah, Texas, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, and others) have enacted comprehensive Age-Appropriate Design Codes, Social Media Minor Protection laws, and Consumer Privacy Amendments. Latter-Day Littles addresses these modern regulations perfectly:

• Frictionless Safety: Because the App collects no data, does not contain dark patterns, does not include public chat rooms, and cannot lead to profile exploitation or cyberbullying, it creates zero risk of algorithmic harm to minors.
• Platform Signal Integration: The App properly communicates with 2026 native mobile operating system standards, applying Apple's modern Privacy Manifests and Google Play's standard Data Safety assertions to declare its status as a self-certified child-safe application. This aligns with automated platform-level age-assurance frameworks, ensuring proper restriction on device resource tracking at the OS layer.

5. Parental Rights & Information Auditing

Even though our data collection footprint is non-existent, we strongly champion parental oversight. If you are a parent or guardian and want to verify our adherence to this policy, you hold complete rights:

• You may contact us at any time to confirm that no personal data or profiles associated with your household or device have been collected or retained.
• In the highly improbable event that personal information is mistakenly transmitted to us (for example, if a parent includes sensitive personal context within a direct customer support email), we will immediately delete that information securely from our records.

6. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect minor adjustments in framework versioning or developer platform requirements. Any updates will be published directly to this page with an updated "Last Updated" date at the very top. We encourage parents to review this policy occasionally to remain confident in our unbroken data-protection practices.
