Privacy Policy
Last updated October 30, 2026
Introduction
Eco-Hero: Jungle Cleaner is a phonics game for young children, made by Balox Tech. A child helps clean up a jungle and wakes a sleeping animal by saying a letter or word, or by holding the animal on the screen.
This policy explains how the app handles information. It covers the mobile app. This website only publishes the policy. The website does not use accounts, cookies, analytics, or advertising.
Children's privacy
Eco-Hero: Jungle Cleaner is designed for children aged 3 to 8. We follow the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the rules that protect children's data under the GDPR (often called GDPR-K).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and think we have information about your child, email us. We will help you review it and delete it.
- No accounts and no login
- No chat and no social features
- No location
- No access to contacts
- No camera and no photos
Information we collect
We do not send personal information to servers we operate. The game does not include analytics, crash reporting, or advertising software.
The only saved game information is how many stars a child has earned on each level. Those star counts are stored on the device with local storage. They are not sent to us. Uninstalling the app, or clearing the app’s data in the device settings, deletes them. Whether sound is on or off is remembered only while the app is open. It is not saved.
- Not collected: name, email address, phone number, or precise location
- Not collected: photos, contacts, or an advertising identifier
- Stored on the device only: star count for each level
Microphone and voice
The app can ask for microphone permission so a child can say a letter or word and wake the sleeping animal. The microphone is used only during that moment of play.
The app does not record, save, or upload the child’s voice. Speech recognition is performed by the device’s built-in speech service. On Android that is typically Google’s speech service. On iOS it is Apple’s. The app asks that recognizer to run on the device when the device allows it. Those companies may still process the audio under their own privacy policies.
Microphone permission is optional. If you decline it, the game still works. Press and hold the sleeping animal for 3 seconds to wake it.
Text-to-speech
The app speaks letters and words with the phone or tablet’s built-in text-to-speech. That speech is produced on the device by the operating system. We do not send the spoken text to our servers.
Third-party services
The app does not include Firebase, analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or a login service. Music and sound effects are files inside the app. They play on the device and are not streamed from us.
If microphone permission is allowed, the only outside services that may process audio are the device speech services described above:
Advertising and purchases
The app does not show ads. There are no in-app purchases and nothing to buy inside the game.
Data security and retention
Star progress stays on the device. We do not keep a copy of it, so we do not hold a database of children’s profiles. You delete that progress by uninstalling the app or clearing its data.
The app does not store voice recordings. Audio used for a single spoken answer is handled by the device speech service for that moment of play, under that service’s own policy.
Parental rights
Parents and guardians can email baloxtech@gmail.com to ask what information the app handles, to request deletion, or to ask a question about this policy. We will respond to a parent or guardian.
Because star progress is stored only on your device, you can also delete it yourself by uninstalling the app or clearing the app’s data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the app changes. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. This version is dated October 30, 2026.
