Privacy Policy for Sounds Like
Last Updated: Aug 29, 2026
SRSS Softwares (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Sounds Like mobile application. This app is designed as an educational tool for children to learn sounds from various categories such as animals, birds, and vehicles.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially children. This policy explains how we handle information within the app.
1. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
Our Service is designed for children. We take special care to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical locations from our users.
- No Account Creation: Users are not required to create an account or provide any login credentials to use the app.
- No Tracking: We do not use cookies, web beacons, or any other tracking technologies to follow user behavior across other apps or websites.
2. Data Storage and Usage
All data generated by the user within the app is stored locally on the user’s device and is never transmitted to our servers.
- Local Database: We use an on-device database (Room) to store “Favorite” items marked by the user.
- User Preferences: Preferences such as selected language and onboarding status are stored locally using Android DataStore.
- Media Playback: The app uses the Android MediaPlayer and Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine to play sounds and speak names. These processes happen on the device.
3. Third-Party Services
While the app itself does not collect data, it uses standard Android system services provided by Google:
- Google Play Services: Used for app delivery and updates. Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Android TTS Engine: Used for the “Speak Name” feature. This is a system-level tool.
The app does not contain any third-party advertisements or in-app purchases, ensuring a safe environment for children.
4. Permissions
The app requires minimal permissions to function:
- Internet Access: Used only for technical requirements of the Android platform (e.g., potential TTS voice data downloads by the system) and does not involve data collection by us.
5. Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of that data depends on the security of your device. We do not transmit your data over the internet, which significantly reduces the risk of data breaches.
6. Your Rights
Parents and guardians have full control over the app’s local data. You can clear all app data (including favorites and settings) at any time through your Android device settings:
Settings > Apps > Sounds Like > Storage > Clear Data.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
