Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
At ABCD School (accessible via abcdschool.com), child safety and user privacy are foundational values. This Privacy Policy outlines what information is collected, how advertising and cookies function, and how child privacy is safeguarded when using our educational web platform.
We adhere to the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation for Kids (GDPR-K), and child-directed advertising guidelines to ensure that young learners can practice letters, numbers, and handwriting safely.

Client-Side Local Storage & Control
To provide young learners with joyful positive reinforcement (such as star stickers, celebratory confetti, and daily practice streaks), ABCD School utilizes standard browser localStorage.
This data never leaves your personal phone, tablet, iPad, or computer. It is stored locally in your browser and is never uploaded to an external database.
Want to wipe all progress data?
Parents can reset all progress, stars, and streaks at any time behind the Parent Gate.
Advertising & Cookies Disclosure
To keep ABCD School completely free and accessible for families, classrooms, and homeschoolers worldwide, we work with reputable third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense and educational ad networks) to display advertisements on our website.
👶 Child-Directed Advertising Compliance (COPPA)
In strict compliance with COPPA and Google's Tag for Child-Directed Treatment (TFCD), advertisements served on child-directed educational areas are non-personalized, family-friendly, and do not track or profile children for behavioral advertising. Ad networks are instructed not to collect persistent identifiers for interest-based targeting on child sessions.
🍪 Third-Party Cookies & Ad Serving
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. These cookies allow ad providers to serve relevant, family-appropriate ads and prevent ad fraud or duplicate impressions.
⚙️ Parent Control & Ad Choices Opt-Out
Parents and adult users can manage personalized advertising preferences or opt out of personalized ad tracking by visiting:
Progressive Web App (PWA) & Offline Caching
ABCD School is engineered as an offline-first Progressive Web App. Educational letter assets, high-definition SVG vectors, and spoken audio synthesis files are cached securely within your browser's local cache storage.
Once loaded, your child can continue tracing letters, connecting dots, and drawing on road trips, airplane flights, or areas without Wi-Fi connection without sending any telemetry back to the web.
Parental Rights & Inquiries
Under COPPA and applicable privacy regulations, parents and legal guardians have the right to review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's information. Because learning progress is kept locally on your device, parents possess 100% direct control over this data at all times.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns regarding our privacy practices, advertising safeguards, or educational content, our team is at your disposal:
