Designed for children. Explained for parents.
What data FonoBeat uses, what it leaves alone and what happens to your child's voice, in plain words.
What data FonoBeat handles — and what it never touches
What we do use
- The adult's email
- To create and protect the account — which is always yours, never the child's.
- The child profile’s nickname and age
- To greet them and match content to their stage. Age is stored in years; there is no field for their legal name or their date of birth.
- Practice progress
- Words practised, songs, streaks and stars: what feeds their progress and what you see summarised in the parent dashboard.
- Subscription status
- Active or expired. The store processes the payment: we never see your card.
What we never ask for or store
- The child's real name, ID document or exact date of birth
- Their location
- Their photos, contacts or device files
- Recordings of their voice: processed then discarded, never stored
- Card details or payment methods
- Browsing history or activity outside the app
Their voice is heard for a moment, then discarded
To assess pronunciation, the app needs to hear the attempt. What it never needs is to keep it. Here's how every practice works:
-
Your child sings
The attempt's audio is sent encrypted, for that assessment only.
-
It's assessed right there
The system compares the attempt with the reference and generates the kind feedback.
-
The audio is discarded
It stays on no server and we don’t use it to train any system. The result is kept (the stars, the progress), never the sound.
No advertising. On any plan. Not even the free one.
Advertising to children requires knowing the child in order to persuade them, and that is exactly what we don’t want to be. FonoBeat integrates no advertising SDKs or third-party trackers in the app, and this website uses no tracking cookies: it measures with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies or a user identifier, and with its own log that only counts visits arriving through a coded link. Our model is boring and transparent: a straightforward subscription, and that’s it.
The legal framework COPPA, in plain language
-
The account always belongs to the adult; children don't create accounts and can't do so by accident.
-
The child’s profile carries a nickname and an age — not a real identity.
-
Purchases, settings and external links sit behind a parental gate; the child's side is only for singing and practising.
-
You can request correction or deletion of your family's data whenever you want.
