BrinquimPrivacy Policy
In short:
• Brinquim has no sign-up, shows no ads and uses no analytics or tracking tools.
• We, TRNG, do not receive or store children's data on any server of ours.
• Game data stays on the device. On iPhone and iPad it can sync through your family's private iCloud, and you can turn that off.
• When your child uses the microphone, speech is transcribed on the device itself and is never recorded or sent anywhere.
1. Who we are
Brinquim is developed by TRNG Capital & Negócios Ltda, Brazilian company registration (CNPJ) 61.171.026/0001-97, based in São Paulo, Brazil ("TRNG", "we"). For any privacy matter, including requests under data-protection laws, email [email protected].
2. Who the app is for
Brinquim is an educational games app for children, with special attention to neurodivergent kids. It is meant to be set up and supervised by a parent or guardian. Settings are protected by a grown-up PIN and a challenge only an adult can solve.
We handle privacy in the child's best interest, following Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, art. 14), the App Store Kids Category rules, Google Play's Families policy, and the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
3. What the app stores, and where
To work, the app stores some information on the device itself. None of it is sent to TRNG.
| Information | Purpose | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Child profile: first name or nickname, age, chosen avatar, language | Keeping each child's progress separate and matching difficulty to age | On the device (and in your family's iCloud if sync is on, iPhone/iPad) |
| Progress: points, stars, badges, per-game difficulty, play history and minutes played | Rewards, adaptive difficulty, progress report and weekly summary for parents | Same as above |
| Drawings, collages and puzzles your child creates | The "My Art" gallery | Same as above |
| Piano tunes (the sequence of notes, not microphone audio) | Playing back what your child composed | On the device |
| Preferences: grown-up PIN, screen-time limit, theme, sounds, handedness | Settings chosen by the adult | On the device |
We recommend using only a first name or nickname. The app never asks for a last name, date of birth, photo, email, phone number or address.
Play history is kept for the period the adult chooses in Settings (3, 6, 12 or 24 months) and is then deleted automatically.
4. Microphone and speech recognition
In word games, children can answer out loud. The microphone turns on only when the child taps the mic button. Transcription happens on the device only: audio is not recorded, not stored, and not sent to TRNG, Apple, Google or anyone else.
On Android, the mic only appears on devices that can guarantee on-device recognition (Android 13 or later). Speaking is always optional: every answer can also be given by tapping.
5. iCloud sync (iPhone and iPad)
On iPhone and iPad, profiles, progress and drawings can sync across your family's devices using the private iCloud database of the Apple Account signed in on the device. That data lives in your family's iCloud account under Apple's privacy terms. TRNG has no access to it. You can turn sync off at any time in the app's settings.
There is no sync on Android: data stays on the device.
6. Playing with friends
- On one device: nothing leaves the device.
- With a friend nearby: the two devices connect directly (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth), without going through the internet, and exchange only game moves and the profile name. On Android, nearby duels are available on Android 13 or later only and use just the "nearby devices" permission (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) to find the other device. Brinquim does not ask for location permission and has no way to know where your child is.
- Online (iPhone and iPad only): online duels use Game Center, an Apple service, and sit behind the parental gate. Game Center runs on the device's Apple Account under Apple's privacy terms. Game moves are exchanged through Game Center. If a grown-up turns on Achievements & rankings in Settings (off by default), scores, achievements and challenges are also sent to Game Center; rankings are public under the Game Center nickname. TRNG does not receive that data.
7. Notifications
If the adult allows it, the app can show a local notification with the weekly summary. It is generated on the device, with no TRNG notification server.
8. What we don't do
- We show no ads of any kind.
- We use no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and no advertising identifiers.
- We don't sell, rent or share children's data.
- We don't build behavioral profiles for advertising.
- There is no chat, open messaging or photo sharing between users.
- Links out of the app and purchase screens sit behind the parental gate.
9. Purchases and subscriptions
The Brinquim Premium subscription is paid for and processed by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play using the parent's account. TRNG never receives card or payment details. The app itself asks the store, on the device, whether the subscription is active; that answer is not sent to any TRNG server. The sales and financial reports Apple and Google give TRNG do not identify the child.
10. Your rights and deleting data
Because data lives on the device (and, if enabled, in your family's iCloud), the parent is fully in control:
- Delete a profile: Settings (behind the PIN) → Manage players → delete the profile. This removes that child's history, drawings and tunes.
- Delete everything on the device: uninstall the app.
- Delete from iCloud: iPhone/iPad Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Brinquim.
You can also write to us to exercise your rights under the LGPD, COPPA or other applicable laws (access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent). Since we don't keep children's data on our servers, in practice we'll guide you through doing it on the device.
11. Security
Data is protected by the device's operating system (app sandboxing and device encryption) and, for iCloud, by your Apple Account's security. We recommend setting a passcode or biometrics on the device your child uses.
12. This website
This site (brinquim.trng.capital) uses no cookies, analytics or third-party services. It only stores your language choice (English or Portuguese) in your browser.
13. Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For meaningful changes, such as starting to collect something new, we'll let you know in the app and, where the law requires, ask for parental consent first.
