For parents
What KathaKahania does, and does not do, with your child’s reading.
- Stories are reviewed before anyone can read them
- A story goes public only after a reviewer and a different publisher have approved it. Drafts are never shown here.
- English first, other languages only when reviewed
- KathaKahania always opens in English, whatever your device language is. A language is offered for a story only after a fluent reviewer has approved that translation; until then you see English with a note.
- Progress stays on your device
- Stars, trophies and the choices a child tried are saved in this browser (or this app) only. There are no child accounts or profiles, and nothing here is sent anywhere.
- Anonymous counts, and you can switch them off
- We count how often a story is started or finished, in which language and on what kind of device. Nothing says who you are: no name, no account, no device ID. Small groups are never shown to anyone. Your browser’s Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control setting is respected.
- Parent accounts, no child accounts
- Free stories need no account. Stories marked “Free account required” open with a free parent account: an email, a password, and your confirmation that you are an adult. There are no child accounts, profiles, names or ages. Stories marked “Premium” also need access granted by an administrator; there is no way to buy it and no payment is taken anywhere. You can delete your account and its data yourself from your account page.
- Reading offline
- Open a story and choose “Save for offline” to read it later without internet. Saved copies are checked for damage and show their language and version.
