2. 🔒 Anishininewmowin Keyboard Extension

Our app includes an optional custom keyboard for typing in Anishininewmowin across all apps on your device.

  • The keyboard does NOT require special permissions (Android).
  • The keyboard works completely OFFLINE – no internet connection needed.
  • All keyboard processing happens locally on your device.
  • No analytics, tracking, or data collection of any kind.

✨ How It Works

  • The keyboard is installed automatically with the app.

4. Retention & Deletion

  • Account data (name, email, hashed password, age group, user ID, profile photo) is kept until you delete your account or we no longer need it for legal/operational reasons.
