Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Spell Spark

Effective Date: [May 31, 2025]

1. Introduction

Welcome to Spell Spark! This app was lovingly created by us as a fun way to help children and users of all ages improve their spelling and vocabulary. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of all our users, especially children.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use Spell Spark, how that information is used, and your choices regarding that information. By using Spell Spark, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Spell Spark is designed with privacy in mind. We do not directly collect, store, or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from you or your child. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your physical address or precise location
  • Your phone number
  • Photos, videos, or audio from your device
  • Contacts from your device

Any game-related progress, such as your current level or lists of words, is stored locally on your device only and is not sent to us or any third party by the Spell Spark app itself.

3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (Advertisements)

Spell Spark displays advertisements to help keep the app free and pay for the AI interaction. These ads are provided by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service.

  • Data Collected by AdMob: When you use Spell Spark, AdMob may collect certain anonymous or non-personally identifiable information to serve ads. This may include:
    • Device identifiers (such as the Advertising ID on Android)
    • IP address (which can be used to estimate general geographic location)
    • Information about your interactions with ads shown in the app (e.g., if an ad was clicked).
    • Device information such as type, operating system, and language settings.
  • How AdMob Uses This Data: Google AdMob uses this information to:
    • Serve relevant advertisements to you.
    • Measure the effectiveness of ads.
    • Prevent fraud and improve their advertising services.
  • Child-Directed Ads: As Spell Spark is suitable for children, we configure our ad requests to Google AdMob to be treated as appropriate for a child-directed or mixed audience. This means that ads should be contextually relevant and not based on behavioral targeting for users designated as children. For users under the age of consent, AdMob is instructed to serve non-personalized ads or ads that are otherwise compliant with child-directed policies.
  • AdMob’s Privacy Policies: We encourage you to review Google’s policies regarding advertising and data usage:
  • Managing Ad Preferences: Users can often control interest-based advertising on their mobile devices by adjusting their device’s ad settings (e.g., “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android or “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS).

4. How We Use Information

Since Spell Spark does not collect PII directly, we do not use such information. Any game progress data stored locally on your device is used solely for the functionality of the app, such as saving your progress and customizing your in-game experience.

Data collected by Google AdMob is used by Google in accordance with their privacy policies, as described above.

5. Data Sharing

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information through Spell Spark, and therefore, we do not share any such information with third parties.

Google AdMob may share the information it collects as described in its privacy policies. We do not control how Google AdMob shares this data.

6. Children’s Privacy

Spell Spark is designed to be suitable for children. We are committed to protecting children’s privacy online.

  • We do not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your region, such as 16 in some parts of Europe under GDPR) without verifiable parental consent, or as otherwise permitted by law. Our app is structured so that it does not require or request such information.
  • As mentioned in Section 3, advertisements shown to children are intended to be appropriate and are configured through AdMob’s settings for child-directed treatment or for users under the age of consent.
  • Parents or guardians who believe that their child may have provided us with personal information (which should not happen through the app itself) can contact us at [Your Email Address], and we will make efforts to address the situation.
  • Parents have the right to review any PII collected from their child (though we state we collect none), ask to have it deleted, and refuse to allow further collection or use of the child’s information.

7. Data Security

Any game progress or settings data that Spell Spark stores is kept locally on your device. We do not transmit this data off your device. While no system is 100% secure, local storage is generally controlled by the security of your device’s operating system.

8. Links to Other Sites or Third-Party Services

Advertisements displayed within Spell Spark may contain links to third-party websites or services. If you click on these links, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Your Rights

Since we do not collect PII, your primary method for removing any data associated with Spell Spark is to uninstall the application from your device, which will remove its locally stored data. For information on managing data collected by Google AdMob, please refer to Google’s privacy policies and your device’s ad settings.

If you are in a region with specific data protection rights (like GDPR in Europe), you can contact Google to understand and exercise your rights regarding the data they collect via AdMob.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page (i.e., on your website at [Link to Your Privacy Policy on Your Website]) and updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
