Muddlewood Math Privacy Policy

Effective date: 6 October 2026

Muddlewood Math keeps everything on this device. It stores, in the app's own folder: which facts were answered, right or wrong and how long each took; the stars won; which friends are home; what the hero wears; the sound levels and the grown-up settings. It sends nothing anywhere. There are no accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases, no chat and no analytics. The device may back the folder up with its own backup (Google's on Android, iCloud on iPhone and iPad), under the device's settings. To erase it all, tap Start over on the Grown-ups screen (it deletes the saved game and every copy of it on this device; the sound settings stay), or uninstall the app.

What the game keeps on the device

The game saves its progress in its own folder on the device: which math facts were answered, whether each answer was right or wrong and how long it took; the stars won on each street; which friends have been brought home and which parts of the story have been seen; what the hero wears and the colours chosen for it; the sound levels; and the settings a grown-up sets (bigger text, calm effects, relaxed timer). This is used only to save progress and to choose which facts to practise next. It is never sent to us or to anyone else.

What the game does not collect

The game does not ask for or collect a child's name, birthdate, email address, phone number, school, location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, voice, advertising identifier, device identifier or any free-form writing. There is no account and no login.

Voices

Every voice in the game is computer-generated (text-to-speech), not a human voice. The game never listens: there is no microphone access and no speech recognition.

Accounts, advertising and purchases

The game has no accounts, no advertising, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no chat, no analytics, no crash reporting, no public sharing and no user-generated content. It makes no network calls and has no links out of it.

Device backup

The device may include the game's folder in its own backup: Google's Auto Backup on Android, under the device owner's Google account and settings; iCloud Backup on iPhone and iPad, under the owner's Apple Account and settings. That copy is made by the device, not by the game, and contains only the progress described above. It can be turned off in the device's backup settings.

Children's privacy

The game is made for children aged about 7 to 10. Because no personal information is collected or transmitted, no profile of a child is built, nothing is used for advertising and nothing about a child is shared with third parties.

Deleting the data

A grown-up can erase all progress with Start over on the Grown-ups screen (reached through the lantern on the map; it asks a two-digit times sum). Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in the device's settings, also deletes everything the game kept.

Changes

If a future version changes any of this, this policy and the app-store declarations will be updated before that version is released.
