Privacy policy

Spell with Abi collects no data. Nothing about you or your child leaves your iPhone or iPad, and we can't see any of it.

What the app stores, and where

The app keeps your child's spelling lists, progress, stars, memory tricks and support settings in a file on your device. It is never sent to us or anyone else. There is no account, no sign-in and no server.

Your device's own backup (iCloud Backup or a computer backup, if you use one) may include this file, as it does for most apps. That backup is controlled by you and Apple, not by us. Deleting the app deletes the file.

The optional grown-ups password

If you set a password, it is stored only on this device, in Apple's secure Keychain, and only in a scrambled form (a salted hash), never as the password itself. It is never synced or backed up to another device. If you delete the app and install it again, the old password is cleared the first time it opens.

A password can only be added on a device that has a passcode. If you forget it, the app asks for your device's own passcode or Face ID instead. Your passcode and face data are handled entirely by Apple; the app only learns "yes" or "no".

Camera and photos

If you choose Scan a list, the camera is used to photograph your child's spelling list. If you choose Use a photo, you pick one picture with Apple's private photo picker, and the app can only see that one picture. The words are read on your device by Apple's built-in text recognition. The picture itself is not kept and never leaves your device; only the words go into the list, where you can check and edit them.

Speech

Words are read aloud using the voices built into your device. Nothing you or your child types or says is sent anywhere. The app does not use the microphone.

What we don't do

• No analytics, tracking or crash reporting.
• No adverts, and no in-app purchases.
• No third-party code or services inside the app.
• We never sell, share or receive any information about you or your child.

Children

Spell with Abi is made for primary-age children, to be set up by a parent or carer. Because the app collects no personal information at all, from children or adults, it meets the requirements of the UK GDPR and the Age Appropriate Design Code, and of the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Links

The only links out of the app are to this page and the help page. They sit in the grown-ups settings.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. We won't start collecting data without updating the app and this page first.
