Effective Date: February 1, 2026

At flee flame, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how Spelling Bee Amazing ("the App") collects, uses, and protects your data.

Information We Collect

Spelling Bee Amazing is designed with privacy in mind. The App stores data locally on your device and does not collect or transmit personal information to external servers.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following information is stored exclusively on your device using secure local storage:

• Practice Data: Words you've practiced, spelling attempts, accuracy scores, and session history
• Progress & Statistics: Lifetime accuracy, mastered words, total attempts, and performance metrics
• Daily Word Streaks: Current and longest streak data for the Word of the Day feature
• App Settings: Your preferences including practice mode, voice selection, difficulty levels, theme choices, animation settings, and notification preferences
• Custom Word Lists: Any word lists you import for practice

Notifications

If you enable Daily Word reminders, the App will request permission to send local push notifications. These notifications are generated locally on your device at your chosen time and do not involve transmitting data to external servers.

No Account Required

Spelling Bee Amazing does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personally identifiable information. All features work offline once the app is downloaded.

How We Use Your Information

All data collected by the App is used solely to:

• Provide spelling practice functionality with personalized difficulty
• Track your progress and display statistics
• Implement spaced repetition learning algorithms
• Maintain daily word streaks and send optional reminders
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Enable session history review

In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

Spelling Bee Amazing offers optional premium subscriptions that provide access to unlimited practice, advanced features, and additional difficulty levels. Subscriptions are processed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

Subscription Management with RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat, a third-party subscription management service, to manage premium subscriptions. When you subscribe to premium features:

• Anonymous User ID: RevenueCat generates an anonymous user ID to track your subscription status. This ID is not linked to your personal identity.
• Purchase Data: Information about your subscription (such as purchase date, expiration date, and product identifier) is securely processed by RevenueCat.
• Transaction Processing: All payment processing is handled by Apple or Google through their respective payment systems. We do not have access to your payment information, credit card details, or billing addresses.

RevenueCat operates in accordance with their Privacy Policy. The data they collect is limited to what's necessary to manage your subscription and verify your premium access.

Subscription Information

Subscriptions can be cancelled anytime through your App Store or Google Play account settings. You can restore previous purchases on new devices using the "Restore Purchases" option in the App.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your data to third parties. Your practice data, statistics, and preferences never leave your device except as described below.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• RevenueCat: For subscription management and premium access verification. Only subscription-related data (anonymous user ID and purchase transactions) is shared with RevenueCat.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS): The App uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine (via expo-speech) to pronounce words. This processing occurs entirely on your device.
• App Store Analytics: Basic installation and crash reporting data may be collected by Apple App Store or Google Play Store according to their respective privacy policies. This data is anonymized and aggregated.

Children's Privacy

Spelling Bee Amazing is designed for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since all data is stored locally on the device and no accounts are required, children can use the app safely under parental supervision.

Parents and guardians should monitor their children's device usage and app permissions according to their family's privacy preferences.

Data Security

Your data is stored securely on your device using industry-standard local storage mechanisms provided by iOS and Android operating systems. The App does not have access to other apps' data or your device's personal files beyond what is necessary for its functionality.

Data Retention and Deletion

All data remains on your device until you:

• Manually delete it through the App's settings (if available)

• Reset your device to factory settings

Permissions

The App may request the following device permissions:

• Notifications: To send daily word reminders (optional, you can disable in settings)

You can manage these permissions through your device's system settings at any time.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
