Privacy Policy

Welcome to Spell Buzz ("we," "our," "us," or "the App"). Spell Buzz is a spelling bee application designed to help users improve their spelling skills. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

By using Spell Buzz, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

Spell Buzz is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a user under 13 has created an account or provided personal information, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us using the information in Section 10.

Information you provide directly

When you create an account, we collect:

• Name and/or username
• Email address
• Password (stored in encrypted/hashed form)
• Profile information you choose to add (e.g., avatar, display preferences)

Information generated through use

As you use the App, we collect and store:

• Spelling scores, quiz results, and performance history
• Progress data (levels completed, words practiced, streaks, achievements)
• In-app settings and preferences
• Gameplay activity (session duration, features used)

Automatically collected information (analytics)

We use third-party analytics services to understand how the App is used and to improve it. This may include:

• Device information (device type, operating system, unique device identifiers)
• App usage data (screens viewed, features used, session length, crash reports)
• General location information (derived from IP address, typically city/region level)

We do not display third-party advertisements in Spell Buzz, and analytics data is used solely to understand and improve app performance and user experience — not for ad targeting.

Information we do not collect

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as financial account details, government ID numbers, precise GPS location, or health information.

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Save and display your scores, progress, and achievements across sessions and devices
• Operate, maintain, and improve the App's features and performance
• Diagnose technical issues and fix bugs (via crash and analytics data)
• Communicate with you about your account, updates, or support requests
• Enforce our Terms of Service and protect against fraud or misuse
• Comply with legal obligations

Spell Buzz uses third-party analytics providers (such as tools that measure app usage, engagement, and stability) to help us understand how users interact with the App. These providers may collect information as described in Section 3.3 and process it according to their own privacy policies. We select analytics partners that do not use App data for cross-app advertising purposes.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

• Account and progress data is stored on secure servers (or secure cloud infrastructure) with industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit and at rest where applicable.
• Passwords are stored using secure hashing methods and are never stored in plain text.
• We retain your account and progress data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention).
• While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

Account deletion

You may delete your account at any time from within the App's account settings, or by contacting us directly. Deleting your account will remove your saved scores and progress from our systems.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate the App (e.g., hosting providers, analytics services), under confidentiality obligations
• If required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Spell Buzz, our users, or others
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to affected users where required

If you use Spell Buzz from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a different country. By using the App, you consent to this transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards where required by law.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify users of material changes through the App or by other reasonable means, and will update the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
