Privacy Policy — Hoot Math Facts

Effective date: November 12, 2026 Last updated: November 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Hoot Math Facts app ("the App," "we," "us") handles information. The short version is simple: the App collects no data at all. This page exists so parents can verify that in plain language.

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at: vmg.registrations@outlook.com

1. We Collect No Personal Information

The App does not collect, request, or have access to any personal information about you or your child, including:

• Names, email addresses, or account credentials — the App has no accounts and no sign-in
• Location data
• Photos, contacts, microphone, or camera data
• Identifiers for advertising, or any device identifiers used for tracking
• Usage analytics, behavior tracking, or crash reporting sent to us or to anyone else

There is no registration, no profile creation with us, and no server for data to be sent to. The App contains no analytics tools, no advertising, and no third-party software development kits (SDKs) of any kind.

App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.

2. Data Stored Only On Your Device

To work as a learning app, the App stores the following only on your device, in the App's private storage:

• Local child profiles you create in the App (up to 4) — a name or nickname you type, and that child's learning progress
• Practice progress: which math facts have been practiced and mastered, response times, session history, stars, and stickers earned
• Settings you choose, such as the fluency goal and sound preferences

This on-device data:

• Never leaves your device — the App needs no network connection and works fully offline
• Is never sold, shared, rented, or transmitted to us or to any third party
• Is not linked to your identity by us, because we never receive it

We cannot view, recover, or back up this data. If it is deleted, it is gone — please keep your own device backups (for example, iCloud device backup, if you have enabled it in iOS settings) if that matters to your family. Whether a device backup includes the App's data is controlled by your iOS settings and by Apple, not by us.

3. How To Delete Your Data

Because all data lives only on your device, you are in full control:

• Delete one child's data: In the App, open the parent area (tap "For grown-ups" on the home screen and complete the parental gate), open Settings for the child's profile, and use the reset option (confirmed twice). That child's progress, history, and stickers are permanently deleted from the device.
• Delete everything: Delete the App from your device. iOS removes the App and all of its locally stored data. Reinstalling the App starts completely fresh — there is nothing on any server to restore or to delete.

You never need to contact us to delete data, because we hold none of it.

4. Purchases And Family Sharing Are Handled By Apple

The App is sold for a one-time price through the Apple App Store. We do not process payments and we do not receive or store your payment information, Apple ID, or purchase details.

• Payment, refunds, and purchase history are handled entirely by Apple under Apple's terms and privacy policy.
• Family Sharing: if you enable Family Sharing for the App, Apple manages which family members can download it. Each device keeps its own local profiles and progress — enabling Family Sharing does not send your child's data to us or, through the App, to other family members' devices.

5. Children And COPPA

The App is designed for children ages 6–8 and their parents, and it is listed in the App Store Kids Category.

• The App is child-directed and built for use by children under adult supervision.
• Consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): because the App collects no personal information from anyone — including children — there is no children's data to use, disclose, or retain. No parental consent for data collection is needed, because no data collection occurs.
• The App contains no advertising, no in-app purchases, no chat or messaging, no social features, and no ability for a child to share information with anyone through the App.
• Links to this Privacy Policy and to support are located only inside the parent area, which is protected by an arithmetic parental gate intended for grown-ups (a simple addition check).

If you are a parent or guardian and you have any concern about your child's privacy in connection with the App, contact us at vmg.registrations@outlook.com and we will respond promptly. There is no child data in our possession to review or delete — but we will always explain exactly how the App works on your device.

6. No Third Parties

The App includes:

• No advertising networks
• No analytics providers
• No social media integrations
• No third-party SDKs

Accordingly, we share no information with third parties — we have no information to share.

7. Security

The App's learning data is stored in the App's sandboxed storage on your device, protected by iOS itself. Because no data is transmitted, there is no transmission to secure and no server that could be breached. Protecting the device itself (passcode, Face ID / Touch ID, and keeping iOS updated) protects the App's local data.

8. Changes To This Policy

If a future version of the App ever changed how data is handled, we would update this policy first, change the effective date above, and update the App Store privacy disclosures to match — before or with that release. The current version of the App collects nothing, and any change to that would be stated plainly on this page and in the App Store listing.

We recommend checking this page occasionally if you update the App. The version history of this policy is simply this: the App has collected no data since its first release.
