In short

- There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- Stars, stickers and settings are kept on your own device.
- The one purchase is handled by Google Play or Apple. We never see your payment details.
This policy explains how Fun Spanish Flashcards (the "app"), made by Handtechnics ("we", "us"), handles information. The app teaches Spanish to children with picture flashcards. This policy applies to the app on Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, and to this web page.
Who we are
Handtechnics is a small independent developer of learning apps and games. You can reach us at [email protected] about anything in this policy.
Information we collect
None. The app has no sign-up or login, and it never asks for a name, email address, photo, location, contacts or any other personal details. It contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking tools, and it doesn't send what a child does in the app to us or to anyone else. It doesn't use the camera, the microphone or location, and it has no chat and no way to talk to other people.
Progress and settings
The words a child has learned, stars, stickers, the chosen language and other settings are saved only on the device. We can't see them. They may be included in the device's own backups, such as an Android backup to your Google Account (managed by Google under Google's privacy policy) or an iCloud or computer backup (managed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy). If you used an earlier Android version of the app, the new version reads the purchase and settings that version saved on the same device, and nothing leaves the device.
Voices
The Spanish words and the words in the app's other languages are recorded and come with the app, so they play without an internet connection. If a word has no recording, the app may ask the device's own text-to-speech voice to say it. That happens on the device under the device maker's settings; the app sends nothing to us.
The purchase
Three packs can be played without buying anything. One purchase unlocks all 54 packs; there's no subscription. The purchase is made through Google Play or the App Store, and Google or Apple processes the payment. We don't receive your name, Google Account, Apple ID or payment details. The app only asks Google Play or the App Store, on the device, whether the unlock has been bought, so it can open the packs; it doesn't send your purchases anywhere. Parents can require their approval for every purchase in Google Play's or Apple's family settings, such as Family Link or Ask to Buy.
Ratings and links
After a few finished packs, the app may show Google Play's or Apple's standard prompt to rate it, at most once per version; the prompt and any rating are handled by Google or Apple. The app's menu has a link to this policy, which opens in the device's browser, and, after a purchase, a link to the app's own store page. There are no links to other apps, websites or social media.
Children's privacy
The app is made for children aged 12 and under, and we designed it so that it collects no personal information at all, in line with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, the GDPR's rules for children in the European Union and the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code. Because nothing is collected, there is no personal information to review, change or delete. If you're a parent or guardian and have any question, please write to us.
Keeping and deleting data
Because a child's progress never leaves the device (except in your own backups), we hold nothing to delete. Deleting the app, or clearing its data in the device's settings, removes it from the device. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to reply, and we delete them on request.
Security
The app collects no personal information and has no server of its own, so nothing of yours is held by us that could be exposed. Purchases use Google's and Apple's own secure payment systems.
If you email us
If you contact us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to read and reply to your message. We don't add you to a mailing list and don't share your message with anyone.
This web page
This page doesn't use cookies, analytics or tracking. Like any website, our web host may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages visited, for security and to keep the site running.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes how it handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
