Last updated: December 2025

1. Who We Are

Paragon Spelling is an educational spelling game designed to help learners practise and master spelling in multiple languages in a safe and engaging environment.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at:
Email: pspelling@tips-org.com

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the app, we may collect:

• Account information: such as a nickname, email address (if you create an account), and preferred language.
• Gameplay data: scores, achievements, game mode usage, and word progress to help us track your learning and improve the experience.
• Device information: device model, operating system, app version, and general technical data used for analytics and troubleshooting.
• Purchase information: information related to in-app purchases (e.g. premium upgrades), processed securely via Google Play or the App Store.
• Approximate location: only where necessary for analytics or localisation, and never for precise tracking.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and operate the app and its core features.
• Save your progress, scores, achievements, and learning history.
• Improve the app’s performance, content, and user experience.
• Show non-personalised advertisements (for users on the free version).
• Handle premium purchases and restore purchases where supported.
• Protect against misuse, fraud, or technical issues.

4. Legal Bases (for EEA/UK Users)

Where applicable, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract: to provide the app and its features to you.
• Legitimate interests: to improve the app, keep it secure, and understand general usage.
• Consent: for certain optional features such as personalised communications or cookies (where applicable).

5. Children’s Privacy

Paragon Spelling is designed for learners and may be used by children under adult supervision. We aim to minimise personal data collection and focus mainly on gameplay data. Where required by law, certain features may be limited for younger users.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data without your consent, please contact us so we can review and delete the information if needed.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services, such as:

• App stores: Google Play / App Store for distribution and purchases.
• Analytics tools: to understand general usage and improve the app.
• Advertising partners: to display ads in the free version of the app.
• Cloud or backend providers: to store user progress, leaderboards, and content.

These providers may process limited data on our behalf according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

7. Data Retention

We keep your information only for as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove or anonymise your personal data, except where we are required to keep certain records (for example, for tax or accounting purposes).

8. Your Rights

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

• Access the information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your data (see also the Account Deletion Policy).
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at pspelling@tips-org.com.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Transfers

Our servers or third-party providers may be located in other countries. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection in line with applicable laws.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or applicable laws. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
