We built SpellJam for kids and families. Protecting your child's privacy is not an afterthought — it's built into everything we do.
This Privacy Policy explains how Brand Finesse ("we", "us", or "our"), the maker of SpellJam, handles information when you use our iOS app and website at spell-jam.com.
By using SpellJam, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you are a parent or guardian setting up SpellJam for a child under 13, please read this policy carefully.
We keep data collection to the absolute minimum needed to provide the service.
Information you provide:
Information collected automatically:
We do not collect location data, contacts, photos (except when you use the optional camera word-capture feature, which is processed on-device), or any sensitive personal information.
We use the information we collect solely to:
We do not use children's data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the service.
SpellJam is designed to be used by children, and we take this responsibility seriously.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us at hello@spell-jam.com and we will promptly delete it.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
We work with a small number of trusted service providers who help us run the app:
These providers are contractually required to use your data only to provide their services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
Spelling progress and word lists are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. If you have an account, data is also backed up to Firebase's secure cloud infrastructure.
We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for all data transmitted between the app and our servers. Firebase data is stored in secure Google Cloud data centres.
While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. If you have concerns about your data security, please contact us.
SpellJam includes optional features that use your device's microphone and camera:
These features require permission prompts and can be disabled in your device Settings at any time.
You have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@spell-jam.com. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are in the European Union or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

For users in the EU/EEA, we comply with GDPR. For users in the UK, we comply with the UK GDPR. For users in California, we comply with CCPA.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of SpellJam after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
