Privacy policy

Section 1

What the app collects about you

Nothing. Reward Study has no sign up, no email field and no user profile. It does not ask for your name, your address, your phone number or your child's date of birth. The ages you choose for a child are age bands used to sort task templates, and they stay on your devices.

There is no analytics framework, no crash reporting service, no advertising identifier and no third-party software development kit of any kind inside the app.

Section 2

Where your household data lives

Children, tasks, rewards, credit balances and every ledger entry are stored on your device and, if you have iCloud switched on, in your own private iCloud database. That is Apple's storage, tied to your Apple Account, and it is what lets a second device in the family see the same household. We have no access to it and no copy of it.

Turn iCloud off and the household simply stays on the one device. Your parent PIN is different again: it is kept only on the device where you set it and is never put in iCloud, which is why you set one on each device you use.

Section 3

Word problems and Apple Intelligence

Maths word problems are generated on the device by Apple Intelligence on hardware that supports it. The app sends no prompt, no answer and no child's name to us or to any other company. Generated problems are held with the rest of your household data, and a parent reads each one before a child sees it.

Section 4

Purchases

The Reward Study Pro subscription and the Second Household and Reward Ideas add ons are bought through the App Store. Apple handles the payment and tells the app whether a subscription or purchase is active. We never see your card, your billing address or your Apple Account. Apple's own privacy policy covers that part of the transaction.

From version 1.3 the app asks reward.study, at most once a day, for a small public file that lists the current discount codes, so that it can show them to someone who is cancelling. Nothing is sent with that request: no identifier and nothing about you or your device. The only trace it leaves is our web host's ordinary server log, described in section 5.

Section 5

This website

This policy is about the app. The website is a separate thing with separate terms, because it counts visits and the app does not.

Nothing described above changes because of the website. The app sends no analytics, sets no identifier and reports nothing about your family to anyone.

How this website handles data covers the site on its own: what is logged, what is counted, and how to refuse it.

Section 6

Children

A child does not have an account either. A child's name in the app is whatever the parent types, it never leaves the family's own storage, and there is no messaging, no chat, no user generated content shared with anyone outside the household and no way for a stranger to reach a child through the app.

Because the app collects nothing and shows no ads, there is no profiling of children and no advertising to them.

Section 7

What you can do with your data

• Export the whole ledger as a CSV file, behind the parent lock.
• Delete a household inside the app, which removes it from iCloud as well.
• Delete the app to remove everything held on that device.
• Manage the iCloud copy yourself in your Apple Account settings, since it is your storage.

We cannot delete your data for you, because we never hold it. There is nothing on our side to request, correct or erase.

Section 8

Changes, and how to reach us

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and a change that affects what the app collects will be described in the App Store release notes.
