Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
LearnThenPlay is an app for parents. It lets you set a screen time timer for your child and lets your child earn more time by answering quiz questions. This policy explains what information the app and this website collect, why, where it is kept, and how you can delete it.
LearnThenPlay is provided by To confirm: legal name of the company or developer ("we", "us").
The short version
- We collect a parent's email address to create the parent account.
- For each child, we store a nickname, an avatar picked from our built-in set, a grade range, and learning progress.
- Children never create an account, and we do not ask for a child's real name, birthday, photo, or contact details.
- There are no ads and no tracking in the app or on this website.
- We do not sell personal information.
- You can delete your account and all its data from inside the app at any time.
Information we collect
Parent account
- Email address. Used to create and sign in to your parent account and to restore your data on a new device.
- Sign in with Apple. If you choose it, Apple gives us an account identifier and an email address. Apple lets you hide your real address, in which case we receive a private relay address instead.
- Password. If you sign up with email and a password, the password is handled by our account provider and stored in a protected (hashed) form. We cannot read it.
Child profiles
A parent creates each child profile. For each child we store:
- A nickname. We suggest a first name or nickname, not a full name.
- An avatar chosen from pictures built into the app. It is not a photo.
- A grade range and the school subjects you turn on.
- Learning progress: stars earned, which questions were answered, whether each answer was right or wrong, and when.
- How many bonus rounds were used today.
App settings
Your choices, such as the timer length, the number of quiz questions, and the bonus minutes.
Parent PIN
Your parent PIN and recovery code are stored only on your device, in protected form, in Apple's secure storage. They are not sent to us.
Screen Time
The app uses Apple's Screen Time controls to pause other apps when time runs out. We do not see, collect, or store which apps or websites your child uses. That information stays with Apple on the device.
Purchases
If you buy a subscription, the payment is handled by Apple. We never receive your card details. We receive only what is needed to know whether your subscription is active. To confirm: if subscriptions are enabled at launch, name the subscription service provider (RevenueCat) here.
Messages you send us
If you email us for help, we keep your email address and message so we can reply.
What we do not collect
- Location
- Contacts, photos, camera, or microphone
- Advertising identifiers
- Browsing history or the names of apps your child uses
- Analytics that follow you across other apps or websites
How we use information
- To run the app: show the right questions, avoid repeats, count stars, and apply your rules.
- To keep your data safe when you reinstall the app or change devices.
- To show you your child's progress report.
- To answer support requests.
- To keep the service secure and working.
We do not use your information, or your child's, for advertising, and we do not build profiles for marketing.
Where information is stored
Account and profile information is stored with Supabase, a cloud database provider, on servers located in To confirm: Supabase project region. A copy is also kept on your device so the app works without a connection.
Who we share information with
We share information only with companies that help us run LearnThenPlay, and only as needed for that work:
- Supabase: stores account and profile data and handles sign in.
- Apple: provides Sign in with Apple, Screen Time controls, and App Store purchases.
- Cloudflare: hosts this website and forwards email sent to our support address.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of a child or another person. We do not sell or rent personal information.
Children's privacy
LearnThenPlay is set up and managed by a parent or guardian. Children do not create accounts and are not asked to give us personal information. The limited information about a child (nickname, avatar, grade range, and learning progress) is entered or generated under a parent's account and is used only to run the app.
As a parent, you can review, change, or delete your child's information at any time in the app's parent area, or by contacting us. If you believe a child has given us personal information without a parent's permission, please contact us and we will delete it.
To confirm with a lawyer: wording and consent steps required by COPPA (United States) and by GDPR and similar laws for children's data.
Keeping and deleting information
- Delete your account. In the app, open the parent area, go to Parent Account, and choose Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and every child profile from our servers. To confirm: how long deleted data may remain in backups.
- Remove one child. Removing a child profile in the app deletes that child's nickname, stars, and question history.
- Erase the device. Reset Everything in the app erases all LearnThenPlay data stored on that device.
- We keep information only while your account exists, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
Security
Information is sent over encrypted connections. Each parent account can only reach its own data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will tell you if a breach affects you, as the law requires.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct, export, or delete your information, or to object to how it is used. You can do most of this in the app. For anything else, email us and we will help. You will not be treated differently for using these rights.
This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics, or advertising. Like any website, our host (Cloudflare) processes basic technical information such as your IP address in order to deliver pages and protect against abuse.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
