MathCat Privacy Notice

Last updated: 14 April 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how MathCat collects, uses, stores, and protects information when parents and children use our website.

1. Who this notice applies to

This notice applies to parents or legal guardians who create accounts on MathCat and to child profiles created under those accounts.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to provide the service. This may include:

Parent account information, such as email address and login details.

Child profile information, such as alias, grade, and school.

Learning data, such as practice questions answered, scores, accuracy, time spent, topic progress, difficulty level, and progress reports.

Technical data, such as device type, browser information, and basic usage logs needed to run and secure the site.

We do not ask for a child’s real full name unless it is necessary for a specific feature.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

Create and manage parent accounts.

Create and manage child profiles.

Save scores and learning progress.

Generate progress reports for parents.

Personalise question difficulty and learning recommendations.

Operate, secure, and improve the website.

Send service-related emails, such as account notices and progress reports.

Send optional updates if a parent chooses to receive them.

4. Progress reports

Progress reports are part of the service. We may send reports to the parent’s email address showing the child’s learning progress, including topic-level performance, accuracy, and suggested areas for practice.

5. Legal basis and consent

Where required by law, we rely on the parent or guardian’s consent and/or other lawful bases to process information for the educational service. By creating an account and using the service, the parent confirms they are authorised to manage the child profile and receive service-related communications.

6. Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only with trusted service providers that help us operate the website, such as hosting, authentication, database, and email providers. These providers may process data only for our instructions and for no other purpose.

7. Storage and security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no online system is completely secure.

8. Data retention

We keep account and learning data for as long as needed to provide the service, unless a parent asks us to delete it or a longer period is required by law.

9. Parent rights

Parents or guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their account information and child profile data, subject to legal and operational limits.

10. Children’s privacy

MathCat is designed for children under parent supervision. Parents should only create child profiles for their own children or children they are authorised to represent.

11. Optional email updates

If you choose to receive product updates, tips, or promotions, we will use your contact details for that purpose. You may unsubscribe at any time.

12. Changes to this notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. If changes are significant, we will provide reasonable notice.
