PrintableSpark Privacy Policy

PrintableSpark is free and requires no account to use. Every worksheet, printable, game, and the learning map works anonymously. You never have to sign up, log in, or give us any personal information to print a worksheet or play a game.

When you use PrintableSpark without an account, your progress (such as game best scores and learning map milestones) is stored locally in your browser only, using your browser’s localStorage. Nothing about that progress is sent to a server. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, that local progress does not follow you. That is the trade-off of staying anonymous, and it is completely fine to use the site this way forever.

We offer an optional account whose only purpose is to sync progress across devices for the same person. An account is for an adult — a parent or teacher — who signs up with their own email address and agrees to this policy. Adults choose whether to create an account; it is never required to use the site.

Children do not create accounts and provide no personal information. Under an adult’s account, an adult can set up child “profiles” so the right progress shows up on the right device. A child profile is a display name and an emoji avatar only. We do not ask for or collect a child’s email, birthdate, photos, real name, location, or any other personal information. The display name can be a nickname, a first name, or anything the adult chooses; we do not require a real name.

PrintableSpark is designed to align with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Children do not create accounts; only an adult can create the optional account, using their own email and consent. The child profiles an adult sets up hold only a display name and an emoji — no personal information. Because anonymous use stores nothing on our servers and child profiles contain no personal information, there is no child personal data for us to collect, share, or sell. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us at the address below and we will delete it.

• No advertising and no third-party advertising trackers.
• No public sharing of profiles or progress.
• No public leaderboards.
• No chat, messaging, or contact between users.
• No selling or renting of any information to anyone.

If an adult chooses to create an account, the account data — the adult’s email address used for login, plus the child profiles and progress they create — is stored using Supabase, a database and authentication provider, solely to provide the cross-device sync feature. We do not use that data for advertising, and we do not share it for advertising. People who never create an account never have any data stored on a server by PrintableSpark.

When you are signed in, you can remove an individual child profile from your account settings, which permanently deletes that profile and all of its progress. To delete your entire account and all associated data — your login email and every profile and progress record tied to it — contact us at the privacy email below; we honor deletion requests, and the removal cascades so nothing connected to the account is left behind. Clearing your browser’s data separately removes any anonymous, local-only progress stored on that device.

If we change how PrintableSpark handles information, we will update this page and change the “Last updated” date at the top. You can always return here to read the current version, or head back to the homepage to keep learning.
