Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 September 2026
The short version. We do not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data. Times Table Star has no accounts, no adverts, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Everything your child creates stays on your device and in your own iCloud. The only time information ever leaves the device is if a parent deliberately switches on the optional AI companion, which is explained in full below.
Who we are
Times Table Star is made by Primituz. If you have any question about this policy, email angweeseng@hotmail.com.
What the app stores on your device
To make the game work, the app saves the following locally:
- The player name your child types in, which can be a nickname or anything they like
- Scores, level progress, streaks, stars and stickers
- Your pets: their species, chosen names, stats and intelligence
- Which multiplication facts your child finds tricky, so the game can practise them more often
- Settings such as the chosen theme, sound preference and voice
None of this is sent to us. We operate no servers and have no way to see any of it.
iCloud backup
So that progress is not lost if a device is replaced, the app copies the information above into your own private iCloud storage, using Apple's key-value service. This is your iCloud account, not ours, and we cannot access it. If you would rather not use it, you can turn iCloud off for Times Table Star in your device settings.
The optional AI companion
The app includes an optional feature that lets a grown-up pet hold a spoken conversation with your child. It is switched off by default and is protected by a parental gate.
It only works if a parent chooses an AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter), creates an account with that provider directly, and enters their own API key into the app. When it is switched on:
- What your child says or types in the chat is sent to the provider the parent chose, using the parent's own account and key
- The request also includes the player name your child entered and a short note of things the pet has remembered from earlier chats, so the pet can be personal and consistent
- The request never includes your location, contacts, device identifiers, or any information the app has not been given by your child in play
- Those messages are handled under the AI provider's own privacy policy, which we recommend you read before switching the feature on
- We receive none of it, because there is no server of ours involved
Conversations are stored only on the device that they happened on. They are never included in the iCloud backup, so a chat cannot follow your child onto another device. The pet's short memory note does back up with the pet, into your own private iCloud, so the pet still knows your child on a new iPhone or iPad. A parent can view the conversations, erase them, or switch the whole feature off at any time from Settings, AI Brain. The API key is stored only on that device and is deliberately excluded from iCloud backup.
Microphone and speech recognition
The app asks for microphone and speech recognition permission only if the AI companion has been switched on by a parent and your child chooses to speak rather than type. Speech is converted to text by Apple's own service on the device. We never record, store or transmit audio.
Notifications
A parent can switch on a single daily reminder from the pet. It is off unless enabled, it is scheduled locally by your device, and nothing is sent to or from any server to deliver it.
Children's privacy
This app is designed for children and treats their privacy as the default, not an option. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age. There is no sign-up, no profile, no messaging with other people, no social features, no adverts and no analytics.
The only feature that sends anything off the device requires a parent to set it up deliberately with their own paid AI account, and can be reviewed and switched off by that parent at any time.
What we never do
- We do not collect or store personal data on any server
- We do not use advertising, advertising identifiers or ad networks
- We do not use analytics or crash reporting services
- We do not track your child across apps or websites
- We do not sell or share data with anyone
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes will also be described in the app's release notes.
