Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Number & Words ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy applies to our website at numberandwords.xyz and our iOS application.

1. Who we are

Number & Words is developed by Asha Information Tech Pty Ltd and owned by PatrolX Technologies Pty Ltd and Anuj Agarwal, Sonal Daga, Vivek Bothra. We provide AI-generated practice questions and test simulations for Australian students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9.

For any privacy enquiries, contact us at speak2vb@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following personal information:

  • Account information — email address and hashed password, used for authentication and account management.
  • Usage data — questions answered, scores, session times, year level and subject selections, used for progress tracking and personalised practice.
  • Purchase data — subscription status and transaction identifiers, used for subscription management. Card details are processed by Stripe or Apple — we never store them.

3. How we use your information

  • To provide the practice platform and track student progress.
  • To process and manage subscriptions.
  • To send transactional emails (sign-in, password reset, receipts).
  • To improve question quality and platform features.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Third-party services

We use the following services to operate Number & Words:

  • Supabase — database and authentication, hosted in Sydney, Australia (ap-southeast-2).
  • Stripe — payment processing for web subscriptions. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • Apple — in-app purchase processing for iOS subscriptions. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
  • Vercel — website hosting.
  • Resend — transactional email delivery.

5. Tracking and advertising

Number & Words does not track you across other apps or websites. We do not use advertising identifiers (IDFA), fingerprinting, or any cross-app tracking technologies. We do not use analytics SDKs in our iOS app. We do not display advertisements.

6. Children's privacy

Our service is designed for students aged 8–15. All accounts must be created by a parent or guardian aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without parental consent.

Parents and guardians may at any time:

  • Review the personal information we hold about their child.
  • Request correction or deletion of their child's data.
  • Withdraw consent for further data collection.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately.

7. Data storage and security

Your data is stored on Supabase servers in Sydney, Australia and processed using Vercel infrastructure. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. We implement row-level security policies so users can only access their own data.

8. Data retention and deletion

We retain your account and practice data for the duration of your subscription plus 12 months. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by:

  • Using the "Delete Account" option in the app's Settings screen.
  • Emailing speak2vb@gmail.com.

We will delete your personal data within 30 days of receiving your request. Some anonymised, aggregated data (e.g. question difficulty statistics) may be retained.

9. Your rights

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to:

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
