Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to information collected through the Sumzilla website, games, app landing pages, parent and teacher account experiences, classroom reset tools, support forms, and related services.

Sumzilla is intended to be used with adult involvement. Parents, teachers, and schools may create and manage access on behalf of children. Where children use the service, we expect adults to supervise setup, account management, and any information entered into the service.

2. Information we collect

Adult account and contact information

• Contact details used to authenticate adults, such as an email address.
• Account role or relationship to the service, such as parent or teacher.
• Information adults provide in support requests, feedback forms, or account-related communications.

Child profile and gameplay information

• Student profile identifiers created or approved by an adult, such as a nickname, username, class-facing display name, or progress profile.
• Learning activity, including completed games, mastery or progress records, rewards, settings, and related in-app state.
• Information adults or schools choose to associate with a child profile while using the service.

Technical and usage information

• Browser, device, and app information needed to run and secure the service.
• Network or session details such as IP address, user agent, login attempts, and security logs.
• Local device storage used to remember gameplay state, preferences, and session-related information.

3. How we use information

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve Sumzilla.
• Authenticate adult users, protect accounts, and prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse.
• Save progress, personalize educational experiences, and restore child gameplay state across sessions where supported.
• Communicate about service updates, account issues, passwordless login, or support requests.
• Monitor service reliability, debug problems, and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

4. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers. We may use vendors to host the service, manage authentication, deliver transactional email, or support infrastructure and security.
• Schools or supervising adults. Information associated with a child profile may be visible to the parent, teacher, school, or other adult who manages that profile or account relationship.
• Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with the law, enforce our rights, or protect users, children, schools, or the public.
• Business changes. If Sumzilla is reorganized, sold, merged, or transferred, relevant information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to applicable law.

5. Children's privacy and school use

We want Sumzilla to minimize the amount of personal information associated with children. Adults should avoid entering a child's full legal name, personal email address, phone number, home address, or other unnecessary identifiers unless the service later clearly requests and justifies that information.

Our goal is that children use the service through adult-managed profiles or supervised school use, rather than independently creating adult-style accounts. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact us using the contact method published on the website so we can review the issue.

6. Cookies and local storage

Sumzilla uses cookies, browser storage, and similar technologies to keep sessions running, remember preferences, support sign-in, and preserve progress where available. Clearing cookies or local storage may sign users out, reset settings, or remove locally stored game progress.

At the time of writing, we do not intend to rely on third-party advertising cookies to operate the service.

7. Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate Sumzilla, maintain security, support schools and families, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the account model in use, and whether the information is stored locally on a device or on our systems.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no service can promise absolute security, and you should use appropriate care when sharing information online.

9. International processing

Sumzilla is operated from Australia, but information may be stored or processed in other countries where our service providers operate, including the United States. Where required, we will take reasonable steps to ensure information is handled in a manner consistent with applicable privacy law.

10. Your choices and requests

Depending on the type of account and the laws that apply, parents, teachers, and other adult users may be able to request access, correction, deletion, or export of certain information associated with adult accounts or child profiles. Requests can be submitted using the contact method we publish on the website.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the date above, post a notice on the site, or use another appropriate method to communicate the change.

12. Contact

If you have privacy questions, requests, or concerns, please contact We Make at wemakeadl@gmail.com. If your request relates to a child profile, please include enough detail for us to identify the relevant account, parent, teacher, or school relationship.
