Privacy Policy

Effective April 22, 2026

Our commitment to privacy

We built I Can Tell Time with privacy-first defaults. This policy explains what data we do and don't collect. The short version: we don't collect any.

The app collects nothing

The I Can Tell Time app does not collect, store, or transmit personal information. Zero. That includes:

  • No names, emails, or contact info
  • No location data or device identifiers
  • No behavioral analytics or ad tracking
  • No information about children or families

COPPA compliance

I Can Tell Time is directed to children approximately ages 4–8 and is subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506, and the FTC's implementing regulations at 16 C.F.R. Part 312.

The I Can Tell Time application does not collect, use, or disclose any personal information from children as defined in 16 C.F.R. § 312.2. Because no personal information is collected from children, verifiable parental consent under 16 C.F.R. § 312.5 is not required for use of the application. This is a design decision, not a policy we might change quietly—if it ever changes, we will update this policy, notify users, and implement a compliant parental-consent mechanism before any collection begins.

  • No ad targeting, behavioral profiling, or third-party advertising SDKs in the app
  • No social features, chat, messaging, or user-generated content
  • No account creation, sign-in, or persistent identifiers tied to a child
  • No location data, contact lists, camera, or microphone access
  • All learner progress is stored locally on the device and is never transmitted

Website analytics and contact forms

This marketing website (icantelltime.com) is directed to parents, educators, and school administrators—not to children. The website uses the following service providers. None of them receive information about any child, and none operate inside the app.

  • DatafastPrivacy-focused, aggregate website analytics (page views, referrer, country). No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles. Processed in the European Union.
  • ResendTransactional email delivery for the educator and school contact forms. Receives only the name, email address, and message content that an adult voluntarily submits. Processed in the United States.
  • AppleApp Store distribution and, for school customers, Apple School Manager deployment. No child personal information is shared with Apple by us.

A canonical, versioned list of subprocessors (including those used for school customers) is maintained on our School Data Practices page.

Fully offline

I Can Tell Time works completely offline. Lessons, quizzes, progress tracking—everything. No data leaves the device. Ever.

Parental rights, retention, and deletion

Parents and guardians may contact us at any time to (a) ask what, if any, information we hold, (b) request correction or deletion, or (c) decline any further contact. Because the app does not collect personal information from children, in almost every case there is nothing on our systems to retrieve or delete.

  • Learner progress: stored on the device only. Uninstalling the app deletes it. We hold no copy.
  • Contact-form submissions: retained only for the duration of the conversation and deleted within 45 days of a written deletion request.
  • Diagnostic or support email threads: retained no longer than 24 months.

For schools and districts

School and district deployments are governed by a separate set of documents designed around FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g), COPPA, and state student-data-privacy laws including California SOPIPA, Illinois SOPPA, New York Ed Law § 2-d, and Connecticut Public Act 16-189. We also accept the SDPC National DPA v1r8 with state Exhibit E.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change how we handle information—especially anything affecting children—we will update this page, change the effective date at the top, and give reasonable advance notice before the change takes effect. For school customers, we will additionally update the Schedule of Data at least thirty (30) days before any material change.
