Privacy that matches a family learning product, not a black box.

Wonderscope is a web-based learning product with guides, quizzes, learner profiles, progress tracking, family account management, and future paid access. This policy applies when you browse the site, create an account, manage learner profiles, take quizzes, use account or admin tools, or contact us for help.

In this policy, “Wonderscope,” “we,” and “us” mean the operator of the Wonderscope service at the time you use it.

Depending on how you use Wonderscope, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Account information, such as your email address, display name, authentication provider, and sign-in or password-reset events.
• Learner profile information, such as a learner name or nickname, age band, learning goal, avatar choice, and accent or preference settings.
• Learning activity, such as guide views, completion markers, quiz attempts, answers, scores, achievements, streaks, XP, competency progress, and daily challenge activity.
• Account and billing information, such as plan selection, complimentary access flags, learner limits, billing email or phone, provider customer IDs, checkout sessions, subscription status, entitlement records, and billing event logs when billing is enabled.
• Technical and service information, such as browser, device, request metadata, security logs, and session information that our infrastructure and authentication providers need to keep the service running.
• Messages you send us, including support requests, feedback, or questions you email or send through support channels.

Wonderscope uses authentication cookies and session-related data so signed-in users can stay logged in and move between pages securely. The current sign-in system also uses verification emails and password reset codes when email-password sign-in is used.

For guests or before an account is fully linked, Wonderscope may store learner preferences and progress in local browser storage. If you later sign in, that local progress may be imported into your account-linked learner profile.

Some media or reference links may still load from third-party hosts such as Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, or other image hosts. When that happens, your browser may make direct requests to those hosts in the normal course of loading the page.

• To create and manage accounts, learner profiles, memberships, and access rights.
• To authenticate users, send verification codes or password reset emails, and prevent abuse.
• To save progress, streaks, quiz results, achievements, competencies, and recommendations.
• To operate the public beta, understand what content is being used, and measure upgrade intent or feature demand.
• To troubleshoot bugs, secure the service, enforce limits, and maintain platform integrity.
• To process purchases, grants, refunds, or entitlement changes when billing is turned on.
• To communicate with account holders about the service, support, policy changes, or operational issues.

For users in places where privacy law requires a legal basis, our bases generally include performance of a contract, legitimate interests in operating and improving the service, consent where required, and compliance with legal obligations.

Wonderscope is designed for child-friendly learning, but the main account should be created and managed by a parent, guardian, teacher, or other authorized adult unless local law clearly allows the learner to do so on their own.

• Use first names or nicknames for learner profiles rather than full legal names.
• Do not add unnecessary personal details to learner profiles or support messages.
• Purchases, billing changes, and account-management decisions should be handled by an adult account holder.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child gave us personal information in a way that requires your consent and we do not have it, contact us. We will review the situation and delete or limit the information as appropriate.

Parents and guardians may request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of learner profile data that sits under their account, subject to reasonable verification and any legal retention requirements.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate Wonderscope, including providers for hosting, database and authentication services, email delivery, and payment processing.

• Infrastructure and app-delivery providers, such as Convex and Vercel.
• Authentication and email providers, such as Google, GitHub, and Resend, depending on how you sign in.
• Payment processors, such as Polar or Cashfree, when paid access or checkout is enabled.
• Professional advisers, law enforcement, regulators, or courts when disclosure is required or reasonably necessary.
• A successor buyer or restructuring partner if the service is sold, reorganized, or transferred.

Wonderscope does not sell personal information and does not use cross-context behavioral advertising inside the product today.

We keep account and learner data for as long as the account remains active, the service relationship continues, or records are reasonably needed for security, fraud prevention, billing, disputes, or legal compliance. We may delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can promise perfect security. Please keep passwords private and use an adult-managed inbox for family accounts.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict certain personal data, to object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent where consent is the basis. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Wonderscope may be operated using providers in more than one country, so information may be processed outside the place where you live. When that happens, we try to use appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Wonderscope evolves. If a change materially affects how personal information is used, we will post the updated version here and may provide additional notice in the product or by email when appropriate.

Questions, privacy requests, or parent-rights requests can be sent to hello@wonderscope.app.

If you contact us about a learner profile, include enough information for us to locate the correct account without sending more child personal data than necessary.
