Privacy policy for Homework Quiz
Homework Quiz is also called Hausaufgaben-Quiz, Quiz des devoirs, Quiz de deberes and, in Sweden, Läxförhör (formerly Glosförhör). This policy applies to the app in every language.
Summary
Homework Quiz collects as little as possible. There are no accounts, no ads, no tracking and no analysis of how your child uses the app.
- The words stay on the phone. Lists and progress are saved only in the app on the device.
- Photos never leave the phone. A photo of a word list is read on the device and is not saved.
- Purchases are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your name, email or card details. Purchase status is handled by our supplier RevenueCat using an anonymous ID.
- No statistics. Google's text recognition (ML Kit) on Android is built to send technical statistics to Google. That feature is switched off in the app.
The rest of this policy explains this in detail.
Data controller

What data is handled
Most data stays on the phone. Only purchase information, and the technical information a purchase requires, leaves it.
| Data | Where it is kept | Leaves the phone? | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Word lists, list names, progress and the chosen language | In the app on the device | No | So that your child can practise |
| Photo of a word list | Temporarily in the app's cache on the device, overwritten by the next photo | No | To read the words |
| Purchases and subscription status | Apple or Google, and RevenueCat | Yes | To unlock Premium and restore purchases |
| Anonymous app ID | RevenueCat | Yes | To link the purchase to the app without a name or account |
Text recognition runs on the phone: Apple's Vision on iPhone and Google's ML Kit on Android. Neither the image, the recognised text nor usage statistics are sent anywhere. Reading words aloud uses the phone's built-in voices and also happens on the phone.
If backup is switched on in the phone, the word lists may be included in the phone's backup with Apple (iCloud) or Google. This is controlled by the phone's settings, not by the app.
The app does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location, contacts, advertising IDs or how your child uses the app.
Third parties
Three companies receive data from the app, and only for purchases and technical operation. No one receives data for advertising or marketing.
| Company | What they receive | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) | Everything related to the payment itself, under their own terms | Taking payment and managing the subscription | Contract |
| RevenueCat | Anonymous app ID, purchase receipts and subscription status, plus technical information such as app version, operating system, country and IP address | Verifying purchases and unlocking Premium | Contract |
RevenueCat is our data processor and handles the data on our behalf. RevenueCat is based in the USA. The transfer is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which are part of RevenueCat's data processing agreement.
Apple and Google are independently responsible for their own processing; see Apple's privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.
Children
Homework Quiz is made for children, which is why the app never asks a child for personal information.
- Your child needs no account and never enters a name, age or email address.
- Purchases, subscription management and links out of the app are behind a parental gate that an adult must solve.
- The app contains no ads, no ad networks and no cross-app tracking.
- Purchases are made with the parent's Apple or Google account.
Storage and deletion
Everything on the phone is deleted when the app is removed. This includes word lists, progress and photos.
- A list is deleted with “Delete” on the list in the app.
- Purchase data at RevenueCat is kept for as long as the subscription needs to be managed. If you want it deleted, contact us and we will remove it at RevenueCat. Since we do not know who you are, we may need the purchase receipt from Apple or Google to find the right data.
- The subscription is cancelled in the App Store or Google Play settings. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
Your rights
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to:
- know what data we hold about you and get a copy
- have incorrect data corrected
- have data deleted
- restrict or object to how the data is used
- receive the data in a format that can be moved to another service
Contact us at info@divdev.se. As a parent you can do this on your child's behalf. Similar rights apply under other privacy laws, such as those in the UK and the USA, and we handle such requests the same way.
If you think we handle data incorrectly, you can complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or to the data protection authority in your country.
Changes and contact
We update this policy when the app changes, for example if a new feature needs new data. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Major changes are announced in the app.
