Mathovio — Privacy notice
Last updated: 11 October 2026.
Controller and contact
The controller for the processing described in this notice is Julian Gunasekara, the developer of Mathovio. For support or privacy enquiries: julianjpg@me.com.
Data and purposes
Mathovio is an educational app for practising multiplication and division. No online account is required. It stores your chosen name or nickname, player names, a local identifier for each player, scores, correct and total answers, levels, study progress and app preferences, including audio settings, on your device. These data let you resume learning, manage players and view the local leaderboard. Real names are not required.
Local storage and backups
The app does not automatically send these data to a developer-operated server and has no built-in iCloud sync or backup feature. App data may nevertheless be included in device backups managed by Apple or by you, depending on the relevant settings. The developer cannot directly access data stored only on your device.
Educational voice and permissions
Spoken operations use Apple’s system speech synthesis to read numbers and mathematical operations. Mathovio does not record your voice or request access to the microphone, camera, contacts or location. Voice availability depends on the system and installed voices. Speech, automatic reading and sound effects can be turned off in the app’s settings.
Sharing and external links
Leaderboard sharing takes place only when you initiate it and choose an app or recipient. Shared text contains each player’s rank, name, points and level. Before sending it, make sure you may share other players’ names, especially those of children. Sent copies are controlled by the recipients and chosen services. Email, website and Instagram links open external services governed by their own privacy policies.
Children
Mathovio can be used for educational activities with children. Player profiles are local and are not online accounts. We encourage parents and guardians to use nicknames and supervise sharing and external links. We do not ask children to send personal data to the developer. A parent or guardian may contact us for support concerning a child.
Advertising, analytics and TestFlight
The version described includes no advertising, advertising tracking or third-party analytics tools. If you install the app through TestFlight, Apple manages testing and usage data and shares diagnostic information, including crash reports, with the developer; TestFlight app crash reports are shared automatically. Feedback you submit may include comments, screenshots and contact information. We use available data to diagnose problems and improve the app. Do not include unnecessary personal information in screenshots or messages. For Apple’s handling and retention of these data, see the TestFlight privacy notice: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/test-flight/. Any working copies retained by the developer are kept only as long as needed to investigate and resolve the issue, unless legal obligations or disputes require otherwise. For the App Store version, any sharing of Apple diagnostic data depends on Apple’s services and the applicable settings.
Support, recipients and retention
When you send an email, we receive your address, message and chosen attachments to handle your request. The app does not automatically attach player data. Julian Gunasekara handles requests through iCloud Mail, without additional customer management services. Support emails are retained for 6 months after the request is closed, unless legal obligations or disputes require longer retention. They are not used for advertising. Apple provides the email service; information about its processing, international transfers and safeguards is available at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/. Data may be disclosed to authorities where legally required.
Retention and deletion on your device
Local data remain on your device until changed or removed. You can edit names and delete a player and their score, provided at least one player remains. “Reset progress” resets study progress and the selected player’s score; it does not remove all names, preferences or other players’ scores. To remove all local data, use “Delete App” in iOS/iPadOS settings; removing an app from the Home Screen or offloading it while keeping documents and data is not full deletion. Backups and previously shared leaderboards have separate retention and are not deleted by this action.
Legal bases and your rights
For data received by the developer, we answer service-related requests to perform the requested service (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)), handle legal obligations and rights requests under Article 6(1)(c), and process available diagnostic information for our legitimate interest in fixing errors and improving app reliability (Article 6(1)(f)). Retention necessary to protect legal rights relies on the same legitimate interest. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier processing. Providing support data is optional, but without necessary information we may be unable to reply. Where the GDPR applies, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability, object where applicable, and complain to the competent supervisory authority, including Italy’s Garante per la protezione dei dati personali. Contact us at the address above. Rights apply within the limits set by law; we cannot remotely retrieve or delete data stored only on your device.
Scope and updates
This notice covers Mathovio. The website hosting this page and other external services must separately explain their own processing, including any cookies and access logs. We will update this page when the described features or processing change, state the new date and provide additional notices when needed.
