Data collection by user type

Anonymous users

Anonymous users can practice spelling for free without creating an account and are subject to usage and feature restrictions, including a word limit and progress tracking limitations. Your progress may be saved locally in your browser but is unlikely to be reliable if you use different devices or browsers. No email address is collected, and tracking is minimal.

Paid subscribers

Paid subscribers provide an email address for authentication and account management. Your progress is synced across devices and browsers, so you can continue learning from anywhere. Progress data is stored persistently and securely.

How we use data

We use limited data to operate and improve Lit Spelling, provide customer support, and understand which features are helpful. We never sell information to advertisers or third parties. We process data based on legitimate interests to provide and improve the service. Where consent is required, you can withdraw it at any time.

AI and speech technology

Lit Spelling uses AI and speech technology to read words aloud and check spelling accuracy. Voice input is processed in real time and not stored. None of this information is used for identification or profiling.

Parental guidance and supervision

For children under 13, parents or guardians must be the account holder and payer. We don't need your child's name, age, or personal details. We only capture the parent's email for account management. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child's usage and activity on the service. You can contact us at any time to request deletion of your data.
