Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 June 2026

At Readrly, your family's privacy is at the heart of everything we do. Readrly is a reading app designed for children aged 5–11, and we are committed to protecting the personal information of both children and the grown-ups who care for them. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Readrly, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who We Are

Readrly is operated by Readrly Ltd ("Readrly", "we", "us", or "our"), a company based in the United Kingdom. We are the data controller responsible for your personal information. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at info@readrly.io.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information provided by a parent or guardian, such as name and email address, when creating an account.
  • Child profile information such as a first name or nickname, age or reading level, and avatar choices.
  • Reading activity such as books read, progress, challenges completed, and rewards earned, used to personalise the experience.
  • Device and usage data such as device type, app version, and anonymised analytics that help us improve Readrly.
  • Communications you send us, such as support requests, waitlist sign-ups, or newsletter subscriptions.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, personalise, and improve the Readrly experience.
  • Track reading progress and deliver rewards and challenges.
  • Communicate with parents about accounts, updates, and support.
  • Keep Readrly safe, secure, and free from misuse.
  • Comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell your or your child's personal information, and we do not show third-party behavioural advertising to children.

4. Children's Privacy

Readrly is designed for children, and protecting them is our top priority. Children's accounts are set up and managed by a parent or guardian. We collect only the minimum information needed to provide a safe, fun reading experience, and we never require a child to share more personal information than is necessary. Parents can review, update, or delete their child's information at any time by contacting us.

5. How We Share Information

We only share personal information in limited circumstances:

  • With trusted service providers who help us operate Readrly(such as hosting and analytics), under strict confidentiality obligations.
  • When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and Readrly.

6. Data Security & Retention

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. We keep personal information only for as long as needed to provide our services or to meet our legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. Under UK and EU data protection law, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@readrly.io.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you directly. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
