TauQuest Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

TauQuest is a parent-managed educational app operated by Arha Ventures LLC. This policy explains what information TauQuest collects, how we use it, and the choices families have.

Short version TauQuest is launching on iOS as a free, ad-free app. We do not use third-party advertising, we do not sell personal information, and children do not need their own email accounts to use the app.

Information We Collect

Category Examples When collected
Parent account information Parent name, parent email address, password hash, session token When a parent creates an account or logs in
Child profile information Child nickname or first name, grade, avatar choice When a local preview profile or parent-managed profile is created
Learning and progress information Question results, topic strengths, streaks, Rocky memory, hints used During practice and review
Support information Email address, message content, troubleshooting details When you contact us for help
Technical information IP address, request metadata, device/browser information in server logs When the app or site connects to our backend or hosting providers

Local Preview Mode

Kids can try TauQuest without a parent account. In preview mode, the app creates a local child profile on the device. The profile and practice memory stay on that device unless a parent creates an account to save the profile and sync it across devices.

How We Use Information

Children's Privacy

TauQuest is designed for parent-managed use. Children are not asked to provide an email address. A parent can create and manage child profiles. If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate parental involvement, contact us at privacy@tauquest.com and we will review and delete the information where appropriate.

No Ads, No Tracking, No Sale of Personal Information

The iOS launch version of TauQuest does not include third-party advertising SDKs and does not use third-party analytics SDKs. We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information to track users across other companies' apps or websites.

Service Providers

We use trusted service providers to operate TauQuest, including hosting, storage, backend infrastructure, email/support handling, and Apple's App Store services. These providers process information only as needed to help us run TauQuest and support families.

Data Storage and Security

Parent passwords are stored as password hashes, not plain text. Session tokens are stored on the device using secure storage when available. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect account and learning data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.

Data Retention

We keep parent account, child profile, and progress data while the account is active or as needed to provide TauQuest. Families can request account deletion at any time. We may retain limited records if required for security, legal, or operational reasons.

Your Choices

Visit Privacy Choices for deletion and data request instructions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as TauQuest changes. If we make material changes, we will update the date above and provide additional notice where appropriate.
