Privacy Policy for Spelling Bee: Honey Garden

Last Updated: June 9, 2026

Welcome to Spelling Bee: Honey Garden (the "App"), an educational word game developed by Vishnu Studio ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our App.

By downloading and using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our App is specifically designed for children. We take child safety very seriously and fully comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play’s Families Policy.

  • We DO NOT knowingly collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) from children.

  • No account registration is required to play the game.

2. Information We Collect and How It is Used

The App is built to run primarily in 100% Offline Mode to ensure a safe environment. However, to provide essential game features, we utilize limited third-party services that may process data as follows:

  • Game Data & Core Features: All game progress, heart/life counts, and spelling scores are stored locally on the user's device. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

  • Text-to-Speech (TTS): The App uses the Android device's built-in Text-to-Speech engine to read English words and example sentences aloud. This feature works offline and does not collect or transmit voice or personal data.

  • Firebase Services: We use Firebase Hosting to maintain the App’s core web assets and word databases safely. Firebase may process temporary network logs (such as IP addresses) strictly for security, performance optimization, and to prevent fraudulent activities via Firebase App Check. No personal user profiles are created.

3. Advertisements (Rewarded Ads)

The App contains third-party advertisements provided by Google AdMob to support our development. Specifically, we use Rewarded Ads, which allow children to willingly watch a short video advertisement in exchange for refilling their in-game hearts/lives.

  • AdMob may use device identifiers or limited data to serve contextual, age-appropriate ads suitable for children in accordance with Google Play's Families Policies.

  • Personalized tracking and behavioral targeting are disabled for child users.

4. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to our official website (such as vishnustudio.com) for promotional or support purposes. We encourage parents to supervise their children when accessing any external links.

5. Data Security

We value your trust. Since we do not collect personal data, there is no risk of personal data breaches on our end. For network connections with Firebase, we use secure HTTPS encryption to protect data during transmission.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We advise parents and guardians to review this page periodically for any changes.
