Privacy Policy
🔒 Zero Data CollectionVizancia is an offline-first educational app that teaches Artificial Intelligence concepts through interactive lessons and mini-games. In plain language:
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Vizancia Incorporated ("Vizancia," "we," "us," or "our"), a corporation established in Ontario, Canada, handles information in connection with the Vizancia mobile application and any related websites, features, or services (collectively, the "App" or "Services").
Vizancia Incorporated is the party responsible for the App and acts as the "data controller" (or equivalent) for the limited purposes described in this Policy. This Policy applies to all users of the App worldwide. Because the App is designed to be offline-first and does not collect personal information, most privacy obligations that apply to data-collecting services do not arise here; where they may, we describe your rights below.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.
None. Vizancia does not collect any personal information whatsoever. We have designed the App so that no personal data is required to use it. Specifically, we do not collect:
Because we collect no personal information, we do not build user profiles, we do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have no personal information to disclose in response to a data-subject request.
We may, in the future, introduce features that involve collecting limited personal information — for example, optional user accounts, cloud sync of your progress, in-app advertising, analytics, or measurement tools. We have not implemented any such feature as of the effective date of this Policy. If and when we do, we will update this Policy (with a new version number and effective date), clearly describe what is collected and why, and — where required by applicable law — provide advance notice and obtain your consent before the new practice takes effect. We will not retroactively apply new collection practices to data that was previously stored only on your device, and any advertising directed to children will comply with applicable children's-privacy laws.
Vizancia stores your learning progress locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This on-device data may include:
This information is stored solely on your device. It never leaves your device, is never transmitted to us, and is not accessible to us or to any third party. We cannot read, retrieve, or restore it. If your device has iCloud backup enabled by you, this data may be included in your personal, encrypted device backup managed by Apple under Apple's terms — we have no access to those backups. If you delete the App, all associated local data is permanently removed from your device.
The App itself does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or data-collection SDKs, and it does not display advertisements to you. Aside from the optional Game Center multiplayer feature described below, the App functions entirely offline. However, you should be aware of the following platform and marketing services:
We promote Vizancia through paid advertising campaigns that run on third-party platforms — currently Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook and Instagram), and potentially Apple Search Ads or similar services in the future. These ads appear on those platforms, not inside the App. When you view or interact with one of our ads on a third-party platform, that platform may collect and process information about you (such as ad impressions, clicks, and its own identifiers) in accordance with its own privacy policy — for example, Meta's Privacy Policy. This processing is controlled by those platforms, not by us. Because the App contains no advertising or attribution SDK, we receive only aggregated, de-identified campaign performance reporting (such as total impressions, clicks, or installs) from these platforms, and we cannot use it to identify you or link it to your use of the App.
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and runs on Apple's operating systems. Apple may independently collect certain information (for example, download, purchase, and aggregate crash or diagnostic data) as the platform provider. This collection is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and is outside our control. We do not receive personally identifiable information from Apple through this channel.
The only external service Vizancia connects to is Apple's Game Center, which powers optional multiplayer features. Game Center is available only within the high school grade band and is used only if you choose to enable it. Game Center is operated and managed entirely by Apple under Apple's own privacy policy. Vizancia does not access, store, transmit, or receive your Game Center profile information, and we do not maintain our own copy of any multiplayer or leaderboard data on our servers. Your use of Game Center is subject to Apple's terms and privacy practices.
The web page on which this Policy is published is a static page. It does not set cookies, does not use analytics or advertising technologies, and does not collect personal information from visitors.
Because we do not collect personal information, we do not use it for any purpose. The on-device data described in Section 4 is used only locally, on your device, to provide core app functionality — such as saving your progress, tracking achievements, and applying your preferences. None of this processing involves us or any server.
We do not use any information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, a legal basis is required to process personal data. Vizancia does not process personal data on any server, so no legal basis is engaged for such processing. To the limited extent that on-device functionality could be characterized as processing, it is carried out locally to perform the service you request (contractual necessity) and/or based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by disabling the relevant feature or deleting the App.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share personal information with anyone, because we do not collect any. We do not disclose personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or analytics providers.
In the unlikely event that we are legally compelled to respond to a lawful request from a public authority, we would have no personal information to produce. Should Vizancia ever be involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, this Policy would continue to apply to any information covered by it, and we would provide notice of any material change as described in Section 18.
We do not retain any personal information on our systems because we do not collect any. On-device data is retained on your device for as long as the App is installed and is deleted when you remove the App or clear its data through your device settings.
The most effective privacy protection is not collecting data in the first place, and that is the approach Vizancia takes. Because personal information is never transmitted to or stored by us, it is not exposed to server-side breaches, interception in transit, or unauthorized access on our end. On-device data benefits from the security protections built into your device's operating system, including device-level encryption and app sandboxing. No method of electronic storage is ever completely secure, and you are responsible for maintaining the security of your own device (for example, by using a passcode and keeping your software up to date).
Vizancia is an educational app intended to be safe for learners of all ages, including children. Consistent with our zero-collection design, we do not knowingly collect, store, or transmit personal information from any user, including children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in parts of the EU/EEA).
We designed the App to comply with the principles of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the "GDPR-K" provisions of the GDPR concerning children, and Apple's requirements for apps directed to children. The App does not contain behavioral advertising, does not include third-party analytics, and does not enable children to make personal information publicly available.
Because we do not collect data from anyone, there is no children's personal information for a parent or guardian to review, delete, or restrict. If you are a parent or guardian and have any questions about the App's privacy practices, please contact us using the details in Section 20.
If you choose to enable daily reminder notifications, these are scheduled and delivered locally on your device using Apple's local notification system. No notification content or scheduling data is sent to us or to any server. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
Vizancia does not transfer personal information across borders because it does not collect or transmit any personal information. On-device data remains on your device wherever you are located. Any platform-level data handled by Apple is subject to Apple's own international transfer safeguards.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information under laws such as PIPEDA (Canada), the GDPR/UK GDPR (EU/EEA/UK), and the CCPA/CPRA (California). These may include the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal information, the right to withdraw consent, the right to object, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
Because Vizancia holds no personal information about you, there is generally nothing for us to access, correct, delete, or port on your behalf. You nonetheless remain in full control of your on-device data, which you can delete at any time by clearing the App's data or uninstalling the App. If you wish to exercise a right or ask a question, contact us using Section 20 and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would trigger a right to limit. In the preceding 12 months, we have not collected any categories of personal information.
Consistent with PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation — including Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, as amended by Law 25 — we practice data minimization by not collecting personal information. You may direct any privacy inquiry or complaint to us, and you also have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial privacy regulator (for Quebec residents, the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec).
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. As no personal data is processed on our servers, most data-subject requests will result in confirmation that we hold no such data.
The App does not track users across apps or websites and does not use technologies that respond to "Do Not Track" signals, because no tracking occurs. On Apple devices, App Tracking Transparency is not triggered because Vizancia does not track you.
Because we do not collect or store personal information on our systems, there is no personal information that could be exposed in a breach of our systems. In the unlikely event of any incident that we determine could affect user privacy, we will act in accordance with applicable breach-notification laws and post any required notice here.
The App or this page may occasionally reference third-party services (such as Apple). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our practices, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and post the updated Policy on this page. If we make a material change, we will take reasonable steps to provide additional notice (for example, an in-app notice) where required by law. Your continued use of the App after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
This Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local consumer or privacy laws grant you additional protections. Nothing in this Policy limits any non-waivable rights you have under the laws applicable to you.

In accordance with PIPEDA's accountability principle and Quebec's Law 25, we have designated a person responsible for the protection of personal information (Privacy Officer), who can be reached at the email address above.
We will make reasonable efforts to respond to privacy inquiries promptly and within any timeframe required by applicable law.
