BeQwik Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how AKKM Software (Google Play developer name: akkmsoftware; "we", "us", "our") handles information in the BeQwik mobile application ("BeQwik" or the "App") for Android and iOS. BeQwik helps children practise small calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) so they become fast and confident at bigger ones.

1. Information we collect

None. BeQwik does not collect, upload or store any personal information on our servers. We do not run any servers for the App. There is no sign-up and no login. We do not know who uses BeQwik, and we never receive names, photos, scores, voice recordings, contact details, location or device identifiers from the App.

The only personal data we ever receive is what you choose to send us by email (for example through the App's Feedback screen): your email address and message. We use it only to reply (see section 11).

2. Data stored on your device

To work, BeQwik saves the following only on your device:

• Practice, test and worksheet settings (operations, number of digits, time per question, number of questions) and the app language.
• An optional profile name and picture, if you choose to add them. They are shown on results and worksheets.
• Test results shown on the results screen.
• Whether a premium purchase is active, so premium features keep working offline.

This information never leaves your device unless you choose to share it yourself (see section 5). We cannot see or access it.

3. Permissions

• Microphone (optional): used only for voice answers during a test, and only after you allow it. You can say no, or turn it off later in your device settings. BeQwik still works fully with on-screen answers.
• Photos (optional): when you pick a profile picture, BeQwik uses the system photo picker. The App receives only the single picture you choose and keeps a copy on your device.
• Internet: used only by Google Play Billing or the App Store for purchases (see section 6), and by the device's speech recognition service if voice answers are on. BeQwik sends nothing to us.

4. Voice answers (speech recognition)

If voice answers are turned on, the microphone listens only while a test question is waiting for an answer. Your spoken answer is converted to text by the speech recognition service built into your device: on Android this is usually Google's speech service, and on iOS it is Apple's speech recognition. Depending on your device and settings, that service may process the audio on the device or send it to Google or Apple to convert it into text, under their own privacy policies.

BeQwik receives only the resulting text (for example, "twelve") to check the answer. We do not record, store or receive any audio. Voice answers are optional and can be switched off in the App's test settings.

5. Worksheets and sharing

Printable worksheets (PDF) and result images are created on your device. They are only saved, printed or shared when you choose to, using your device's own print and share features. Whoever you share them with will see their content, which may include the profile name you entered.

6. In-app purchases

Premium features are sold through Google Play Billing on Android and the App Store on iOS. Payments are handled entirely by Google or Apple. We do not receive or store your payment details. The App only receives confirmation that a purchase is active.

On Android, the App includes the Google Play Billing Library, which Google provides to process purchases. To make purchases work reliably, this library may send Google information such as purchase history, app interactions with the purchase screens and diagnostic data (for example app version, device type and errors). This is collected by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. It does not include your child's name, picture, answers or scores, and we do not receive it.

7. Advertising & analytics

BeQwik contains no advertising and no third-party advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking software development kits (SDKs). The only Google component that sends data is the Google Play Billing Library described in section 6. We do not build profiles of users and do not track usage across apps or websites.

8. Children's privacy

BeQwik is designed for children and is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children or anyone else, in line with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU and UK GDPR and similar laws. A name or picture entered in the profile stays on the device and is never sent to us.

We recommend that a parent or guardian sets up the App, decides whether to allow microphone access, and uses Google Play or App Store parental controls to approve purchases.

9. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent or share personal data with anyone. BeQwik does not send any personal data to us or to other companies. The only data that leaves the device goes directly to:

• Google (Google Play Billing) or Apple (App Store): purchase information and, for Google Play Billing, diagnostic data needed to process purchases (see section 6).
• Your device's speech recognition provider (usually Google on Android or Apple on iOS): the audio of spoken answers, only when voice answers are turned on (see section 4).

Files you choose to share yourself, such as a worksheet or a result picture, go only to the people or apps you pick (see section 5).

10. Data security

We protect data by keeping as little of it as possible and handling it carefully:

• Profile name, picture, settings and results are stored in the App's private storage on your device, which other apps cannot read.
• We run no servers and keep no databases about users, so there is no copy of your data that could be exposed on our side.
• Data sent to Google or Apple for purchases or speech recognition is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) by their services.
• The App asks only for the permissions it needs, and the microphone is used only after you turn on voice answers.
• Emails you send us are kept in a password-protected mailbox and are only used to reply to you.

11. Data retention and deletion

• Data on your device (profile name, picture, settings, results, purchase status) is kept until you remove it. You can change or remove the name and picture in Settings, or delete all App data by clearing the App's storage in your device settings or uninstalling the App.
• Data held by us: none from the App. We hold no copy of your App data, so there is nothing to delete on our side.
• Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to answer your question, and at most 12 months. You can ask us to delete them at any time by writing to the address in section 14.
• Purchase and diagnostic data held by Google or Apple is kept and deleted under their own policies; you can manage it in your Google or Apple account.

12. Third-party services

The App is distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store, purchases use Google Play Billing or the App Store, and voice answers rely on your device's speech recognition service. These services are run by Google and Apple under their own privacy policies, which we do not control:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Apple Privacy Policy

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add new features. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and post the new version on this page.

14. Developer and contact

BeQwik is developed and published by AKKM Software (Google Play developer name: akkmsoftware), Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.

For any question about this Privacy Policy or your data, or to ask us to delete an email you sent, contact our privacy contact at kamlesh.akkmsoftware@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 30 days.
