Privacy

This app is used by children, so it holds as little about them as it can and shows it to nobody but their own parent. This page says exactly what that means.

Who runs this app

KS1 Practice is run by North West Data Products Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17388764. Registered office: Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, IP28 7DE.

For anything on this page, email privacy@northwestdata.io. We answer within one month, which is the limit the UK GDPR sets.

What we hold about your child

Only two things identify them, and you choose both:

• a first name or nickname — whatever you type, so it can be a nickname if you would rather;
• a year group — Year 1, 2 or 3, and nothing finer.

There is no date of birth, no address, no photograph, no school and no surname. Those fields do not exist in the app, so there is nothing to leave blank.

Alongside that we keep what the app needs to actually teach:

• each practice question answered — which topic it was, whether it was right, and when;
• the review queue, so a question they got wrong comes back later;
• past paper sittings — which paper, when it started and finished;
• badges earned, and when.

What we hold about you

• your email address, so we can send the sign-in link. There is no password to store;
• your dashboard PIN, if you set one. It is optional, and it is stored scrambled rather than as the digits you typed.

Why we hold it

To run the app you asked us to run: to sign you in, to keep your child's practice going from one session to the next, and to show you how they are getting on. That is the only reason any of it exists.

Your child's answers shape their own practice — which topics come up, and when a question returns. That is the whole of it. Nothing is compared against other children, and no decision with any real consequence is made automatically about anyone.

What we never do

• No advertising. There are no ads and no ad networks.
• Nothing is sold or shared for anyone else's purposes.
• No child sees another child's anything, and no parent sees another family's. Each account is walled off from every other.
• No profiling across children, and no leaderboards — which is a deliberate product decision, not an oversight.
• No analytics or tracking of any kind. There is no analytics script on any page of this app today.

Cookies, and what your browser stores

One cookie, and it is the one that keeps you signed in. It lasts up to 60 days so you are not asked to sign in every visit. There is no advertising cookie and nothing to consent to, which is why you have never seen a cookie banner here.

Your text size and letter style are remembered inside your browser and are never sent to us — which is why they are per-device, and why changing them on a tablet does not change them on a laptop.

Who else touches the data

Three suppliers, each doing one job on our instructions and nothing of their own:

• Resend — sends the sign-in email. It handles your email address, never your child's information.
• Neon — hosts the database, in the EU.
• Render — runs the app itself.

How long we keep it

For as long as you keep the account. We do not delete on a timer, because a child's practice history is the thing that makes the app work — a year of answers is what stops it re-asking what they already know.

When you delete a child, everything of theirs goes with it: answers, review queue, paper sittings and badges. That is immediate, and it is not recoverable.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it — for yourself and on your child's behalf. Email privacy@northwestdata.io and we will act within one month.

Deleting a child from the Account page does the deletion immediately; you do not need to ask us first.

If you think we have handled something badly, please tell us — but you are also entitled to complain directly to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this page

If what the app does with data changes, this page changes with it, in the same release. Last updated 16 August 2026.
