Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Undralingur ehf. (“Wonderling”, “Undralingur”, “we”) is the data controller for personal data processed when you use our Services as an individual subscriber. This privacy policy explains how and why we process your personal data and what rights you have.

This policy applies to Individual Users (parents/legal guardians) and their children’s reading profiles. If you use Wonderling/Undralingur through a school or educator, please refer to our Privacy Policy for Schools and Educators, available on our website.

It is very important to us that our reading platform is privacy-friendly and secure, especially as our users are children. We are committed to the following principles:

  • We collect only as much personal data as is necessary for your child to use the Services.

  • We do not use personal data for advertising and we never display targeted ads to children.

  • We never sell personal data to third parties.

  • We do not use personal data for biometric identification.

  • Parents have control over their child’s data at all times.

  • We will not knowingly retain a child’s personal data after it is no longer needed.

2. What Personal Data Do We Collect?

2.1 Parent/Guardian Account

When you create an account, we process:

  • Email address — provided via magic link, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In

  • Authentication provider — which sign-in method you use

  • Account identifier — a unique ID assigned to your account

We do not collect or store passwords. Authentication is handled through one-time magic links or third-party sign-in providers (Apple, Google).

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your contact information changes.

2.2 Child Profiles

As a parent you create reading profiles for your children. Each profile contains:

  • Display name — chosen by you or your child

  • Avatar — selected from available options

  • Language preference

  • Reading settings — text level, reading speed, display preferences

2.3 Reading Activity

We collect reading activity data per profile to provide the service and track progress:

  • Books accessed and pages read

  • Reading time and duration

  • Reading level progression

  • Challenge completion, scores, and attempts

2.4 Speech Features

Our platform may offer speech-based reading exercises that use the device microphone. These features:

  • Require your explicit consent before activation

  • Can be revoked at any time through the app settings

  • Record audio only during active reading exercises

  • Send audio to our own servers (hosted in the EU) for analysis

  • Do not store recordings — audio is processed and immediately deleted

  • Are not used for biometric identification

In the future, we may offer the option to allow storage of audio recordings to improve our speech recognition service. This will require separate, explicit consent.

2.5 Technical Data

We automatically collect limited technical data:

  • IP address — for security purposes

  • Device and app information — for crash reporting and service stability

  • Anonymous usage analytics — reading patterns and app usage, not linked to your personal identity

2.6 Book Feedback

If you submit feedback about books through the app, we collect the feedback message along with the associated profile and book.

2.7 Account Deletion Requests

If you request account deletion, we collect your email address and optional reason for leaving.

4. How Do We Secure Your Personal Data?

  • Data is transmitted using HTTPS encryption

  • Our database enforces access controls so users can only access their own data

  • Sensitive credentials are stored using secure on-device storage

  • Crash reporting is configured with personal data collection disabled

  • We use reputable, industry-standard security solutions

No system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe the security of your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

We have procedures in place to deal with suspected data breaches. We will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority where we are legally required to do so.

5. Who Has Access to Your Personal Data?

We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients:

  • Cloud infrastructure providers — for hosting our platform and database (EU-based)

  • Analytics providers — anonymous usage data only, no personal data shared (EU-based)

  • Crash reporting providers — technical error data, personal data collection disabled

  • Subscription management providers — for managing in-app purchases

  • Email service providers — for transactional emails (EU-based)

  • Authentication providers — Apple and Google, for sign-in

  • Professional advisors — lawyers, accountants, auditors as needed

  • Public authorities — if required by law or valid legal process

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to applicable data protection law.

We enter into appropriate data processing agreements with all service providers. We never share personal data without a legal basis.

6. Transfers of Personal Data

Most of our service providers are based in the EU/EEA. Some providers (crash reporting, subscription management, authentication) may involve limited transfers of data to the United States. For such transfers, we ensure an equivalent level of protection through the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

7. How Long Do We Store Your Personal Data?

  • Active account — data is stored for as long as you have a valid account

  • After subscription cancellation — personal data is retained for up to 24 months, then anonymized (personal identifiers removed, aggregated analytics data retained)

  • Newsletters — until you unsubscribe

  • Enquiries and support — normally not stored for more than 3 years

Uninstalling the app does not delete your data or cancel your subscription. To delete your data, use the in-app account deletion feature or contact us.

In some situations we may retain data longer due to legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

8. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access — request whether and what personal data we process about you

  • Rectification — request correction of inaccurate personal data

  • Erasure — request deletion of your personal data

  • Restriction — request that we limit processing of your personal data

  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest

  • Data portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format

  • Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time

As a parent, you may access, review, or modify information in your child’s profile at any time through your account.

To exercise your rights, contact us at personuvernd@undralingur.is. We will respond as soon as possible and may ask you to verify your identity before proceeding.

These rights may be subject to limitations under applicable law. Exercising certain rights may affect our ability to provide the Services.

9. Children’s Privacy

We do not permit children to create accounts. Children access the Services only through accounts created by a parent or legal guardian. We do not collect personal information directly from children.

The personal data associated with a child’s profile is limited to:

  • A display name and avatar chosen by the parent or child

  • Language and reading settings

  • Reading activity (books read, progress, challenge results)

  • Speech analysis results, if the parent has given explicit consent

We do not require a child to provide more personal data than is reasonably necessary to use the Services. Children cannot publicly share personal information or communicate with other users through the Services.

As a parent, you may at any time:

  • Review the personal data associated with your child’s profile by signing into your account

  • Modify or delete your child’s profile and associated data

  • Withdraw consent for optional features such as speech analysis

  • Request deletion of all data associated with your child by contacting us

To make a request, contact us at personuvernd@undralingur.is.

10. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we process your personal data, please contact us at personuvernd@undralingur.is.

You may also file a complaint with the Icelandic Data Protection Authority (Personuvernd) or the relevant data protection authority in your EU/EEA member state.

11. Changes

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our services or applicable law. Updates will be published in the app and on our website. Material changes will be communicated via the email associated with your account.
