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.

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

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.

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.

A display name and avatar chosen by the parent or child
Language and reading settings
Reading activity (books read, progress, challenge results)

Modify or delete your child’s profile and associated data
