Privacy Policy — AR Spectrum

AR Spectrum ("we", "our", "the app") is an AR-enabled textbook platform used by schools, teachers, and students. This policy explains what information we collect through our website and mobile app, and how we use it.

Who this applies to

AR Spectrum is designed to be used by primary-school students without requiring an account, email address, or any personal information. The sections below describe exactly what limited data the app does collect, and why.

Camera access

The app uses your device's camera to scan QR codes and to recognize pictures in the textbook, so it can show the right quiz, 3D model, or media for that page.

When you scan a picture, the photo is sent to our server only to find a match — it is processed in memory and is not saved or stored anywhere.
When you use live "Track on page" AR, the camera feed is used entirely on your own device to detect the picture and place the 3D model — it is never uploaded or transmitted anywhere.

Quiz activity

To let you take a quiz and see your score, the app generates a random, anonymous identifier stored only in your browser (not tied to your name, email, or any other personal information) and uses it to record which questions you answered and your score. This identifier cannot be used to identify who you are.

QR scan analytics

When a QR code is scanned, we log which page was scanned and an approximate location (country/region/city, derived from the network address at the moment of the scan) so schools and administrators can see which pages are most used. We do not store the underlying network (IP) address itself — only the approximate location derived from it at the time of the scan.

Teacher and admin accounts

Teachers and school administrators who manage content through the admin panel sign in with an email address and password. This account information is used only to operate the admin panel (publishing content, viewing analytics) and is never shared with or sold to third parties.

Children's privacy

AR Spectrum is built for use by children in a classroom or at home with a parent or guardian, and is intentionally designed to avoid collecting personal information from students: no student accounts, no names, no emails, no advertising. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information some other way, contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

Third-party services

We use a cloud storage provider (Amazon S3) to host 3D models, images, and other media shown in the app, and a database host to store catalog and quiz data. We do not use advertising networks or third-party analytics/tracking SDKs.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
