Maths Retriever Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 September 2026

The short version

  • No account, no advertising and no tracking across other apps or websites
  • We only receive your work when you ask for marking or help
  • We never sell your information
  • You can delete your data from inside the app at any time
What is sent, and when

Only when you use a feature that needs it — marking, hints, worked solutions, progress notes and similar — the app sends what that feature needs: the question, your answer and, for marking, an image of your written working. Please don’t write your name or other personal details in your work.

To run the service, the app also uses a random device identifier, your subscription status and simple usage counts. This is how daily limits work and how misuse is stopped.

Why it is used

Only to give you the feature you asked for, to keep the service secure and working, and to manage subscriptions and daily limits.

Who helps us provide it

Trusted service providers host the service and run its AI features on our behalf. They may use your content only to answer your request: they are not allowed to use it to train AI models, and we ask them not to keep it. Purchases are handled by Apple — we never see your payment details.

How long it is kept

Your work and the replies to it are not kept in our server logs or analytics. A finished result may be held, encrypted, for up to 15 minutes so it isn’t lost if the app is interrupted, and it is deleted as soon as the app receives it. Technical and subscription records are kept only as long as they are needed to run and protect the service.

Nothing is shown to other people

The app has no social, messaging or community features. Nothing you write or photograph is shown to anyone else.

Your choices and deleting your data

Your saved work stays on your device, or in your own iCloud backup if you make one. In the app’s settings, Delete my data lets you erase your saved work and remove the records linked to your device from our servers. You can also simply not use the AI features.

Children and schools

Maths Retriever is an educational app. It doesn’t ask for names or contact details, doesn’t show third-party advertising and doesn’t build advertising profiles.
