Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

MathSchools is a free math-games website for kids in grades K-8. We do not ask for, collect, or store personal information about anyone, including children.

In short: no accounts, no sign-up, no names, no email addresses, and no tracking of children. Some pages show ads from Google AdSense, set up as child-directed with no personalized ads. Your game scores stay on your own device.

Who runs this site

MathSchools is operated by Herd Apps LLC, a Florida limited liability company. MathSchools is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any school or school district. Contact: [email protected].

What we do not collect

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, photos, voice recordings, or locations.
We do not have accounts, logins, chat, comments, or any place for a child to type personal information.
We do not set cookies ourselves. On the pages that show ads, Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technology to deliver ads, limit repeats and prevent fraud. Because we set ads as child-directed, Google does not use them for personalized ads or remarketing.
We do not use analytics, social-media widgets, tracking pixels, or third-party fonts or services. The only third-party code on our pages is Google AdSense on the pages that show ads, described under Advertising below. The games themselves never load third-party code or show ads.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not collect any ourselves. See Advertising below for what our ad provider may receive.

What stays on your device

Some games save your high scores and simple settings (like sound on or off) in your browser's local storage, and the site remembers the language you pick (English, Spanish or Portuguese) the same way. The site search and the Math Helper run entirely in your browser: what you type into them is never sent to us or to anyone else. This stays on your own device. It is not sent to us, it contains no personal information, and we cannot see it. You or a parent can clear it at any time using your browser's "clear site data" setting. If your browser blocks local storage, the games still work; they just will not remember your scores.

US laws that apply to us

MathSchools is operated from the United States and is intended for use in the United States. We design the site to follow:

COPPA (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. 6501-6506, and the FTC's COPPA Rule, 16 C.F.R. Part 312). We do not ourselves collect personal information from children, and we will not do so without verifiable parental consent where the law requires it. Our ads are set to child-directed treatment.
FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). We do not receive, ask for, or hold student education records, so a school using MathSchools does not need to share any with us.
State student-privacy laws, such as California's Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA) and similar laws in Florida and other states. We do not collect student information, we do not build profiles of students, and we do not use student information for advertising.
State consumer-privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. We do not sell or share personal information, because we do not collect it. California's online privacy law asks us to say how we handle "Do Not Track" signals: we do not track visitors, so there is nothing for such a signal to switch off.

Schools and districts that need a signed student-privacy agreement can email [email protected].

Server logs

Like every website, our web hosting service receives a request each time a page loads, and routine technical logs (such as the page requested and the internet address of the requesting device) may be created by the hosting service to keep the site running and secure. We do not use this information to identify, profile, or contact anyone, and we do not combine it with other information. We do not add tracking tools of our own.

Email you send us

If a parent, teacher, or other adult writes to us, we will see the email address and anything in the message, and we will use it only to reply. Please do not send children's personal information. If you tell us a child has sent personal information, we will delete it. Children should ask a parent or teacher to write to us.

Children's privacy (COPPA)

MathSchools is designed for children, including children under 13. Because we do not collect personal information from children, there is no personal information for parents to review or delete. If you believe a child has somehow given us personal information, please email [email protected] and we will look into it and delete it promptly.

Data security and retention

We keep our site simple on purpose: static pages with no database of user information. We keep nothing about visitors, so there is nothing to keep, secure, or delete beyond routine hosting logs, which are controlled by our hosting provider's standard retention.

Advertising

MathSchools is free, and we pay for it with advertising. Ads from Google AdSense appear in a banner on the home page, the games list and the game player page. They never appear inside a game.

We set all ads as child-directed (the "tag for child-directed treatment"). That means no personalized or interest-based ads, no remarketing, and no tracking of children across websites. The ads are chosen by the page, not by who is looking at it.

To show an ad, Google may receive technical information from a visitor's device, such as an internet address, browser type and a device identifier, and may use cookies or similar technology for delivering ads, limiting repeats and preventing fraud. We do not receive this information and cannot see it. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. If your school or network blocks ads, MathSchools still works.

Parents and teachers who prefer no ads can look at our ad-free plan, which is not yet available.

This paragraph describes future plans.

We may later add games made by other companies, shown inside our pages. (Our arcade today is made up of original games built by us.) If we do, we will work only with game providers that confirm in writing they follow children's privacy laws, test their games before we publish them, update this policy to name the provider and what it collects, and get verifiable parental consent first if the law requires it for anything we add.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new date. If a change affects what we collect from children, we will give parents notice and obtain consent where the law requires it.
