Privacy Policy — TeachClock™

Last updated: May 18, 2026

TeachClock™ is a simple, friendly clock learning app operated by Brightline Tech Group, LLC.

This Privacy Policy explains what information TeachClock collects, how it is used, and how parents, guardians, teachers, and other users can contact us.

TeachClock is designed to be privacy-friendly. The app does not require a user account, does not ask children to enter their names, does not include advertising, and does not sell personal information.

2. What TeachClock does

TeachClock helps children learn to tell time using a visual analog clock, digital time display, voice playback, and simple timer features.

The app is intended to be used by children with the help or supervision of a parent, guardian, teacher, or caregiver.

3. Information children provide directly

TeachClock is designed so that children do not need to provide personal information.

TeachClock does not ask children to provide:

• name
• email address
• phone number
• home address
• school name
• photos
• videos
• voice recordings
• location
• messages
• account login information

TeachClock does not include chat, social sharing, public posting, or user profiles.

4. Local app settings

TeachClock may save simple settings on the user’s device so the app works as expected.

These settings may include things like:

• selected clock voice
• whether AM/PM is spoken
• selected timer alarm sound
• whether the timer alarm loops
• normal browser or PWA cache files needed to load the app

These settings are stored locally on the device or in the browser. They are used only to make the app remember the user’s preferences.

5. Audio and voice playback

TeachClock may use pre-generated audio files to speak the time.

Our goal is for TeachClock to use audio files that are already generated and stored for playback, so the app does not need to generate a new voice recording each time the clock is used.

TeachClock may load audio files from cloud storage, including Supabase-hosted storage. These files are used to play clock voice audio.

In some cases, if a pre-generated audio file is unavailable or a new voice feature is being tested, TeachClock may use a server-side text-to-speech service to generate audio. When this happens, TeachClock may send the requested clock phrase and selected voice identifier to the voice service provider. For example, this may include a phrase such as “three o’clock” and the selected voice option.

TeachClock does not send a child’s voice recording to a voice provider. TeachClock does not record the child speaking.

6. Technical information

Like most websites and apps, TeachClock and its service providers may automatically process limited technical information when the app loads or when audio files are requested.

This may include:

• IP address
• browser type
• device type
• operating system
• date and time of request
• pages or files requested
• basic security or error logs

This technical information is used for ordinary app operation, security, troubleshooting, hosting, performance, and preventing abuse.

TeachClock does not use this information for behavioral advertising, child profiling, or selling personal information.

7. Support emails

If a parent, guardian, teacher, or other adult contacts us for support, we may receive the information included in that email.

This may include:

• the sender’s email address
• the sender’s name, if included
• the contents of the support message
• any technical details the sender chooses to provide

Support emails are used to respond to support requests and improve the app.

Please do not send children’s personal information through support unless it is necessary to resolve the issue.

8. Advertising and tracking

TeachClock does not display third-party advertising.

TeachClock does not use behavioral advertising.

TeachClock does not sell personal information.

TeachClock does not use third-party analytics for child profiling.

If this changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those features are added.

9. Payments and optional contributions

TeachClock is currently free to use.

If an optional contribution feature, such as a “buy me a coffee” style donation, is added in the future, payment processing would be handled by a payment provider. TeachClock would not store full credit card numbers.

This Privacy Policy will be updated before any payment or contribution feature is added.

10. Third-party service providers

TeachClock may rely on trusted service providers to operate the app.

These may include providers for:

• website or app hosting
• cloud storage for audio files
• text-to-speech generation when needed
• security, logging, or error diagnosis
• email support

These providers may process limited technical information as needed to provide their services.

We do not authorize service providers to use TeachClock data for advertising to children.

11. Children’s privacy

TeachClock is designed to avoid collecting personal information directly from children.

We do not knowingly ask children under 13 to provide personal information.

If we learn that TeachClock has collected personal information from a child in a way that requires parental consent and that consent has not been obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information or otherwise comply with applicable law.

12. Data retention

TeachClock keeps information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected.

Local settings remain on the user’s device unless the user clears browser/app data or uninstalls the app.

Support emails may be retained as needed to respond to the request, maintain business records, improve support, and protect legal rights.

Technical logs may be retained by hosting, storage, or service providers for limited periods according to their normal security and operational practices.

13. Data security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect TeachClock and the limited information processed through the app.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. International users

TeachClock is operated from the United States.

If you use TeachClock from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or in other locations where our service providers operate.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above.

If we make material changes to how TeachClock handles personal information, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice as appropriate.
