Privacy and adult access
Spelling Arcade is an adult-managed educational service. Teachers, parents, home educators and tutors can sign in with their own email addresses. Children are not asked to register or supply an email address.
Adult sign-in and optional emails
Adult accounts use a verified email address, an adult role, sign-in timestamps and protected session records. Adults may optionally set a password for returning sign-ins. We store a one-way password hash, not the plain-text password. Password recovery uses the verified email-link process. Verification links work for 20 minutes. Normal sign-in sessions can last up to two hours; the optional remembered session can last up to 30 days on a private device. Signing in does not subscribe you to promotional emails. Marketing consent is optional and can be withdrawn without affecting game access.
Classroom and home sessions
Adults create temporary, revocable access codes. The service stores pseudonymous device sessions and timestamps so participating browsers can join. Children do not need accounts or email addresses. Pupil scores and coins stay in the browser rather than our adult-account database, and class/home progress is temporary per browser tab. Do not share adult sign-in links or private session cookies with children.
Cookies, logs and retention
Essential session cookies protect access, and a signed guest-trial cookie may remain for up to 30 days. Adult sessions, verification links and class codes expire, but their database records are removed under periodic maintenance rather than automatically at the expiry moment. Hosting security logs can contain technical request details. On shared devices, clear local progress between users and never select the remembered-adult-session option.
