Visual Schedule Board privacy policy
The short version: everything you enter in Visual Schedule Board stays on your device. The app has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no Tendercraft server. We do not collect, receive, sell or share personal information about you or your child.
Who we are
Visual Schedule Board is a picture-based routine and organization tool for families, carers and teachers. It is published by Tendercraft (tendercrafthq.com). You can reach us at [email protected].
What the app stores on your device
An adult sets up the app. The following information is typed or chosen by the adult and kept only in the app's private storage on your tablet:
- Profile names (for example a child's first name or a class name)
- Routine names and step labels
- Pictures you choose: built-in symbols, or photos you take or select
- Settings, such as the default view and whether gentle animation is on
- The date each step was last marked done, so routines start fresh each day
Tendercraft does not receive any of this. It is not sent over the internet by the app. Android's automatic cloud backup is turned off for this app.
Children
The app is designed for children to use with a parent, carer or teacher nearby. Children are never asked to create an account, enter personal details, or contact anyone. Editing is protected by a parent gate, so routines are set up by adults. Because the app does not collect personal information, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Camera and photos
The camera permission is optional and used only when an adult chooses “Take a photo” for a step. You can also choose an existing photo through Android's picker. The app saves a smaller copy in its private storage. The app does not use your microphone, location, contacts, phone identity or advertising ID, and it does not read your photo library beyond the pictures you select.
Your camera and photo apps may offer their own cloud services, which are governed by their own policies.
Read aloud
The read-aloud button uses Android's built-in text-to-speech with a voice installed on your tablet that works without an internet connection. The button is hidden if no such voice is available. The app does not send step labels to any server.
Purchases
The free version includes one child profile and two routines. A one-time purchase unlocks more. Purchases are handled entirely by Amazon through the Amazon Appstore. Amazon receives the information it needs to complete and restore a purchase, under Amazon's own privacy notice. The app keeps a local record that the purchase was confirmed so that your routines keep working offline. There are no subscriptions.
Backups you create
A parent can export all routines and photos to a single file in a folder they choose, and import it again later. That file can contain names and photos, so keep it somewhere safe. The file does not include purchase information. We never see it.
Deleting your data
Deleting a child or a routine in the app removes its records and any photos no longer used. Uninstalling the app removes all data the app stores privately. Backup files you exported stay where you saved them until you delete them.
No tracking, no third parties
The app contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, social-media or profiling code. The only outside service it talks to is the Amazon Appstore, for purchases. The app's typeface and icons are bundled inside the app, so it does not load fonts or images from the internet.
Changes to this policy
If the way the app handles data ever changes, we will update this page and its date before the change ships in an app update.

Questions, or a request about this policy? Email [email protected]. Please do not send photos of children or other sensitive details by email unless we ask for them. Anything you email us is outside the app's on-device storage.
