A New Page Math
Privacy, your child's data, and when to seek more help
Plain English, no legalese where we can help it. Last updated July 4, 2026.
The short version
No ads. No selling data. No accounts required. Right now, your child's progress lives in the browser on your own device — it never leaves your home unless you copy a backup code yourself. We can't see it. Nobody can.
What is stored, and where
- Progress data (which expeditions are done, which skills are settling, streaks, the name you type at the campfire) is saved in your browser's local storage, on your device only.
- There is no account, no login, and no server-side profile. If you clear your browser data, the progress is gone — that's how local storage works, and it's why the report page offers a backup code.
- The backup code is your child's progress encoded as text. It exists only where you paste it. Treat it like a note in a drawer: we never see it and cannot recover it for you.
- No analytics or tracking scripts run in the app. We don't watch sessions, record keystrokes, or profile your child. (Our web host, like every web host, keeps standard server logs of page requests.)
- Fonts load from Google Fonts, a standard practice that shares only an ordinary web request with that service. After your first visit, the app also works offline.
What we will never do
- Sell or share your child's data. Ever.
- Show ads to your child.
- Put a timer, a red X, or a grade label in front of your child.
- Make your child's struggles visible to anyone but you.
When accounts arrive
We're building optional family accounts so progress can sync between devices and siblings can each have their own trail. When that ships: it will be opt-in, controlled by the parent, storing only what the app needs (progress, not conversations or recordings), with a plain-English explanation and a one-tap way to delete everything. Nothing changes for you until you choose it.
What this program is — and isn't
A New Page Math is an educational program: story-based daily practice built on the principles used in structured math intervention — explicit teaching, visual models, number sense first, spaced review, and low-pressure practice.
It is not a diagnosis, a therapy, or a replacement for a specialist, a school evaluation, or an IEP. The free math check gives a friendly starting estimate so the first night begins at a kind level — that's all it claims to be.
When to seek more help
You know your child. That said, here's our honest guidance on when to bring in more support alongside (or before) any app:
- Persistent distress: if math time regularly ends in tears, panic, or refusal even in a low-pressure setting, talk to your school or a child psychologist about math anxiety support.
- Very slow progress: if weeks of consistent, calm practice produce almost no movement on foundational skills, ask the school for a formal evaluation. That pattern deserves professional eyes.
- Suspected dyscalculia: only a qualified professional can assess it (often an educational psychologist). A diagnosis can unlock real school accommodations — an evaluation is worth pursuing, and this program will still be here as the nightly practice layer.
- School concerns or an IEP: if your child has (or may need) an IEP or 504 plan, the school process is the main road. Our sister site, A New Story, offers free plain-English help for parents navigating exactly that.
Deleting everything
Because progress lives on your device, deleting it is fully in your control: clear this site's data in your browser settings, and it's gone. There is no copy anywhere else.
