Procurement file

What your reviewer may ask for.

Deployment

Apple School Manager licensing, MDM assignment, iCloud Drive decisions, and a simple preflight test.

Open →

Privacy

The current apps do not collect user data for Polished Play; created books use Apple’s iCloud document path.

Open →

Security

A plain-language map of the app’s data flow, controls, and current risk posture.

Open →

Accessibility

An interim disclosure: evaluation is in progress and no conformance claim or VPAT is currently available.

A practical recommendation

Test the assignment, not just the launch screen.

Before a larger purchase, build a short sample book on the same device type, account configuration, and network your students will use.

If accessibility is a procurement requirement, include the actual assistive technology and student workflow in that evaluation. Book Builder is not currently represented as fully accessible.

Next step
