Privacy

This app holds information about children, so it collects as little as it possibly can.

About your children, we store

That is the entire list.

We never collect

Children have no accounts

There is no child login, no child email address and no password for a child to lose. Children use the app on a family device while a grown-up is signed in. A 4-digit PIN keeps them out of the grown-up area.

Who can see it

Only the grown-ups you have invited into your family. The database itself refuses to answer anyone else — it is not merely that the app declines to show it.

Where it lives, and for how long

On servers in London. It stays until you delete it. Any grown-up in your family can erase the whole family — children, points, rewards and all — from the Family screen, and it goes immediately.

Counting visits

We count how many people open the app and which pages they use, so we know whether it is working. It uses no cookies, follows nobody between websites, and identifies no one.

Addresses that contain a child's id are shortened before they are counted, so the figures show that a child's page was opened without recording which child.

Grown-ups

For each grown-up we store a name and an email address, so you can sign in and the children can see who gave them points.

Written with the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code in mind: the least data we can manage, the most private settings by default, and no nudges designed to keep children using it.
