Privacy

How we handle your information in plain English for kids, parents, and teachers.

Our privacy promise

We collect the minimum data needed, explain it clearly, and never sell or share your information.

What we collect

You can read without an account. We keep the model simple:

  • Anonymous reading - articles are open to everyone, but reads and badges are not counted until sign-in.
  • Signed-in account data - name, email, role, family links, and synced reading progress in Supabase so linked parents can see real progress.

We do not collect school names, phone numbers, or behavior profiles about what you browse.

Privacy-safe analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count anonymous page views and understand whether people are finding the site. It does not use tracking cookies, identify readers, or build behavior profiles. We do not use fingerprinting.

No targeted ads to children

If ads ever appear, they will be contextual only and clearly labeled. We will never use behavior-based targeting or profiling aimed at children.

DPDP alignment

  • Purpose limitation - data is only used for the feature you chose.
  • Data minimisation - we keep the schema small and avoid unnecessary personal details.
  • Easy withdrawal - local browser data can be cleared, and signed-in families can delete synced account data.

This is not legal advice. For formal legal guidance, please speak to a qualified professional.

Deleting your data

Signed-in families can delete synced data from the dashboard. Clearing browser storage still removes any local session data on this device.
