1. Information that stays on your device
Game progress, stars, coins, XP, trophies, kid profile nicknames, saved drawings, robots and settings are saved in your browser's local storage on your device. We don't receive them. Clearing your browser data deletes them.
2. Visitor counter
To count visits, our server turns your internet address (IP) into a one-way code mixed with a secret and the date. The raw IP address is never stored, and codes from different days can't be linked. We only keep totals (visits, people online, app installs).
3. Grown-up accounts and memberships
- What we keep: your username, a scrambled version of your password (we can never read your password), your email address (each email can be used for one account, which is how we make sure every family gets one free trial), when you signed up and when you agreed to our terms, your trial dates, and your membership status.
- Payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your payment details under its own privacy policy; we only receive a customer number, your membership status and renewal dates. We never see or store your full card number.
- To prevent repeated free trials, we keep a one-way code of the internet connection that started a trial for 30 days.
- We use a sign-in cookie (a random code) to keep you signed in for up to 30 days. It isn't used for tracking or ads.
4. Leaderboard (optional)
If a grown-up chooses to join the leaderboard, we store the name typed in (letters only; please use a first name or nickname, never a full name) and the XP score, linked to a random player code. You can leave the leaderboard at any time from the Trophies page, which deletes the name and score.
5. Contact form
Messages sent through our Contact page include what you write, an optional reply email, the page you came from and your browser type (to help fix bugs). They are stored so we can read and answer them, and may be emailed to our team.
6. Children's privacy
Purely Positive Kids is made for children ages 3 to 7 (and our classroom up to 5th grade), so we designed it to collect as little as possible. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children can play without an account; accounts, purchases, the leaderboard and the contact form are for grown-ups. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Services we use
- Vercel hosts the website (it processes standard web requests to deliver pages).
- Upstash stores account, counter, leaderboard and message data.
- Stripe processes membership payments.
- Google Fonts provides our font; your browser downloads it from Google.
- Links to YouTube open YouTube, which has its own privacy policy.
We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't share it for advertising.
8. How long we keep information
We keep account information while your account is open. Visitor codes are deleted within 2 days. You can ask us to delete your account and its information at any time; billing records may be kept as long as the law requires.
9. Your choices and rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you or your family, or close your account, by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR; we will honor them.
10. Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), scrambled (hashed) passwords and limits on sign-in attempts. No system is perfect, so please use a password you don't use anywhere else.
11. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and post a notice for important changes.
