Children's Privacy Notice

This notice is for parents and guardians. It explains what YubiKids collects about children under 13 (and under the age of digital consent in your country), how we use it, and your rights. It is part of our Privacy Policy.

Our approach

YubiKids is designed for children, so we built it to collect as little as possible:

• Children do not have accounts. A parent or guardian creates a profile for each child.
• Children cannot chat, send messages, share publicly, or type text that leaves their device.
• There are no ads and no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code in the app.
• We never sell children’s information or use it for advertising.

Consent comes first

Before you create a child profile, we show you this notice and ask for your consent. We record when you consented and which version of the notice you saw. To confirm consent we send an email to your address and complete confirmation after a short delay. If this notice changes in an important way, we ask you to consent again.

What we collect about your child

Information	How we get it	Why
Nickname or avatar name, avatar choice	You enter it	To show the right profile on the device
Birth year and month (not the day)	You enter it	To pick an age-appropriate level
Language	You choose it	To show the right language
Learning progress	Created as your child plays	To choose the next activity and show you progress
Screen-time usage	Created as your child plays	To enforce the limits you set
Drawings	Created by your child	Kept only on the device unless you turn on cloud backup

We also process technical information needed to run the app safely (app version, device type, language, the country from the network connection, and a cryptographic key for the device). Analytics events are pseudonymous and sent only to our own servers.

We do not collect your child’s full name, photo, voice, contacts, school, address, precise location or advertising identifier.

Why drawings get extra care

Children sometimes draw faces or write names, so we treat drawings as personal information. By default they never leave the device. If you turn on cloud backup, drawings are stored privately, can only be opened through short-lived links, and you can delete any drawing at any time.

How we use it

Only to provide YubiKids to your family: choosing activities, enforcing screen-time rules, syncing between your devices, producing your reports, keeping the service secure, and fixing errors.

If you turn on the optional AI-written weekly summary, only aggregated skill scores are used. Your child’s nickname and drawings are never sent.

Who sees it

• Your family: guardians in your family account can see your children’s profiles, progress and (if backup is on) drawings.
• Our service providers: companies that host and run our service on our behalf, under contract, and only for that purpose (for example, Cloudflare for hosting and storage).
• No one else. We do not disclose children’s information to third parties for their own use. If we ever wanted to, we would first ask for your separate consent.

How long we keep it

Detailed learning events are kept for 13 months and detailed screen-time records for 90 days. Profile information and summaries are kept while your account exists. When you delete a profile or your account, we delete the personal information within 30 days. Purchase records (which do not contain children’s information) are kept as tax law requires.

Your rights as a parent

You can, at any time:

• Review your child’s profile and progress in the app.
• Correct profile details in the app.
• Export all your family’s data from the app.
• Delete a child profile or your whole account from the app.
• Refuse further collection by deleting the profile. We then stop collecting information about that child.

You can also email privacy@yubikids.com and we will respond as required by law. We will verify that you are the parent or guardian on the account before acting.
