Privacy Policy

HabitHero Kids is a learning app for children aged 4–6. It is run by one grown-up per family, and every child's information stays inside that family's account. We do not show ads, we do not sell data, and we do not build advertising profiles. Children never sign themselves up; a parent or guardian creates the account and consenting to this policy is part of that.

A child cannot create an account. The account belongs to a parent or guardian aged 18 or over, who signs up with an email address and a password (or with Google, Microsoft, Facebook or Apple sign-in). We keep that email for login, for account emails such as verification and password resets, and for the weekly progress digest, which you can stop at any time.

Only what the app needs to work: a first name, an age between 4 and 6, a chosen emoji avatar, a colour theme, and — if the parent sets one — a four-digit code the child uses to sign in. We do not ask for a surname, a photograph, an address, a phone number or a school.

As a child plays we record the lessons finished, stars, points, badges, which daily habits were ticked and on which day, which questions were answered wrongly (so they can be offered again for practice), and when each of those things happened. Parents can also set a weekly lesson goal and a daily lesson limit, which are stored on the child's profile.

On some story pages a child can record themselves reading aloud. This only happens when the record button is pressed, and a child is never recorded in the background. Recordings are stored privately — they are not public, have no shareable link, and can only be played back from inside the family's own account. We also store which story and page the recording belongs to and how long it is. Ask us and we will delete any recording, or all of them.

Point packs are bought by the grown-up from the parent area. We record what was bought, the amount and currency, which child the points were credited to, and a receipt reference. Card details are entered on the payment provider's own secure checkout page; they are never entered into, seen or stored by this app.

Family records are tied to the account that created them. Another family using the app cannot read your children's profiles, progress, habits, points or recordings, and cannot change them. The people who run the app can access data when needed to operate and support the service, and the payment provider processes payment details to take and settle a purchase.

Live races are the one shared space: if a child joins a race, their first name and avatar can be seen by the other children in that race. No progress, habits or recordings are shared.

No advertising, no selling or renting personal information, no behavioural or advertising profiling, and no third-party advertising or tracking pixels inside the child's play area.

By creating the account you confirm you are the child's parent or guardian, or that you have their parent's or guardian's permission, and you consent to the information described above being stored so the child can use the app. You can withdraw that consent at any time.

You can ask to see, correct or delete anything held about your child — profile, progress, habits, points history or recordings — and we will do it. You can also turn off the weekly digest.

Progress and profile information is kept while the account is open so the child's garden, badges and streaks stay intact. When you ask for the account or a child's profile to be deleted, the related progress, habits and recordings go with it. Purchase receipts may be kept longer where tax or accounting rules require it.

Data is encrypted in transit, recordings are held in private storage, and access is limited to the family that owns the record. No service can promise perfect security, but if anything ever went wrong we would tell affected account holders.

If this policy changes in a meaningful way we will tell account holders by email. Questions, deletion requests and anything else: contact us at support@habithero.com.
