Rough draft for legal review. It is not final and is not legal advice. Items in [brackets] are still to be decided.

Who we are
WizKidsFamily is a family app for daily micro-learning and chores, for kids aged 3 to 17. It is in a closed beta for invited families in the United States. Only parents and legal guardians have accounts. Kids never create accounts; a parent creates each kid's profile. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have, including your rights under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
What we collect from parents
Your name, email address and password (stored by our sign-in provider, never in plain text); your signed parental consent (the name you typed, the date and the form version); your family's time zone; and the settings you choose, such as chores, daily amounts, goals and weekly plan approvals.
What we collect about your kids
A first name or nickname, an age (never a birthday or birth year), an optional grade, and interests and focus areas you pick. While your kid uses WizKidsFamily we record learning activity (which cards were shown, answers, time spent and progress), chores they mark done, and their weekly pot, stars and goals. Each kid's 5-digit code is stored only as a one-way hash. Kids aged 13 and up can type short free-text answers.
What we don't do
No ads, no selling or renting of personal information, and no tracking for advertising. We don't collect kids' photos, location, contacts or voice recordings. Kids cannot chat openly with an AI, and kid mode has no links out of the app. Kids are paid for finishing, never for correct answers, and XP never turns into money. Kid mode is never measured: no analytics of any kind runs on a kid's screens.
How we use information
To build each kid's daily deck, schedule reviews so learning sticks, check answers, track chores and the weekly pot, draft weekly learning plans for you to approve, keep the service secure, and fix problems. We use aggregated, de-identified numbers (like how many cards were finished) to improve the content.
AI services
Some features use AI models through Vercel AI Gateway: Kimi (Moonshot AI) and Claude (Anthropic) to write and fact-check learning cards and draft weekly plans, and Jev (TypeSafe AI) to check free-text answers and rank content. We never send a kid's name or photo to a model. Before any typed text reaches a model, our code removes phone numbers, email addresses and street addresses. Plans are built from age band, interests and skill levels, not identity. We request zero data retention from these providers [confirmation pending for each provider].
Where it's stored and how it's protected
Data is stored with Supabase in the United States and the app runs on Vercel. Data is encrypted in transit. Each family's rows are walled off from other families by database row-level security. Kid codes are hashed, and five wrong tries lock a profile until you reset it. On parents' and creators' screens we count page views with Vercel's cookieless analytics, which sets no cookies and builds no profiles; the page address is recorded without anything after the '?', so invite codes and kid links never leave your browser.
Who we share it with
Only the service providers named above, and only to run WizKidsFamily. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect a child's safety. If WizKidsFamily is ever sold or merged, this policy continues to apply, and we will tell you first.
Your rights and choices
You can review and change your kids' information at any time in the Kids tab. You can revoke consent and delete your family, including every kid profile, history and your account, from Kids → Delete family and all data. Deletion is immediate in the app; copies in backups are removed within [30] days. You can also ask us to review, change or delete information by contacting us below.
How long we keep it
As long as your family account is open. The money ledger and learning history are kept so you can look back; they are deleted with your family. [Inactive-account deletion period to be decided.]
During the beta
Every free-text answer is checked for safety, first by code and then by Jev. If an answer suggests a kid may be in distress, the kid sees a calm support message with free helplines and you get a private alert in the app with the masked answer. Other answers are never shown to you or anyone else. Kids under 13 cannot type open free-text answers in this beta.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy in a way that affects your kids' information, we will tell you and ask for consent again where the law requires. Questions or requests: [privacy contact email], [company name and mailing address].
