Privacy policy

Who we are

Kids Education (“we”, “us”) runs this website, which offers learning activities for young children to parents, teachers and caregivers. We are the “controller” of the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us through our contact form or at [email protected].

Adults only and children's privacy

Our activities are made for children, but our website and accounts are made for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account, and we ask you to confirm this when you sign up. Children should use our activities with a parent, teacher or caregiver, on paper or on the adult's device.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), in line with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws. Please do not enter a child's full name, photo, school or other identifying details into activities, uploads or messages. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

What we collect

Information you give us

• Account details: email address, a password (stored only as a secure hash), and optionally a display name, first name, your role (parent, teacher…) and preferred content language.
• Your choices: whether you want our newsletter, and your saved activities, collections and weekly plans.
• Things you create: the activities you build and save, and any prompts or AI pictures you create with our AI features.
• Images you upload.
• Messages you send us through the contact form.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit, recorded in server logs for security and troubleshooting.
• Usage of AI features (what action and when), so we can prevent abuse.
• Cookies and similar technologies, described below.

Information from others

• If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address and profile identifier with us.

How we use it

• To provide the service — create and secure your account, save your work and run the site's features (necessary to perform our contract with you).
• To keep the site safe and fair — prevent fraud, spam and abuse, and fix problems (our legitimate interests).
• To talk to you — send account emails and answer your messages. We send newsletters only if you opted in, and every newsletter has an unsubscribe link (consent).
• To fund free content — show ads, personalised only with your consent.
• To improve — understand which activities are popular, using aggregated statistics (consent where required).
• To comply with the law — for example tax and accounting rules, and lawful requests from authorities.

Cookies and your consent

Cookies are small files your browser stores for a website. We use three kinds:

• Essential — keep you signed in, protect forms against forgery (CSRF) and remember your cookie choice. These are always on because the site does not work without them.
• Advertising — set by Google AdSense to show and measure ads.
• Analytics — help us count visits and see which pages are useful.

In the European Union and the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada and other countries whose law asks for consent first, a banner asks for your choice when you first visit: we load advertising and analytics cookies only if you choose “Accept all”, and never with “Essential only”.

In other countries these cookies are on by default and the banner tells you so; choose “Essential only” to turn them off. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as “Essential only”. When we cannot tell your country, we ask first.

Your choice is saved in your browser. You can change it at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

Advertising

Free pages may show ads from Google AdSense. Without your consent, Google may still show non-personalised ads, which use limited data such as your approximate location and the page you are viewing. Personalised ads, based on your interests and browsing on other sites, are shown only after you click “Accept all”. We do not allow ads that target children based on their behaviour.

Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and manage ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.

Analytics

We may use a privacy-friendly analytics service to count page views. If we use a service that sets cookies, such as Google Analytics, it is loaded only after you click “Accept all”, and IP addresses are anonymised. Analytics are optional and you can turn them off by choosing “Essential only”.

AI features

When you use our AI features, we send what you type (for example, the age, topic and your notes) and the activity you are editing to our AI providers so they can generate ideas, text and pictures:

• Anthropic, PBC — writes activity ideas and text.
• OpenAI, L.L.C. — creates pictures.

We do not include your name or email address in these requests. Under their business terms, these providers may not use it to train their models and may keep it only for a limited time to detect misuse. We store your prompts and the results with your account so you can come back to your work, and we keep a record of each AI action to prevent abuse. AI pictures are saved in the image bank; once reviewed by our team they join the shared community library (see our terms). Please do not include personal details about children or anyone else in your prompts.

Images you upload

Pictures you upload to use in activities are private to your account unless you choose to share them. Only upload images you have the right to use, and do not upload photos in which children can be identified. We may review images to keep the service safe and remove any that break our terms.

Who we share data with

We share personal information only with:

• Service providers who help us run the site — hosting, email delivery, error monitoring, sign-in, ads and analytics (Google) and AI (Anthropic, OpenAI). They may use the data only to provide their service to us.
• Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect the safety of children, our users or the public.
• A buyer or successor, if our business is ever sold or merged; this policy would continue to protect your data.

We do not sell your personal information. Personalised advertising may count as “sharing” under some U.S. state laws; it only happens if you click “Accept all”, and you can opt out at any time by choosing “Essential only”.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. When we transfer personal information out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

How long we keep data

• Account data and the things you create: while your account is open. When you delete your account we erase them within 30 days, and from backups within a further 35 days.
• AI usage records: while your account is open, and deleted with it.
• Server logs: up to 90 days, unless needed to investigate abuse.
• Contact messages: up to 2 years after we last hear from you.
• Pictures that joined the community library stay available to others after your account is deleted, without your name.

Your rights (GDPR and CCPA)

Depending on where you live, including under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to:

• know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy (access and portability);
• correct information that is wrong;
• have your information deleted;
• object to or restrict certain uses, and withdraw consent at any time (for example, for newsletters or personalised ads);
• opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (we do not sell it);
• not be treated differently for exercising your rights;
• complain to your local data protection authority.

You can update most information yourself in your account settings. For anything else, contact us and choose “Privacy or data request”. We may ask you to confirm your identity, for example by writing from the email address on your account. We answer within one month (45 days for CCPA requests), and you may use an authorised agent where the law allows.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account. This removes your profile, private activities, private uploads, saved collections, weekly plans and AI usage history. Activities or pictures you shared publicly may remain available without your name.

Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed passwords, access controls and regular updates. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password. If we learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site grows. We will change the “Last updated” date above and, for important changes, let you know by email or with a notice on the site before they take effect.
