Effective date: February 25, 2026 · Version 2026-02-25
This is a simplified summary of how KudoKids handles your child's data. For complete details, please read our full Privacy Policy.
Who We Are

What Information We Collect from Children
KudoKids is designed for children ages 3-12. We collect the following categories of information, all of which require your consent first:
Required for Core Features
- Name and age -- provided by you (the parent), not the child
- Activity data -- task completions, Kudo Coin earnings/spending, game scores
- Device tokens -- for push notifications (a persistent identifier under COPPA)
- Masked error recordings -- when technical errors occur, a privacy-protected recording of the app screen may be captured. All text, images, and personal content are automatically masked (replaced with blank placeholders) before leaving the device. Only screen layout and tap patterns are recorded to help us fix bugs. This is collected under COPPA's internal operations exception and does not require separate consent.
Optional (You Choose)
- Wellness data -- emotion check-ins, personality surveys, meditation sessions
- Social data -- friend usernames, messages between friends, leaderboard participation
- Speech recognition -- processed by Apple or Google on-device; we do not store audio
How We Use This Information
- To operate the app -- tracking chores, managing rewards, running games
- To adjust content for your child's age
- To provide you with reports on your child's activity and progress
- To filter messages for safety (automated content screening)
We do NOT use your child's data for advertising, behavioral targeting, or commercial profiling. We do not sell children's data. We do not display ads to children.
Who Receives This Information
- Supabase -- hosts our database and handles authentication
- Expo -- delivers push notifications (receives device tokens)
- Stripe -- processes parent payments only; no child data is sent to Stripe
- Apple / Google -- speech recognition processing (if used)
If social features are enabled, your child's friend alias and messages are visible to approved friends and their parents.
