KidUniversity Privacy Policy
Effective October 15, 2026
KidUniversity is a learning app for children in grades 2 to 8, run by Arron Pinkney ("we"). A parent or guardian creates the family account and adds each child. We collect as little as we can, we never sell data, and there are no ads in KidUniversity.
What we collect
- From the parent: an email address and a password. The password is stored only as a secure hash; we cannot read it.
- About each child, entered by the parent: a first name or nickname and a grade level. We suggest a nickname. We do not ask for a child's last name, birthday, photo, email address, location or contact details.
- Learning progress: which lessons and tests a child has finished and how many questions they got right.
- On the device only: which learner was last used and whether music and sound effects are on. This stays on the device.
What we don't do
- No advertising and no ad networks.
- No third-party analytics, tracking or profiling.
- No selling or sharing of personal information.
- No chat, messaging or way for children to share information with other people.
- No collection of location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
How we use it
Only to run the app: to sign the parent in, to show each child their lessons, and to remember what they've finished so they can pick up where they left off.
Where it's stored
Account and progress data are stored with our database provider, Convex, which processes it on our behalf and only to run the app. Data is encrypted in transit. Read-aloud in the Library uses the speech voice built into the device, so the text being read is not sent to us. Audiobooks in the Library are streamed from the Internet Archive, which receives the device's network address when a recording plays, as with any website.
Children's privacy (COPPA)
We designed KidUniversity so that a parent sets up and controls the account. Children cannot create accounts, and the settings, account actions and any links that leave the app sit behind a grown-ups-only check. A parent can review, change or delete their child's information at any time, as described below.
Your choices: review, change or delete
- Change a child's grade or remove a child: open Grown-ups in the app.
- Delete everything: open Grown-ups and choose Delete account. This permanently deletes the parent account, every child profile and all progress right away.
- You can also email us at support@kiduniversity.net and we'll do it for you.
How long we keep it
Until you delete a child or the account. Deleted data is removed from our database immediately. We don't keep separate backup copies.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for important changes, tell parents in the app before they take effect.
