Privacy Policy

1. Who sets up an account

Accounts are created by a parent or guardian, not by children. During sign-up we ask for a username and a passcode. We do not require an email address, phone number, or other direct identifier to use the app. Passcodes are hashed before they are stored and are never kept in plain text.

2. Information we collect

Account information

• The username and hashed passcode you choose when creating a profile.

Content you and your child create

• Child display names or nicknames you choose to enter.
• Avatar and character customization choices.
• Routines, tasks, chores, stars earned, and reward preferences.

Usage & technical information

• Basic analytics (page views and general usage trends) collected via Umami, Google Analytics, and Ahrefs Analytics. We do not send child names, task titles, custom reward text, or other family-created profile content to any analytics service.
• Advertising conversion measurement via Google Ads and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, used to understand whether our parent-facing ads lead to visits or sign-ups. We do not send child names, task titles, custom reward text, or other family-created profile content to Google Ads or Meta, and consent signals (Google Consent Mode) are respected where required.
• Standard technical data such as browser type and device screen size, used only to make the app work well.

3. Children's privacy

Star Chart is intended to be set up and supervised by a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children, and we do not require children to provide any identifying information themselves. Any names or details entered for a child profile are provided voluntarily by the parent or guardian and are used only to personalize the routine experience.

If you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us using the details below and we will delete it promptly.

4. Where information is stored

Routine data can be stored locally on your device (browser storage) and, if you create an online account, synced to a secured hosted database so your data is available across devices. We use industry-standard providers for hosting and do not sell or rent your data to third parties.

5. How we use information

• To operate and improve the core routine, reward, and avatar features.
• To keep your account and your child's profile secure.
• To understand aggregate usage trends so we can fix bugs and prioritize improvements.
• To measure the effectiveness of parent-facing advertising without using children's profile content for ads.

We do not run third-party ad networks in the app, and we do not use children's routine, reward, or profile content for behavioral advertising.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the app (such as hosting and privacy-respecting analytics), and only to the extent needed for them to provide that service, or where required by law.

7. Data retention & deletion

We retain account and profile data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. We will remove it within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

8. Your choices

• You can edit or remove routine, task, and avatar data from within the app at any time.
• You can request a copy or deletion of your data by contacting us.
• You can stop using the app at any time; local data can be cleared from your browser settings.
• Where required, Google Consent Mode is used to communicate advertising and analytics consent choices to Google.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including passcode hashing and access controls on our hosted database, to protect information. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
