Kidoc ("we", "us", "our") is a mobile application that helps parents discover fun, age-appropriate activities for their children using AI. We are committed to protecting your privacy and your children's information.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you sign up, we collect your email address and display name via Firebase Authentication (email/password or Google Sign-In).
Children's Profiles
You may voluntarily enter your children's names, birth dates, and interests. This data is stored locally on your device in a SQLite database and is never uploaded to any cloud server by us.
Activity & Usage Data
Activities generated for you are stored locally on your device. We track a count of how many AI activity generations you have used this month — this count is also stored locally.
Pantry Items
Items you add to your "My Pantry" list are stored locally on your device and are sent to our AI service solely to improve activity suggestions.
AI Generation Requests
When you ask Roo to generate an activity, your request parameters (child's age, mood, duration, category, and pantry items) are sent securely to our server-side Cloud Function, which calls Google Gemini. We do not store your request data on our servers after processing.
Subscription Data
If you purchase Kidoc Pro, your subscription is managed by RevenueCat. We do not store or process your payment information directly.
Crash Reports
We use Sentry to collect anonymous crash reports and error logs. No personal or children's data is included in crash reports.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To generate personalised AI activity ideas for your child via Roo
- To save and display your generated and completed activities
- To improve activity suggestions based on your pantry items
- To manage your monthly free activity quota and subscription status
- To improve app stability through anonymous crash reporting
- To authenticate you securely
3. Where Your Data Is Stored
- On Your Device: All personal data (children's names, birth dates, activities, pantry items, usage counts) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate a cloud database storing your personal information.
- Firebase Authentication: Your email and auth tokens are managed by Google Firebase. See Firebase Privacy Policy.
- AI Processing (Google Gemini): Requests are processed in real-time via our Cloud Function and not retained on our servers. See Google Cloud Privacy Notice.
- RevenueCat: Subscription data is managed by RevenueCat. See RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
- Sentry: Anonymous crash data. See Sentry Privacy Policy.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Kidoc is a tool for parents, not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Parents voluntarily enter their children's names and birth dates to personalise activity suggestions. This information is stored only on the parent's device and is never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately at the email below.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data is shared only with:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase | User authentication |
| Google Gemini (via our Cloud Function) | AI activity generation |
| RevenueCat | Subscription management |
| Sentry | Anonymous crash reporting |
6. Your Rights
- Delete Your Data: Use the "Clear All Data" option in Settings, or sign out and uninstall the app.
- Export: Share individual activities via the app's share feature.
- Account Deletion: Contact us at the email below. We will process your request within 30 days.
7. Security
- Secure HTTPS connections for all network requests
- Server-side API key management (keys are never exposed to the client)
- Firebase's industry-standard security for authentication tokens
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by updating the "Effective Date" above.
