StarWise KidsPrivacy Policy
Last updated: June 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how StarWise Kids ("the app", "we", "us") handles information. The app is designed for families with children aged 6–12 and is operated by ygylabs. Questions? Email support@ygylabs.com.
Information stored on your device
By default, the app stores all of your family's information locally on the device, including habits, completed tasks, stars, rewards, and a child's display name that a parent enters. This information stays on the device and is not sent to us unless you enable an optional feature described below.
We do not collect personal information from children
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Any child-related information (such as a first name or nickname) is entered by a parent or guardian and is used only to operate the app's features. Child Mode is always ad-free, and we do not use children's information to target advertising.
Optional cloud sync (Family subscription)
If a parent enables the Family subscription with cloud sync, the app uses Google Firebase / Cloud Firestore to synchronize family data — habits, completed tasks, stars, rewards, and a child's display name — across the family's devices. This data is associated with your family's sync group and is used solely to keep your devices in sync. You can request deletion of cloud-synced data by emailing us at support@ygylabs.com. See Google's privacy practices at firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
In-app purchases and subscriptions
Purchases (such as the Family subscription or removing ads) are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Subscription status is managed through RevenueCat, which records a non-personal purchase identifier so the app knows which features you've unlocked. See RevenueCat's privacy policy, Apple's, and Google's.
Advertising (Parent Mode only)
Ads, when shown, appear only in Parent Mode and are never shown to children. Ads may be provided by Google AdMob. We configure ad requests as non-personalized where required for family apps. Learn more at Google's advertising policies. Parents can remove ads via in-app purchase.
Children's privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable children's data protection laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising or profiling. A parent or guardian controls the app through Parent Mode. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and deletion
Information stored on your device is removed when you delete the app. If you have used cloud sync, you can request deletion of cloud-synced data by emailing support@ygylabs.com; we will action it within a reasonable period.
International data transfers
If you use cloud sync, your data may be processed on Google's servers, which may be located outside your country. We rely on Google's safeguards for such transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
