How we protect your family's privacy
Here's the short version — no legalese.
We only collect what's needed: First name or nickname, age, and conversations with our AI chatbot.
We use it to keep things safe: Age-appropriate AI responses, weekly summary emails, and real-time email alerts for you. That's it.
We never sell data, show ads, or train AI on conversations. No third-party sharing except as required by law.
You're always in control: Review data, delete it, or close the account anytime from your dashboard.

- Legal Compliance: Respond to law enforcement requests when legally required
We do NOT use children's information for:
- Behavioral advertising or targeted marketing
- Building user profiles for advertising
- Any purpose not disclosed to parents
Information Sharing & Disclosure
We do NOT sell, rent, or share children's personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We DO share information with:
1. Service Providers who help us operate the service:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Data storage and hosting
- OpenAI: AI processing (data is processed under strict data processing agreements)
- Resend: Sending parental communications
- Twilio: Sending parental communications
- Stripe: Payment processing
All service providers are contractually required to protect children's information and may only use it to provide services to us.
2. Legal Requirements:
We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect safety.
3. Business Transfer:
If we merge with or are acquired by another company, children's information may transfer (we will notify parents and obtain new consent if required).
Parent's Choice:
You may consent to our collection and use of your child's information WITHOUT consenting to disclosure to third parties. However, this may limit functionality since we rely on service providers (cloud hosting, AI processing) to operate the service. Contact us to discuss options.
Verifiable Parental Consent
BEFORE
we collect, use, or disclose personal information from your child, we require verifiable parental consent. Here's our process:
Step 1 - Direct Notice to Parents:
When a parent attempts to register, we collect ONLY the parent's email address and phone number. We immediately send parents direct notice via email and text explaining:
- What information we collect from children
- How we use and share it
- Parental rights and options
- How to provide consent
Step 2 - Obtain Consent:
Parents must provide consent using ONE of these methods:
- Credit/Debit Card Verification (small authorization charge of $0.50, immediately refunded)
- Government ID Upload (we verify ID then immediately delete it)
Step 3 - Confirmation:
Once verified, we send confirmation and your child's account is activated.
No Collection Before Consent:
We do NOT activate accounts or collect any information beyond the parent's email and phone number until consent is verified.
Parental Rights & Access
Parents have the following rights at any time:
- Review Information: Request to review all personal information we've collected from your child
- Delete Account: Request deletion of your child's account and all associated data
- Refuse Further Collection: Revoke consent and stop any further collection or use
- Correct Information: Update or correct any inaccurate information
- Receive Copy: Obtain a downloadable copy of all your child's data
To Exercise Rights:
Email: privacy@mydd.ai with subject "COPPA Parent Request"
We will respond within 10 business days. We may require identity verification to prevent unauthorized access.
Limitations:
We cannot delete information required for legal compliance, security purposes, or to complete transactions your child initiated.
Data Retention
We retain children's personal information only as long as necessary:
- Active Accounts: Information retained while account is active
- After Account Deletion: Most information deleted within 30 days
- Backup Systems: Information in backups deleted within 90 days
- Legal Requirements: Some information retained longer if legally required (e.g., chat logs with safety concerns may be retained for child protection investigations)
Anonymized/aggregated data (that cannot identify your child) may be retained indefinitely for research and improvement.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures including:
- Encryption: All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
- Access Controls: Strict employee access controls; only authorized personnel access children's data
- Security Monitoring: 24/7 monitoring for unauthorized access or breaches
- Regular Audits: Annual third-party security audits
- Staff Training: All employees complete COPPA and child safety training
- Incident Response: Documented procedures for data breaches
Despite these measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Parents should supervise children's online activities.
No Conditioning on Excessive Collection
We do NOT require children to provide more information than reasonably necessary to participate in our service. Children can use basic features with only a nickname and birth year.
Support for Parental Control Tools
We support common parental control software and settings. Our service is designed to work with filtering tools, and we provide guidance for parents on enabling additional protections.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to how we collect, use, or share children's information, we will:
- Update this disclosure with the new Last Updated date
- Email all parents directly
- Obtain new verifiable parental consent if required by law
