Kiddoh Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 8, 2026
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Kiddoh helps parents of young children find things to do: story times, classes, and playgrounds nearby, simple play ideas for home, and a community of parents with children the same age. This policy explains what we collect, why, who it's shared with, and the choices you have.
Kiddoh is operated by Philip Weltman ("Kiddoh", "we", "us"). Questions: privacy@heykiddoh.com.
The short version
- We collect only what Kiddoh needs to work.
- We never sell your information or use it for advertising. There are no ads in Kiddoh.
- We never send your child's name, your name, or where you live to our AI provider.
- Other parents see only your display name and what you post in your group.
- You can delete your account in the app at any time, and everything you've entered or written is deleted with it.
Who Kiddoh is for
Kiddoh is for parents and caregivers aged 18 or older. Children don't create accounts or use Kiddoh. Parents choose what to tell us about their own children, as described below.
What we collect
Your account
- Email address and password (passwords are stored only in encrypted, hashed form; we can't read them).
- The display name you choose, which other parents see in Community.
About your child or children (entered by you)
- A nickname (optional), shown only to you.
- Birth month and year, used to suggest age-appropriate activities and to place you in the right Community group. We never ask for a full date of birth.
- Interests you pick from a list (for example Music or Books).
About your home and preferences
- Your ZIP code, used to find nearby activities and today's weather.
- If you choose "Use my current location", your phone's location is used once to find the nearest ZIP code Kiddoh covers. We don't store the location itself, only the ZIP code.
- Home type, indoor and outdoor play space, indoor or outdoor preference, and budget, used to tailor ideas.
What you do in Kiddoh
- Listings and ideas you save, and the ideas we've shown you (so we don't repeat them).
- In Community: the groups you join, your posts and replies, people you block, and reports you make.
- Feedback you send us.
- Simple usage counts, such as which days you open the app, whether you opened a listing or tapped "Directions", and whether Nearby showed results. These record only the type of action and your account, never what you wrote, your child's details, or your location. We use them to understand whether Kiddoh is useful during the beta.
We don't collect contacts, photos, or precise location history, and we don't use advertising or third-party tracking tools.
How we use it
- To run Kiddoh: show nearby activities, tailor ideas to your child's age and your space, and run Community.
- To keep Community safe: review reports, remove posts that break the Community Guidelines, and suspend accounts when needed.
- To send account emails, such as confirming your email address or resetting your password. We don't send marketing emails.
- To improve Kiddoh, using the usage counts and feedback described above.
- To prevent abuse and keep costs under control (for example, limits on how many ideas can be requested each day).
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help run Kiddoh, and only what each one needs:
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Hosts Kiddoh's database, accounts, and servers (in the United States) | Everything Kiddoh stores, kept on our behalf |
| Anthropic | Writes the "Ideas for home" suggestions using AI | Your child's age in months, chosen interests, your space and preferences, the season, and today's weather conditions. Never names, your email, your ZIP code, or your location |
| National Weather Service | Provides today's forecast | The central point of your ZIP code area, with no account information |
| Resend | Sends account emails | Your email address and the email's content |
| Apple | Distributes the app (App Store and TestFlight) | What Apple collects under its own policies |
When you tap Directions or View on organizer's site, Kiddoh opens Apple Maps or the organizer's website. What you do there is covered by their privacy policies, not ours.
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect someone's safety. If Kiddoh is ever transferred to a new owner, this policy would continue to apply to information collected under it, and we'd tell you before anything changed.
What other parents can see
In Community, members of your group see your display name, your posts and replies, and when you posted. They don't see your email, your child's nickname or birthday, your ZIP code, or anything else from your profile. Groups are visible only to their members. Please don't share your child's full name, photos, school, or your address in posts.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account (Profile → Delete account), we delete your profile, children's details, settings, saved items, idea history, group memberships, posts and replies, blocks, reports you made, and feedback.
We keep two kinds of anonymous records after deletion, with your account link removed: AI cost records (used to track our spending) and usage counts. These contain no personal details, and we delete them after 2 years at most.
Backups held by our hosting provider may keep deleted data for a short period before it's overwritten.
Your choices and rights
- See or correct your information in the app (Profile), or ask us at privacy@heykiddoh.com.
- Delete your account and its data at any time in the app, or by emailing us from your account's email address.
- Location: you can always enter a ZIP code instead of using your phone's location.
- Children's information: you can edit or remove a child's details in Profile at any time.
We'll respond to requests within 30 days.
Security
Information is encrypted in transit. Each parent's information is protected by access rules in our database, so parents can see only their own details and their own groups, and these rules are tested automatically. Private keys stay on our servers, never in the app. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach that affects you, we'll tell you as the law requires.
Changes to this policy
If we make important changes, we'll tell you in the app before they take effect. The date at the top shows when this policy last changed.
