Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Child Board collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Child Board mobile application.
Summary
Child Board helps parents, caregivers, teachers, and families create simple visual boards for routines, tasks, and rewards. We collect only the information needed to provide account login, board sync, image storage, sharing, and notifications.
Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Email address, Firebase user ID, login status, account metadata. | To create and secure your account, sign you in, sync your boards, and support account recovery. |
| Board content | Board titles, board settings, image slot count, crossed/completed states, board order, bonus settings, sharing roles, and share codes. | To save, display, sync, reorder, edit, share, and restore your boards. |
| User-selected images | Images you choose from your device gallery for board cards, covers, or rewards. | To display the images on your boards and sync them to your account or shared board members. |
| Notification data | Firebase Cloud Messaging token, notification permission status, platform, and notification request records. | To send optional push notifications about shared board updates. |
| Technical data | Basic app/platform data generated by Firebase services, such as service identifiers, timestamps, and error/status fields. | To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and maintain the app. |
Child Board does not intentionally collect precise location, contacts, calendar data, health data, payment card data, or government identifiers.
Images and Child-Related Content
Child Board is designed for family and care routines, so you may choose to upload images that include a child, a family member, a classroom item, or a personal routine. These images are selected by you from your device gallery. Please upload only images that you have the right and permission to use.
The app is intended for use by adults, parents, guardians, caregivers, and educators. Children should not create accounts or upload personal information without permission from a parent, guardian, or responsible adult.
How We Use Information
- To create, authenticate, and manage user accounts.
- To save and sync boards, board order, images, and completion states.
- To let you share boards using edit or view sharing codes.
- To send optional notifications about shared board changes.
- To protect the app from misuse and keep cloud data tied to the correct user account.
- To provide support, troubleshoot issues, and improve reliability.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following limited situations:
- With people you choose to share with: If you share a board code, the recipient may be able to view or edit that board depending on the code type.
- With service providers: The app uses Google Firebase services for authentication, cloud database storage, file storage, cloud functions, and push messaging.
- For legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, security investigation, or to protect rights, safety, and service integrity.
Third-Party Services
Child Board uses Firebase services provided by Google, including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Storage, Cloud Functions, and Firebase Cloud Messaging. These services process information needed to operate the app.

Data Retention
We keep your account information, boards, images, sharing records, board order, and notification tokens for as long as needed to provide the app or until you delete your account or request deletion, unless a longer retention period is required by law, security, backup, or dispute-resolution needs.
Backup copies and service logs may remain for a limited period before they are deleted or overwritten through normal system processes.
Your Choices and Rights
- Access and update: You can update board content directly in the app.
- Delete boards: You can delete boards you own or remove shared boards from your account.
- Notifications: You can allow or deny push notifications in your device settings.
- Account deletion: You can use the account deletion option in the app profile screen or contact us to request deletion of account-related cloud data.
- Privacy requests: Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing of your personal information.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your account before completing a request.
Security
We use Firebase security features, authenticated access, and cloud security controls to help protect your information. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Firebase and other service providers may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate legal bases and service-provider terms for these transfers.
Children's Privacy
Child Board may be used by adults to support children's routines, but the app account should be managed by an adult. We do not knowingly ask children to create accounts or provide personal information directly. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above. If the changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the app or on our website.
