Privacy, children's data and deletion

Help · Updated 18 August 2026

This is an app holding information about children, which sets the bar for what it's allowed to collect and how easily you can take it all back.

What KinHuddle stores

• Your account email and a hashed password — never the password itself.
• The names, chosen emoji and age band of the children on your board.
• The tasks you create, which days were ticked, and the points from them.
• Milestones you mark, rewards you claim, and anything you write in the win journal or the Night Cap.
• The country your account was created in, from the network edge, so the question "do we have accounts outside the regions we serve?" has an answer.

What it deliberately doesn't

• No photographs of anyone.
• No dates of birth — children have an age band, not a birthday.
• No location. The "adventures near me" feature asks your browser for a rough position at the moment you use it and doesn't keep it.
• No advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers, and no selling anything to anyone. There is no advertising in KinHuddle and there won't be.
• No card numbers — payment never touches a KinHuddle page.

Who can see your family's board

Only the logins you've invited. Every family's data is stored separately and every request is checked against the family it belongs to. Children don't have logins at all — Kid view is a mode of the grown-up's session, not an account.

Two logins are included free and Plus raises it to six. Anyone you invite as a helper can see the day and tick things off but can't change settings, invite others or touch billing.

Milestones are informational

The milestone library is age-banded and informed by public developmental guidance. It is there to celebrate things, not to assess anyone. KinHuddle does not assess, diagnose or treat anything, and a milestone not yet ticked means nothing at all — you can hide the age labels entirely in Family settings if they're unhelpful.

Getting your data out

Family settings → Download all my data gives you everything in your account as a file you keep. No request, no waiting, no email.

Deleting everything

Family settings → Delete account removes the family and all of its data permanently. It cannot be undone, and it is genuinely deletion rather than a flag on a row that stays in a database.

Backups

Every family's data is snapshotted nightly and kept for thirty days, so a bad write or an accidental wipe has a recovery path. Restores are never automatic — a human has to decide, and your current data is snapshotted first so an unwanted restore is itself reversible. Deleting your account removes you from this too.
