Privacy policy
The short version
- We collect what we need to run makesomething, and nothing else.
- We don’t sell data, show ads or track you across other sites.
- You can see, download or delete your family’s data any time.
- Kids’ information has extra protection. See the Kids’ privacy notice.
Information from parents
Name, email, password and billing details. Card numbers are handled by our payment provider and never stored by us.
Information from kids
Covered in the Kids’ privacy notice. In short: first name, age, ideas and the things they make, and nothing that identifies them outside the app.
Cookies
Only the ones needed to keep you logged in and remember settings. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Service providers
We use a small number of providers for hosting, payments, email and AI processing. Each one is under contract to use data only to provide their service to us, and AI providers may not keep or train on it.
Your choices
Download everything from the Parent Center. Delete your account any time. Turn emails off in Email settings.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll email you before it takes effect.
