Privacy Policy

KidoNest ("we", "us", or "our") provides a mobile app and related services that help parents approve content and manage a safer viewing experience for children. Our website is kido-nest.fun.

Parent account information: name, email address, authentication identifiers (including Firebase user IDs), subscription status, and settings you choose in the app.

Child profile information: profile name, avatar, interests, viewing history, favorites, and parent-approved assignments created by the parent account.

Contact details you submit: if you request a channel, playlist, or video, we collect the email address or phone number you provide so we can contact you about that request.

Device or other IDs: identifiers tied to the app install or device that our service providers use to sign you in, prevent fraud, and operate playback. This includes Firebase app/installation identifiers sent to Google for authentication, and device fingerprinting data sent to Stripe when you subscribe. YouTube playback in the app may also send identifiers to Google.

Approximate location: at sign-up we look up a country from your IP address (via ipapi.co) so we can set account region. We do not collect precise GPS location.

Installed apps: if you use parental app blocking, we read the list of apps on the device and store the package names you choose to block on our servers so the block list can sync to that child profile.

App activity: watch progress, favorites, search queries in Discover, and other in-app actions needed to run parent-approved viewing.

Diagnostics: technical logs (device type, OS, IP address, and error details) needed to operate, secure, and debug the service.

Payment information: subscription purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Stripe collects payment details and related fraud-prevention data as an independent payment processor.

Waitlist and support requests: email address and any message you submit through our website forms.

We use personal information to:

• create and manage parent and child profiles;
• authenticate users and keep accounts secure;
• deliver parent-approved videos and app features;
• process subscriptions and provide customer support;
• improve performance, reliability, and safety;
• comply with legal obligations.

KidoNest is designed for use by families under parental supervision. Child profiles are created and managed by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without parental involvement.

Parents control which content is available, can manage child profiles, and may request deletion of account data at any time.

We share information with service providers that help us run KidoNest, including:

• Firebase / Google — authentication, account identifiers, and in-app YouTube playback;
• Stripe — subscription billing and fraud prevention (including device identifiers);
• ipapi.co — IP-based country lookup at account creation;
• cloud hosting and media storage providers that host our API and video files.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use collected data for advertising or tracking across other apps. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect users, our rights, or the security of the service.

We keep account information while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward where needed for legal, security, or billing purposes. When you request account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data unless we must retain certain records by law.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information. Parents can update profile details in the app and may request account deletion at any time.

To request deletion of your KidoNest account and associated data, visit our account deletion page.

KidoNest may process and store information in countries other than your own. By using the service, you understand that your information may be transferred to facilities located outside your country of residence.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of KidoNest after an update means you accept the revised policy.
