The short version
HAPPI KIDS collects no personal information. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Everything your family creates stays on your device.
No account or sign-in
HAPPI KIDS has no accounts and no sign-in. We never ask for an email address, phone number, address or anyone’s real identity.
What stays on your device
The app keeps a few things on the device so it can work. They are stored on the device only and are never sent to us or to anyone else:
- Each child’s first name or nickname, age, and an optional “girl / boy / prefer not to say” choice. That choice only picks the avatar’s starting look.
- Avatar choices, progress, stars, stickers and badges.
- A play log (games played, time spent, right answers), used only for the weekly report in the parent area.
- Drawings and coloured pages. They stay inside the app, unless a parent chooses to save one to the device. They are never sent to us.
- Parent settings and the optional parent PIN, which is stored scrambled.
HAPPISOFT cannot see any of this.
Microphone (optional, off by default)
“Happi listens” follows along while a child reads aloud, using the device’s built-in offline speech recognition. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent. The app asks for microphone permission only if a parent turns this feature on, and it can be turned off at any time.
Internet
The app only connects to happikids.happisoft.ca to download new games, stories and pictures. No personal information or identifiers are sent. As with any website, our hosting service (Cloudflare) briefly handles the device’s IP address to deliver the files. We don’t use it to identify anyone.
No advertising or tracking
HAPPI KIDS has no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting, no social features, no chat, no third-party trackers and no links out of the app on children’s screens.
Optional tips
Parents can leave an optional tip from the parent area, behind the parent gate. Tips are processed entirely by Apple or Google under their own policies. We never receive payment details. Tips unlock nothing.
Parent gate
The parent area is protected by a parent gate: a PIN, or a grown-up math question.
Your control
You can delete a child’s profile in the parent area. Deleting the app deletes everything it saved. We hold no data about you, so there is nothing to request or delete on our side, but you can contact us any time at info@happisoft.ca.
Laws and store rules
HAPPI KIDS is designed to meet the expectations of Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec’s Law 25, the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Apple App Store Kids category and Google Play’s Families policy.
Changes to this policy
If anything changes, we’ll update this page and its date before the change reaches the app.
