πŸ”’ Privacy & Child Protection

TalkPlaya Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026 Β· Effective Date: September 2026

TalkPlaya stores profiles and progress on the current device by default. A grown-up may optionally sign in to add a backup copy. The child-facing card flow uses pre-written prompts and does not record spoken answers.

1. Local-First Storage by Default

Without sign-in, TalkPlaya stores the selected profile, nickname, pronoun, age and content band, setup choices, seven-night plan, completed nights, and current progress in browser localStorage on this device.

The card experience does not send this profile state to the backup endpoint unless a grown-up has a valid sign-in session. Loading Google sign-in or following ordinary links can still contact their respective services.

2. Account Creation & Cloud Sync Boundaries

If a grown-up signs in with Google, the configured account service receives the sign-in credential and returns an account session. TalkPlaya can then send a backup copy containing:

  • Account information: The grown-up's account id, email address, optional display name, and optional profile image returned by the sign-in service.
  • Family profiles: Voluntary nickname, pronoun, entered age, routed content band, setup choices, and the selected seven-night plan.
  • Progress: Completed night ids, current night, last response mode, and update timestamp.

The frontend sends backup requests to the configured HTTPS API endpoint. Hosting provider, retention, access controls, and deletion behavior must be verified against the deployed backend rather than inferred from this frontend source.

3. No Generative Chat in the Child-Facing Card Flow

The current child-facing card flow does not send a child's answers to a generative text model or provide an automated chatbot.

All child-facing prompt cards and questions are pre-written. TalkPlaya is a tool used by a grown-up and child together, not a generative chat service for children.

4. Inputs the Card Flow Does Not Request

The current child-facing card flow does not request these browser inputs:

  • Biometric data: No facial recognition, fingerprints, or voice prints.
  • Audio or video recordings: We do not request microphone or camera permissions.
  • Precise location data: We do not track or store GPS coordinates.
  • Spoken answers: The product does not provide a field or recorder for what a child says during a card.

5. Parent-Operated Product Boundary

TalkPlaya is designed to be started and managed by a grown-up. This notice describes the current product behavior; it is not a certification of compliance with a particular jurisdiction's child-privacy law.

6. Parental Rights: Export and Deletion

Parents can manage the data stored by the current frontend as follows:

  • One-Click Export: You can export your entire bedtime journey history as a structured JSON file at any time directly from the Account screen.
  • Local erasure: Use the in-product profile and reset controls or clear this site's browser storage. Clearing general browser history alone may not remove site storage in every browser.
  • Backup questions or deletion requests: Email contact@talkplaya.com. The deployed backend's verified capabilities and response process govern cloud deletion.

7. Contact
