This notice is for parents and caregivers. It adds to our Privacy Policy and describes what Pip's Bible Quest does, and doesn’t do, with children’s information.
What we ask a child for
Only an optional nickname and an age group (5 to 9, or 10 and up), which chooses how lessons are explained. We don’t ask for a real full name, birthday, photo, email address, contacts or location.
What children create
Notes, journal entries and prayers stay on the device and are never used for analytics. Journal entries and prayers are encrypted with a key that never leaves the device, and they are not part of a family backup or a data export; Export Journal is how a family keeps a copy. Notes are included in a family backup only if a caregiver saves one.
Microphone and camera
If an activity asks to listen while a child says a memory verse aloud, speech is checked on the device and nothing is recorded or stored. The camera is used only to scan an invitation code, and only when a family chooses to.
Grown-up controls
The caregiver account, family settings and data controls are kept in the Caregiver area and Settings, away from lessons and games. Purchases are confirmed by Apple with Face ID, Touch ID or the account password, and Apple’s Ask to Buy lets a parent approve them.
No ads, and nothing a child writes is shared
There are no ads in the app and no sale of information, and nothing a child reads or writes is shared for advertising. To measure which of our own ads bring families to the app, a few setup events go to Meta, with the advertising identifier only if a grown-up allows tracking. There are no chats, public profiles or rankings of children. Anonymous crash reports and usage analytics (no names, notes, journals or prayers) are on by default and a grown-up can turn them off in Settings › Privacy & Data.
Parents’ and caregivers’ rights
A parent or caregiver can review, export or delete a child’s information at any time in Profile › Settings › Privacy & Data, and can stop further use by erasing the data or deleting the app. If a caregiver saved a family backup, it can be deleted there too, with the caregiver account.
For any question about a child’s privacy, or to ask us to delete information, email pipsbiblequest@nextarcstudio.com.
