Privacy Policy

The short version

• CodeCubs is for children aged 4–10 and their parents. There are no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
• Children never create accounts or type personal information. A child profile is a nickname, an animal picture and an age group.
• Parent accounts (optional) use an email and password so progress can sync across devices and parents can see learning reports.
• Parents can delete a child profile or their whole account at any time from the Family dashboard.

What we collect

• On the device: game progress and learning activity (levels tried, right or wrong, time taken, hints used). This stays on the device unless a parent signs in.
• With a parent account: the parent’s email, a securely hashed password, settings such as a daily time limit, and each child’s nickname, avatar, age group, progress and learning activity, so the Family dashboard works on every device.
• Usage counts: a random device ID, the device type (phone, tablet or computer), the operating system and browser, minutes played, and the country and state of the connection. The internet (IP) address is used only to look up the country and state and is not stored.
• Research (optional): only when a parent ticks “Help improve CodeCubs”, play data without names is included in summaries of which levels are too easy or hard.

Play Together

Play Together is off until a parent turns it on for a child. Rooms are private and joined with a 4-letter code. Children can send only ready-made phrases and emoji, never typed text. Voice chat works only if parents allow it; it goes directly between devices and is never recorded. A “Tell a grown-up” button sends a report to the developer.

Support gifts

Gifts on the Support page are processed by Stripe. Card details go directly to Stripe and never reach CodeCubs. We keep the amount and, if you choose to give them, a name and message. Zelle and Cash App gifts happen in your own bank or Cash App; we receive no information about them.

Children’s privacy (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents control accounts, Play Together and voice, and can review or delete their children’s data at any time. We do not sell or share personal information.

Delete your account and data

Open CodeCubs at gamestore.bshub.us (or in the app), tap the 🔒 Grown-ups button, answer the grown-up question, sign in, open Delete account and tap Delete my account. This removes the parent account, all child profiles, progress and learning activity from our server at once. To delete one child only, tap Delete (child’s name) under that child. You can also email s2baptiste@gmail.com from your account email and we will delete everything within 30 days. Support-gift records are kept as required for tax records.
