Children's Privacy Notice
Effective date: September 26, 2026.
KangarooKiddo ("KangarooKiddo," "we," "us") is operated by PerfSpot LLC. This notice explains, in plain language, what we collect about your child, how we use it, and how you stay in control. It is written for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The parent owns the account
You create and control the account. Children do not sign up, do not have their own login, and cannot create a profile. You add a child profile and you start each tutoring session.
Nothing is collected until you consent
When you sign up we email you this notice with a consent link. Until you open it and confirm that you are the parent and you consent, you cannot add a child and no child can use the tutor. About two days after you consent, we send a second email confirming it. If someone else gave consent using your email, that email has a link to withdraw it, which deletes your child's data.
What we collect about your child
- A nickname you choose. Please don't use your child's full or real name.
- Your child's birth date and grade, which we use to pick the right age level and grade-level content.
- Your child's answers, progress, points and reward requests in the tutor.
- If your child speaks an answer, the recording is turned into text to check the answer and then discarded. We keep the text, never the recording.
We do not collect your child's full name, email, phone, address, school, photos, or any audio or video recordings. Children only answer the question on screen. There is no chat, no messaging, and nowhere to post.
How we use it
Only to run the tutor: pick questions, adapt difficulty, track progress against grade-level skills, write your progress summaries, and award the points you approve. We do not use it for advertising and there are no third-party ad trackers in the child experience.
Who processes it for us
We don't sell or share your child's information. A few service providers run parts of the app on our behalf. They may use it only to provide their service to us, not for their own purposes, and not to train their AI models.
- Hosting and database providers, which store the account and your child's profile and progress.
- An AI service that checks your child's spoken answers and writes your progress summaries. It receives your child's answers and, for summaries, the nickname. It may keep request data for up to 30 days to detect abuse, then deletes it.
- Speech-to-text and text-to-speech services, which turn spoken answers into text and read questions aloud.
- File storage, which holds the audio of questions read aloud (not your child's voice).
- An email provider, which sends emails to you. It never emails your child.
Your controls
From the parent dashboard, or by writing to us, you can at any time: see what we have collected about your child, delete your child's profile, withdraw consent (which deletes all your children's data and stops collection), or delete your whole account. Deleting a profile removes the profile and everything keyed to it, including answers, progress, points, and the tutor's logs of your child's answers.
How long we keep it
- Your child's profile and progress: while your account is active, until you delete the profile, withdraw consent, or delete your account. Then it is deleted right away.
- The tutor's logs of your child's answers: 30 days, then deleted automatically.
- Inactive profiles: if a child hasn't practiced in 12 months, we email you, and delete the profile 30 days later unless your child practices again.
- Voice recordings: never stored.
- Database backups roll over, so deleted data can remain in a backup for up to 30 days before it is gone for good.
How we protect it
We keep a written information security program for children's data. It names who is responsible for it, limits access to the people who need it to run the service, encrypts data in transit and at rest, requires the same care from our service providers, and is reviewed at least once a year and after any incident.
Changes and contact
If we materially change how we handle children's information, we notify parents and ask for new consent before the change applies to your child. Questions or requests: PerfSpot LLC, P.O. Box 103, Sullivans Island, SC 29482.
