🔒 Privacy Policy

About this policy

This policy explains what Oomba Academy (oomba.ai, "we", "us") keeps about the people who use it, what we never collect, and how grown-up accounts, family links, payments and school billing work. The same facts about children's accounts are on the For grown-ups page. Questions: greg@oomba.ai.

What we keep

Own accounts keep a made-up name, a password (stored scrambled) and what your child does here: the games they make, their chats with the Builder and any pictures or files they add, saves, scores, ratings, favorites, friends, chat messages, a profile photo if they upload one, and settings such as language and theme. Guest play keeps a made-up name, saves, scores, ratings and favorites.

A school account is one your child signs in to with a login card from school. It is made and owned by the school, and keeps the same things plus the student's real name as the school typed it for the class list (only the school's staff and our team see it), their classes, lesson progress, written answers and their teacher's feedback. If your child joins a class with their own account and a class code, the school keeps the same things for that class, including their real name if the teacher types one.

What we never collect

We never ask for an email address, age, home address, location or payment details, and there is nothing to buy. Hidden location data is removed from photos and pictures before they are kept. There are no ads, and no advertising or tracking cookies.

What the AI sees

To make a game, the messages, pictures and files your child gives the Builder are sent to Claude, an AI made by the company Anthropic, which writes the game. Your child's name and username are not sent with them. Profile photos are also sent to Claude to be checked before anyone sees them. Claude reviews games before they can be shared with everyone, and our team checks any it is unsure about. Chats between friends and lesson answers are not sent to the AI.

How long we keep it

We keep an account's data for as long as the account exists. None of it is deleted on a timer yet. A game your child deletes is taken off the site for everyone, but a copy stays on our server.

There is no button yet to delete an account or download its data. To ask for either, a grown-up can contact us. For a school account, ask the school; it can ask us.

Privacy

We keep the Google account's id, email address and school domain while it is connected, to recognise it at sign-in. We never store the Google photo, never show a student's Google name on the game site, and never use the account to read anything else from Google.

Children's data

Children never see prices, plans or a "buy" button, and are never asked to pay or to ask a grown-up to pay.

Paying is not how we ask a parent for permission. Buying a plan doesn't change what we collect about a child, what we use it for, or what a parent has agreed to.

Your rights as a parent (own accounts): you can ask us to show you what we keep about your child, to delete it, or to stop collecting more. Email greg@oomba.ai. There is no delete or download button yet, so we handle these requests by hand, and we will need to check that you are the parent before we act. Unlinking or cancelling a plan does not delete your child's account.

School accounts: a school account is made and owned by the school. For those accounts we act on the school's behalf and under its direction: we use student information only to provide Oomba Academy to the school, never for advertising, and we don't sell it. Parents of school accounts should ask the school to see or delete records; the school can ask us. A data agreement the school has signed with us comes first.

No selling, no ads: we don't sell anyone's personal information, show ads, or use advertising or tracking cookies.

For grown-ups and schools

Grown-up accounts, family links, payments, school billing and how long we keep billing records are explained in the full privacy policy for grown-ups and schools.
