Kidscient is a learning app for children, made by Morrowbase LLC ("we", "us"). Children use it through a parent's account. This policy explains what we collect from parents and children, why, who helps us run Kidscient and what they receive, how long we keep it, and how you can review, download, pause or delete your child's information. It is also our direct notice to parents under the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Morrowbase LLC operates Kidscient. Contact us at privacy@kidscient.com about anything in this policy, including to review or delete your child's information. Mail: Morrowbase LLC, 249 Commerce Avenue #1053, Manteca, CA 95336, USA. We reply within 7 days and complete requests within 30 days at the latest.
| What | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, name if you give one, and sign-in details (password, or Sign in with Apple or Google) | Your account, sign-in, security, and messages about your account | Our sign-in provider, Clerk. Our own database keeps only an internal account id, not your email. |
| Your consent record: the version of the consent text you agreed to and when; once card verification is in use, how it was verified (card or store purchase) and the payment provider's reference | To prove that a parent gave consent (COPPA) | Our database |
| Plan, Curio time used, purchases and the payment provider's references | Billing and your plan page | Our database; card details stay with Stripe, Apple or Google. We never see or store your full card number. |
| Settings you choose for each child (modules on or off, daily limits, topics to avoid, parent PIN) | So Kidscient works the way you set it | Our database |
| Your answer when your child asks to enter a contest in Competitions (yes, or not this time), and a note if you choose to add one | So your child knows your answer. Your note is shown to your child on that contest's page. | Our database, with your child's request, until you delete the child or your account. Included in that child's download. Never sent to an AI model. |
| Messages you write in parent chats (for example, asking Curio about your child's Home Crew week) | To answer you | Not stored: sent to the AI provider for the reply and then discarded |
| Questions you ask in Future Navigator ("Ask a question"), the child's grade band, and which of our reviewed answers matched | To answer you only from our reviewed answers, and to write new reviewed answers for questions we couldn't answer | Our database, with the child you asked about, for 30 days, then deleted automatically. Included in that child's download and deleted with the child. Not saved while you have paused collection for that child. Where AI-worded answers are on, the question is also sent to Anthropic to word the answer from a reviewed answer |
| Your answers in Future Navigator's "Getting to know you" and termly check-in, if you choose to give them: your state, your child's school type, languages spoken at home, whether a parent went to college in the US, how much costs matter, what your child enjoys, what you are concerned about, what you would like help with, and how school is going. We also keep which in-app notes you opened or put away, and when you answered. Every answer is a choice from a list, and there is nowhere to type. | To fit "Your path" and the notes to your family. Answers about your family apply to all your children; the rest are about one child. Every question can be skipped. Without answers, Future Navigator uses only your child's grade. | Our database. We delete the answers after 12 months without use (no visit by you or your child, and no new answer), or sooner if you delete them. Never sent to an AI model, never sold, never used for advertising. You can see, change or delete the answers in Future Navigator under "What you told us". Deleting there removes the answers and check-ins for all your children. They are included in each child's download and deleted with that child or with your account. Nothing is saved while you have paused collection for a child. |
| Reports you send with "Something's wrong?" (invite-only beta families): the choice you tap, your note, the page, the part of Kidscient and the item or Curio line on screen, the app version and screen size, with your internal account id and the child it was about | To find and fix what is wrong | Our database, kept 30 days, then deleted automatically. They are in that child's download, and are deleted with the child or your account. Nothing is saved while you have paused collection for that child. |
| If you ask for a founding-beta invite before signing up: your email, ZIP code, your children's grades (no names), which learning services you use and roughly what you spend, how you heard about us, and any invite or referral code | To send invites and plan the beta | Our database. Requests that don't become a Kidscient family are deleted automatically on 28 February 2027 (90 days after public launch), or sooner if you ask. |
| Your family's referral code, and which family referred you | Founding-family offer and referral bonus minutes | Our database, while your account exists |
| For password-reset requests on the parent PIN: the requesting IP address and browser type | Security, to spot abuse | Our database, with the reset token |
Children never create accounts and are never asked for an email address, phone number, address, school, photo of themselves, or their location. Curio is told never to ask for personal details and to remind a child to keep them private. What we collect depends on which parts of Kidscient your child uses:
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| First name or nickname, grade, avatar, and a "Curio code" (entered by you) | When you add a child | So your child can find their profile and Curio can greet them at the right level |
| Voice | When your child talks to Curio | Turned into text so Curio can understand. Most modules don't keep the audio at all. Where a module keeps a recording so you can listen back, it is deleted after 30 days. |
| What your child says or writes, as text | During a session | So Curio can reply, and so you can see how your child is doing. Deleted after 30 days. |
| Future Navigator questions: what your child asks Curio about dreams, jobs and school, and Curio's answer. We take personal details (such as an address, a school's name, a phone number, an email or a last name) out of the question before it is saved | When your child chooses to ask Curio a question | To answer your child from our reviewed answers and dream themes, and so you can read what your child asked and what Curio said, under "What [name] asked Curio" in the parent area. We keep them for 30 days, then delete them automatically, and you can delete them sooner. They are in your child's download and are deleted with your child or your account. Nothing is saved, and the question is not answered, while you have paused collection for your child. Every question is first checked for safety, on your child's words as typed, by Anthropic (or, if Anthropic is unavailable, by our backup check on Microsoft Azure, which is not sent to OpenAI). Curio's answer is written by Anthropic only where live replies are on; otherwise Curio uses a reviewed answer. |
| Photos of homework, pages or chores | Only when your child (or you) chooses to take or pick one | So Curio can see the work; chore photos so you can confirm a chore. Deleted after 30 days. |
| Competitions: which contests your child asks you about, and their practice tests: which test, the answer letter picked for each question, points by section and by strategy, and, for a test taken on screen, the time on each question, time on screen and breaks | Only after you switch Competitions on for your child: when your child taps "Ask a grown-up", takes a practice test on screen, or enters the answers from a test done on paper. Nothing is saved while you have paused collection. | So you see what your child asked, your child gets a review by strategy after each test, and you see which tests are done and how long they took. Answers are letters picked from a list; there is nowhere to type. Kept as learning progress while your account is active, included in your child's download, deleted with your child or your account, and never sent to an AI model. |
| Learning progress: answers, skills practised and mastered, scores, session times and minutes | As your child learns | To choose the next right thing to learn and to show you progress |
| Future Navigator check-in: three tap-to-choose questions (what your child loves doing right now, how school feels, and whether they would like to try something new) | Once a term, only if your child chooses to do it. Every question can be skipped. | To fit "Your path" to what your child says. The screen tells your child "Your grown-up can see what you pick." Only the latest answers are kept, and they are deleted after 12 months without use, like the rest of the profile. They are never sent to an AI model, and you can see and delete them as in row (a). |
| Safety notices | If something your child says suggests they may be unsafe or upset | So we can tell you, and to improve safety |
| Reports your child sends with the "Something's wrong?" button (invite-only beta): the choice they tap and, only if they choose to, a few typed words | When your child taps the button | To fix what is wrong. Typed words are checked for safety and have names, phone numbers, addresses and similar details removed before they are saved. We never ask for an email or phone number. Deleted after 30 days. |
| An AI-written learning summary of how your child likes to learn (for example, strengths and interests) | Updated after sessions in some modules | To help Curio teach your child. Deleted if not refreshed for 90 days, or when you pause or delete your child. |
| App usage events (see "Product analytics" below) | While Kidscient is used | To understand which parts of Kidscient work, with no names and no words |
We use children's information only to provide Kidscient to your family: teaching, keeping your child safe, showing you their progress, and keeping the service secure and working. We don't use it for advertising, we don't build marketing profiles, and we don't share it with anyone except the service providers below.
Some modules aren't open to families yet. They collect nothing until they open, and we'll update this policy (and ask for your consent again if what we collect changes) before they do.
| Module | What it uses | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tute (math, web) | Voice → text; typed and spoken answers; drawings on the board; progress | Audio is never stored. Before your child's words reach the AI, we replace names, phone numbers, addresses and similar details with placeholders. Words as text deleted after 30 days. |
| Homework help / Schoolwork (app) | Voice → text; words; photos of homework; progress | Curio's replies are safety-checked before your child sees them. Some answers include a picture drawn by AI from Curio's own description (never from your child's photo, voice or name). |
| Practice (MAP-style practice, web) | Answers and progress | Written answers may be checked by AI without your child's name. |
| Home Crew (chores and rewards, app) | Chore photos (optional), chore progress | Photos deleted 30 days after you review them. Weekly reflections and the parent chat use AI with your child's first name and grade. |
| Adventure Pack (printables) and MySelf (your child's profile pages) | Your child's grade, progress and learning summary | No voice or photos. |
| Roots (practical language learning: Telugu and Japanese, web) | Voice → text; the words your child says in the language they are learning; your child's first name, if they say it once; progress for each word, with dates | Your child plays short picture "scenes" that teach everyday words. Curio's lines are pre-recorded, and during scenes no AI model writes a reply. Your child's voice goes live to Microsoft Azure (Speech) to turn it into text, so we can tell whether they said the word; the same text goes through our safety check for signs your child may be hurt or unsafe, which can alert you in the parent area; if it does, we keep a note of the kind of concern and when, never your child's words. Audio is never stored. In the first session your child may say their own first name; Curio never repeats it, and it is removed from anything we store (turns, summaries and memory). For each word we keep whether your child heard, tapped, said or recalled it, with dates, and which scenes are finished. This is in your child's data download, and is deleted when you delete the child or account, or after 12 months without use. Off until you switch it on for your child. |
| Reading homework help | A photo of the reading assignment; your child reading aloud and answering by voice; reading results (words per minute, accuracy) | Speech goes to Microsoft Azure only. The photo and all text from it, and your child's spoken answers, are deleted within 30 days; reading results are kept as learning progress. |
| Future Navigator (school and future planning, web) | Your answers and check-ins, your child's check-in, and questions you ask | Fixed choices with no typing, never sent to an AI model. "Ask a question" is described above. |
| Competitions (math contests, web) | Your child's grade; the contests your child asks you about, and your answers; practice-test answers, times and points | Off until you switch it on for each child. No AI, and nowhere for your child to type. The plan, the contest-day checklist and the contest passport are worked out from our contest calendar and the contests you said yes to, so nothing more is stored for them. Ticks on the contest-day checklist stay in the browser on that device and are not sent to us. |
| Writing Studio (web) | Voice → text; what your child writes, with every draft, their answers to Curio's planning questions and Curio's feedback; spoken answers in the skill builders (debate, retell, speaking); a photo of an article or story passage, only if your child chooses to take one; progress | Audio is never stored. Before your child's words reach the AI, we replace names, phone numbers, addresses and similar details with placeholders, and Curio's replies are safety-checked before your child sees them. Curio's feedback is written by Anthropic (Claude), which also reads a passage photo through a link that expires in minutes; speech goes to Microsoft Azure, which also reads your child's own words aloud (text-to-speech) when they tap to hear them; we keep none of that audio. A passage photo and the text read from it are deleted after 30 days; spoken answers in the skill builders after 90 days. Your child's pieces and drafts are their own work: we keep them, and show them to you in the parent area, until you delete your child or your account (not the 30-day text period). Nothing is saved while you have paused collection. |
| Not open to families: Scoot / Training Wheels, Real World, Robotics, Project Lab, Ask Curio, Compass, Chess, and the older app version of Roots (see "Earlier versions" below) | — | Turned off on our servers for every family. |
To learn which parts of Kidscient help families, our own servers record a small, fixed list of usage events. Each event has a name, a time, which module (if any), a few numbers or fixed labels, whether it came from the website or the app, and your internal account and child ids so we can count active families and children. Events never contain names, email addresses, anything a child or parent says or writes, photos, web addresses, IP addresses, device identifiers or advertising identifiers. We use no third-party analytics or advertising tools (no Google Analytics, Firebase, Meta, Mixpanel or similar), and we look at analytics only in totals.
| Event | Extra detail recorded |
|---|---|
| Website visited, sign-up started (before sign-up: anonymous, no ids at all) | none |
| Parent signed up; consent recorded; child added | consent version; the child's grade band (1–2, 3–5, 6–8) |
| Plans page shown; checkout started; plan started or cancelled; extra minutes bought | which plan and whether monthly or yearly |
| Module opened; session ended | which module; how many seconds the session lasted |
| Something went wrong (app, website or server) | a fixed error type (for server errors, which feature and the error code) |
| Live voice connection | Whether Curio's live voice dropped, reconnected, or a spoken answer arrived late (a fixed reason only; no words, no child name) |
Events are deleted after 13 months, and right away when you delete a child or your account.
We share information only with these companies, only so they can run part of Kidscient for us, and under agreements that let them use it only for that. None of them may use your child's information for advertising or to train their AI models. AI providers may keep what they receive for up to 30 days for safety checks, then delete it; anything flagged as breaking their safety rules may be kept longer for review.
| Provider | What it does for us | What it receives | Their retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude) | Writes Curio's replies; checks every Curio reply for safety; reads homework photos; writes parent summaries and the learning summary | Your child's words as text, first name and grade (Tute and the new Roots receive placeholders instead of names), homework photos through a link that expires in minutes, recent conversation; questions parents ask in Future Navigator, with the reviewed answer they match; what your child asks Curio in Future Navigator, to check it for safety and, where live replies are on, to write Curio's answer | Inputs and outputs deleted within 30 days; content flagged for usage-policy violations may be kept up to 2 years. |
| Microsoft Azure (Speech, Azure OpenAI, hosting, storage) | Turns children's speech into text, gives Curio its voice, checks reading pronunciation; in some activities, runs OpenAI models for live voice conversation (Azure OpenAI, operated by Microsoft: what your child says is not sent to OpenAI and is not used for training); when our main safety check (Anthropic) is unavailable, runs a backup check on what your child says or types for signs they may be unsafe (Azure OpenAI, same protections); hosts our servers, database and files in the US (East US and East US 2) | Your child's voice (speech-to-text: processed in real time and not stored by Microsoft), your child's voice and words in live voice conversation, your child's words as text when the backup safety check runs, Curio's text for its voice, and everything we store | Speech: not stored. When Curio uses a Microsoft preview voice, Microsoft may keep the text Curio speaks aloud (never your child's voice or name) for its own safety checks. Live voice conversation: up to 30 days for safety checks, then deleted. Backup safety check: up to 30 days for safety checks, then deleted. Hosting: as long as we keep the data (see "How long we keep information"). |
| OpenAI | Draws illustrations for some homework answers. OpenAI models may also power live voice conversation in some activities; those run on Microsoft Azure (see above), so that conversation is not sent to OpenAI | Only Curio's own short description of the picture (for example, "a plant cell"), never your child's voice, words, photos or name | Up to 30 days for safety checks, then deleted |
| Clerk | Parent sign-in | Your email, password or Sign in with Apple/Google details, and sign-in device information | While your account exists |
| Stripe | Card payments on the web and the 50¢ consent verification | Your name, email and card details (entered directly with Stripe) | As required for payments and tax law |
| Apple App Store, Google Play and RevenueCat | In-app purchases; RevenueCat keeps app purchases in step with your plan | Purchase records and an internal account id (no child information) | As required for purchases |
| Sentry | Crash reports from the phone app | Technical error details only; crash reports contain no personal data (no names, emails or words) | Up to 90 days (Sentry's standard retention) |
| Resend | Sends parent emails (plan notices, parent PIN reset) | Your email address and the message | Delivery logs, under Resend's terms |
| Cloudflare | Serves our public website | Standard web requests | Short-lived |
Earlier versions. Until 10 October 2026, the older app version of Roots sent a child's voice and first name to Google (Gemini) during a Roots conversation. That version is now turned off on our servers for every family (only the founder's own account keeps it, for testing), so families' children's information no longer goes to Google.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect a child's safety, or as part of a sale or merger of our business (in which case this policy's promises continue to apply). We don't otherwise share children's information with anyone, and we never sell or rent it.

Deleting a child deletes everything about them right away: their profile, progress, transcripts, recordings, photos and every other record and file. Deleting your account does this for every child; we keep only the record of your consent (no child information) for 3 years, as the law expects. Learning progress is otherwise kept while your account is active. In Tute and the web Roots, a child's data is also deleted automatically after 12 months without use.
From the parent area on the web (behind your parent PIN), and in the app (behind your device's Face ID or passcode), you can at any time:
We will not make a child share more information than an activity needs, and you can refuse further collection without losing the rest of your account.
Before we collect any information from a child, a parent reads a short notice in the app or on the website and agrees to it, and we keep a record of which version they agreed to and when. When paid plans open, we add a card check so we know the person agreeing is an adult with a card in their name (a method COPPA accepts): on the Free plan, a 50¢ charge refunded the same day; on a paid plan, the first payment; in the app, an App Store or Google Play purchase of a plan. We'll tell you in the app before this applies to you, and we keep a record of how consent was verified. If we change what we collect, or who receives it, in a way that matters, we'll ask for your consent again before the change applies to your child.
Information is encrypted in transit and at rest in Microsoft Azure in the US. Parent areas sit behind a parent PIN on the web and your device's Face ID or passcode in the app. Our staff access children's information only when needed to keep Kidscient running or safe, through access-controlled tools that keep an audit log. We keep a written information security program, with a named coordinator, a yearly risk assessment, safeguards, vendor checks and a yearly review, and will tell you if a security incident affects your family's information, as the law requires.
If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you rights over your personal information and your child's:
Categories collected in the last 12 months: identifiers (email, account ids), customer records (name, payment references), commercial information (plan and purchases), internet activity within Kidscient (usage events), audio (voice), inferences (learning progress and the learning summary), family background and preferences you choose to give in Future Navigator, and children's information described above. Sources: you, your child, and your use of Kidscient. Purposes: providing and securing Kidscient, safety, billing, and improving the service. Disclosed for business purposes only to the service providers listed above.
To make a request, use the parent area or email privacy@kidscient.com. We verify requests by matching them to the signed-in account. An authorized agent may make a request for you with your signed permission. We respond within 45 days.
About Curio (California SB 243). Curio is an AI and tells children so at the start of every session and whenever asked. Our steps when a child may be at risk of self-harm are described in "Curio and safety" above.
Kidscient is offered in the United States. Your child's information is stored and processed in the US; the words Curio speaks, which never include your child's information, may be turned into speech by Microsoft outside the US. If you live elsewhere, please contact us before using Kidscient.
If we change this policy in a way that affects children's information, we'll email you and ask for your consent again before the change applies to your child. For other changes we'll update the date above and tell you in the app.
