Privacy Policy

Updated

Effective Date: January 2026

1. Overview

StarSprout is a privacy-first family co-pilot designed to help families build responsibility, confidence, and independence through everyday routines.

We believe privacy is not a feature. It's the foundation.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. What We Collect

A) Information you provide to us

When you join our waitlist or contact us, we may collect:

  • Email address
  • First name (optional)
  • Country (optional)
  • Role (optional: Parent/Guardian, Educator, Other)
  • Your consent preferences (e.g., marketing consent)

B) Technical information (limited)

When you use our website, we may collect limited technical information such as:

  • Browser type and device information
  • Approximate location (e.g., country)
  • Pages visited and general usage patterns

We do not collect sensitive personal data through the waitlist form.

3. What We Do Not Collect (Waitlist)

During waitlist signup, we do not collect:

  • Children's names
  • Children's ages
  • School information
  • Health or behavioural information
  • Any child profile data

4. Why We Collect Information (Purpose)

We use your information to:

  • Register you for early access
  • Send product updates you consented to receive
  • Notify you about launch and feature availability
  • Improve our website experience and performance
  • Maintain security and prevent misuse

6. How We Use Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Ensure the website works properly
  • Measure performance and improve usability
  • Understand general site engagement

For details, see our Cookie Policy.

7. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us operate StarSprout, such as:

  • Email delivery providers (e.g., Resend)
  • Database providers (e.g., Supabase)
  • Hosting providers (e.g., Vercel)

These providers only process data on our instructions and are required to protect it.

8. Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as needed:

Waitlist data is retained until:

  • You unsubscribe, or
  • We no longer need it for early access communications, or
  • You request deletion

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location (including the UK/EU), you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion
  • Withdraw consent
  • Object to processing
  • Request data portability (where applicable)

To request any of the above, contact us at: privacy@starsprout.com

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption, access controls, and secure storage.

No system is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect your data.

11. International Transfers

If your data is processed outside your country, we take steps to ensure it remains protected under applicable privacy laws.

12. Children's Privacy

StarSprout is designed for families, but our waitlist and website are intended for adults (parents/guardians/educators).

We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children through our waitlist.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as StarSprout evolves. If we make significant changes, we'll update the "Effective Date" and may notify you.
