ParentOS is built to be private by design. This policy explains what data exists, where it lives, and what leaves your device.
Your profile (your name, your children's names and ages, your partner's name), reflections, quick check-ins, mood history, lesson progress, virtue scores, streaks, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not operate accounts and do not store this data on our servers. Deleting the app (or using Settings → Erase all data) removes it.
When you use the AI Coach or Parent Replay, the text you write plus a short family context line (first names and ages you entered) is sent to an AI provider to generate a response:
• If you linked your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google), your message goes directly from your device to that provider under their privacy terms.
• If you use ParentOS Plus coaching, your message passes through our coaching relay (Cloudflare) to Anthropic's Claude API. We do not log or store your messages, and we do not use them for advertising. Anthropic's API terms apply to processing.
The built-in offline coach works entirely on your device — nothing is sent anywhere.
No ads. No sale of data. No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. No data brokerage. Ever.
Daily reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. They do not involve our servers.
Subscriptions are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play. We receive anonymized subscription status, never your payment details.
ParentOS is designed for and directed at adults (parents and caregivers). It is not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Children's names and ages that you enter are stored only on your device, except first names/ages included in AI coaching requests as described above.
You can use the app without AI features, without entering real names, and without notifications. You can erase all data at any time in Settings.
We'll update this page when the policy changes. Questions: support@parentosapp.com
