Worry Chompers collects no personal data. There are no accounts, no adverts, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything your child makes stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.
Who this policy is for
Worry Chompers is a gentle app that lets a child express and let go of worries by drawing, writing, colouring or recording them, and “feeding” them to a friendly character. It is designed to be used by children, with a grown-up nearby. This policy explains how the app handles information. The short answer is that it keeps everything on your own device.
Information we collect
None. Worry Chompers does not create an account, does not ask for your name, email, or any personal details, and does not collect analytics, usage data, advertising identifiers, or location. The app contains no advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting tools, and no third-party tracking software of any kind. If you choose to email us, see “If you email us” below.
Your child’s content
Drawings, written worries, coloured pictures, voice recordings, and the Chompers your child builds are stored only on your device. This content is never uploaded, shared, or transmitted to us or to anyone else. The app does not require an internet connection to create, feed, or review worries.
Permissions
- Microphone. Used only when your child chooses to record a spoken worry. Recordings are saved on your device and are never uploaded.
- Notifications. If a grown-up turns on the optional “Worry Time” reminder, it is scheduled locally on the device. No push notifications are used and nothing is sent over the internet.
Saving a copy
The only time content leaves the app is when a grown-up deliberately chooses to save a copy from the grown-ups area, for example saving a drawing to the device’s photos, or a recording to a folder the grown-up picks. Even then, the copy is written to your own device and is never sent to us or to any third party. There is no way for a child to share a worry out of the app.
Children’s privacy
Because Worry Chompers collects no personal information at all, it is built to comply with children’s privacy rules including the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children’s Code), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation as it applies to children (GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, and we do not carry out any form of behavioural advertising or profiling.
Third parties
Worry Chompers does not share data with third parties because it does not collect any. No third-party software development kits that gather personal data are included in the app.
Keeping and deleting information
All content stays on your device for as long as you keep it. A grown-up can delete individual worries, or all of them, from the grown-ups area. Uninstalling the app removes all of its on-device data.
If you email us
If you contact us, including with “Send feedback” in the app (which opens a new email in your own email app), we receive your email address and whatever you write, along with the app and phone version at the bottom of the email, which you can delete before sending. We use it only to reply to you and to improve the app, we never share it, and we delete it once we have dealt with it. Ratings and reviews you leave on Google Play or the App Store are handled by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
