Your family’s privacy
Development privacy notice · November 13, 2026. This notice describes this version of the application. The operator’s legal identity, retention obligations, and applicable parental-consent process must be finalized before public launch.
Made for parents to manage
Adults create and control accounts. We ask for the parent’s name, email address, password, and acknowledgement that they are a parent or legal guardian. Passwords are hashed. Children are not asked for email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, or locations.
Your child’s learning profile
Parents may provide a nickname, age from 3–7, selected avatar, and starting-level answers. We save activity attempts, completion, and learning progress to provide the reading program. Profiles are private to the family and authorized administrators. There are no public profiles, advertising, chat, or social features.
Cookies, audio, and payment services
An essential session cookie keeps your account signed in. This version has no analytics or advertising trackers. Instructional narration was prepared using ElevenLabs and is stored with its word timings on our server. Playing an activity does not send text or family information to ElevenLabs. The site does not request microphone access or record your child’s voice. Uploaded recordings are instructional assets supplied by administrators.
If you subscribe, Stripe processes payment and billing information. Here to Read stores subscription identifiers, status, and plan information, never card details. Stripe applies its own privacy and record-retention terms.
Control, export, and deletion
In Account & privacy, parents can download their family data, change profiles, and permanently delete child profiles. Deleting a child removes associated progress and attempts. You may delete your account after any paid subscription period ends. Detailed attempts are cleared after 90 days; aggregate progress remains until a profile is deleted. Unfinished attempts expire within seven days and anonymous sample attempts within one day. Expired sessions are periodically removed.
Before public launch
Public operation requires an appropriate parental notice and consent process, privacy request procedures, processor agreements, backup retention rules, and a review of applicable children’s privacy law. The account checkbox is an acknowledgement; it is not a claim of legally verified parental consent. This development build is not certified COPPA or GDPR compliant.
Questions or requests
Email hello@heretoread.com from the parent account’s address. Do not include sensitive child information. Account access and a password are required for in-app data changes.
