Privacy for families
Play locally, with optional family sync.
Effective August 18, 2026. Jay, Kay, & Elle is designed for children and families. The website does not ask children to create an account, provide a name, email address, phone number, location, photo, recording, or other contact details.
What the games save
Some games save play progress, settings, artwork, high scores, projects, and optional notes or text entered into a game in the browser’s local storage. Parents can choose Family Sync for app data that has a reviewed suite adapter; some apps remain local-only while that adapter is added. Photos, microphone recordings, and other large media remain on the device and can be exported from the app. The Writing app saves document titles and Markdown writing locally. This information stays on the browser and device where it was created unless a parent chooses to enable Family Sync. A child can remove local information by using the game’s clear or delete controls, or by clearing this site’s browser data.
Optional Family Sync
Only a parent can create a Family Sync account. Before sync is enabled, the parent receives a direct notice, gives consent through the parent email address, and receives a separate confirmation. Families that joined under an earlier notice keep existing sync but must approve the updated notice and receive a new confirmation before using record-based cloud saves or private computations. Family Sync stores the parent email address, a password hash, generated child-profile labels and avatars, and the game progress, projects, and writing documents the parent chooses to sync. These may include optional text a child enters. Cloud records are encrypted and belong to the selected child profile; older writings stay unassigned until a parent deliberately assigns them. Requested private computations may process saved work to provide an app feature; their inputs and results expire. The Writing app can download exports to the current device or email them only to the verified parent account email; there is no sharing or recipient-address feature.
Tracking, advertising, and sharing
The website is designed without child accounts, behavioral advertising, social-media plug-ins, or third-party analytics. It does not provide public profiles, chat, comments, cloud galleries, or online leaderboards. Local high scores use the label “Player” and are visible only on the same device. Family Sync information is not used for advertising and is not made public.
Hosting and security
Like most websites, the hosting provider may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser type, and request time to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the site. This information must be used only for site operations, protected with reasonable safeguards, and kept only as long as necessary. The site operator must not add analytics, advertising, or other third-party tracking without updating this notice and completing a children’s-privacy review.
Parents
Parents may ask questions, review, export, or delete synced information, disconnect devices, or revoke Family Sync consent in Parent settings or by contacting [email protected]. Stopping sync deletes cloud child information and signs out devices. Deleting the parent account also deletes the account. Local game data stays on each device, so local copies must be cleared there separately.
Data retention
Active cloud saves are kept while needed to provide Family Sync. If a parent account has no activity for three years, the operator sends a warning to the parent email address; if the parent does not return within 30 days, the account and its cloud child information are deleted. Deleted cloud records and Writing trash are removed after 30 days; older Writing revisions and change history are removed after 90 days. Completed or failed computation jobs, including their inputs and results, expire after seven days. Service backups must expire within 30 days under the operator’s backup policy. Local copies are controlled separately on each device.
Changes
If these practices change in a way that involves collecting, using, or sharing a child’s personal information, the site operator will update this notice and, where required, give parents direct notice and obtain verifiable parental consent before that collection occurs.
