Privacy Policy

Version 2026-10-22

This is an earlier version. Current Privacy Policy · All versions

This Privacy Policy explains how Focus on Foundations (“Focus on Foundations,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information through our website, family account and learning services, and QRAG question-answering service (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Scope of the Alpha

The current alpha is offered directly to families in the United States. It is not a school-directed service, and we do not currently contract with schools or act on behalf of schools. A parent or legal guardian must manage any use by a child under 13. A person 13 or older may create an individual account for themselves. Independent accounts are not available for children under 13.

This 2026-10-22 update says that people we invite to test the Services can also send feedback reports from the main site, and that a report can open an item in our private project tracker at GitHub. The 2026-10-09 update brought the Policy in line with how the Services work now. It names the AI providers that receive QRAG questions and the other outside providers and hosts. It adds the learner Gallery, records of AI use, AI credits and donations, access request forms, shared answers, and feedback reports. It corrects what we say about QRAG accounts, tutor access, logs, earlier file versions, and what account deletion does and does not remove. The earlier 2026-08-18 update named Kids Web Services (KWS) Parent Verification, KWS’s AgeGraph, the signed-form verification path, AI-assisted review of uploaded signed forms, and where verification data may be processed.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on which Service you use.

Adult and guardian accounts

When an adult or guardian creates or uses an account, we collect:

  • Account and authentication information, including the email address, account identifier, and authentication status. Passwords are processed by our authentication provider; Focus on Foundations does not receive the account password in readable form.
  • Profile information, such as a display name.
  • Family membership and account-management records.
  • Records of agreement to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, including the version and date or time of consent.

Guardian-created child accounts and learning data

A child under 13 cannot self-register. An authenticated parent or legal guardian creates and manages the child account after email-plus consent (a direct-notice email, a confirmation-code response, and a follow-up email that consent can be revoked). For a guardian-created child account, we collect:

  • A guardian-owned plus-address email, such as youremail+kidname@whatevermail.com, used as the child’s sign-in address and routed to the guardian’s inbox.
  • The child’s display name, account identifier, authentication status, and family relationship.
  • Learning activity and progress, including answers, attempts, assignments, app settings, and related educational interactions.
  • Learning data files, including SQLite files created by learning applications and stored for account synchronization.
  • Consent provenance, including the consenting guardian’s account identifier, the consent statement or version, and the date or time consent was recorded.

Please choose a child display name that does not reveal more personal information than is needed to use the Service.

Learner Gallery

Math Quiz has a Gallery in which a learner earns pictures by practicing. For a learner’s Gallery we collect and store:

  • The title and the description of each picture request. A child can write these as free text.
  • The saved prompts and the prompt of each picture.
  • The pictures, the learner’s albums, and the records of the pictures the learner has earned. A guardian adds the pictures; a child cannot upload or generate a picture.

Please make sure that a title, a description, or a picture does not reveal more personal information than is needed.

A guardian can copy pictures to another child in the same family. A learner who is signed in to a child account or an individual account can send an earned picture to a sibling, or to another learner account — including an account in another family — by entering that account’s exact sign-in email address. The picture goes with its title, description, and prompt. If the receiving account is a child account, the picture first waits for a guardian of that child. Only a guardian of the receiving child can approve or decline it. While it waits, the child cannot see or download it. The guardian sees the picture, its title, description, and prompt, and the display name of a sender in the same family. For a sender in another family the guardian sees no name, email address, or account identifier. If the guardian declines, we delete the picture with its title, description, and prompt. We do not tell the sender what the guardian chose. A picture sent to an individual account, which has no guardian, arrives directly.

AI picture generation for the Gallery is in our program but is not switched on. No Gallery content is sent to an AI provider today. Section 4 says what would be sent if we switch it on.

Parent verification and tutor-disclosure consent

If a guardian invites a tutor who can see a child’s display name, we collect a stronger verification record before that disclosure. The record includes the verification method, status, and time, and the exact consent text and version the guardian accepted. Depending on the method the guardian chooses, it also includes:

  • KWS Parent Verification. We send KWS the guardian’s verified email address, an opaque correlation token, and a country and language setting (United States and English by default). KWS emails the guardian and uses Stripe to make a refundable $0.05 credit- or debit-card charge to check adult status. We keep a KWS transaction identifier as evidence. We do not receive or store the card number.
  • Focus on Foundations Stripe fee. Stripe’s hosted Checkout processes a non-refundable $0.50 payment. We keep Stripe session or payment identifiers and the amount. We do not receive or store the card number.
  • Signed form. The guardian physically prints a generated form, signs the paper with a pen, and uploads a scan or photograph. We store that document privately. Typed, pasted, digital, certificate-based, and on-device signatures are not accepted for this method. We send the uploaded form and protected reference fields to OpenAI for an AI assessment of whether the upload visibly appears to be a complete wet-signed form and whether its fields match. Those materials can include the guardian’s email and signature, selected child display names, tutor email, consent text, and verification identifiers. A clear AI-approved form may complete verification automatically within minutes. Any form the AI does not approve, cannot read, or cannot assess is kept in the authorized human-review queue; it is not automatically rejected. A person in our small group of authorized reviewers then decides by hand. That review is not immediate.

We do not send child names, child identifiers, tutor email addresses, family identifiers, or account identifiers to KWS or Stripe. KWS verifies adult status. It does not verify that the person is the parent of a specific child. The guardian’s attestation and verified Focus on Foundations account remain our record of that authority.

QRAG service data

QRAG answers questions about curated source collections. QRAG search and answers need a signed-in account with a verified email address. A guardian-created child account cannot use QRAG. QRAG does not use family records, child records, or learning data to answer a question. For QRAG we collect:

  • Questions and other text submitted to QRAG, the generated answer, the source passages used, the model used, and supporting service metadata. We keep a copy of each exchange and a record of each answer job, as Section 6 describes.
  • The conversations that you save to your history. “Temporary chat” does not save a conversation to your history. It does not stop the exchange copy, the job record, or the sending to AI providers.
  • An email address that you type to send an answer by email, and your choice about our update list.
  • Records of AI use and spending, described below.

To find and write an answer, QRAG sends the question, earlier messages of the same conversation, and source passages to AI providers. Section 4 names them. The request does not include your name, your email address, or your account identifier, but it includes everything you type. Do not submit sensitive personal information in a QRAG question.

When you send an answer by email, we send the questions and answers to the address you typed. We record that address, in readable and in hashed form, and your update-list choice in a log file. When you send an answer by email or download it, a copy of those questions and answers also goes to our contact mailbox.

AI use, AI credits, and donations

For an account that uses QRAG we keep records of AI use and spending: counts of use, the cost of each answer, amounts held while an answer is written, the balance of the starter allowance and of purchased AI credits, limits, the verified email address used for spending notices, and records of the source transcripts that the account downloaded.

Where donations or AI-credit purchases are offered, Stripe’s hosted Checkout takes the payment. A donation does not need an account. We keep an order record with the purpose, the amount, Stripe identifiers, and the receipt time and version. We read the payer’s name and email address from Stripe to send the receipt, and we do not keep that email address in the order record. We do not receive or store the card number.

Access requests

A person without an account can ask to join the alpha or ask for special access to QRAG. The form to join the alpha collects an email address, a name, a message, and a social-media link if one is given. The special-access form collects an email address and a message. Each request is sent to our contact mailbox. To limit repeated requests, we keep a hashed form of the sender’s IP address for about one day. If we grant special access, we keep the email address on our special-access list with a short note.

Feedback reports

Some people whom we invite to test the Services can send us feedback reports from the website, including the main site, focusonfoundations.org. Feedback is off for every other account. A feedback report holds the name or label you give or your account name, your text, the page address, the release of the site, the account or browser session, a screenshot, and any files you attach. The screenshot shows the whole visible browser tab, so it can show personal information that is on your screen. When you choose a GitHub issue, we also open an item in our private project tracker at GitHub, Inc. It holds your text, the kind and area of the report, the page path and the release. It does not hold your name, email address, screenshot or files, which stay in our storage at Amazon Web Services. Authorized reviewers read the reports to find and fix problems. They use AI tools to summarize reports and to propose fixes, so the text and the screenshots of a report can go to the AI companies that provide those tools.

Usage, device, and security data

We and our service providers collect operational data needed to deliver and protect the Services. This may include IP address where applicable, browser and device information, pages or features used, timestamps, request and error metadata, authentication events, security events, and similar usage and security logs. We may use cookies, browser storage, and comparable technologies for authentication, session continuity, consent state, preferences, and security.

Our current programs are written not to put the text of a question, an answer, or an email into a log. A service that is set to record full requests for troubleshooting can still do so. Such a log then holds that content together with the IP address and browser details.

To limit use, we keep counters for each account and a keyed, hashed form of the IP address that changes each hour. If a page meets an error, it sends a report with the page address and browser details to our contact mailbox. If a page marks an input as suspicious, it sends the text of that input to our contact mailbox.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Create, authenticate, and administer adult, guardian, and child accounts.
  • Provide learning activities and the Gallery, save and synchronize progress, and let guardians manage family data.
  • Complete parent verification when a guardian chooses to authorize a tutor relationship, and keep the resulting consent evidence.
  • Operate QRAG, answer submitted questions, administer AI allowances, credits, and spending limits, and provide optional email features.
  • Take donations and AI-credit payments and send receipts.
  • Review access requests and feedback reports.
  • Communicate about accounts, verification, support, privacy requests, and material Service changes.
  • Maintain, debug, understand, and improve the Services, including internal product research and review of saved QRAG exchanges. We may publish de-identified or aggregated findings that cannot reasonably identify a child.
  • Detect abuse, protect users and the Services, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not market to children. Focus on Foundations does not independently share identifiable child information with third parties. A parent or legal guardian may separately start, scope, and revoke a tutor relationship after a stronger verification step; in that case we disclose to that tutor the tutor relationship, the child’s display name, and the child’s learning progress, assignments, settings, and saved files, as Section 5 describes. A learner can choose to send an earned Gallery picture to another learner, as Section 5 describes. If we intend to share identifiable child information with other third parties — for example with research organizations or partner nonprofits — we would request additional consent for that.

4. How We Disclose Information

We disclose information only as needed for the purposes described in this Policy:

  • Hosting and service providers. We use service providers to authenticate accounts, run our APIs, store account, family, consent, and application records, store user files and signed-form uploads, deliver the website, and send transactional email. Our hosting provider is Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS runs our sign-in, programs, databases, file storage, website delivery, firewall, email sending, and logs. It therefore stores or carries the records described in this Policy, including child records, learner files, Gallery pictures, signed-form uploads, QRAG exchanges, and the full text of the emails we send.

  • Kids Web Services (KWS). If a guardian chooses KWS Parent Verification, we send KWS the guardian’s verified email address, an opaque correlation token, and a country and language setting. KWS, operated by Kids Web Services Ltd in the Epic Games family of companies, emails the guardian, checks adult status with a credit or debit card through Stripe (a refundable $0.05 charge), and returns the result to us. After the guardian interacts with KWS, KWS’s privacy policy governs the card check and KWS’s own records. Child names, child identifiers, tutor email addresses, family identifiers, and account identifiers are not sent to KWS.

    If verification succeeds, KWS stores a hashed version of the guardian’s email and verification status in AgeGraph, a network KWS uses so the same adult may not have to verify again for other apps that use KWS. AgeGraph is controlled by KWS, not by Focus on Foundations. Deleting a Focus on Foundations account does not delete the AgeGraph record. A guardian can ask KWS to remove them from AgeGraph by emailing privacy@kidswebservices.com or using the opt-out link in KWS’s verification email. KWS’s other service providers are listed in KWS’s public register.

  • Stripe. Stripe is used in three ways. If a guardian chooses KWS Parent Verification, Stripe processes KWS’s refundable $0.05 card check; that card data is provided to Stripe by KWS, not by us. If a guardian chooses the optional Focus on Foundations parental-verification fee, Stripe’s hosted Checkout processes the $0.50 payment and receives the amount, a verification identifier, and the guardian’s payment and contact data required for Checkout. If a person makes a donation or buys AI credits, Stripe’s hosted Checkout takes the payment; we send Stripe the amount, the product name, an order identifier, the purpose, and, for a signed-in account, the account’s verified email address, and the payer gives card, name, and email details to Stripe on Stripe’s page. Child names, child identifiers, tutor email addresses, and account identifiers are not sent to Stripe by us.

  • Signed-form AI and human reviewers. If a guardian chooses the print-and-sign method, we send the uploaded form and the matching consent reference fields to OpenAI for the limited AI assessment described above. We configure the API request not to store the model response for later retrieval. That setting does not decide what else OpenAI keeps; OpenAI’s own terms apply. If AI does not approve the form or the assessment fails, authorized Focus on Foundations reviewers — a small group of named people — may open the uploaded document to approve or reject it by hand. The document is not sent to KWS or Stripe.

  • AI providers for QRAG. To find and write an answer, QRAG sends data to these providers:

    • OpenAI, for the search. Every question is sent to OpenAI, which turns the question text into numbers that we use to find matching source passages. OpenAI gets the question text and no account identifier. The search itself then runs at our hosting provider, on an index that holds source text only.
    • OpenRouter, to write the answer. This is the usual route. OpenRouter gets the question, up to 12 earlier messages of the same conversation, the source passages that the search found, and, for some collections, a longer reference text. OpenRouter passes the request to a company that runs the chosen model. The models offered today come from the Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and Nemotron families. We do not choose or limit which company runs the model for a request.
    • OpenAI, to write the answer. If an account uses an OpenAI model, OpenAI gets the same data in place of OpenRouter. OpenAI models are offered to accounts with special access, and one OpenAI model is offered to an account with more than $1 of available balance.

    A route to Anthropic exists in our program for one special-access model. It is not set up, and no question is sent to Anthropic. We make no promise about how long these providers keep a question, where they process it, or whether they use it to train their models. Each provider’s own terms and privacy policy apply. Deleting a conversation or an account does not remove a copy held by a provider. Apart from the guardian-chosen signed-form assessment described above, we do not send identifiable child account or learning data to an AI provider today.

  • AI providers for Gallery pictures (not switched on). Our program can make a Gallery picture with an AI image model when a guardian chooses Generate for a request. A child cannot start it. This feature is not switched on, and nothing is sent today. If we switch it on, each time a guardian chooses Generate we would send OpenRouter, and the image company that runs the chosen model, the prompt for the picture and up to four reference pictures from the learner’s Gallery. The prompt holds the saved prompt text, the title and the description of the request (which a child may have written), and the names of the reference pictures. The reference pictures go as links; a link to a private picture works for 15 minutes and contains the learner’s account identifier and the file path. The image models come from the OpenAI GPT Image, Qwen Image, ByteDance Seedream, and Google Gemini image families. Quiz answers and attempt histories are not part of that request. Those companies would handle what they receive under their own terms, and deleting an account would not remove a copy held by them.

  • Other hosts that your browser contacts. Some pages load fonts, scripts, or a picture from outside hosts. Each of these hosts sees the visitor’s IP address and browser details and the address of our site, but not the full page address. We send no account data, answers, or learning records to them. The hosts are Google Fonts (all pages), cdnjs run by Cloudflare (Math Quiz and Gallery), jsDelivr (Math Quiz), Plotly (Math Quiz graphs), unpkg (one transcript page), and the Webflow file host (one logo picture). Google Fonts, cdnjs, jsDelivr, and Plotly are also loaded by pages that a child uses.

  • Our contact mailbox. Access requests, copies of shared or downloaded answers, error and security reports, and service notices are sent by email to contact@focusonfoundations.org. The provider that hosts that mailbox stores these emails under its own terms.

  • GitHub (feedback reports only). When an invited tester sends a feedback report as a GitHub issue, we open an item in our private project tracker at GitHub, Inc. The item holds the text of the report, its kind and area, the page path and the release of the site. It does not hold the tester's name, email address, account identifier, screenshot or files. No item is opened for a report from a child account.

  • Other learners, at a learner’s direction. When a guardian copies a Gallery picture to another child, or a learner sends an earned picture to another learner account, that account receives the picture with its title, description, and prompt. A child account receives a picture that a learner sent only after a guardian of that child approves it.

  • Legal and safety needs. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or abuse, or secure the Services.

  • Organizational changes. If Focus on Foundations is involved in a merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of Services, information may be transferred subject to this Policy and applicable law.

  • At your direction. We may disclose information when an adult user or guardian directs us to do so, including the tutor disclosure described in this Policy.

We give information to a provider only so that it can perform its service for us. We do not allow providers to use child information for advertising or marketing. Each provider handles what it receives under its own terms and legal obligations. KWS acts as our service provider when we send the guardian email and KWS sends the verification email. For the card check, AgeGraph, and related verification records, KWS acts as an independent organization under its own privacy policy.

5. Children’s Privacy: Direct Notice to Parents and Legal Guardians

This section gives parents and legal guardians direct notice of our practices for children under 13. Our privacy commitments are subject to any legal obligations required by court orders or government authorities.

How a child account is created

A child under 13 may not create an account independently. An adult must first create and authenticate a parent account, including email-plus consent. The parent or legal guardian then creates the child account, supplies the guardian-controlled plus email address and child display name, and affirmatively agrees to the child-consent statement bound to that standing consent. We record the consent provenance described above.

What we collect from a child

Through the child account and learning applications, we collect the child’s guardian-controlled plus email address, display name, persistent account identifier, learning activity and progress, assignments and settings, SQLite learning files, Gallery request titles and descriptions, Gallery prompts and pictures, and usage or security data. We do not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the available learning activities.

How we use and disclose child information

We use child information to authenticate the child, provide and personalize learning activities, save and show progress, allow guardian oversight, maintain and secure the Services, and comply with law. We disclose it to our service providers only as needed to operate the account and learning Services, or when legal or safety needs require disclosure. We do not sell child information, use it for targeted advertising, or market to children. We do not send child information to KWS or Stripe.

AI providers. We do not send child learning activity, progress, assignments, settings, or learning data files to OpenAI, OpenRouter, or other AI providers. A child account cannot use QRAG. If a guardian chooses signed-form tutor verification, the uploaded form and matching consent reference include the selected child display names and are sent to OpenAI for the limited AI assessment described above. AI picture generation for the Gallery is not switched on. If we switch it on, a guardian’s Generate request would send the title and description of a picture request, which a child may have written, and up to four pictures from the child’s Gallery to OpenRouter and an image company, as Section 4 describes.

Tutors. If a guardian later invites a tutor, we disclose to that tutor the tutor relationship, the selected child’s display name, and the child’s learning progress, assignments, settings, and saved files, and the tutor can set practice plans for that child the same way a guardian can. The saved files are the child’s learning data files and the Gallery pictures that are rewards for quizzes. The statement that a guardian accepts for a tutor says so. A tutor has no Gallery controls.

Other learners. A guardian can copy a Gallery picture to another child in the same family. A child can send an earned Gallery picture, with its title, description, and prompt, to a sibling or to another learner account — including an account in another family — by entering that account’s exact sign-in email address. The sending child’s guardian is not asked. A child who receives a picture gets it only after a guardian of that child approves it; until then it shows only in the guardian’s part of the Gallery, and a declined picture is deleted. A picture that was approved, or that was sent to an individual account, stays in the other account’s Gallery.

Outside hosts. When a child uses Math Quiz or the Gallery, the child’s browser also contacts Google Fonts, cdnjs, jsDelivr, and Plotly, which see the IP address and browser details, as Section 4 describes.

If we intend to share identifiable child information with other third parties — for example with research organizations or partner nonprofits — we would request additional consent for that.

Guardian choices and rights

A parent or legal guardian may:

  • Review the child information associated with the family account.
  • Correct the child’s display name or other editable account information.
  • Delete the child account and its saved learning data through family account controls.
  • Withdraw consent by deleting the child account.
  • Cancel a pending verification, revoke a later tutor relationship, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion, or to ask questions about our child-data practices.

We may need to verify the requester’s identity and authority over the child account before fulfilling a request. A guardian may consent to our collection and use of child information without permitting disclosure beyond the disclosures that are integral to providing the Services, as described in this Policy.

6. Retention and Deletion

Adult account, family, child account, consent, and learning data in current records is retained while the relevant account remains active, until an authorized user uses self-service deletion, or until we perform alpha or Service cleanup. Current user files remain available while the account is active. During the alpha, we do not automatically delete account data merely because an account has been inactive.

Temporary child-consent confirmation challenges expire after about 10 minutes, and family invitations expire after 7 days. We enforce those expiration times when the records are used. Background deletion of expired temporary records is asynchronous, so an expired record may remain in storage for a limited time after it can no longer be used.

How long we keep other records

  • Learner files. We keep the current file and every earlier version of it, so that a file can be restored. Earlier versions are kept until the file or the account is deleted.
  • Gallery. Gallery requests, prompts, and pictures have no automatic expiry and are kept until the account is deleted. A request that is still waiting for its picture can be deleted earlier. A picture upload that was not completed can stay in a holding folder until we remove it.
  • Signed forms. Pending signed-form uploads expire after 30 days and are removed if the guardian account is deleted before approval.
  • QRAG exchanges. We keep a copy of each exchange (the question, the answer, the source passages, the model, and a short hashed form of the account identifier) and a record of each answer job (the question, the conversation, the result, and the account identifier). Our program sets no automatic expiry on them, and we have not set a fixed period yet. Saved conversations are kept until you delete them or the account. Deleting a saved conversation does not delete its exchange copy or its job record.
  • AI use and money records. Monthly use records and transcript download records expire after 400 days. The lifetime record of AI spending, AI credit and purchase records, and payment order records have no automatic expiry.
  • Access requests. Requests to join the alpha and special-access requests expire after 90 days. The special-access list has no automatic expiry.
  • Shared answers. The log of email addresses typed to send an answer has no automatic expiry.
  • Feedback reports. Feedback reports, with their screenshots and files, have no automatic expiry. Removing a report in our review tool takes it off the list; its screenshots and earlier versions stay in storage.
  • Logs and limits. How long we keep security and operational logs depends on the service. Some logs are deleted automatically after a set period. Others have no automatic expiry yet, and we have not set a fixed period for them. The hourly IP-address counters that limit use expire after about 2 hours.

Other Service records are retained only as reasonably needed to provide and improve the applicable Service, maintain security, resolve support issues, and perform alpha operations.

Completed tutor-disclosure consent and the minimum verification evidence — the method, a KWS transaction identifier or Stripe payment identifier where used, and an approved signed form — remain after a tutor relationship is removed or an account is deleted, until a shorter approved schedule exists. We do not store card numbers.

What account deletion removes

When self-service account or child deletion succeeds, it removes the applicable current records under our control: the sign-in record, the profile, family and consent records of the account, learning data and settings, the learner files with every earlier version, the Gallery records and pictures of the account, saved QRAG conversations, monthly AI use records, transcript download records, redeemed access-code markers, and pending signed-form uploads. Tutor relationships of the account are revoked.

What account deletion does not remove

Account deletion does not remove:

  • A marker that the account was deleted, kept so that the account cannot be used again.
  • AI spending records, AI credit and purchase records, and payment order records. The lifetime record of AI spending stays when a spending record exists; its notice email address is removed.
  • Copies of QRAG exchanges and answer job records.
  • The log of email addresses typed to send an answer, and the copies of shared or downloaded answers in our contact mailbox.
  • An entry on the special-access list, which is kept by email address, and the counters that limit searches.
  • Access requests, which are not linked to an account, until they expire.
  • Feedback reports.
  • Logs, until they expire.
  • The completed tutor-disclosure consent and verification evidence described above.
  • A Gallery picture that was copied or sent to another account. It stays in that account’s Gallery.
  • A learner file that a family keeps in its own separate local copy of Math Quiz and has paired with an account. Deletion removes the pairing, not that separate file.
  • Records in your own browser, such as device-mode practice records and preferences. You clear those in the browser.
  • Records that are not under our control, such as KWS’s AgeGraph record or other records KWS keeps under its own policy, Stripe’s payment records, and any copy held by an AI provider.

Limited information may remain temporarily in service-provider backups or point-in-time recovery until those provider-managed windows expire. We may also retain narrowly limited legal or security records when reasonably necessary or required by law. Backup and restricted records are not used to continue the deleted account or for marketing.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These include managed authentication, access controls, encrypted network connections, storage protections, and logging or monitoring for security events. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, an adult account holder or verified guardian may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; obtain information about our collection and disclosure practices; or withdraw consent. Account and family controls provide self-service access to certain correction and deletion functions.

To make a request that cannot be completed through the account controls, contact us using the information below. This includes a request about records that account deletion does not remove. We handle such a request by hand, and we may not be able to find every record that is not linked to an account. We may verify identity and authority before acting. We will not discriminate against a user for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Requests about KWS’s AgeGraph or KWS’s copy of verification data should be sent to KWS at privacy@kidswebservices.com. We can help identify that path; we cannot delete KWS’s independent records ourselves.

9. United States Processing

The alpha is limited to United States families. Focus on Foundations stores and processes account, family, learning, and consent records in the United States. If information is submitted from outside the United States, it will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

Our hosting provider keeps our sign-in, data, and programs in the United States. Website files are delivered through a content-delivery network that has locations in many countries.

If a guardian uses KWS Parent Verification, KWS and its service providers may process the guardian’s email and verification data in the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States, and other countries where they operate. If a guardian chooses signed-form verification, OpenAI and its service providers may process the uploaded form and matching consent reference fields in the United States and other locations where they operate.

For QRAG, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and the companies that run the models process a question and its context where they operate. We do not set or limit that location. Stripe processes payment data where it operates. The outside hosts named in Section 4 receive browser requests where they operate.

10. Third-Party Links

The Services may link to third-party websites or media services, including KWS’s verification pages and email and Stripe’s payment pages. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Policy.

11. Changes and Re-consent

We may update this Policy as the alpha and our practices change. We will post the revised Policy and update its date. If a change materially affects how we collect, use, or disclose account or child information, we will provide additional notice and request updated consent when appropriate or required by law. Consent records identify the policy or consent version accepted.
