- Their games and lesson progress
- Nothing leaves the device until you pair it
When you start the trial
- A family record and a device record, with no name or picture
- Which plan you chose and when it renews
- Never your card: the App Store handles payment
When you pair in GCC Parents
- Your name, email and a scrambled password
- Each kid’s made-up name and critter
- Their games, backed up, and anything they choose to share
How the app keeps kids safe
A grown-up check
Buying, starting the trial and pairing sit behind a check on the kid’s device: a number written in words, typed on a keypad.
Friends need two yeses
Kids play together only in a group a grown-up in each family has approved. Group names are two made-up words, never typed.
Nothing to type to anyone
There’s no chat and no free text anywhere in the app. Kids react to each other’s games with picture stickers.
You choose who sees their games
Family by a link you send, or friend groups you approved. Our staff review anything that’s reported, and pick everything in Featured by hand.
No ads, ever
No ads, no ad trackers and no outside analytics in the kids’ app. And we never advertise to kids, anywhere.
No pings to kids
The kids’ app never sends a notification. Reminders and reports come to you.
Kids’ privacy law, in plain words
In the US, COPPA is the law that protects the privacy of children under 13. It says an app for kids must get a parent’s permission before collecting a child’s personal information.
We built Game Creators Club so there’s nothing personal to collect. Kids never sign in, never type their name and never chat. Our server holds nothing about a child until a grown-up acts, and then only a made-up name, a critter, their games and what they choose to share.
It’s made for the App Store’s Kids Category.
Delete everything, any time
In GCC Parents, Your data has two keys: Download everything, and Delete our family. Deleting takes the kids, devices, games, saved progress, replays and group places with it. Or write to us and we’ll do it for you.
