Sahasra AppsPrivacy Policy
Who we are
Sahasra Apps ("we", "us") runs sahasraapps.com and the apps on it, such as Junior Pros (Doctor, Vet, Pilot, Chef, Scientist and the other careers). Contact: hello@sahasraapps.com.
What we collect
| Information | Do we collect it? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Names, emails, phone numbers, photos, location | No | No app asks for personal information. The first name a child types into an app stays in that browser and is never sent to us. |
| App progress (scores, badges, profiles) | No, unless cloud save is on | Saved in your browser's local storage on your device. We can't see it. You can delete it any time by clearing the site's data or using "Start over" in the app. |
| Cloud save (optional, off by default) | Only if a grown-up turns it on | A grown-up can turn on cloud save on an app's Parents page. We then store that child's game progress only (points, badges, levels) under a random word code such as OTTER-MAPLE-COMET-47, so it can be used on another device. No name, email or account is stored: names are removed before saving. Anyone with the code can see and add to that progress, so keep it private. "Turn off and delete" removes it right away; unused progress is deleted after about 13 months. To stop people guessing codes, a scrambled (hashed, with a secret key) form of the network address is kept for 10 minutes and can't be turned back into the address. Stored with Cloudflare. |
| Visit counts (analytics) | Yes, anonymous | We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views, only to keep the site working well (for example, to see which pages are used or slow). It doesn't use cookies, doesn't build a profile of anyone and doesn't track individuals across sites. It records things like the page visited, country, browser type and referring site, in aggregate. It is never used for advertising. |
| Technical server logs | Handled by our host | Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes IP addresses briefly to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. We don't use this to identify visitors. |
| Emails you send us | Only if you write | If you email us, we use your message only to reply, and delete it when no longer needed. |
Junior Pros app for iPhone and iPad
The Junior Pros app (every career in one app) collects no data. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no in-app purchases, and it never sends anything to us.
| Information | Where it stays |
|---|---|
| The child's first name and chosen picture | On the device, and in the family's own iCloud if iCloud is on (Apple's key-value storage, used to sync progress between the family's devices). We can't see it. |
| Progress (XP, badges, scores, study plan) | Same as above: on the device and in the family's iCloud. Delete it with "Start over" on the Parents page, or by deleting the app. |
| Anything else | Nothing else is stored or sent. The app does not use the camera, microphone, location or contacts. "Read to me" uses the device's own voice. |
Grown-up areas (the Parents page and sharing or printing certificates and posters) are behind a parental gate question. On the App Store the app's privacy label is "Data Not Collected".
How long we keep information
| Information | Kept for |
|---|---|
| App progress in your browser or device | Until you delete it ("Start over", clearing site data or deleting the app). We never receive it. |
| Cloud save progress (if turned on) | Until a grown-up chooses "Turn off and delete", or about 13 months after it was last used, whichever comes first |
| Scrambled network address (cloud save guessing protection) | 10 minutes |
| Anonymous visit counts | Kept by Cloudflare Web Analytics in aggregate form only |
| Emails you send us | Only as long as needed to answer, then deleted |
We don't sell, rent or share information with anyone, and we don't use it for advertising.
Cookies and ads
We don't use cookies, advertising, tracking pixels or social-media widgets. Fonts and images are served from our own site, so loading a page doesn't contact other companies (apart from our host, Cloudflare).
Children's privacy
Some of our apps are made for children under 13. We designed them so that no personal information is collected from children, consistent with the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). There are no accounts, no chat, no ads and no ways to contact strangers. The optional cloud save stores only game progress under a random code, with no name or other personal information, and only after a grown-up turns it on. The only things a child types are a first name, which stays on the device and is removed before any cloud save, and answers to games. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example, by email), contact us and we'll delete it promptly.
Parents' rights
A parent or guardian can at any time:
- See the progress kept for their child: it's shown in the app, and on the Parents page for cloud save.
- Delete it: "Start over" removes progress on the device; "Turn off and delete" removes the cloud copy right away. If you've lost access to the device, email us the save code and we'll delete the cloud copy.
- Stop any further storage: leave cloud save off (it is off unless a grown-up turns it on).
Requests: hello@sahasraapps.com. We reply within 30 days, usually much sooner.
Your choices
- Delete app progress: use "Start over" on the app's Parents page, or clear this site's data in your browser settings.
- Turn off cloud save: Parents page → Cloud save → "Turn off and delete". The online copy is deleted right away.
- Back up progress: use "Download backup" on the app's Parents page. The file is saved to your device only.
- Questions or requests: email hello@sahasraapps.com.
Changes
If our apps ever start collecting information, for example with optional accounts, we'll update this page before that happens and change the date at the top.
