Privacy Policy

Last updated 31 July 2026

Kidlife helps a parent record short voice memories of their child and keep them, transcribed, in a private timeline. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We do not run advertising, we do not track you, and we do not sell your data.

Who this policy is for

Kidlife is operated by a parent (an adult) who records memories of their own child. The account holder is the child's parent or guardian and provides consent for the child's data described below. The app is intended for adults; it is not directed to children as users.

What we collect and why

Data	Why
Email address	To create and secure your account.
Your child's name and birthday	To label memories and show how old your child was — you may leave the birthday out.
Audio recordings (including your child's voice)	The core feature — the moments you choose to keep.
Transcripts and tags	Derived from your recordings so they're readable and easy to find.
Device push token	Only if you turn on reminders, to send an optional gentle nudge.
Subscription status	Handled by the App Store / Google Play to unlock your plan.

We do not collect location, contacts, photos, health data, or browsing activity, and we use no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking.

How recordings are processed

Transcription runs on our own hardware in the EU — recordings are not sent to a third-party transcription service. If that ever changes, we will name the processor and its region here before enabling it.

Where your data lives

Data is stored with our hosting provider in the European Union (Frankfurt), and encrypted backups stay within the EU. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.

Children's data

Recordings, transcripts, and your child's name and birthday are your child's personal data. As the parent and account holder you are the consent-giver for that data (COPPA verifiable parental consent; GDPR Article 8). Only you — and any co-parent you explicitly invite — can see your family's memories.

Sharing

We do not share your data with third parties for their own use. A co-parent you invite with a code can see and add to your family's memories. Our hosting provider processes data on our behalf under their data-processing terms; they are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Your rights

Ask for a copy of your data by emailing us — we'll send it within one month.
Ask us to correct your child's name or birthday by emailing us — we'll action it within one month.
Delete your account from inside the app. Memories only you can see are deleted with it; if you share a family with a co-parent, the memories you both keep stay with them.
Deleted data leaves our live systems straight away, and leaves backups as those age out — currently up to 12 months for database backups. We are still extending this to audio backups. We do not restore deleted data from a backup.
