Skunkworks School makes tools for kids and the grown-ups who care for them. We keep as little as we can, we never sell it, and we never show ads. Here is exactly what we keep, and why.

The short version

• No ads. No tracking. No selling or sharing your information for marketing.
• You can start the Daily Chart without an account.
• We keep only what the tools need to work, and we delete old records on a schedule.
• A grown-up can ask us to delete everything at any time.

This website

The skunkworks.school homepage and Settings page collect nothing about you. Your settings (dark or light colours, and text size) are saved only in your browser on this device. We never receive them.

We set no cookies and run no analytics. Our hosting provider handles the basic information every website needs to deliver a page, like your IP address. It uses that only to run and protect the service.

The Daily Chart

The Daily Chart helps a family keep track of chores and routines. To do that, it keeps:

• About your family: a family name you choose and your time zone, so "today" ends at the right time.
• About each child: a first name or nickname, an emoji picture, and a colour. You choose all three. We don't ask for last names, birthdays, photos or schools.
• Chores and points: the chores you set up, when they were ticked off, points earned and spent, prizes, and gifts of points between siblings.
• Calendar notes, if you use them: school days off, packed or school lunches, and days a child was away. A day away is saved as "unwell", "away", "holiday" or "other", plus an optional note for your own memory.

Starting without an account

When you first open the Daily Chart, we create an anonymous account for this browser. It has no name or email attached. Your chart is stored on our servers under that account, so it works the same way a full account does.

If you clear your browser's data before signing in, you'll lose access to an anonymous chart, and we can't get it back for you. We'll remind you before that can happen.

Signing in

A grown-up can sign in with Google to keep the chart safe and use it on other devices. We then receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. The chart you already made stays exactly as it was.

Signing in is for grown-ups. Children use the chart without an account of their own.

Sharing with another grown-up

A signed-in parent can give a second parent or caregiver access to the same family by handing them a one-time invite code. The code expires after 7 days. We never add anyone from an email address alone. Either grown-up can end the sharing at any time.

Children's privacy

Our tools are made for children to use with a grown-up. A grown-up sets up the Daily Chart; a child ticks things off. We follow the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):

• We collect only what the chart needs to work, and nothing more.
• We don't show ads, profile children, or share children's information with anyone for marketing.
• Children never need to give us an email address, or sign in with one.
• A parent or guardian can see or delete their child's information at any time. Contact us.

If you think a child has given us information without a grown-up's permission, tell us and we'll delete it.

How long we keep things

• Lunch plans and school calendar notes: 30 days, then deleted automatically.
• Ticked-off chores and days away: 180 days, then deleted automatically. That's why reports go back six months.
• Your family, children, chores, prizes and point totals: until you ask us to delete them.
• Unused invite codes: 7 days.

Services we use

We rely on a few companies to run Skunkworks School. Each one handles your information only to provide its service to us:

• Supabase stores the chart and runs sign-in, on servers in the United States.
• Google handles sign-in, only if you choose to sign in with Google.
• Cloudflare hosts the website.

Everything travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Only your family, and anyone you invite, can see your family's chart.

Typing & technology, also from Skunkworks, has its own website and its own privacy policy.

Your choices and rights

• Ask to see the information we hold about your family.
• Correct it. Most of it you can change yourself in the chart.
• Ask us to delete all of it, including your account.

Depending on where you live, you may have other rights too, such as under California law or the EU's GDPR. Contact us and we'll help.

Changes to this page

If we change what we keep or how we use it, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
