Privacy

StickerChart is a small, free, ad-free sticker chart for parents and teachers. We collect only what we need to run the service - your sign-in email, the board and child names you choose, and the stickers you award. With your permission we also use analytics cookies to see which features get used. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. Boards are accessible only via their unique link, and we tell search engines not to index any board page.

StickerChart is operated as a personal project. If you have any questions about this policy, your data, or want to exercise any of your rights below, email hello@stickerchart.app.

• Account data:the email address you use to sign in. This is the only personal detail we ask for. If you choose "Continue with Google", Google also shares your name and profile picture with us. Our auth provider stores these with your account, but StickerChart doesn't display or use them.
• Board content you create:the board name, each child's first name, age (optional), avatar emoji, accent colour, list of tasks, goal target, and goal reward.
• Sticker activity: a row per sticker awarded - which child, which task (or that it was a bonus), which emoji, and when it was awarded. We use this to render the chart and compute totals.
• Technical data: a session cookie issued by our auth provider so you stay signed in.
• Usage analytics:which pages you visit and which features you use (for example "sticker awarded" or "task added"), plus basic device and browser details. We record these actions, not what you type, so children's names and task names aren't included. If you accept analytics cookies and are signed in, this is linked to a random account ID (not your email). If you decline, or haven't chosen yet, we only count visits anonymously. See Cookies below.
• Feedback (optional):if you answer one of our short surveys or send feedback, we store your answers in PostHog with the same usage analytics details, including anything you choose to type (such as an email address if you'd like a reply). Please don't include children's names. If you accept analytics cookies and are signed in, we also note when your account was created, so surveys only go to people who've used StickerChart for a while.

Your email address is used to sign you in and to send the weekly summary. Board content and sticker activity are used to provide the service - to render your chart, sync it across your devices in real time, and let other people you share the link with view it. If you've used a board in the last four weeks, we also email you a short summary on Sunday evenings: each child's first name, avatar, stickers that week, streak and goal progress. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can turn it off or back on from your dashboard. We don't use any of this data for advertising or profiling. Usage analytics help us understand which features are useful and spot bugs, and feedback tells us what to improve. We rely on your consent for analytics cookies, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the service working for the anonymous, cookie-free counts.

Data is stored in a Supabase project hosted in London. Magic-link sign-in emails and the weekly summary are sent through Resend. If you sign in with Google, Google handles that sign-in under its own privacy policy. Usage analytics are processed by PostHog on its EU servers, and page-view statistics by Vercel Analytics, our hosting provider. Error reports go to Sentry. A nightly backup of the database is encrypted before it leaves Supabase and kept on GitHub for 30 days; GitHub can't read it. All of these handle data on our behalf under data processing agreements.

• You, when signed in.
• Anyone with your board's share linkcan view (but not edit) the chart. Treat the link the way you'd treat a fridge photo.
• The service providers listed above, only to run the service on our behalf. We don't share, sell, or trade your data, and nothing is used for advertising.

Search engines are explicitly told not to index any /board/ or /dashboard pages via robots.txt and per-page noindex meta tags.

StickerChart is intended to be used about children by parents, teachers, and carers - not bychildren directly. Only the adult creating the board holds the account. We collect the minimum needed: a first name, optional age, and the tasks the adult has decided to track. We don't collect surnames, photos, location, contact details, or any other identifying information about children.

Essential:an authentication cookie from our auth provider keeps you signed in, and we store your cookie choice so we don't ask again. Your browser also remembers small preferences on that device, like tips you've dismissed. These don't need consent.

Analytics (optional):once you're signed in, we ask whether you're happy for us to use analytics cookies. If you click "Accept", PostHog sets a ph_*cookie and uses local storage to recognise your browser between visits. If you choose "No thanks", or before you've signed in and chosen, nothing is stored on your device and we only count visits anonymously.

We don't use advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time: Cookie settings.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and ask for a portable copy. Most of these you can do yourself by signing in - you can edit any board content directly, and delete your account from the bottom of your dashboard. For anything else, email hello@stickerchart.app and we'll action any request within 30 days.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

We keep your account and board content for as long as your account is active. Deleting your account from the dashboard immediately removes your account and the boards you own. Copies in our encrypted backups expire within 30 days. If you ask us by email instead, we delete all related data within 30 days, with the exception of anything we're required to retain for legal reasons (we don't currently retain anything for that reason). Usage analytics are kept for up to 12 months.

If we make material changes, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will also be flagged in the app.
