Privacy policy

The short version

By default, your child's profile and results are stored only in your browser, on your device, and never leave it. If you choose to buy the full report, you create an account and we then store your profile and results securely in our database so you can log in and open them from any device. Payments are handled by Stripe, we never see or store your card details. We never sell your data, and we only use privacy-respecting analytics if you accept (see below).

What is stored on your device

• • The child profile you create (first name or nickname, age, country, and any optional background details).
• • Module results and the screening-depth setting.

Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it permanently. We recommend using a first name or nickname only.

Accounts and payments

Free users stay on-device: nothing is uploaded. When you purchase the full report, we create an account tied to your email and store your child's profile and screening results in our secure database (hosted by Neon) so you can retrieve them on any device. Login is passwordless, by a one-time email link, so there is no password to leak.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your card number. We keep a record of your purchase (amount, currency and date) to provide your access and a receipt. You can ask us to delete your account and all stored data at any time by emailing contact@giraffelens.com.

Backup files

The optional “Download backup file” feature saves a copy of the profile and results to a file youcontrol. Treat it like any document containing information about your child: store it securely, and share it only with people you trust (for example, your child's teacher or psychologist).

PDF, share and email features

Report PDFs are generated entirely on your device. The Share button uses your device's own share sheet; the Email button opens your own mail app with a summary you can review before sending. In both cases the content goes only where you send it.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand which pages people visit and how the site performs. Analytics is set to denied by defaultusing Google Consent Mode, so no analytics cookies are set until you choose “Accept” on the banner. We store one small item to remember that choice. None of this includes your child's profile or screening results, which never leave your device.

We collect aggregate, non-identifying usage events (for example, a report was viewed or a module was completed), never the content of a result. You can decline analytics, or clear your site data at any time. If we ever add optional accounts or payments, this policy will be updated first, and any new data collection will be opt-in and clearly explained.

Children's data

The screening is completed by children, with a parent or carer setting it up and consenting. Because nothing leaves the device, no children's personal information is collected by us under privacy legislation including the Australian Privacy Act, the GDPR or COPPA.
