Jungle Jive - Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 July 2026 Jungle Jive is made for children, so we built it to collect as little as possible. This policy explains exactly what that means. It is written to be read, not to be survived. The short version: the Jungle Jive app collects nothing. Everything your child does stays on your device. We have no servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no way to see your child's data even if we wanted to.

Who we are

Jungle Jive is made by Jungle George Studio, based in Adelaide, South Australia. Contact: [email protected]

1. The Jungle Jive app

What we collect

Nothing. There is no account, no login, and no sign-up.

What is stored on your device

Everything your child does is saved only on the phone, tablet, or computer you use, in the browser's own storage. This includes:

Your child's first name (optional - you can leave it blank)
Their age band and chosen jungle buddy
Their routines and tasks, including any you customise
Which tasks they completed, skipped, or asked for help with
Their daily feelings check-ins and kind choices
The stars they have earned
Your settings, such as sound and read-aloud

None of this is ever transmitted to us or to anyone else. It does not leave your device. We cannot see it, retrieve it, or restore it.

What that means for you

The app works fully offline, forever.
If you clear your browser data, uninstall the app, or switch devices,

the information is gone permanently. We cannot recover it, because we never had it.

On some phones, browsers automatically clear stored data for websites

you have not visited for a while. Adding Jungle Jive to your home screen usually prevents this.

Read-aloud (voice)

If you turn on "Read tasks aloud", the app asks your device's built-in speech feature to say the task out loud. On most devices this happens entirely offline. Some devices and browsers send the text to be spoken to the operating system maker's servers (for example, Apple, Google, or Microsoft) to generate higher-quality voices. That processing is governed by your device maker's privacy policy, not ours. The text sent is only the words of the task, such as "I brush my teeth" - never your child's name, feelings, or any other data. If you prefer to avoid this entirely, leave read-aloud switched off.

What the app never does

No advertising, ever.
No analytics or tracking of any kind.
No cookies used for tracking.
No selling or sharing of data, because there is none to sell or share.
No AI analysis of your child's feelings or behaviour.
No notifications sent to children.
No social features, sharing, or comparison between children.

2. Our website

Hosting

Our website and app are served by third-party hosting and marketing platforms.

Like any web host, these services automatically record standard technical information when a page loads - your IP address, browser type, and which page you requested - for security and to keep the service running. We do not use these server logs to identify anyone.

Fonts

Our pages use the Nunito typeface, which loads from Google Fonts. When it does, your browser contacts Google's servers, which receive your IP address. Google describes this at policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager) to understand how people find and use our site - which pages are visited, and how visitors move through them. This helps us make the site better. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as your device, browser and general location; it does not tell us who you are by name. You can read how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out across all sites using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We also use the Pinterest tag, which helps us understand when a visit to our site came from Pinterest. It sets cookies and shares limited activity with Pinterest so we can see how well our pins are working. Pinterest describes this in its privacy policy at policy.pinterest.com.

You can control or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking these cookies will not stop you using the site - it simply means we see less about how it is used.

The waitlist

If you give us your name and email address to join the waitlist, they are stored securely in our customer platform and used only to send you occasional updates about Jungle Jive, and to tell you when the app is ready. We will not sell them, rent them, or share them. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your details at any time by emailing [email protected].

3. Our Etsy shop

If you buy the Jungle Jive printable pack through Etsy, Etsy handles your purchase and your personal information, not us. Their privacy policy governs that transaction. We can see the information Etsy shows sellers - such as your name and the email address you use to contact us - and we use it only to deliver your order and answer your questions.

4. Children's privacy

Jungle Jive is designed for children aged 3 to 7, and we take that seriously.

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
The app requires no account and transmits nothing.
The optional first name you enter stays on your device.
Children are never shown advertising, never sent notifications, and

never able to communicate with anyone through the app.

Parent settings are protected behind a simple maths question so that

young children do not change them by accident. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we do not collect it from children either. This is our approach to obligations such as the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the European Union's GDPR protections for children, and the Australian Privacy Act 1988. If you believe a child has somehow provided us with personal information, please email [email protected] and we will delete it.

5. Your rights

Because we hold almost no information about you, most requests are simple:

Your child's app data - you already hold all of it. Clearing the

app's data in your browser settings deletes it permanently.

Your email address, if you joined the waitlist - email us and we

will show you what we hold, correct it, or delete it.

Etsy purchases - contact Etsy, who hold that information.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to complain to a regulator. In Australia, that is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).

6. Data security

The safest data is data that does not exist, and the app's design reflects that: there is no server to breach and no database to leak. Your child's information is protected by whatever protects your device - its passcode, its encryption, and your own care.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change how Jungle Jive handles information, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If a change is significant - for example, if we ever introduced optional cloud backup - we would tell waitlist subscribers by email before it took effect, and it would always be something you opt into, never something switched on for you.
