The Toddler Office

Privacy, in plain words

The Toddler Office is a website for very small children, used with a parent. Because it is directed at children, this page says exactly how it handles information. It is short, because almost nothing happens.

What we collect: nothing

The toy runs entirely in your browser. The site is static files — no server receives anything, because there is no server to receive it. No accounts exist. The toy sets no cookies. No analytics run on the play screen, and the play screen makes zero network requests after it loads.

What stays on your machine (and only there)

Three things exist, and all three live in this browser:

  • the names you type for the letterhead
  • her paintings
  • the session numbers behind the performance reviews

The names sit in this browser’s local storage; the paintings and the session records sit in its local database (IndexedDB). None of it is transmitted anywhere — there is nowhere to transmit it to. The review images render on your device. Sharing one is your choice, made by you, with your own apps.

The erase button

Open the front desk (hold the bottom-left corner, then the bottom-right), choose “Close the company,” confirm. The names, the paintings, the records — deleted, and the office reopens as if on day one. Deleting the browser profile erases everything too; the toy keeps no copy to restore from.

These marketing pages

The pages you are reading now — not the toy — use self-hosted, cookie-less page-view counting (Umami), so one person can see whether anyone visited. It counts pages, not people. No third-party ad-tech runs anywhere on this site.

The subscribe form, if you use it, sends your email address to the newsletter service (today that is Beehiiv). That is the one place an email address ever travels, and it travels because a parent typed it on purpose.

Directedness assessment (the formal bit, kept short)

This site is directed at children under 13 within the meaning of COPPA. It collects no personal information from children and sets no persistent identifiers in the toy, so the parental-consent machinery has nothing to consent to. Reviewed and documented by the operator, June 2026. Counsel review is committed before any paid product, any app-store release, or any feature that touches data.

Questions: [email protected].

Effective 12 June 2026. Changes will be listed here, in plain words.
