Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This website and its services (collectively, "Growing Balanced") are operated by Growing Happy Littles LLC. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how we protect it.
What we collect
- Account info: name, email address, hashed password.
- Child profile info you enter: child's first name, age, sensory preferences and answers, parent goals, schedule steps, tracking notes.
- Sharing info: emails of caregivers / therapists you invite, and their assigned role.
- Usage events: basic activity (e.g., quiz completed, plan generated, activity started) so we can improve the product.
What we DO NOT do
- We do not sell your data. Ever.
- We do not advertise to your child.
- We do not share your child's profile with third parties for marketing purposes.
Who can see your child's profile
Only you, and the people you explicitly invite (with the role you choose: Viewer, Logger, or Editor). Other Growing Balanced users have no access to your child's profile. Each user only sees their own data and the data others have shared with them.
How we protect your information
- Passwords are stored only as a one-way hash (bcrypt) — never in plain text.
- Connections to our servers use HTTPS encryption.
- Only authenticated users can read or write data; child profiles are scoped to owner + accepted invitees.
- We use trusted infrastructure providers (e.g., for hosting, database, transactional email).
Service providers we use
To run Growing Balanced, we may use third-party services for hosting (cloud infrastructure), database storage, and transactional email (e.g., to deliver feedback messages or invitation emails). These providers process limited data on our behalf and are bound by their own security and privacy obligations.
Cookies & local storage
We use a session cookie and local storage to keep you signed in and to remember small UI preferences (e.g., whether you've dismissed a tip). We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Your rights
- Access: you can view your data anytime in the app.
- Edit: you can edit child profiles, plans, and notes anytime.
- Delete: deleting a child profile permanently removes that profile, schedule, sensory routine, shares, and tracking history. You can delete your account on request.
- Withdraw shares: you can revoke access from caregivers / therapists at any time.
Children
Growing Balanced is intended for use by parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists — not directly by children. Accounts are for adults (18+).
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email.
