Children's Privacy Notice

Children cannot sign up for Doorpost. A parent creates each child's profile and decides what it holds. A child uses Doorpost on the family's kitchen tablet (the “wall”) or a parent's device, by tapping their name and, if the parent set one, entering their PIN. A child's session on the wall ends after 15 minutes.

When you add a child under 13 (or leave the birthday blank), we ask you to confirm that you are the child's parent or guardian and that you have read this notice. We record that confirmation, its version and the time.

From the parent: the child's first name, colour and avatar, and, if you add them, birthday and school type; a wall PIN (stored only as a one-way hash); chores, memory verses, courses, lessons and attendance; and photos you upload. If you write a care sheet for a sitter, it can hold the child's allergies, medications, conditions, doctor's name and phone number, and bedtime and comfort notes; you choose what to write.

From the child, on the wall: chores they mark done, requests they send to a parent, prayer requests, devotion and reading notes, and what they type to the Scripture coach. Children can type their own words in some of these, so they may mention other people.

Alerts: if a parent turns on alerts for a child's profile, the push address of that device.

We do not ask a child for more information than an activity needs, and we do not collect a child's email address, phone number or location.

Only to run Doorpost for your family: to show your child their list, verses and lessons, to let you see and approve what they did, and to keep your family's records. We do not show ads to children, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not sell children's information.

The service providers listed in our Privacy Policy store and process it for us: Vercel (hosting and photos), Neon (database), Clerk (parents' sign-in) and Resend (email to parents).

AI features. Some features use our AI provider, Anthropic (through Vercel's AI Gateway), and only when we have switched AI on for Doorpost. In the assistant, meeting reflections, calendar sorting, forwarded emails and the Scripture coach, a child's name is replaced with a placeholder such as “Child 1” before anything is sent, and the real name is put back in the answer you read.

A child's age and grade (to sort calendar events), a child's own words in the Scripture coach, and photos are sent only after a parent turns on Let AI use the children's details in Settings → Privacy. It is off until a parent turns it on, and a child can start the Scripture coach only if a parent also allows that. When a parent asks for lesson ideas, the grade level the parent chooses is sent with the topic.

Other families. Doorpost does not share a child's information with other families.

Music players. If a parent pins a song, the Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube player loads from that company when the song is played. YouTube's player is loaded in its privacy-enhanced mode.

• See and change what your child's profile holds, in the app, at any time.
• Stop further collection: remove the child from the family in Settings, or ask us to.
• Download a copy of everything Doorpost keeps for your family, including your child's information, in Settings → Family → Your family's data. A parent can delete the whole family on the same page; it waits seven days so it can be undone, then everything goes for good.
• Download one child's information, or remove it while keeping the rest of the family, on the same page. If you would rather we did it for you, write to hello@doorpost.app.
• Keep Let AI use the children's details off, or turn it off at any time.

Using Doorpost never requires you to let us share a child's information with anyone beyond the providers that run it.

We keep a child's information while your family uses Doorpost, until you delete it or ask us to. When a parent deletes the family, everything is removed for good after the seven days to change your mind. Deleted information can stay in our database provider's backups for a short time before it is overwritten.
