Who we are

Awe Garden is made and run by Pradeep Miriyala, who decides what is kept and why (the “controller” of the information below). To reach us, see “Contact” at the end.

What stays on your device

These are kept in your browser or app, on your device only, and are never sent to us:

• your child’s name (and how to say it), age and favourite colour;
• the settings you choose, and which game and level were last used;
• each round your child plays: what was right and wrong, hints, how long it took and whether they moved on, for the progress report; the sticker book; the mazes they solved;
• photos you add (the Jigsaw, Family Faces, routines), the names with them, and your own voice recordings;
• your PIN, as a scrambled code (never the digits themselves).

If you delete the app or clear your browser’s data, they are gone, and we cannot recover them. In “For parents” you can forget your child’s details, clear the sticker book and progress, delete the report data, and delete photos and recordings one by one.

What we keep on our server

• Your access code. The code, the name or email it was made for, when it was made, first used and ends, and, for each device using it, a short description (such as “iPhone · Safari”), a random number the app makes for that device, and when it was last used. Deleted 90 days after the code ends. A device not used for a month gives up its place.
• Guesses at codes. To slow someone who is guessing, a short one-way name made from an internet address (never the address itself) is counted. Deleted within a day.
• Messages you send us. Feedback, and a request for a code, with what you wrote and, if you add one, an email address to reply to. Kept for up to a year, and not linked to anything else. The person who runs Awe Garden is told at once by a message to their phone, with the same words (see “Who else is involved”).
• Community Corner, only if you join. The display name you choose, your posts and replies, the thank-yous you give, any report you make, and the people you hide. Other parents see your display name and your words, never anything about you or your code. Behind the scenes your words are tied to your access code, which only we can look up, so that someone who breaks the rules can be stopped. If you delete a post or reply, its words are erased at once. Something we remove is deleted for good after 90 days. Your display name is forgotten a year after you were last there; what you wrote stays under that name unless you delete it.
• A record of what the person who runs Awe Garden does, such as making a code or taking a post down. It never holds a password, a whole access code or an address. Deleted after 180 days.

Counting visits, only if you allow it

By default we count visits anonymously, to know how many people use the games: which game is open and how many rounds are finished, and which pages are looked at. There is no name, no address and nothing that identifies you or your child, and no cookie. Nothing is counted if your browser says “Do Not Track”, or if you switch counting off under Privacy in the parents’ area. You can also choose to share your child’s first name and age group with us; that is off unless you turn it on, and switching it off deletes what was shared.

Who else is involved

We use a few services to run Awe Garden. They handle information for us and not for their own purposes:

• Hosting: Google (Firebase App Hosting) serves the pages.
• The database: MongoDB Atlas holds what is described under “What we keep on our server”.
• Messages to the person who runs Awe Garden: when feedback or a request for a code arrives, or something in Community Corner is reported, a message with the same words (and an email address, if you gave one) goes to their phone through Telegram.
• The typeface: the lettering is loaded from Google Fonts, which can see your device’s address when it does.

We do not sell information, and we do not show advertisements.

Children

Awe Garden is for children to play with a parent or carer, and for the adult to set up. We do not ask a child for any information, we do not track a child, and what a child does stays on the device. Links that leave the app, the parents’ area and play mode are all behind a PIN that only the adult knows. If you think we hold information about a child that you did not intend to send, tell us and we will delete it.

Your choices

• Look at, change or delete what is on your device in “For parents”.
• Switch counting off, or stop sharing your child’s name, under Privacy.
• Take a device off your access code on the “Your code” page.
• Edit or delete your own posts, hide a person, or report a post, in Community Corner.
• Ask us to show you, correct or delete anything we keep about you, using the contact below. You may also have rights under the law where you live, and we will respect them.

Keeping it safe

Information travels over secure connections. Access codes are signed and can be stopped at any time; the parents’ PIN is kept scrambled; passwords and tokens are never written to our records. No service is perfectly safe, so we keep as little as we can and delete it when it is no longer needed.

Changes

If what we keep or why changes in a way that matters, we will update this page and its date, and tell you in the app before the change applies.

Contact

Questions, or a request about your information: use Feedback in the parents’ area, or write to Pradeep Miriyala through the contact page at pradeep.miriyala.in/contact.
