Plain language privacy notice
We collect less because families deserve better.
The MakeJoy Labs website is intended for parents, caregivers, educators, and other adults. Our first research survey is anonymous and is not designed to collect information that identifies a child or family.
Effective August 1, 2026
What the parent survey stores
The survey stores only the answers an adult chooses to submit:
- The adult’s general role, such as parent, caregiver, or educator
- The broad age ranges they are thinking about
- Creative interests and technology concerns
- The written idea they choose to share
- The date and time the response was received
The survey does not ask for names, email addresses, child birth dates, school names, home addresses, photographs, or account information. Please do not put identifying information in the written response.
What we do not use
We do not use advertising pixels, behavioral advertising, session replay, cross site tracking, or analytics inside a child experience. We do not sell or license survey responses or family information.
Website infrastructure
The website and survey are designed to use Cloudflare for hosting, security, and database storage. Like most infrastructure providers, Cloudflare may process ordinary technical information needed to deliver and protect the service, such as network requests and security events. MakeJoy Labs does not use that information to build profiles of children or families.
Anonymous responses and deletion
Because the survey does not request identity or contact information, we usually cannot connect a stored response to a specific person later. If you accidentally include identifying information, contact us as soon as possible with enough detail to locate the response and we will make a reasonable effort to remove it.
Children’s privacy
Children should not submit the parent survey. MakeJoy Labs does not currently provide child accounts, public profiles, chat, or cloud saves. Every future product will receive its own privacy review before family testing or public release.
Changes to this notice
We will update this page when the website begins using a new service or collecting a new category of information. Material changes will be described plainly.
