Privacy
Last updated: August 22, 2026
The short version
screentime.games is a set of free games for kids, made from what a parent or teacher types in. The games themselves collect nothing about a child. We do not run ads, we do not use third-party trackers, and we never sell or share data.
What the games collect: nothing about a child
Playing a game needs no account, no name, and no sign-in. When you make a game from a list (a spelling list, math facts, vocabulary pairs, quiz questions), the list and any name you type are encoded into the link itself, after the # sign. Browsers never send that part of a link to a server, so the words you type stay on your device and in the link you choose to share. We cannot see them.
One honest caveat that cuts the other way: because the link contains the list and the name, anyone you give the link to can read them. "Private" here means we never store or see them — it does not make the link safe to post somewhere public. Share it the way you'd share the words themselves.
What we count
We keep aggregate counts: how many times a page was viewed, how many times a game was started or finished, per day. These are totals, not records of people. They carry no name, no account, no device identifier, no IP address, no cookie. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, also keeps standard aggregate request statistics, as every host does. The totals we keep are readable by anyone at /api/insights — they are just counts, and contain nothing about anyone. That dashboard is new and still being wired up: if it shows bound: false or all zeros, that means the counter isn't live yet, not that the site has had no visitors.
What a parent may give us, and what we do with it
If you fill in a form on this site (to ask for a custom game, or to leave your email), we try to store what you typed: your email address, an optional first name for your child, and what you asked for. If that storage step is unavailable, the form instead hands you a pre-filled email to [email protected] so your request reaches us that way instead — a person reads it either way, but only the stored path leaves us a record we can look up later. Either way, we use what you sent for one purpose: to reply to you and build what you asked for. We do not add you to a mailing list. To have a stored request deleted, email [email protected] from the same address and we will remove it.
Family accounts
Some features (a family page with each child's own game shelf and avatar) require a parent to sign in with a phone number. These are for families we know and are not yet open to the public. For those accounts we store the phone number, the children's first names as entered by the parent, and the avatar and game choices the family makes. A parent can ask us to delete the account and everything in it at any time.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Every form on this site is addressed to a parent or teacher. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email [email protected] and we will delete it. We designed the site to collect nothing from a child in the first place — no accounts, no names required, nothing identifying — which is the simplest way to stay within COPPA, the United States children's online privacy law.
Where data lives
The site and its small database are hosted on Cloudflare, in the United States.
