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.

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.

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 store what you typed: your email address, an optional first name for your child, and what you asked for. We use it for one purpose: to reply to you and build what you asked for. We do not add you to a mailing list. To have it 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.

Where data lives

The site and its small database are hosted on Cloudflare, in the United States.
