Privacy & Child Safety

Who this notice is for

Jadon & Richard's Learning Adventures is a children's learning site. Accounts, purchases and Episode Friend entries are for adults, not children. This notice explains what information the site collects and how it is used. Please read it before creating an account or sending a child's information.

What we collect

• Parent account: email address, sign-in credentials or Google sign-in information, and account details needed to sign in and contact you.
• Subscription and shopping: purchase and subscription status and transaction identifiers. Payment details are entered through our payment provider, Stripe, rather than the Episode Friend form.
• Episode Friend, only if a parent chooses to enter: the child's first name and photo; the parent's full name and consent; and, if provided, the child's age, favorite things and a short description. We also keep submission status, votes and the account associated with the entry.
• Technical information: the services that run the site may process information needed to deliver pages, secure accounts, play media and diagnose errors, such as device and connection data.

We do not ask children to create an account or directly submit their own information. Reading aloud sends the selected word or line to a voice service; it does not need a child's name or photo.

Why and how we use it

We use parent account information to provide sign-in, subscription access and service messages. We use Episode Friend information to review entries, show approved candidates to signed-in subscribers for voting, contact the parent if their child may be selected, and, only after speaking with the parent about next steps, potentially make an animated character for an episode or short movie. Entry and voting do not guarantee selection.

Let KB help you: site helper

Live voice is available to signed-in parent accounts. It is a helper for using the site: KB greets the caller by first name, says hi back when greeted, and points the caller to games, episodes, coloring, reading and other activities. Starting a call requires a grown-up acknowledgment and sends the caller's microphone audio to the AI voice provider through a real-time connection, and uses the caller's supplied nickname for the greeting. KB never asks for a last name, location, school, contact details, photos or payment details. Conversation text is held temporarily during the call to answer questions. The app does not save call recordings or conversation transcripts to family accounts. Service providers may process technical data and retain operational logs under their own applicable terms; this is not a guarantee of zero retention.

End call stops microphone capture and playback. Do not include a child's name, school, location, contact details or other personal information in the call. Before children's independent calls open, the operator must establish voice-specific disclosures, required verified parental consent, provider/data-handling terms, retention and deletion arrangements. Existing account or photo checkboxes do not authorize children's live voice collection.

Who can see an Episode Friend entry

A submitted photo starts in a private review queue visible to the submitting parent and authorized reviewers. If approved, the child's first name, photo, optional age and favorite things can be seen by signed-in subscribers in the voting queue. They are not posted in the public voting area. Other subscribers can cast votes. We will contact the parent before using a child's likeness in publicly released video; uploading a photo is not permission to publish a finished episode or movie.

Service providers and sharing

Our hosting and account services store and protect accounts and submitted files. Stripe handles payments. Google may handle sign-in if you choose it. Our voice service receives only text selected for reading aloud. Authorized reviewers access child entries to screen them. We do not ask families to post a child's information publicly to use the learning activities. A future episode or movie featuring a child would have a separate parent discussion before release.

Your choices and deletion

Entering a child is optional. You can see and remove your own Episode Friend entry and its photo from My Account. Once removed, the entry will no longer be in the voting queue. Email info@jandonandrichard.com to request access, correction or deletion of other account information or withdraw consent. Account, purchase and entry information is kept while needed to provide the service, handle requests and meet applicable legal obligations; exact retention periods still need to be set before collecting children's information.

Parents and international visitors

Children's privacy laws vary by location, including COPPA in the United States and data protection laws in Europe. This site is intended for parent-managed accounts. An on-screen checkbox alone does not verify parental identity. The operator must arrange any required verifiable parental consent and jurisdiction-specific notices before collecting a child's personal information where those rules apply. Until then, do not submit a child's photo or details.

Contact and changes

Operator: Jadon and Richard Learning Adventures LLC. Privacy questions: info@jandonandrichard.com. A postal mailing address and verified contact channel still need to be confirmed before children's entries open. We will update this page when our practices change and request fresh permission where required.
