Privacy notice

Effective September 26, 2026

In short: no accounts, no names, no cookies, no ads, no selling of data. We keep a pseudonymous record of searches for up to 13 months to run the service and stop abuse.

Who we are

Choicely Kids is operated by Choicely. It answers searches for children's activities made through AI assistants (such as Muse), our web API and this website. Contact: support@choicely.ai.

What we collect

• Your search. The search terms you or your assistant send (activity type, keyword - which we store only up to 60 characters - child's age in years, days and times), the approximate search area rounded to about 1 km, the results page, the number of results and the time. Please don't put names or other personal details in search text.
• A pseudonymous client identifier. A keyed, one-way hash of the network (IP) address the request came from, or of the partner key used. We use it to apply usage limits and detect abuse. We don't store the address itself, and we can't turn the hash back into it.
• Link clicks. When a result link is followed: the kind of link, which listing, whether the link was still valid, and a random tag identifying which client received it.
• Security records. Warnings and temporary blocks triggered by unusual use, tied to the pseudonymous identifier.
• Hosting logs. Our hosting provider, Google Cloud, automatically records each request, including the IP address, the page or API address requested (which for our web API includes the search terms), the browser or app type and the time. While we set up the service we also log the first three parts of the IP address (for example 203.0.113.x) to recognize traffic from AI platforms.
• Emails you send us, and whatever you choose to include in them.

We do not collect names, email addresses (unless you write to us), precise location, contacts or payment information, and we don't use cookies, advertising or analytics trackers.

AI assistants

When you use us through an AI assistant, we receive only the search the assistant sends - not your conversation, account or identity. What the assistant itself collects is governed by its provider's privacy policy (for Muse, Meta's).

How we use it

To answer searches; to operate, secure and debug the service; to enforce our terms, including detecting bulk copying; to understand, in aggregate, what parents look for so we can improve coverage; and to respond to you.

Who we share it with

• Service providers that process it for us under contract: Google Cloud (hosting), Supabase (database) and GitHub (internal daily operations report, which contains only shortened pseudonymous identifiers and totals).
• Authorities or others when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety or property of users, providers, us or the public.
• A successor if the service is sold or merged, under this notice.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

How long we keep it

Search, click and security records: up to 13 months, then deleted automatically. Hosting logs: about 30 days. Emails: as long as needed to handle your request.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and stored with our providers; the service reaches the database through a restricted account that can only run a fixed set of queries. No system is perfectly secure.

Children

The service is for parents, guardians and other adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. A child's age in years, given as a search filter, is not linked to any identity. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live - for example under the California Consumer Privacy Act - you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to have it deleted or corrected, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We don't sell or share personal information, or use sensitive personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. To make a request, email support@choicely.ai; an authorized agent may also do so for you. Because we keep only a one-way hash of network addresses, we may need your IP address at the time of use to find any records, and may be unable to link records to you.

Do Not Track

We don't track you across other websites or services, so we treat all requests the same whether or not a "Do Not Track" signal is sent.

Changes

We will post any update here with a new effective date, and note material changes at the top of this page for at least 30 days.
