Privacy Policy - Dr-Kids

Last updated: August 2026

Who we are

Dr-Kids (drkids.app) is a free parental-control web app that lets parents build a private whitelist of YouTube videos for their children; nothing is shown to a child before explicit parental approval. It is built by an independent developer registered in Saudi Arabia (freelance license FL-141494999).

Data we collect

There are no accounts. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any identifying data about you or your children.

• Local data on your device only: the approved video library, child profiles (a nickname and cartoon avatar chosen by the parent), the parent PIN (stored hashed), time limits and the watch log - all stored in your browser and never sent to us.
• What passes through our servers: when searching channels or screening videos, only video titles and channel names are sent to the screening service. Screening results (verdict, reason, category) are cached in a shared store keyed by the public video ID, with no link to you or your device.
• Service protection: IP addresses are used solely for daily request counting to prevent abuse - never for tracking or identification.

Third-party services

• YouTube: playback uses the official YouTube embedded player, governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. We use the youtube-nocookie domain where possible.
• AI screening: video titles are screened via the Anthropic API to classify child-suitability. Titles only - no personal data.
• Hosting: the app is hosted on Netlify; the shared cache is stored in Google Firebase.

Children's privacy

The app is built to protect children: it collects no data from them, shows no ads, contains no analytics tracking, and offers the child no search beyond the parent-approved library.

Your rights

Your local data is yours: export, import and deletion are available in the parent dashboard, and clearing browser data erases it completely. Contact: Drconfident2017@gmail.com
