Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
Play & Learn Arcade is run by Gusain Studio. It is made for kids, so we collect as little as we can, and a parent or guardian is always in charge of a child's profile. This page explains, in plain language, what we store and why.
- Anyone can play without an account. Guests' progress stays in their own browser.
- Only adults create accounts. Kids never need an email address or their full name.
- No ads, no tracking or analytics, and we never sell or share your data.
- There is no chat and no public profile. Kids can't contact other people through the site.
- You can download or delete your family's data at any time.
Playing as a guest
Without an account, games save progress and creations in your browser's local storage on that device. That data is not sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.
Family accounts
A parent or guardian creates the account and confirms their email address. By doing so they give consent for the kid profiles they add.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Parent: name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), a family code, when you agreed to this policy, and when you last signed in | To run your account, let you sign in, and send account emails |
| Each kid: a first name or nickname, an avatar picture, an optional grade range, and an optional picture password (stored only as a secure hash) | So kids can pick their profile and sign in, and so each kid's progress stays separate |
| Kids' saves: level progress and scores, game settings, and creations such as stories, poems, songs, pixel art and creatures | So progress and creations are the same on every device the kid uses |
Some things always stay on the device and are never uploaded: Animation Flipbook drawings, the Kaleidoscope painting, and sound settings.
Kids' stories and poems contain whatever they type. We suggest reminding kids not to write addresses, phone numbers or other personal details in their creations.
Emails
We only send emails about your account: confirming your email address, resetting your password, and telling you when your password is changed or your account is deleted. We never send marketing email, and we never email kids.
Cookies and technical data
- We use one cookie that keeps you signed in. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
- To protect accounts from password guessing, we record sign-in attempts together with the network (IP) address they came from. These records are deleted after 2 days.
- Like all websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP addresses and pages requested) for security and troubleshooting.
- The read-aloud feature uses your browser's built-in speech. Some browsers use online voices run by the browser maker.
Who else handles the data
The website, database and email are hosted by our hosting provider, Hostinger, which stores the data on our behalf. We don't share your data with anyone else, except if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
- Account data and kids' saves: until you delete them.
- Deleting a kid profile removes that kid's saves immediately. Deleting your account removes everything immediately.
- Accounts whose email address is never confirmed are deleted after 14 days.
- Copies may remain for a short time in our hosting provider's regular backups before they are overwritten.
Your choices
After signing in on the Grown-ups page you can:
- See and download everything we store about your family (Download our data).
- Change your kids' names, avatars, grades and picture passwords.
- Delete a kid's profile, or your whole account.
You can also ask us to do any of this, or ask a question, by emailing contact@gusainstudio.com.
Keeping data safe
The site only works over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Passwords and picture passwords are stored as one-way hashes, and repeated wrong guesses are paused. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your family's data and will tell you if something goes wrong.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you've already given us, we'll email account holders first.
