Privacy and children's data

Habitat Hero is built for children from age 5, so it keeps as little as possible and starts with everything at its most private.

What we keep about a student

• The first name and avatar you chose, and their class.
• Their login card code and pictures, stored scrambled so nobody can read them back.
• Their progress in the game: answers, badges, species and recent activity.

No surname, email address, birthday or photo.

Who can see it

• You, for the students in your own classes.
• The child, on their own device.
• Other children can’t see anything about each other.

Chat

• Chat is off for every class until you turn it on.
• Every message is checked for safety before and after the reply.
• Messages are sent to our AI provider to write the reply. Children’s messages are hidden in our monitoring logs.

Removing a student’s data

• Archiving a class locks its students out, and after 30 days deletes their accounts and progress.
• Deleting a single student straight away: Delete on the class page. Their account, progress, badges and login card go at once.
• Deleting a class straight away: archive it, then Delete now.
• A copy of the data: Download data for one child, or Download your classes’ data on the Account page for everything.
