Who these rules protect
These dedicated rules supplement the Privacy policy for ChoreCheers, operated by 杨楠. They cover children under 14, including children with their own accounts.
Before a child uses cloud features, their guardian reads the notice and these rules, actively confirms their role and consent, and verifies their own email address with a one-time code. Merely reading these rules, receiving a code or being a household owner does not constitute consent. Email verification confirms access to that mailbox, not legal identity or the guardian relationship.
What cloud use involves
An account processes login information, a nickname and selected avatar. Household collaboration processes household membership, chores, duration, points, dates, notes, reactions and related achievements and reports. Authorized household members can see shared activity. Do not enter a child’s legal name, school, address or other unnecessary identifying details.
The confirmation flow records the under-14 age band, not a birth date, identity document or facial image. It records the guardian-email verification method, encrypted contact address and keyed address digest, policy version, confirmation and verification times and the associated child account. The child uses their own login; their login email must differ from the guardian contact email. The guardian does not need a separate app account.
The guardian’s choice
The guardian must read the short explanation and these rules, actively confirm their guardian role and consent, or refuse. Nothing is preselected. A household owner is not automatically treated as the child’s guardian. Completed confirmation is kept for the account; ordinary app use does not require another code. A different account or a material policy change may require confirmation again. Contact us about a child’s cloud use or consent if you need help.
Refusing cloud consent leaves local trial recording available. It must not automatically upload existing local records. Consent to cloud use does not automatically authorize photo saving, notifications, subscriptions or external sharing. Material changes to the purposes or scope require renewed consent when applicable.
Providers, location and protection
The backend and database are hosted on Alibaba Cloud in Beijing, mainland China. Email delivery processes the recipient address and verification message. Apple services support Apple sign-in, payments and optional remote notifications. Apple processing, the chosen email provider and external sharing may involve processing outside mainland China; see the main Privacy policy for the data involved and provider contact links.
Network requests use HTTPS. The guardian contact address is encrypted in our database and is not shown in household activity. Account and household permissions restrict access. No advertising SDK, identity-document check or facial check is part of this flow. Provider processing and any necessary separate choices are described in the main Privacy policy; accepting this page does not substitute for those choices.
Retention, withdrawal and deletion
A guardian code expires after 10 minutes and an unbound consent permit after 30 minutes. An enabled background task runs every 60 seconds and removes up to 100 expired challenges and 100 expired unbound permits per pass. Expiry does not itself erase records; downtime, processing locks, failures or a backlog may delay cleanup. Verification-email abuse prevention uses keyed email/IP digests and event times for a 24-hour quota window, with batch cleanup as described in the main Privacy policy. Bound consent records and permits are removed with account deletion. Subscription evidence, support correspondence, backups and exported copies follow the separate limits in that policy.
For an account with completed guardian confirmation, open Account & Security → Withdraw guardian consent and delete account to withdraw that consent and request deletion. Read and confirm the deletion consequences first. Once withdrawal is recorded, ordinary cloud access stops. If deletion cannot finish, for example because Apple is temporarily unavailable, the account stays restricted to necessary management and retrying deletion. A new confirmation does not cancel a pending withdrawal. The permanent account-deletion entry and contact channel are also available for access, correction or deletion requests.
Deleting the child’s account preserves other household members’ own records. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription or recall exported copies. The main Privacy policy describes the live-database deletion scope, backup limits and records needed for subscription verification and rights requests. Signing out alone does not delete the account.
Responsibility and contact
Contact 18730938002@163.com for child privacy requests, suspected unauthorized collection or a concern about guardian confirmation. State the request and enough information to locate the relevant account; never send a password, verification code or full identity document.
The operator, 杨楠, receives child privacy requests through this contact. We verify only the information needed to handle a request. Where a security incident requires notification, we will take corrective action and notify affected guardians as required.
