Privacy notice
Last updated November 11, 2026
It Adds Up is a private, invite-only app for families. Parents hold the account and decide what's collected about their children. We don't show ads, sell data, or use analytics or tracking of any kind.
What we store
| What | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Parents' names, emails and phone numbers | Sign-in, and calls or notifications for alerts | While you're a parent on the account |
| Children's first names, the names they use on school sites, and a PIN (stored scrambled) | The kids app, and checking he's signed in to his own school account | While the account exists |
| Which website was open on the school PC, once a minute | Showing parents how the school day went | 90 days |
| Screenshots of school pages taken at check-in | Proof he's signed in to his own school account | 90 days |
| PC reports (blocked sites, tamper checks, sound turned back on) and alerts | Keeping the school day honest | While the account exists |
| School videos he asked for: link, time, class and reason | So parents can see what was watched for school | While the account exists |
| Assignments, check-ins, chores, allowance, points, rewards, reflections and kudos | The features themselves | While the account exists |
| An audit trail of every change: who, what and when | So nothing can be changed without it showing | While the account exists; it can't be edited |
We don't collect location, contacts, messages, keystrokes, camera or microphone, or anything from the children's phones beyond what they enter in the kids app.
Who can see it
- The parents on your family account can see everything about your family.
- Each child sees his own day, chores, money and points in the kids app.
- No other family can see anything. The database refuses every request that isn't from your family, and parents sign in with two steps (an emailed code and an authenticator app).
- We don't look at your family's data except to fix a problem you ask us to fix.
Where it's kept
- Supabase stores the database, in the United States (Oregon), encrypted at rest and in transit.
- Cloudflare serves the website. The site's code and fonts come from itaddsup.app itself; nothing loads from other companies.
- ntfy delivers phone notifications. The alert's title and short description pass through ntfy's servers to your phone, on a private topic only your family knows.
- Twilio places alert phone calls, once calling is set up. It receives the parent phone number and the alert's title.
Deleting data
A parent can remove a child, a PC or another parent from the app. To delete your whole family account and everything in it, email info@itaddsup.app from a parent's address and we'll delete it within 30 days, including backups as they expire.
Children
The children using It Adds Up are under their parents' supervision, and their parents set up and control the account. Children can't create accounts, and the kids app only works with a code and PIN a parent provides.
