How Cosmic Cadets protects your kid

“Data Not Collected” — literally

Cosmic Cadets has no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party trackers of any kind. There's no account to create and no login. Your child never types a name, an email, or a birthday. On the App Store privacy label, that adds up to the strongest category there is: Data Not Collected.

Where your child's progress lives

XP, badges, finished missions and the code your child writes are saved on the device — never uploaded. That's a deliberate trade-off worth being honest about: because nothing leaves the device, progress doesn't automatically follow your child to a different iPad or survive a reinstall. We think that's the right call for a kids' app — no cloud profile of your child exists anywhere to lose, sell, or breach. (Your one-time purchase is the exception: it lives with your Apple ID, so you can restore it on a new device for free.)

AI literacy — without a chatbot

Cosmic Cadets teaches kids how AI actually works through hands-on playgrounds. It is not a chatbot, and your child does not talk to an AI. Nothing your child does is sent to any AI service or server — the AI lessons are self-contained and run on the device like everything else. More on our approach to AI literacy →

Purchases and links stay behind a grown-up gate

There's one optional purchase — a one-time $14.99 “Unlock All Missions,” with no subscription and nothing that renews. It sits behind a quick parental gate, as does any link that would leave the app. Buying is handled securely by the App Store, and Family Sharing means one purchase covers your kids.

The only thing we ever ask for: a parent's email — if you offer it

The app asks for nothing. This website has one optional form: a launch waitlist where a parent can leave an email to hear when the app ships. We never ask for a child's email, we use a reputable email provider, and you can unsubscribe or ask us to erase your address at any time. As an EU company (Meno Data AB, Sweden), we treat that list under GDPR.

Made for the Kids Category rules

Designing for Apple's Kids Category and COPPA means the hard rules are the easy ones for us: no third-party ads or analytics, ever; purchases and external links behind a parental gate; and no behavioral profiling of children. We didn't bolt privacy on — the app was built so there's simply nothing to collect.
