Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 2026

RiseOhana helps families turn household responsibilities into quests that kids actually want to do. That means your child's data passes through our hands. We take that seriously.

This page has two parts. Part 1 is a plain-English summary of what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. Part 2 is the full legal policy with every detail. Both parts say the same things — Part 1 just says them faster.

Who this is for: Parents and legal guardians of children under 13. You are our user. Your child participates through you.

Who we are: RiseOhana, Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation. We are the sole operator of the RiseOhana mobile app.

Questions? Email privacy@riseohana.com. We respond within 7 business days.

What We Collect

We only collect what the app needs to work. Here is what that looks like, based on how you and your child use RiseOhana.

When you create a parent account

When you add a child

When your child completes a quest

When your child earns rewards

When your child uses their own device

These are session-scoped or app-scoped identifiers, not persistent hardware identifiers.

Automatically

What We Don't Collect from Kids

This matters. RiseOhana does not collect any of the following from children:

We do not serve ads to children. The app is ad-free for kids.

Who Sees Your Data

We share data with six service providers. That’s it — no data brokers, and the app itself contains no ad networks or analytics SDKs. Our public website is separate and does use analytics; see Our Website below.

OpenAI — Quest Photo Verification & AI-Assisted Authoring

When your child submits a quest photo, it goes to OpenAI's Vision API for automated analysis. OpenAI receives: the photo, the quest description, and your child's age range. OpenAI does not receive your child's name, your name, or any contact information. OpenAI retains photos for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deletes them. They do not use photos to train AI models. We have a Data Processing Agreement in place.

If you use the optional AI-assisted authoring feature, the messages you type to our assistant go to OpenAI to generate quest suggestions. Your child's name is removed (replaced with a placeholder) before those messages are sent. OpenAI processes them as a service provider — it does not train on them or sell them. This is your own data as an adult, not your child's.

Why this isn't optional: AI quest verification is how RiseOhana works — it's how the app checks whether the task was actually done. This is a core part of the service, like how Stripe processes payments.

Stripe — Payment Processing (Parent Only)

Stripe handles subscription billing. They receive your payment method and billing info. They do not receive any child data — no photos, no quest data, no child names.

OAuth Providers — Sign-In (Parent Only)

Google, Apple, or Microsoft handle your sign-in. They provide us your name and email. They do not receive any child data.

Firebase Cloud Messaging — Push Notifications (Parent and Child)

Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) delivers push notifications to both parent and child devices. FCM receives a device-specific push token and notification content (e.g., “You have a quest due!”). FCM does not receive your child's name, photos, quest data, or any personal information beyond the push token. We use FCM solely for notification delivery — not for Firebase Analytics, crash reporting, or any other Firebase service.

Amazon Device Messaging — Push Notifications on Fire Tablets (Parent and Child)

If your family uses the App on an Amazon Fire tablet, Amazon Device Messaging (ADM) delivers push notifications to that tablet, in place of Firebase. ADM receives a device-specific push token that Amazon itself issued, an internal identifier for the child the notification is about, the kind of notification it is, and a generic title and body (e.g., “You have a quest waiting!”). ADM does not receive your child's name, quest or reward names, photos, point balances, or anything either of you typed. We use ADM solely for notification delivery on Fire tablets — nothing else.

If a Fire tablet is offline, Amazon holds the undelivered notification in its queue for up to 7 days before discarding it. There is no way for us to recall a notification already queued at Amazon, so a deletion request cannot reach one. It expires on its own within 7 days.

Email Provider — Notifications (Parent Only)

We use an email service to send you transactional messages (consent verification, account notifications). Your child's first name may appear in these emails in context (e.g., “You approved Emma's quest”). Children do not receive email from RiseOhana.

That's the complete list.

The RiseOhana app does not use: Firebase Analytics, behavioral analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude), crash reporting SDKs (Sentry, Crashlytics), advertising SDKs, social media plugins, or data brokers.

Our Website

Our public website — the pages you can visit without signing in — uses Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager. It records the pages visited, the browser and device type, and the approximate location derived from the IP address. Some pages also carry advertising conversion tags from Google and Reddit, which tell us when a visit led to an app install.

This is ordinary website analytics about visitors. It is not connected to your account, and it never receives child data — no names, photos, quest activity or wallet information. Signing in, resetting a password and confirming an email address all happen on pages that carry no analytics at all.

The setup page a parent opens on a child’s device deliberately omits the advertising conversion tags that our other pages carry.

Your Rights as a Parent

Security

No security system is perfect. In the event of a breach affecting children's data, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.

Changes to This Policy

If we make a material change — new data collection, new third parties, changed retention periods — we will:

  1. Email you before the change takes effect
  2. Post the updated policy in the app and on our website
  3. Get new parental consent if required by COPPA — material changes that involve new data collection or new third-party sharing will not take effect until you provide updated consent
