Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 July 2026

Little Yakka (“Little Yakka”, “we”, “us”) is a chore-and-reward app that helps parents and guardians organise tasks and rewards for their children. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Little Yakka is operated from Australia by Kiran Jassi.

Little Yakka is designed to be set up and managed by a parent or guardian. Children do not create accounts or provide information to us directly — a parent or guardian enters and controls any information about a child.

Information we collect

We keep the data we collect to the minimum needed to run the app:

Parent/guardian account: your email address, and your name if you provide it. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email from that service.
Children’s profiles (entered by you): the child’s first name or nickname, an optional profile photo, and an optional age. This is provided by the parent/guardian, not by the child.
App content: the chores, rewards, stars, and related activity you create in the app.
Technical data: basic information needed to operate and secure the service (for example, log and device data such as a push-notification token if you enable notifications).

We do not collect payment information, and we do not use third-party advertising or tracking/analytics SDKs.

How we use information

To provide and personalise the app (create profiles, track chores and rewards).
To sign you in and keep your account secure.
To send notifications you have opted into (e.g. chore reminders).
To maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the service.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use children’s information for advertising or profiling.

Children’s privacy

Little Yakka is intended for use by parents and guardians. Any information about a child is entered and controlled by the adult who set up the account. As the parent/guardian, you can view, edit, or delete a child’s profile and data at any time from within the app. If you believe a child has provided us information directly, contact us and we will delete it.

How your information is stored and shared

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the app. They process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes:

Supabase — database, authentication, and photo storage (hosted in the Asia-Pacific / Sydney region).
Vercel — application hosting and delivery.
Google and Apple — only if you choose to sign in with them, to authenticate you.

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). We do not sell or rent your information, and we only share it as needed to operate the service or where required by law.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete individual children, content, or your entire account at any time from the app’s settings. Deleting your account removes your family’s data from the app; residual copies in backups are removed in the ordinary course. To request deletion or ask a question about your data, contact us using the details below.

Your choices and rights

Access, correct, or delete your data from within the app.
Turn notifications on or off at any time.
Depending on where you live (e.g. Australia or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights to access, correct, or erase your data, or to lodge a complaint with your local privacy regulator.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
