Clayviss is operated by Bellalu Management LLC ("Clayviss," "we," "us," or "our"). This policy explains what information Clayviss collects, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. Because Clayviss involves a child's reading activity — and because that activity can reveal a family's faith — we treat this information with extra care and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including the amendments that took full effect on April 22, 2026, and, for families in the EU/UK, the GDPR's protections for children.
Clayviss is a parental-control service. A parent or guardian installs it, sets it up behind a parent passcode, chooses what is locked, and decides the rules. There is no child login and no child account; the child uses a device the parent has configured. Because children read the passages, we treat all reading-activity information as a child's personal information and comply fully with COPPA — we do not rely on any argument that the service falls outside COPPA.
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising or to build advertising or marketing profiles. We do not use third-party advertising networks, data brokers, or third-party analytics. We do not track you or your child across other apps or websites.
The first time Clayviss opens, before any setup and before any information is collected or sent anywhere, the parent must read and agree to this policy. Setup does not begin, and no data is reported, until the parent gives verifiable consent. If you do not agree, Clayviss does not collect or transmit any information.
How we verify that consent is given by a parent. Clayviss is installed and configured by an adult on a device they control, behind a parent passcode they set. Before any information is collected, the parent must review this policy and affirmatively agree at first launch, providing their email address; we record that agreement, the policy version, and the date and time. We send a confirmation notice to that email. This consent is further supported by the parent's Apple Account, through which the subscription is managed. Because we never disclose a child's personal information to any outside party for that party's own use (see Section 4), this combination is an appropriate method of verifiable parental consent for the information Clayviss collects.
We store this consent record — the parent's email, the policy version agreed to, and the date and time — so we can honor requests and re-obtain consent when needed. If we make a material change to how we handle a child's information, we will present this policy again and ask the parent to agree before the change takes effect.
When cloud reporting is active, each device reports only its own activity so the parent can see it from their phone. This includes:
This reading-activity information, including the device and family identifiers, is a child's personal information under COPPA, and we treat it that way. These identifiers are used only to run the service for the parent (to label devices and route each device's own data); they are not used to contact the child, to advertise, or to track the child across other apps or services.
We do not collect a child's name, birthdate, photos, contacts, precise location, or any government identifier. Clayviss does not ask for a child's age; the parent selects a reading mode directly.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; we do not receive or store your card number. We receive from Apple only what is needed to know a subscription is active and to record parental consent as described in Section 1.
We use the information above only to:
We do not use this information for any other purpose, and we do not use it to build advertising or marketing profiles of children or to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on a child.
We share information only with service providers that help operate Clayviss, and only as much as they need. These providers are bound by contract to protect the information, to use it only to perform services for us, and not to use it for their own purposes.
We do not share information with advertising networks, data brokers, or third-party analytics services. We do not sell or "share" (as those terms are used in U.S. state privacy laws) a child's personal information, and we do not disclose a child's personal information to any third party for that party's own purposes.
We establish, implement, and maintain a written information security program appropriate to the sensitivity of children's data, consistent with COPPA's requirements. That program:
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect information consistent with its sensitivity. If we learn of a data breach affecting a child's personal information, we will notify affected parents and any regulators as required by applicable law, without undue delay.
We keep a child's reading activity only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service to the family, and never indefinitely:
Some limited records required for tax, accounting, or legal purposes (for example, records tied to the donation program) may be kept longer where the law requires, but these do not include a child's reading-activity detail beyond what the law requires.
As a parent or guardian, you may at any time:
To make any of these requests, contact us using Section 12. We may need to verify that you are the parent or account holder before acting, to protect the child's information. We honor verified requests promptly and, for deletion, within 30 days.
Turning off cloud reporting, or declining consent, does not stop the core app from working on the device — the lock and read-aloud features run on the device and do not require reporting.
Clayviss stores a child's reading-activity data at the direction of the parent, and we comply with COPPA in full:
For families in the EU/UK, we rely on parental consent (and, for information that may reveal religious belief, explicit consent) as the legal basis for processing a child's information, and we honor the additional rights the GDPR provides.
If you believe we have collected information from a child without proper parental consent, contact us using Section 12 and we will delete it.
Clayviss presents prayers and passages from multiple faith traditions. The passages a child reads, and the reading modes a parent selects, may reveal or suggest a family's religious beliefs. Information that reveals religious belief is treated as sensitive personal information under U.S. state privacy laws and as a special category of data under the GDPR.
We handle this information with heightened care:
Clayviss is offered to families in the United States. We operate from the United States, and information is processed and stored in the United States.
If we later make Clayviss available outside the United States, we will update this policy to identify the safeguards we use for transferring information across borders, and you may contact us using Section 12 for details.
Depending on where you live, U.S. state privacy laws may give you rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to opt out of the sale of personal information or targeted advertising. Clayviss does not sell personal information, does not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and does not use it for targeted advertising. For a child's information, a parent may exercise these rights on the child's behalf using Section 7. We do not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.
If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above. For any material change to how we handle a child's information, we will present this policy again in the app and ask the parent to agree before the change applies.
