1. Who We Are

FamilyQuest AI ("we", "us", "our") is a web-based family motivation and reward application available at familyquest.online. We are based in the United Kingdom.

For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, FamilyQuest AI is the data controller for any personal data we process in connection with this service.

2. What Data We Collect

Data stored locally on your device (never sent to us)

• Family member names and avatars you enter into the app
• Task names, star values, and completion history
• Reward names and redemption history
• Star totals, levels, and streak data
• Premium status (stored as a local flag after purchase)

This data is stored using your browser's localStorage and never transmitted to FamilyQuest AI servers. It exists only on your device.

Data we may receive

Data Type	When Collected	Purpose	Stored by Us?
Anonymous AI prompt text	When using AI Coach	Generating AI responses	No — passed to Anthropic, not stored
Anonymous family stats	When using AI Coach	Contextualising AI advice	No — not identifiable, not stored
IP address	Every page visit	Server logs, security	Briefly — standard web server logs, deleted after 30 days
Browser/device type	Every page visit	Analytics	Aggregated only — no individual tracking
Payment confirmation	On Premium purchase	Unlocking Premium	No — handled entirely by Stripe

3. How Local Storage Works

FamilyQuest AI stores your family's data in your browser's localStorage — a built-in feature of all modern web browsers. This storage:

• Exists only on the device and browser you use
• Is not shared with any server, including ours
• Persists between sessions unless you clear it
• Does not sync between devices automatically
• Can be deleted at any time through your browser settings

Because we do not hold your family's data on our servers, we cannot recover it if you clear your browser storage. We recommend noting your family setup if you plan to use multiple devices.

4. AI Features and Data

Premium users have access to the AI Family Coach, powered by Claude AI (created by Anthropic). When you use this feature:

• Your typed question is sent securely to our AI proxy server
• Anonymous family stats (task counts, streak length, completion rates) may be included for context
• No family member names, personal details, or identifying information are included
• Our proxy forwards the request to Anthropic's API and returns the response
• We do not log or store the content of AI conversations

Anthropic processes these requests in accordance with their own privacy policy. Anthropic does not use your prompts to train their models in the context of API usage.

The legal basis for processing this data is performance of a contract — you have purchased Premium access which includes this AI feature, and this processing is necessary to provide it.

5. Payments

Premium purchases are processed entirely by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. When you make a purchase:

• You are redirected to Stripe's secure payment page
• FamilyQuest AI never sees, stores, or processes your card details
• Stripe may collect your name, email, card details, and billing address for fraud prevention and legal compliance
• We receive only a confirmation that the payment was successful

Stripe's data handling is governed by Stripe's privacy policy. Stripe is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Cookies we set

FamilyQuest AI does not set tracking cookies. We use localStorage (not cookies) to store your app data. We may set a session cookie for security purposes only, which expires when you close your browser.

Analytics

We may use privacy-preserving analytics to understand how the app is used in aggregate (e.g. how many visitors, which pages are visited, what devices are used). This data is always aggregated and anonymous — no individual users are identified or tracked.

Third-party scripts

The following third-party scripts may be loaded on our pages:

• Google Fonts — loads font files from Google's servers. Google may log your IP address. Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense (blog pages only) — serves advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to personalise ads. You can opt out via Google Ad Settings.
• Stripe.js — loaded on payment pages for fraud prevention

7. Children's Privacy

FamilyQuest AI is designed for use by parents and families. The app may include profiles for children, but:

• Child profile data (name, avatar, task history, stars) is stored only on the parent's device — never on our servers
• We do not knowingly collect any personal data about children through our servers
• Children do not interact with any server-side features; all gamification runs locally
• AI coaching features are designed for parents — children are not expected to interact with them directly
• Parents are responsible for ensuring the app is used appropriately by children in their care

If you believe we have inadvertently received any personal data about a child, please contact us immediately at the address below and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restrict processing — you can ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability — you can request your data in a portable format
• Right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests

Because almost all your data is stored locally on your device, most of these rights can be exercised directly — by deleting your browser's localStorage. For any data we do hold (server logs, AI proxy logs), please contact us using the details below.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
