Privacy, in plain words

A parent or guardian creates the account and adds their children as artists. Children don't sign up or log in themselves.

• Your email address and login (passwords are stored hashed by our login provider, never readable).
• Each artist's name, birthday (used to show their age on each piece) and their drawn avatar or photo.
• Photos of the artwork, plus the titles, dates, words and voice recordings you add.
• Comments left by you and the family you invite.
• If you turn on notifications, the address your browser gives us for delivering them.
• If you choose to add one, your ZIP code, used only to find art events near you.
• If you join the Little Folio Kit waitlist, the age group and how often you'd want a box.

Only you, and the people you invite to a particular artist's gallery. Photos sit in private storage and are shown through short-lived links, so a copied link stops working.

The community page is off unless you switch it on. Even then, only pieces you choose are shown, with the artist's age and words, never their name or birthday.

Cards can carry a QR code that plays a voice note. Scanning it opens a simple page with that piece, its title, the artist's first name and age, and the recording, for anyone holding the card. It is off unless you add it, and you can switch it off from the card maker at any time.

• No ads, and no selling or renting your information.
• No training AI models on your children's art or words.
• No tracking cookies. We use a login cookie, and your browser remembers your light or dark choice.

Adding a ZIP code is optional. Once a week we search public websites for kids' art events and art news in that area, using an AI service (Anthropic) that receives only the ZIP code, never your name, email or anything about your children. You can remove your ZIP code in Settings at any time.

The “For young artists” and “Gift ideas” pages link to other companies' websites. Some of those links may earn us a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We don't send them anything about you or your children; what you do on their site is covered by their own privacy policy.

Gift ideas are only shown to the family you invite if you turn them on for that child. If you add a wishlist link, invited family can open it; the store, not Little Folio, handles your address. If you join the Little Folio Kit waitlist, we keep the age group and how often you'd want one, and may email you about it. You can leave the list at any time.

If you join a family group and share a child with it, the people in that group can see that child's first name, age and art, your name, and comments and hearts on that art. Anyone holding the group's invitation link can join, so send it only to family. Leaving the group, or being removed, ends this right away.

Your data is stored with Supabase (database, files and login) and the site is hosted on Vercel. Push notifications travel through your browser maker's push service (such as Apple, Google or Mozilla).

Cropping, cut-outs, colouring pages and the drawing pad all run on your own device. If you use the microphone button to dictate words, your browser's own speech recognition handles it, which may send the audio to Apple or Google to turn it into text. Voice recordings you save are stored with your gallery.

In Settings you can download everything (photos, words and recordings) in one file at any time. You can also delete a piece, an artist or your whole account. Deleting removes the files from storage, not just from view.
