Safe and private
Built for kids, kept in Australia
What we keep about your family, where it lives, and who can see it. In plain words.
Our promises
Six things that are true for every family
Stored in Australia
Your family's information is stored in Australia.
No ads, no ad trackers
We don't sell your information, and there's no advertising in the app.
Kids can't message anyone
There's no chat, and no way for strangers to reach your kids.
PIN sign-in, no email for kids
Kids sign in with their own PIN on a family device. Grown-ups' passwords are stored scrambled.
Nothing to buy with real money
Sparks are earned by doing jobs. They can't be bought, and nothing in the app costs money.
Names stay private by default
A pal only says your child's name if you turn that on. Then their first name and job names go to our voice service to be spoken.
What we keep
- Your first name, email, family name and time zone.
- Each child's first name, their PIN (scrambled) and their pal.
- Jobs, checks, pocket money, and game progress.
- How the app is used, counted without names or what anyone types.
Your choices
You're in charge of your family's account and what's in it.
- Download your family's data, or one child's.
- Ask us to delete it.
- Turn the pal's voice and name-saying off.
We never touch your money
PocketPals keeps track of pocket money. It doesn't hold, move or pay money, so there's no bank login and no card for kids.
