Kopal is a private, invite-only app that helps a parent and their child's caretaker share one always-current view of the child's day - activities, meals, sleep and nappy logs, milestones, health records, and emergency information. This page explains what we collect, why, and who can see it.
Kopal is used by parents and the caretakers they invite (for example, a nanny) - both adults. There's no public sign-up for caretakers: a caretaker can only join a family after a parent generates an invite specifically for them. Children do not use the app, create accounts, or interact with it directly.
About you: your mobile number (used to sign in), your name, your role (parent or caretaker), and your language preference. If you allow notifications, a device token so Kopal can send you notifications.
About the child: date of birth, milestones reached, diet preferences and ingredients to avoid or prefer, week meal plans and which foods have been tried, sleep, nappy and water logs, activities done, allergies, doctor contact details, emergency contacts, and notes between caregivers (including optional short voice notes).
Health records (optional, entered by a parent): doctor visits with questions to ask and notes from the visit, and weight and height measurements. If a parent adds a measurement, we also ask whether the child is a girl or a boy, only to pick the right World Health Organization growth chart. Kopal records this information; it does not diagnose or give medical advice.
App usage and crash reports: we use Google Firebase Analytics to see which features are used (for example, which screens are opened), and Firebase Crashlytics to receive reports when the app crashes. These are tied to an app-generated identifier, not to your name or number, and carry only general details such as your role and language. We do not use the advertising ID.
We do not collect location, photos, contacts, or browsing data, and Kopal has no ads.
Every field above exists to give a parent and a caretaker the same, current picture of the child's day, and to help us fix problems and improve the app. We do not use this information for profiling, advertising, or resale.
A child's information is visible only to the caregivers linked to that specific family. Caretakers can see most information and can log activities, sleep, nappies and water, write notes, and add questions for a doctor visit. Growth measurements and notes from doctor visits are visible to parents only, unless a parent chooses to share a visit note with caretakers. Only a parent can change diet, milestones, doctor visits and emergency information. When a parent removes a caretaker, that person immediately loses access.
We use Google Firebase to store data, sign you in, send notifications, and provide the analytics and crash reports above - Google acts as our infrastructure provider. We don't sell data or share it with advertisers.
Kopal is directed at parents and caretakers, not at children, and no child creates an account or directly provides information to us. Information about a child is entered by the adult caring for them, for that adult's own use.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest via Firebase/Google Cloud. Server-side access rules independently enforce that only a family's own linked caregivers can read or write its data, and that parent-only records stay parent-only. Invite codes are single-use, expire automatically, and are bound to the phone number they were issued to.
You can review and edit most information directly in the app. A parent can revoke a caretaker's access at any time from Profile.
You can delete your account directly in the app, from Profile → Delete account (you'll be asked for a code we send to your phone by SMS). If you're the family's only parent, this permanently deletes your family's entire profile, including its health records, and removes access for every linked caretaker. If you're a caretaker or one of two parents, it deletes your account, your notes and voice notes; records you logged about the child stay with the family, with your name replaced by “Former caregiver”. Either way this happens immediately and can't be undone.
We keep a family's information for as long as the account is active. If you delete your account, we delete the associated data within a reasonable time, except where required to retain it for legal reasons. Crash reports and usage statistics are kept by Firebase for a limited period and then deleted automatically.
If this policy changes in a material way, we'll update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
