Privacy Policy

How Amazing Path Kids collects, uses and protects personal information in the UpPrism app and on this website. Written to be read, not skimmed past.

Last updated:

1. Who we are

Amazing Path Kids (“we”, “us”) is a company based in Ontario, Canada. We make UpPrism, a mobile app that helps parents and caregivers of children aged 1 to 5 understand what they observe, choose what to work on, and find activities to do at home. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

2. What this policy covers

This policy applies to the UpPrism app, the website at amazingpathkids.com, and any messages you send us. UpPrism is in development and not yet available in app stores. We will update this policy before launch if anything described here changes.

3. Information we collect

We collect the account and child-profile details needed to provide developmental check-ins, personalized activities, and progress history. We do not ask for medical records, diagnoses or government identifiers.

Categories of information
CategoryExamplesWhy we need it

TechnicalApp version, device type, operating system, crash and error reportsTo keep the app working and fix problems
MessagesEmails you send us and our repliesTo answer questions and handle requests

Please don’t put sensitive health details, such as diagnoses or medical records, into notes or messages. UpPrism doesn’t need them to work.

4. How we use it

  • To provide UpPrism: check-ins, profiles, suggested priorities, activities and history.
  • To keep accounts secure and the app reliable.
  • To answer your messages and requests.
  • To understand, in aggregated or de-identified form, which features are used so we can improve them.
  • To meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles about you or your child.

5. How we use AI

Scores and priorities in UpPrism come from fixed, rule-based logic. We use an AI language service only to word parent-friendly explanations of those results. To do this, we send the service the rule-based result and the minimum context needed, such as your child’s age range. We do not send your name, email address or the notes you write.

AI output is checked against the rule-based result before you see it. If the AI service is unavailable, or a draft fails the check, the app shows the rule-based explanation instead. We choose AI providers that do not use the information we send to train their models.

6. Consent

We follow Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We collect, use and disclose personal information with your consent and only for the purposes in this policy. By creating an account and adding a child profile, you confirm that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian, or have their permission, and you consent to the uses described here.

You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account or writing to us. Some features won’t work without the information they rely on.

7. Sharing

We share personal information only:

  • With service providers that help us run UpPrism, such as cloud hosting, email delivery, crash reporting and the AI wording service. They may use the information only to provide their service to us, under written agreements that require them to protect it.
  • When required by law, or to protect the safety of a person.
  • If Amazing Path Kids is involved in a merger or sale, in which case this policy continues to apply to your information.

8. Where it is stored

We aim to store personal information in Canada. Some service providers may process information in other countries, including the United States. When that happens, it is subject to the laws of those countries, and we require providers to protect it to a standard comparable to this policy.

9. How long we keep it

We keep account and child-profile information while your account is open. If you delete a child profile or your account, we delete the related information from our active systems within 30 days, and from backups when they are next overwritten, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Messages you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle your request.

10. Security

We use safeguards suited to the sensitivity of the information, including encryption in transit, access controls that limit who can see personal information, and secure handling of passwords. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach creates a real risk of significant harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as the law requires.

11. Your rights and choices

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you and your child.
  • Ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate.
  • Delete a child profile or your whole account, in the app or by writing to us.
  • Withdraw consent, subject to legal or contractual limits.

Write to founder@amazingpathkids.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

12. Children

UpPrism is made for adults: parents, guardians and caregivers. Children do not use the app or create accounts. Information about a child is entered by the adult who manages the account and is used only to provide UpPrism to that adult.

13. This website

amazingpathkids.com does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and pages requested, for security and reliability. The contact form opens your own email app; nothing you type into it is stored on this website.

14. Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. For significant changes, we will tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
