How Rocket Cadets protects your kid

“Data Not Collected” — literally

The Rocket Cadets app has no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party trackers of any kind. There's no account to create and no login. Your child never types a name, an email, or a birthday. On the App Store privacy label, that adds up to the strongest category there is: Data Not Collected.

What about this website? Rocketcadets.com itself uses privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) so we can see, in aggregate, how many people visit and which pages are useful — no cookies, no cross-site tracking, and nothing that identifies you or your child. That runs only on this marketing site; the app your child uses still collects nothing, exactly as above.

Where your child's progress lives

XP, badges, finished missions and the code your child writes are saved on the device — never uploaded. That's a deliberate trade-off worth being honest about: because nothing leaves the device, progress doesn't automatically follow your child to a different iPad or survive a reinstall. We think that's the right call for a kids' app — no cloud profile of your child exists anywhere to lose, sell, or breach. (Your one-time purchase is the exception: on Apple devices it lives with your Apple ID, and on the web your unlock code plays the same role — so the things a parent paid for always survive, even though a child's progress stays local.)

AI literacy — without a chatbot

Rocket Cadets teaches kids how AI actually works through hands-on playgrounds. It is not a chatbot, and your child does not talk to an AI. Nothing your child does is sent to any AI service or server — the AI lessons are self-contained and run on the device like everything else. More on our approach to AI literacy →

Purchases and links stay behind a grown-up gate

There's one optional purchase — a one-time $14.99 “Unlock All Missions,” with no subscription and nothing that renews. Buying always sits behind a quick parental gate, and so does entering an unlock code. On Apple devices it's handled securely by the App Store, with Family Sharing covering your kids; in the web edition it's handled by Stripe, and one unlock code covers all your family's computers.

Buying on the web

The web edition's checkout is processed by Stripe as the merchant of record — we never see or store your card details. Our license server receives the email address you paid with for one purpose only: sending you your unlock code (delivered via Resend). It is used in the moment and not kept in any database of ours — Stripe holds your receipt, your email holds your code, and no account exists anywhere. Your child's progress stays in your browser, exactly as on the iPad. Where your code lives and how to enter it: see unlock code help.

The only things we ever ask for come from a parent — never a child

The app asks for nothing. This website has one optional form: a launch waitlist where a parent can leave an email to hear about updates. Beyond that, the only email we ever handle is the one a web purchase is made with (see above). We never ask for a child's email, we use reputable email providers, and you can unsubscribe or ask us to erase your address at any time. As an EU company (Meno Data AB, Sweden), we treat all of it under GDPR.

Made for the Kids Category rules

Designing for Apple's Kids Category and COPPA means the hard rules are the easy ones for us: no third-party ads, ever, and no analytics or trackers in the app; purchases and external links behind a parental gate; and no behavioral profiling of children — anywhere (the website's analytics are cookieless and aggregate, as noted above). We didn't bolt privacy on — the app was built so there's simply nothing to collect.
