What we collect (and what we never ask for)
To make Kamelo work, we need very little: a random technical identifier for your family, a first name or nickname for each child, their school year, their favourite colour and their practice results. If you sign in, your email address or the identifier Apple provides.
We never ask for your child’s surname, date of birth, school, address or photo. Kamelo uses no location, no voice recording and no face analysis.
The homework photo
- It is cropped and made smaller on your phone, its metadata is removed, and the name written at the top of the page is hidden before it is sent.
- It is read by Claude, Anthropic’s AI, with your consent, given on a screen that names Anthropic before the first photo.
- It is deleted from our servers within 24 hours. Only the exercise you confirmed is kept, without the image.
- If you ask Kamelo to learn a new kind of exercise, and only with your consent for that request, the photo is kept for 30 days to be studied, then deleted.
Your child’s space
The child space has no advertising, no analytics, no purchases and no links out of the app. Your child never chats with an artificial intelligence: everything Kamelo says is written in advance, and your child never types a message to an AI. They only see exercises you have checked. Text shown to children is checked first, and a day without practice is never presented as a loss.
Grown-ups in charge
Purchases, settings, links, help and consents are in the parent space, protected by a 6-digit code. Reminders are for you, on school nights only. No notification is ever sent to your child.
Where your data is
Your family’s data is hosted in Paris, in the European Union. Photos are read by Anthropic, in the United States, under the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, for UK residents’ data, the UK addendum to those clauses. Subscriptions are handled by the App Store or Google Play, with our provider RevenueCat.
The rules for children in the UK
Kamelo follows the Age appropriate design code, known as the Children’s Code, from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): high-privacy settings by default, data minimisation, no profiling and no nudge techniques. In the UK, the age of digital consent is 13, so consent to photo reading is given by you, in the parent space. Your child has a notice written for them, to read together.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR), you can export your data, delete a child’s profile or the whole account from the app at any time, withdraw your consent to photo reading (typing-in still works), or write to us. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can also complain to the ICO. The detail is in the privacy policy.
