Meet Sunny Day ☀️
A friendly AI companion for kids ages 6–9 — homework help, bedtime stories, routines and games — with parents in control of everything.
Sunny Day is an AI character, not a real person. Parents create the account, give consent first, and can see and delete everything.

🔒 Privacy at Sunny Day — for parents
This page explains, in plain language, what Sunny Day collects, why, who processes it, how long it is kept, and how to delete it. It describes the product as it actually works today.
What we collect, and why
- Parent account: email, password (stored hashed), family name, timezone — to run your account.
- Child profiles: a nickname and age band only (6–7 or 8–9). We never ask for a child's real name, school, address, contacts, passwords, or precise location.
- Chats with Sunny: the text your child types (or the text recognized from their speech) and Sunny's replies — so the conversation works, and so you can review it (see below).
- Activity: factual counts (routines finished, stories, games) shown in your dashboard. No emotion or diagnosis inference, no live monitoring.
- Parent-approved memories: only the short facts you type and approve yourself. Memory is off by default.
- Audio: we do not record or keep your child's voice. Speech is recognized by your device's own speech service; only the recognized words (text) reach Sunny.
Listening on the Buddy screen
While kid mode is open on the Buddy screen, Sunny auto-listens so your child can just talk. A "Listening…" indicator shows whenever the microphone is live. The mute button in the corner stops listening instantly — and Sunny puts on headphones so your child can see he can't hear. Listening stops when you leave the Buddy screen, exit kid mode, or mute. You can also turn the microphone off entirely for kid mode in Settings (a grown-up setting, protected by your password). Speech recognition is performed by the device / operating-system speech service, not by us.
Who can read the chats — parent access
You can. Chat transcripts for your own children are in the Parent Dashboard (Children → 💬 Chats), behind a password re-check. Children are told inside the app, in friendly words, that their grown-ups can read chats with Sunny — Sunny never promises secret conversations. The app's owner sees only overall counts (how many families, how many chats) — never chat contents, and there is no backdoor.
Providers who process data
- OpenAI — when a server API key is configured and you enable AI, your child's chat text is sent to OpenAI's Responses API to generate Sunny's reply, with provider storage turned off (
store: false) and no training on the content. Honest note:store: falseis a provider setting — it does not by itself guarantee zero retention inside the provider; provider-side abuse-monitoring retention is governed by OpenAI's own policies. Without a key, Sunny uses built-in reviewed answers and nothing is sent anywhere. - Railway — hosts the app and its database.
- Your device's speech services (Apple / Google / Microsoft, depending on the device) — speech recognition runs on the device / OS service, and so does Sunny's fallback voice.
- Sunny's cloud voice (OpenAI text-to-speech) — when the server is configured for it, the exact reply text Sunny already produced for your child (after safety screening) is sent to OpenAI's speech API to be read aloud, and the audio plays on the device. No child audio is ever sent — only Sunny's own reply words — and we store no audio. When the cloud voice is off or fails, the device voice reads the same reply instead.
- Stripe — only if you subscribe: payment details go to Stripe; we never see or store card numbers.
How long things are kept
- Chat transcripts: kept for your chosen window — 7, 30, or 90 days (default 30) — then deleted automatically. You can delete them sooner, any time, from the Chats view or by deleting the child profile. One exception: when a chat is stopped by the safety rules, we keep only what Sunny said (the reviewed safety reply), never your child's flagged words.
- Conversation memory for the AI: the last few messages are kept only inside your child's current app session and disappear when the session ends.
- Stories: kept until you delete them, or per-story retention where set.
- Approved memories: until you delete them.
- Account and profile data: until you delete the child profile or the account — deletion is immediate and complete, and your data export (Settings → Privacy) includes chats.
- Backups: our host keeps rolling infrastructure backups; deleted data ages out of them on the host's schedule and is not restored into the live app.
Our defaults — stricter than required
- We never sell children's data.
- No ads and no advertising trackers in child accounts.
- Long-term memory off by default; nickname + age band only.
- Safety screening runs on our server before anything reaches an AI provider, and on AI replies before your child sees or hears them.
Not finished yet — labeled honestly
- INCOMPLETE: our verifiable parental-consent method (currently: the signed-in parent grants consent in the dashboard, and we record the method, date, notice version, and scopes) and all consent texts are pending legal review. We make no "COPPA certified" or "fully compliant" claim.
- INCOMPLETE: a CCPA/CPRA applicability assessment for state privacy rights is still to be completed.
- INCOMPLETE: EU/UK access is not enabled. Children's consent-age rules there run 13–16 depending on the country and have not been implemented.
- INCOMPLETE: teen accounts (13+) are not offered; Sunny Day serves ages 6–9 only.

Questions about your family's data: use the Parent Dashboard (Settings → Privacy) to export or delete everything, or raise it with the Sunny Day operator through the account email you signed up with.
🧒 Sunny's Privacy Promises
Hi! I am Sunny, a computer character. Here is how I take care of your words.
- ☀️ I only need your nickname and how old you are (like 6–7). I never need your real name, your school, or where you live.
- 🎙️ When my Buddy screen is open, I listen so you can talk to me. A sign at the top shows when I am listening.
- 🔇 Tap the speaker button to mute me. I put on my headphones so you can see I can't hear you.
- 👀 Your grown-ups can read our chats. I never keep secrets from grown-ups — and you never have to keep secrets for me.
- 🧹 Our chats are cleaned up after a while, all by themselves. Your grown-ups can delete them even sooner.
- 🚫 I never sell your words, and I never show you ads.
- 🆘 If something ever makes you feel yucky or scared, tell a grown-up you trust right away. That is always the best idea.
