Glurpa is a parental-control service for children, so this notice is written to meet the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). It is meant to be read by a parent, not a lawyer.
Glurpa is operated by an individual developer. The parent is the account holder; children never have their own account. Questions, requests, or complaints: hello@glurpa.com. We answer every message about a child's data.
Everything below is entered or triggered by you or by your child pressing play. It is stored under your account, not under an account of the child's.
That is the complete list. We do not collect a child's email address, photos, voice, location, contacts, birthday, screen name, or any free-text the child types — the child's screen has nothing to type into.
The profile exists so a household with more than one child keeps their approved channels and their place in a video separate. The watch history exists so you can see what your child watched, so a video resumes where it stopped, and so daily screen-time limits can count down. Beyond that, the only other use is the aggregate counting described below, which is not linked to your child.
No advertising of any kind, no behavioral or targeted advertising, no third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no externally hosted fonts, no social buttons. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information about a parent or a child, and we never use a child's information to build a profile for advertising.
youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which limits the identifiers Google sets. Even so, playing a video means your device contacts Google, and Google receives the video requested, your IP address, and device information under Google's privacy policy. Premium mode: if — and only if — you turn on Premium mode, playback switches to youtube.com and the household's signed-in Google account is used, so Google can collect persistent identifiers tied to that account and associate viewing with it. Premium mode is off unless you separately consent to it; we ask for that consent on its own, not bundled with anything else, and you can turn it off at any time in parent settings.We do not disclose personal information to anyone else, except where the law requires it or to protect a child's safety.
We count how often a channel is added or watched across all accounts, so we can improve the curated library and spot channels that have drifted. These counts are keyed only by the public YouTube channel — they are not linked to any account, profile, or child, and cannot be traced back to one. We do not build a profile of a child, and we never share these counts in any form that could identify anyone.
Glurpa is offered to families in the United States only. We do not accept new accounts from outside the countries we serve, because we are not yet set up to meet the children's-privacy obligations that apply elsewhere — and we would rather turn you away than take your family's data without being able to honour them properly. If you sign up from an unsupported country we do not store your email address at all. Existing families keep working normally while travelling.
COPPA gives you these rights, and the app gives you buttons for them:
We will never require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to watch a video.
We keep a child's information only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, and we do not keep it indefinitely.
Traffic is encrypted in transit, passwords are stored only as PBKDF2 hashes, and access to the database is limited to the operator. No system is perfect; we will tell affected parents by email if we ever learn that account data was exposed.
If we ever change what we collect about a child, what we do with it, or who receives it, we will email the parent and get consent again where the law requires it before the change applies.
Email hello@glurpa.com for any privacy question, to review or delete your child's information, or to withdraw consent.
