Children's privacy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
AnimalWorld Kids is made for children from age 3. This notice explains, for parents, carers and teachers, how we treat information about children. It sits alongside our full privacy policy and follows the rules for children's services, including the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the United Kingdom's Age Appropriate Design Code and Tunisian data protection law.
Children do not give us personal information
Children never create accounts, never type an email address and never upload anything. There are no chats, comments, messages or public profiles, so a child cannot share personal information with us or with anyone else through the site.
What is kept, and where
- Without an account: a child's My Zoo progress (points, badges, favourite animals and animals they have met) stays in the browser of the device they use. It is not sent to us.
- With a parent account: a parent can create a profile for each child. A profile holds a nickname (which should not be the child's real name), an animal avatar from our own pictures, and game progress. We never ask for a real name, a date of birth, a photo, a school or a location.
Parents are in control
Only an adult with a verified email address can create child profiles. In the account area a parent can rename or delete any profile, download everything we hold, and delete the whole account. Deleting a profile or the account removes the child's progress immediately.
If you believe a child has given us personal information, for example by writing their own details in the contact form, tell us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
No tracking and no profiling of children
We do not use tracking cookies and our visitor statistics do not identify anyone. Ad requests are tagged as coming from a children's site, which means no interest-based or remarketing ads. Games and quizzes never show ads, and ads are kept away from buttons children use while playing. Videos load from YouTube only when tapped and play in its privacy-enhanced mode.
Asking a grown-up
Parts of the site meant for adults, such as the account area and links that lead to other websites, are made for grown-ups. Links to other sites open in a new tab and are clearly marked.
