Smiley Man Check-In is a parent-guided emotion check-in app for children. The app helps kids name feelings, try small calming steps, save bright moments, and grow local Smiley Pets through check-ins.
Smiley Man Check-In is not a diagnosis, screening, treatment, therapy, medical, or crisis-service app.
Short Version For Kids
Smiley Man Check-In helps you tell how you feel.
We save your check-ins so your grown-up can help notice patterns and remember bright moments.
We do not show ads. We do not sell your information. We do not let other companies track what you do across apps or websites.
Some things only happen if your grown-up turns them on:
- Cloud Sync, so household data can share through Apple iCloud.
- Voice Notes, so you can save short recordings in the app.
- Drawings & Journals, so you can save drawings, colors, and story notes.
- Parent Raw Content Review, so a parent dashboard can open saved notes, drawings, stories, and voice notes.
- Smiley Man Voice, so approved Smiley Man lines can play from audio included with the app.
Your grown-up can export or delete local child data from parent settings.
Information Stored On The Device
Smiley Man Check-In stores the information needed to run the app experience:
- Child profile nickname, age tier, avatar, created date, and updated date.
- Emotion check-ins, including feeling, timestamp, intensity, time-of-day bucket, trigger or activity category, support choice, support completion details, follow-up feeling, and session duration.
- Parent PIN verifier and local app settings.
- Privacy settings and parent permission records.
- Parent dashboard summaries generated from app check-ins only.
- Smiley Pet progress, Sparkles, Smiley Pet Park items, and related local reward state.
Optional Voice Notes can store short child recordings locally in app storage.
Optional Drawings & Journals can store drawings, colors, story prompts, and journal text locally in app storage.
Parent Raw Content Review is off by default. When it is off, the parent dashboard can show metadata and pattern summaries, but it does not open saved journal text, drawing images, creative story text, or voice-note playback.
Information That Can Leave The Device
Cloud Sync is off by default. If a parent turns it on, Smiley Man Check-In uses Apple iCloud and CloudKit to share selected household data with linked parent devices. This can include child profile data, structured check-in data, sync metadata, and invite metadata.
Parent PIN material stays local to each device. The raw parent PIN is not intentionally synced.
Raw voice-note audio, raw drawing files, journal text, and creative prompt text are not intentionally included in the current sync snapshot.
Smiley Man Voice uses bundled approved audio included with the app during normal child use. The app does not send narration requests, child names, check-in notes, drawings, journals, child voice notes, parent dashboard details, or arbitrary child-entered content to Supabase, ElevenLabs, or another narration provider during normal app use.
Parent Voice Narration is not part of this launch app. The app does not include parent voice cloning, parent voice upload, parent voice deletion, or parent voice setup.
What Smiley Man Check-In Does Not Do
- No third-party advertising.
- No third-party analytics SDK.
- No tracking across apps or websites.
- No sale of child data.
- No raw voice, drawing, or journal analysis for parent insights.
- No diagnosis, screening, treatment, clinical risk scoring, or crisis support.
Parent Choices
Parents can manage app privacy choices in parent settings:
- Core Check-Ins.
- Cloud Sync.
- Voice Notes.
- Drawings & Journals.
- Parent Raw Content Review.
- Smiley Man Voice.
Parents can also create a local privacy export or delete local child data from parent settings.
Export And Delete
The local privacy export is a structured JSON file containing local profiles, structured check-in records, parent permission records, and privacy settings. It intentionally excludes raw voice-note audio, raw drawing image files, journal text, and creative prompt text.
Parents can delete local child data from parent settings. This removes local child profiles, local check-ins, and local referenced media files on that device. If Cloud Sync has been enabled or another linked device has a copy, additional cloud or device-specific deletion steps may be needed.
Retention
Local data remains on the device until the parent deletes it, resets local child data, or uses retention controls where available.
Providers
Apple provides the operating system, iCloud/CloudKit features, App Store payments, and App Store infrastructure.
Smiley Man audio may be generated before release with internal production tools, then bundled into the app. The launch app should not be described as sending Smiley Man narration requests to a third-party narration provider during normal child use.
