Children's privacy, explained

What we collect about under-18s, why, who sees it, and how the Children's Code shapes the product.

Tutorio is used by children, so the app is built to the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (the Children's Code) and UK GDPR. Here's what that means in practice.

We collectBecauseWho sees it
Name or nickname, email or usernameTo run the account and let the tutor recognise the studentThe student, their tutor, Tutorio support when asked for help
Answers, scores, streaks, time practisingIt's the learning record - the whole pointThe student and their tutor; parents via the tutor
Device record (model, push token, time zone)To send notifications and keep progress per deviceNobody outside Tutorio
Learner profile (optional, tutor-written)To tailor content and accessibilityOnly the tutor who wrote it (and their organisation on Studio)

What we don't do#

  • No advertising, tracking pixels or data brokers.
  • No selling or sharing of personal data.
  • No precise location.
  • No AI training on students' personal data. AI providers process content under contracts that forbid retention and training.
  • No dark patterns: streaks and hearts are explained up front and can't be bought.

Your rights#

Parents can ask for a copy of a child's data, correct it, or have the account deleted - see Your data rights. The full text is in the Privacy Policy and Children's Privacy.
