UMKAVERSE · FOR PARENTS
Umkaverse privacy notice
Version October 16, 2026 · Umka Papillon, LLC
This notice describes the learning and play service at umkaverse.com. The Umka Papillon store privacy policy describes shopping on umkapapillon.com. Umkaverse has its own parent accounts and Stripe billing.
Parent accounts & payments
An adult parent or guardian supplies an email and password. Supabase handles authentication, email verification and password recovery. The membership server uses your verified account ID to check your subscription. Resend delivers account confirmation and password-reset emails.
Stripe processes payment details and keeps billing, subscription and invoice records. Umkaverse does not store your full payment card number. We use the Stripe customer and subscription records to provide paid access and help with billing. Vercel hosts the website and membership server.
Children’s activities
Children do not need separate accounts. The membership form asks for a parent email, not a child’s name, birthday, school, location or contact information. Do not put children’s personal details into support messages.
Activity progress and choices are stored locally in your browser. A parent may separately connect a device to save earned Passport stamps to the parent account, as described below. No separate child profile is created for family stamps. Clearing browser data can remove local copies.
Optional photos & recordings
Photo activities process the picture you choose in your browser, including background removal. The photo is not uploaded to Umkaverse, Supabase, Stripe or an image-processing service. Optional speaking practice records audio for playback on the current page; it is not uploaded and the page releases it when you leave. Other activities can be used without supplying a photo or recording.
A grown-up should help with these features and browser microphone permission. Pictures you save, print or share yourself are handled by your device and any service you choose to use.
Necessary cookies & technical information
Umkaverse uses necessary cookies for parent sign-in, session renewal and verification of paid access. Local browser storage remembers game progress and preferences. Hosting, authentication, email and payment providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, request times and security logs to deliver the service, prevent abuse and diagnose failures.
We do not add advertising pixels or targeted advertising to the Umkaverse learning app. Following a store or social link takes you to a separate site with its own privacy practices.
Optional activity counts
If enabled, a signed-in parent can choose “Allow optional counts” in Parent Corner. This is off unless you choose it, does not affect access, and expires with this sign-in session or after 24 hours. You can turn it off in Parent Corner at any time. It is unavailable during institutional learner sessions.
Optional counts cover page entries, activity starts, newly completed stamp adventures and newly earned stamps. We save daily aggregate totals in Supabase, without names, account IDs, learner IDs, photos, recordings or individual browsing histories in the reporting table. Imported Passport stamps are not counted. We do not add advertising or replay tools. Requests use your existing necessary parent session to check permission; hosting and authentication services may still process IP addresses, request times and security logs.
The private report shows a rolling 90-day window. Older aggregate buckets are removed when another count is saved. Turning counts off prevents future optional counts; it cannot identify or remove your earlier contribution from combined daily totals. No optional counts are sent while the feature is disabled.
Use, retention & your choices
Optional parent Passport syncing
If you connect a device in Parent Corner, we save earned stamp IDs, their saved dates and their source to your parent account in Supabase. Connected devices merge stamps automatically while you are signed in. Photos, recordings and game settings stay on each device. School learner records are separate and cannot use family syncing. Synced stamps are keepsakes and do not grant subscription access.
You can turn account syncing off without deleting saved stamps, or delete the account stamp copy in Parent Corner. Device copies and exported Passport files remain until you remove them separately. Clearing browser data does not delete your account copy. Deleting your parent account removes its saved Passport record.
We use parent account and billing information to operate the membership, deliver account emails, manage payments, prevent fraud, respond to support requests and meet legal obligations. We keep records only as needed for those purposes; some billing and security records may need to be retained after cancellation.
Email info@umkapapillon.com with “Umkaverse privacy request” to ask about access, correction or deletion of your account information. We may verify that you control the account before acting. Never send your password or full payment card number. Tell us if you also want to cancel the subscription so future billing stops.
To remove activity progress on a device, clear Umkaverse’s browser site data. You can manage microphone access in your browser settings. Necessary cookies are required for signed-in activities.
