Your child's privacy is paramount to us, and we are deeply particular about protecting it. Nepedia is made by a parent of young kids, for other families to enjoy — not to profit from them.
We do not sell or rent your family’s personal information or use it for advertising. Nepedia has no ads. We use account information to provide family features, and the site statistics described below to understand how the service is used.
No advertising. No selling your family's information. Clear choices about site statistics.
When a parent signs in with Google, we store:
Your data is used solely to:
Nepedia uses a session cookie to keep you logged in. This cookie is:
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site use. You can exclude this browser from Analytics without changing your login, saved articles or reading progress.
If you exclude Analytics, this browser remembers that choice using a first-party preference cookie and browser storage. The preference contains no account or child information.
Science Lab stores your reading-level preference, Saved experiments and checkpoint progress in this browser. Activity settings are kept for the browsing session so they can survive a reading-level change. These preferences are not linked to a parent or child account. If browser storage is blocked, Science Lab explains when choices can only be remembered for the current visit.
When Analytics is enabled, it can count that an activity or checkpoint was used, a lesson was saved, or a discovery was continued. Selected answers and activity settings are not sent with these events. The same browser and testing exclusions apply.
We count successful page requests and article-content loads to understand which parts of Nepedia are used. Private traffic records include the network IP address, requested public page, time and a broad browser or automated-client category. We do not add account or child identifiers, search terms, referrers or a browser fingerprint to these records.
We estimate the country from the IP address using a database on our own server; visitor IP addresses are not sent to a location service. A network address can be shared by several people, and country estimates can be affected by VPNs. These statistics count requests and network addresses, not individual people.
IP details and the new traffic logs expire within seven days. Page totals remain for 35 days, country totals for 90 days and section totals for 400 days, without IP addresses. Existing operational and security logs are separate.
The Analytics exclusion preference also excludes these traffic statistics when its preference cookie is available. Browser-only or external Google Analytics blocking cannot always be seen by our server.
You can delete your entire account at any time from the Settings page. This permanently removes:
To delete your account: Settings → scroll to bottom → "Delete My Account"
Account and child-profile information is stored in a secured database. The website also keeps the server traffic and operational records described above. Connections are encrypted in transit, and administrative access is restricted.
An account is optional. Guest users can explore public articles at every reading level without creating an account. Restricted articles remain behind parental access controls. Server traffic statistics are described above.
