Effective date: 18 October 2026
Whoopido (“the app”) is made by KidDotCo Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 07719732), registered address 67 Elliston Street, Cleethorpes, N.E. Lincolnshire, DN35 7HW. KidDotCo Limited is responsible for the app and for this policy. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean KidDotCo Limited.
1. The short version
- Everything you put into Whoopido stays on your device. That includes children’s names, groups, logos and certificates.
- We have no accounts, no servers and no iCloud sync, so we never receive or see that information.
- The app has no advertising and no third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools. We do not track you or your pupils.
2. Who the app is for
Whoopido is a certificate maker for teachers, parents and carers. The adult using the app chooses what to type in, such as a child’s name. Children may see or receive the certificates, but the app is designed to be set up and used by an adult.
3. What the app stores, and where
When you use Whoopido, the app may store:
- names you type in for certificates, and any groups or classes you save;
- a logo or image, if you choose to add one;
- your design choices and the certificates you make.
All of this is stored only on your device, using Apple’s standard on-device storage. It is not uploaded to us, not synced through iCloud and not shared with anyone else. We cannot see it, access it or recover it.
4. What we collect
We do not collect any personal information through the app. There is no sign-in, no account, no advertising, and no third-party analytics, crash-reporting or advertising software (SDKs) built into the app.
Apple’s App Store statistics. Like every app on the App Store, we can see statistics that Apple provides to developers, such as the number of downloads, sales and, for users who have agreed, basic app usage and crash information. Apple only shares usage and crash information if you have chosen to share it with app developers in your device settings (on iPhone and iPad, Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements). Apple gives us this information in an aggregated form that does not identify you or anyone whose name is in the app. You can turn this sharing off at any time in the same place. See Apple’s Privacy Policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ for how Apple handles this information.
5. Purchases and subscriptions
Any purchase or subscription in Whoopido is handled by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your name, email address or payment details. Apple only tells the app whether a purchase or subscription is active, so the app can unlock the right features. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your device’s Settings under your Apple Account > Subscriptions.
6. Printing, exporting and sharing
When you print a certificate or export it (for example as a PDF), it goes wherever you choose to send it, such as a printer, the Files app or an email. We do not receive a copy. Once shared, the file is handled under the privacy terms of whatever service you sent it with.
7. Children’s privacy
We take children’s privacy seriously and designed Whoopido so that we never collect children’s information.
- United States (COPPA). The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act applies to services that collect personal information from children under 13. Whoopido does not collect, use or disclose personal information from children, or from anyone else. Names typed into the app stay on the device and are never sent to us.
- United Kingdom (UK GDPR and the Children’s Code). We follow the principles of the Information Commissioner’s Office Age Appropriate Design Code (the Children’s Code). The app does not profile users or track location. It has no advertising, no social features and no features that nudge users to share information, and privacy is the default without anyone needing to change a setting. Because personal information entered into the app is held only on the user’s own device and is not sent to us, we do not process it as a data controller.
If you believe a child’s personal information has somehow been sent to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
8. Keeping information safe and deleting it
Information in the app is protected by your device’s own security, such as your passcode, Face ID or Touch ID. To delete information, remove a name, group or certificate in the app. Deleting the app removes all of its data from your device. Because we hold no copy, we cannot restore anything you delete.
9. Your rights
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), you have rights over personal information an organisation holds about you, including the right to access it, correct it or have it deleted. Because Whoopido sends us no personal information, we will normally hold none from the app. If you email us, we will use your email only to reply and will not keep it longer than we need to. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
10. Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this policy and the effective date at the top. If a change means we would start collecting any personal information, we will make that clear before it happens.
11. Contact us
If you have any questions about this policy or about Whoopido, please email [email protected] or write to KidDotCo Limited, 67 Elliston Street, Cleethorpes, N.E. Lincolnshire, DN35 7HW, United Kingdom.
