Privacy and consent

kizart exists to keep children's artwork away from public feeds. This page describes what the software does, in plain words.

Who can see a child's artwork

The teacher who photographed it, and the members of that child's family who joined with a code from the teacher and said yes. Nobody else: not other families in the class, not the public, not search engines. There are no public links and no class-wide gallery.

What we keep

• About teachers and families: an email address, a password stored as a one-way hash, an optional display name, and when you signed in and from which IP address (kept 90 days).
• About children: a first name, as the teacher typed it, and which class they are in. Children do not have accounts.
• Artwork: the photograph, an optional title and the date — only after the child's family has said yes.

Consent

• Until a family says yes, pictures of their child's work stay on the teacher's phone. They are not sent to our servers.
• Each parent or carer can join with their own code. If any one of them says no, the child's pictures are not kept.
• A family can withdraw consent at any time from their gallery. From that moment the pictures are no longer shown to anyone, and they are deleted from our servers within the hour.
• When a teacher deletes a picture or a child, it is removed at once from every gallery and permanently deleted after 90 days.

Using it without an account

A teacher can try kizart without an account. Everything then stays in that phone's browser storage and nothing is sent anywhere. Creating an account moves it into the account, after asking first.

Counting visits

We count visits to these pages and how many people are signed in, with our own analytics. It uses an anonymous account number, never an email address or a child's name, and nothing is shared with advertisers.
