Privacy on this website
Draft update, waiting for sign-off. The social media section, the link to the app's privacy notice, the privacy contact and the registration details below are new and not in force yet.
This page is about the famoo.app website and Famoo's own social media accounts. For the Famoo app, read the full Famoo privacy notice: what the app holds about your family, why, who helps us, how long we keep it, paying for Famoo Plus, and your rights.
What this website collects
- It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device to measure your visit.
- It has no adverts and no advertising trackers, and we sell nothing about you. Its one form is the optional sign-up for Famoo news by email, below.
- It loads no outside fonts or adverts. The only outside script is Cloudflare Web Analytics, below.
Counting visits
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits in total: which pages are viewed, which website or link sent people here, and the country and type of browser. It does not use cookies or store anything on your device, and we see totals only, never individual visitors. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in knowing how the website is used so we can improve it. If you object, email us and tell us; you can also block it in your browser, and the website works the same.
Codes in links
Some links to this website carry a short code saying where the link came from, for example ?src=school-s11 for a school newsletter, or a friend's referral code. If you click "Join the beta", the code goes with you to sign-up, so we know which links bring families. The code describes the link, not you. It is not stored on your device.
Your display choices
If you choose an age with "Our kids are…" or a Playful or Subtle look, your browser remembers those choices so the page looks the same next time. It is stored only on your device. It is never sent to us. You can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.
Our host
The website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address so it can send you the page. It is used only to serve the page.
Signing up
"Join the beta" takes you to app.famoo.app, where you sign up with Google and set up your home. What the app does with your information is explained in the app's own privacy notice.
Famoo news by email
If you sign up for news, we keep your email, anything else you choose to give, what you said yes to and which link brought you. We email you only after you confirm, and you can stop at any time from any email. Read how we look after your email: what we keep, why, for how long, who helps us, and how to leave.
Famoo on social media
Famoo has its own accounts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. We post our own videos and pictures there, and a person at Famoo approves every post before it goes out. To post to Famoo's TikTok account, our posting tool connects to that one account through TikTok's sign-in. TikTok gives us a key for Famoo's account and the account's ID. We keep them in Google Cloud in London, use them only to send our own videos to our own account and to see whether each post went out, and delete them if we disconnect. We do not use TikTok sign-in for anyone else, and we do not collect other people's TikTok data. We count how each of our posts does (views, likes, shares, saves and comments, in totals) so we can learn what families find useful. These are numbers per post, never about a person. If you comment on our posts or message us there, the platform's own privacy policy applies. We use what you send only to reply. If you send us a family story to share, we ask for your written permission first, and we take it down whenever you ask.
Emails you send us
If you email us, we use your email only to reply to you.
