Cubby Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Cubby is a collection of games for young children, made by Doodlebug Games. It is built to work entirely offline and to collect nothing. This policy explains what that means.

The short version

Cubby does not collect, keep or share personal information from anyone, children or grown-ups.
No ads, no analytics or tracking, no accounts or sign-in, and no in-app purchases.
Cubby has no internet access. It does not ask Android for the internet permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere on its own.
Everything a child does in Cubby stays on the device.

What is stored on the device

Profiles: an animal picture, a colour, and optionally a first name or nickname that a grown-up types in.
Game progress: levels reached, best scores, game settings, and things children make, such as drawings, gardens and pets.
Recent problems: a short list of error messages from the games (for example, “a picture failed to load”). These contain no personal information. They are kept so that a grown-up can choose to include them when reporting a problem to us.

All of this is kept only in Cubby’s own storage on the device. We never receive it. Deleting a profile (in the grown-ups’ area) erases its saved games, and uninstalling Cubby erases everything.

If the device owner has turned on Android’s own backup, Android may include Cubby’s saved games in the owner’s device backup. That backup is run by Google under the owner’s account settings; we have no access to it.

The grown-ups’ area

Adding, changing and deleting profiles, sending us a suggestion, and reading this policy are behind a grown-ups’ question that young children can’t answer. Cubby has no links to websites, social networks or other apps anywhere else.

Suggestions and problem reports (optional, grown-ups only)

From the grown-ups’ area you can choose to send us an idea or tell us about a problem. Cubby does not send it. It opens your device’s own email app (or, if there isn’t one, shows the message as a QR code or lets you share or copy it) with a message you can read and change before sending. Besides what you write, the message includes:

which game it is about, for a problem;
the Cubby version, the phone or tablet model, the Android version and the screen size;
for a problem, the last few error messages from that game.

It never includes names, profiles, saved games or any device identifiers. If you send it, we also receive your email address, because that is how email works. We use these emails only to reply to you and to improve Cubby. We do not share them with anyone, and we delete them once we no longer need them to answer you or fix the problem.

Children’s privacy

Cubby is designed for children and follows children’s privacy laws such as COPPA in the United States and the GDPR in the UK and European Union. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The only information that can ever reach us is an email that a grown-up chooses to send.

Other companies

Cubby contains no third-party advertising, analytics or tracking code, and we don’t sell, rent or share any information with anyone.

Your choices

To remove a child’s profile and its saved games, delete the profile in the grown-ups’ area.
To remove everything, uninstall Cubby.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top. Because Cubby collects nothing, we don’t expect it to change much.
