Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Zupia, a product of Haputa LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your house members, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our house reward system application, including optional Premium features such as Zupini, our AI household assistant.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Name
  • Encrypted password
  • Household information

2.2 House Data

To provide our services, we collect:

  • House member names and relationships
  • Activity logs (tasks completed, reading time, attendance, etc.)
  • Reward redemptions
  • Currency balances and transaction history
  • Photos uploaded as proof of activity completion (if applicable)

2.3 Usage Data

We may collect information about how you use our application, including:

  • Device information
  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Access times and dates

2.4 Zupini (Optional Premium AI Assistant)

Zupini is an optional AI assistant available only when a Premium household guardian enables it. Zupini is off by default and does not run for Free-tier households. When enabled, we may collect and process the following only as needed for features you use:

  • Zupini settings: Whether Zupini is enabled for your household, briefing preferences, and related configuration you choose in the app
  • Energy balance and usage: AI Energy credits, debits for metered AI actions, pack purchase references, and ledger records needed to operate the Energy economy
  • Staged quests and AI suggestions: Draft activity proposals Zupini generates (names, suggested rewards, links to source events), plus any feedback you give on those suggestions
  • Weekly briefing: Summaries we generate about household activity trends for the in-app briefing tab and, if you opt in to notifications, related push or email delivery
  • AI inference logs: Technical records of AI requests (for example, provider, timing, and Energy charged) to operate, debug, and audit metered AI features

2.5 Optional Schedule Import (Zupini)

Guardians may optionally upload a PDF schedule (for example, a school, sports, or activity schedule) so Zupini can suggest draft activities. Schedule import is never required to use Zupia.

  • The PDF file you upload and its original filename
  • Schedule content needed to propose draft activities (titles, days, and similar schedule details)
  • Import status, processing errors, and technical metadata needed to operate the feature

Uploaded PDFs are processed to generate draft activity suggestions, then deleted from Zupia after a successful import. Failed uploads may be kept for up to seven days so you can retry. We do not sell schedule data or use it for advertising.

2.6 Connections (Optional)

Guardians may optionally connect their household with another household through an in-person QR or short-code exchange and mutual guardian approval. Trusted connections are in-person verified, not proof that a household is safe.

  • Household name and preset avatar shown during connection review
  • Connection state (active, revoked, blocked) and content-free activity timestamps
  • Single-use connection codes stored as secure digests only

A trusted connection does not expose children, contact information, household rosters, quests, schedules, currency balances, or Energy usage from either household. Either household may revoke a connection; a block is private to the blocking household.

2.7 Playdates (Optional)

Guardians may optionally schedule playdates with connected households. Each participating guardian selects their own children and confirms a display name for the playdate roster. All households must accept the same frozen roster before the playdate is confirmed.

  • Title, schedule, coarse location label, and guardian-confirmed child display names on confirmed playdates
  • Exact address and private instructions (guardian-only, shown during roster review)
  • Participation and roster consent timestamps; private decline reasons are not shared with other households

Children see only confirmed, child-safe playdate details (no exact address, instructions, or RSVP status). Playdate data is retained for 90 days after the event ends, then purged. Playdates are not included in AI weekly briefings.

2.8 Playdate Message Boards (Optional)

Confirmed playdates may include a temporary shared message board for participating guardians and guardian-enabled children. The board is shared with all current participants; it is not a private conversation.

  • Text posts only; guardian posts publish immediately; child posts require guardian approval
  • Guardians may enable board access per child, and children may mute notifications or opt out
  • Guardians may report posts and mute the board for their household

Post content is encrypted and retained for 30 days after the board closes (24 hours after the playdate ends, or immediately on cancellation). Pending or rejected post bodies are retained for 7 days after a decision or expiry.

2.9 Optional Alexa Skill

A guardian may optionally link the Zupia Alexa skill to their Zupia household. When the skill is used, we process the information needed to provide the requested voice feature, including the linked account identifier, Alexa device identifier, request identifier, the requested command, and the date and time of the request. We do not use Alexa voice recordings; Amazon handles voice recognition and sends Zupia the resulting request.

Guardians may assign a shared Echo device to one child in their household. That assignment, the linked-account status, and security and audit records are stored so that Zupia can provide the correct household response, protect the service, and let guardians manage or revoke access. A child’s name, quests, reward requests, and balance information may be included in responses from an Echo assigned to that child.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process activity logs and reward redemptions
  • Send notifications about pending approvals and activities
  • Manage household accounts and user relationships
  • Operate optional Zupini features, including schedule import, draft quest suggestions, weekly briefings, and Energy-metered AI actions you initiate or enable
  • Generate household-scoped AI suggestions from uploaded schedules when Zupini inference is enabled
  • Operate the optional Alexa skill, including account linking, device-to-child assignment, voice-command processing, security checks, and command auditing
  • Ensure the security and integrity of our platform
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Zupia is designed for families with children. We take children's privacy seriously and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not:

  • Knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent
  • Share children's personal information with third parties
  • Use children's information for advertising purposes

All accounts must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian. Children's accounts are linked to guardian accounts, and guardians have full control over their children's data.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Within Your Household: Information is shared among members of your household as part of the service functionality
  • Service Providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist in operating our platform (for example, hosting, database management, payment processing, email delivery, and push notifications)
  • AI providers (when you use Zupini): If you enable Zupini features that use them, we may send data to:
    • AI model providers (such as OpenAI) — when you use Energy-metered AI features or upload a schedule PDF, limited household and schedule context needed to generate suggestions or briefings; we do not authorize these providers to use your data to train their public models for our production integrations
    • Lemon Squeezy — when you purchase Energy packs, payment and fulfillment data needed to complete the transaction
  • Amazon Alexa (when you use the Alexa skill): Amazon sends Zupia the authenticated skill request and receives the response needed to speak or display it on your Alexa-enabled device. Amazon's handling of Alexa data is governed by its own privacy notices and settings.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may be transferred

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • Encryption of sensitive data, including uploaded schedule PDFs in transit and at rest until processing completes, Alexa account-linking credentials, and other secrets
  • Secure password storage using industry-standard hashing
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls and authentication
  • Secure data transmission (HTTPS)
  • Household-scoped access to schedule import and Zupini data

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request access to your personal information
  • Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from non-essential communications
  • Remove schedule imports: Delete uploaded schedule imports from House → Zupini → Import; this removes import records and supersedes related draft suggestions
  • Revoke Google access: You may also revoke Zupia’s access to your Google account at Google Account permissions
  • Disable Zupini: Premium guardians can turn off Zupini for the household in Zupini settings, which stops Zupini features from running going forward
  • Disconnect Alexa: Guardians can disconnect a linked Alexa account or revoke an assigned Echo device from the Zupia voice-account settings. This stops future voice requests from using that connection.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address provided below.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

When you remove a schedule import or disable Zupini, we stop using associated files and cease generating new draft suggestions from that import. Previously generated draft suggestions may remain until you delete them, remove the import, or delete your account, after which we delete or anonymize them according to this policy.

When you disconnect the Alexa skill, we revoke the active account-linking credentials. Voice-command audit records and resulting pending quest-completion or reward-redemption requests are retained with the related household records for security, support, and approval history, then deleted or anonymized according to this policy and applicable law.

For trusted household connections: consumed or expired connection codes are deleted within 24 hours; revoked connection metadata is retained up to one year; directional blocks remain until removed or the blocking account is deleted. Deleting your account revokes active connections and removes guardian references from connection records while preserving content-free history where required.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information receives adequate protection.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
