For families and grown-ups
Mobile app privacy
This page describes the current Gavin Goes Galactic Explorer development preview. It is not available through Google Play or the Apple App Store. There is no mobile app account system.
Current app data practices
The current development preview has no user accounts, app analytics or app-controlled advertising. It stores a small local passport containing up to two activity stamps on the device. The stamps are not sent to Gavin Goes Galactic or stored on our servers. A grown-up can clear them in the app using “Reset passport”.
If a grown-up chooses to load the YouTube player, the app connects to YouTube, which may receive technical and usage information under Google’s privacy terms. The app also offers an optional link to NASA’s public Mercury facts page, which opens outside the app. YouTube and NASA apply their own privacy practices.
This notice describes the development preview only. Before a store release, it and the Apple and Google Play privacy disclosures will be checked against the exact build, including data collected by the app or its SDKs, why it is collected, whether it is shared, how long it is kept, and the choices available to families. The website has separate practices described in the website privacy and cookies notice.
Children and family use
Gavin Goes Galactic is made for families, and some content is intended for children. Before release, the app’s audience, age rating, data collection, advertising, analytics, permissions and any third-party SDKs will be reviewed against the requirements that apply in each store and region. The app will not be described as compliant with a children’s program or certification unless that status has been earned.
Parents and guardians can contact us with privacy questions or concerns about a child’s information using tanoljude@gmail.com.
Data access and deletion requests
The current preview has no account data stored by us. To remove the local passport stamps, a grown-up can open the app’s “For parents and carers” screen and select “Reset passport”. The stamps are stored on that device and are not available for remote deletion by us.
If a future version lets someone create an account or stores personal data on our systems, it will provide an in-app deletion option and a working website route to request deletion outside the app. For an existing privacy request, a parent or guardian can email the privacy contact. Please do not include a child’s sensitive information in the initial email; we will explain what details are needed to locate a request.
Contact and changes
