Knoodl - Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

What Knoodl Does

Knoodl is a family parental control Chrome extension for YouTube. It monitors children's YouTube watch time, classifies videos using AI, and manages screen time through a points-based system with learning challenges.

Data We Collect

• Chrome profile email — Used locally to identify which child is using the browser. Not transmitted to any server.
• YouTube watch data — Video titles, URLs, channel names, and watch duration are sent to a private family backend for parental monitoring.
• Playback activity — Play, pause, and session duration events to calculate screen time.
• Browser user agent — For device identification in the parent dashboard.

How Data Is Used

All data is used solely for parental monitoring of children's YouTube activity. Data is:

• Stored in a private Azure Table Storage account owned by the family
• Accessible only to the parent via a password-protected dashboard
• Never sold, shared, or transferred to any third party
• Never used for advertising, analytics, or profiling

Data Storage

Data is stored in Microsoft Azure (Table Storage) under a private subscription. No data is stored on third-party analytics or advertising platforms.

Third-Party Services

Azure OpenAI is used to classify video titles as educational or entertainment. No personal data is included in these classification requests — only the video title and channel name.

Children's Privacy

This extension is designed for use by children under parental supervision. We do not knowingly collect data beyond what is necessary for the parental monitoring purpose.
