Privacy Policy
A pretend, kid-friendly shopping game for children. Operated by the Shop All Summer team (contact below). Last updated: September 26, 2026.
The short version
- No real payments happen anywhere in this app. Every "coin" and "shell" is pretend, earned by playing.
- We never ask for or collect a home address, phone number, or any real-world contact information.
- All shops, orders, and pickups are make-believe — there is no real fulfillment.
- Content is written and reviewed to be appropriate for young children.
What information is stored
To save a child's progress (their character, coins, shells, and decorated house) between visits, the app stores:
- A chosen nickname and character appearance (hair, outfit, colors, etc. — no photo or real name is required).
- In-game progress: coins, shells, level, orders placed in the pretend shops, furniture/closet items, and a few play records that keep the game going on a new device — the pretend garden, a chosen savings goal, how many coin-counting rounds were practiced, how many days they've played, and which one-time messages Sunny has already said.
- Selfie-booth photos, if created — these use the child's cartoon character and a chosen backdrop, never a real photo or camera.
- Pretend chat messages with in-game "friends" — these friends are always other characters saved on the same device/account, never a real person or stranger. A child can tap a ready-made friendly message, or type a short one of their own (up to 90 characters); replies always come from a fixed set of scripted, friendly responses. No typed message is ever sent to, or seen by, anyone outside that same account. Typed chat stays on the device itself until a grown-up chooses to connect Google sync — before that, it is never uploaded anywhere.
- A Firebase anonymous sign-in identifier, created automatically so progress can sync across sessions. No email or personal details are required for this.
A grown-up can optionally connect the game to a Google account ("Sync" button) so progress carries over between devices. This is entirely optional; the game works fully without it.
What we don't collect
- No real names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment information.
- No advertising identifiers, and no third-party advertising or analytics/tracking SDKs are included in this app.
- No chat with strangers or real people outside the account — as described above, in-game "friends" are always local, on-device characters.
Who can see this data
Saved progress is private to the device/account it was created on. The one grown-up who runs the pretend shop can see pretend order details (what was "ordered" and a pickup code) in order to run the shop screen — never a child's address or contact information, because that is never collected in the first place.
How long we keep data
Progress saved on the device stays there until the app is uninstalled or a grown-up clears it. Cloud saves are kept while they're being used; we periodically delete cloud saves that have not been touched for a long time (at least 12 months of inactivity). A parent or guardian can delete a child's saved game at any time right from the app — open "For grown-ups" from the top bar, answer the parent question, and use "Delete saved data" — or ask us to do it using the contact below.
Deleting your child's data
You can delete a child's Shop All Summer data at any time — no account or password needed.
- In the app (instant): tap ℹ️ For grown-ups at the top of the screen, answer the grown-up question, scroll to Delete saved data and tap Yes, delete it. This erases that character's saved game on the device — nickname, look, coins, shells, orders, room, garden, photos, chat and every other play record — and, if cloud save is on, their cloud copy too. (If a grown-up ever used "make it for real" to send an order request to the shop owner, that request is kept for the shop owner; ask us by email to delete it.)
- Everything on a device: uninstalling the app (or clearing this website's data in your browser) removes all saved games stored on that device.
- By email: write to hello@shopallsummer.com with the character's nickname and roughly when it was last played, and we'll promptly delete the cloud save, any order requests, and — if a grown-up connected Sync — that grown-up's Google sign-in record (email and name) for you. We never ask for a child's real name.
Deleted data isn't kept anywhere afterwards. Cloud saves nobody has opened for 12 months are deleted automatically.
