Privacy Policy

We built Momkick for moms, by a mom. Your privacy and your children's privacy are at the heart of everything we do.

Last updated: April 2026

1
Who We Are

Momkick is a private, invitation-only community app for mothers. We are operated by Lauren Hulsey. You can reach us at lauren@momkick.com with any privacy-related questions.

2
Who Can Use Momkick

Momkick is intended for adults 18 years of age and older. We do not allow children to create accounts. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us immediately at lauren@momkick.com and we will remove it.

What Information We Collect
Information You Provide About Yourself
Account information: email address, first and last name, username, city, and optional bio or profile photo
Posts, comments, and messages you write within communities and chats
Your friendship connections within the app
Information You Provide About Your Children
Child's first name
Date of birth (used only to calculate and display age)
Gender (optional)
Activities and schedules you enter
Milestone notes and photos you capture
Reminders you set

All children's profile data is entered and controlled entirely by you, the parent. Momkick does not interact with or collect information directly from children.

Location Information

When adding activities, you may optionally search for and attach a location (such as a school or sports field). This is done through Google Places and is stored as a plain text address. We do not track your device's GPS location.

Notification Preferences

If you enable features like Reminders or the Mom Brain daily briefing, we store your notification time preferences so the app can deliver alerts at the right time. All notifications are delivered locally on your device and are not sent through third-party ad networks.

Referral and Invite Codes

We track invite codes to enforce our invitation-only community and count successful referrals. A code is marked as used only after a successful account creation.

Usage and Technical Data

We use Supabase as our backend provider. Standard server logs may capture timestamps and error logs for debugging purposes. We do not use advertising networks, behavioral tracking, or analytics SDKs.

How We Use Your Information
Create and manage your account
Display your kids' schedules, activities, milestones, and reminders
Send you local notifications you have opted into (reminders, Mom Brain briefings)
Connect you with other moms in communities and chats
Enforce our invitation-only membership model
Improve the app based on how features are used

We do not sell your information. We do not use your information for advertising. We do not share your information with data brokers.

5
Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Momkick complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Momkick accounts are for parents only. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
When a parent creates a profile for their child within the app, that information is provided by the parent, stored under the parent's account, and is only accessible to that parent.
Children's data (names, birthdays, activities, milestones, reminders) is protected by database-level security rules and is never visible to other users.
We do not share children's information with third parties.
We do not use children's information for advertising or any commercial purpose.
Parents have the right to review, correct, or delete any information they have entered about their child at any time. To delete a child's profile and all associated data, remove it within the app or contact us at lauren@momkick.com.

How We Protect Your Data

We have built security into every layer of Momkick:

Row-Level Security (RLS)
Your profile data can only be read or modified by you
Your children's profiles, activities, milestones, and reminders can only be accessed by you, not by other parents, community members, or administrators
Your private messages can only be read by you and the person you're messaging
Community posts are only visible to verified members of that community
Access is enforced by the database engine itself, not just application code
Authentication

All accounts are protected by Supabase Auth, which uses industry-standard secure token authentication. Passwords are never stored in plain text.

Encrypted Transmission

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. This includes all app data, photos, and messages.

File Storage Security

Photos you upload (profile pictures, milestone photos, post images) are stored in isolated, access-controlled storage buckets. Your files can only be accessed by your account.

Invitation-Only Access

Momkick is not publicly open. New users can only join with a valid invitation code from an existing member, keeping the community trusted.

No Third-Party Advertising or Tracking

We do not integrate advertising SDKs, behavioral analytics platforms, or data brokers. No third party receives your data for commercial purposes.

7
Information Shared With Other Users

Momkick is a social app, which means some of what you share is visible to others:

Posts in public communities are visible to all community members
You may optionally post anonymously in public communities and your name will not be shown
Posts in school and professional communities use your real name and are visible to members of that community
Direct messages are private between you and the recipient
Your friend list is visible to your friends
Your profile (name, photo, username, bio, city) is visible to other members

Children's data is never shared with other users under any circumstances.

8
Third-Party Services
Supabase

Our database, authentication, and file storage provider. Data is stored on their infrastructure. Their privacy policy is available at supabase.com/privacy.

Google Places API

Used only when you search for a location when adding an activity. Only the text of the address you select is stored. Google's privacy policy applies to this search interaction.

Apple iOS Calendar

If you choose to sync an activity to your device calendar, this is done directly on your device using iOS's native calendar integration. We do not have access to your device calendar.

Apple Notifications

Reminders and Mom Brain briefings are delivered as local notifications scheduled on your device. We do not use push notification services that route your data through ad networks.

Smart Fill (Activity Input)

The "Fill in for me" feature on the Add Activity screen uses a natural language service to parse descriptions into activity fields. When you use this feature, only your typed description and today's date are processed. No names, no children's data, no account information, and no location history are transmitted. Kid name matching happens entirely on your device. This feature is optional and off by default.

9
Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting lauren@momkick.com. Upon a valid deletion request, we will permanently delete:

Your profile and account credentials
Your children's profiles, activities, milestones, and reminders
Your posts and messages
Your photos and uploaded files

Some data may be retained briefly in backups before being fully purged.

10
Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
Correction: request that we fix inaccurate information
Deletion: request that we delete your data (see Section 9)
Portability: request your data in a portable format
Objection: object to certain uses of your data

California residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at lauren@momkick.com.

11
Notifications

Momkick may send you local notifications for features you have opted into, such as kid reminders and the Mom Brain daily briefing. These notifications are scheduled locally on your device. You can turn off all notifications at any time in your iPhone Settings under Momkick, or by disabling individual features within the app.

12
Community Content Disclaimer

Momkick is a peer-to-peer community platform. Content posted by members, including advice, recommendations, opinions, and information related to parenting, health, child development, nutrition, education, or any other topic, is shared by individual users and is not verified, endorsed, reviewed, or approved by Momkick.

Nothing shared on Momkick constitutes professional medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other licensed professional advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions about your child's health, development, education, or wellbeing.

Momkick is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content posted by community members. You use and act on any information shared in this app at your own discretion and risk.

13
Give & Receive — In-Person Meeting Disclaimer

Momkick's Give & Receive feature facilitates connections between community members who wish to donate or receive items. Momkick strongly advises against meeting strangers in person. We recommend contact-free drop-offs at well-lit public locations such as park entrances, library lobbies, or community center drop boxes during daytime hours.

If you choose to meet another user in person to exchange items, you do so entirely at your own risk. Momkick is not responsible for any harm, loss, theft, injury, or other incident arising from in-person exchanges arranged through the app. We do not verify the identity, criminal history, or intentions of any user.

Tips for safe exchanges: meet only in public places, bring a friend if possible, let someone know where you are going, do not invite unknown parties to your home, and trust your instincts. If anything feels wrong, do not proceed.

Verified Organizations displayed in Give & Receive have been manually reviewed by Momkick but this verification does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of any organization's practices, safety, or legitimacy. Donations are made at the user's own discretion.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the app. Your continued use of Momkick after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We will always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
