Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 July 2026

MyFirstPayslip ("we", "us", "our") is operated by Michelle Brown, based in Elsenham, Essex, United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights parents and guardians have regarding their child's information.

We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, UK data protection law (UK GDPR), and the requirements of the app stores through which MyFirstPayslip is distributed.

1. Information We Collect

From parents/guardians (the account holder): Email address, payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we do not store your card details), and family account settings (e.g. pot split percentages, task assignments).

From children, with parental consent: First name, a 4-digit PIN chosen by the parent (children do not create their own accounts, email addresses, or passwords), task and lesson activity (which tasks were completed, scores, and pay amounts), and wallet balances across the Tax & Community, Responsibilities, Dream Fund, and Wallet pots.

We do not knowingly collect any other personal information from children, including photos, location data, or contact lists.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information collected solely to:

• Operate the core features of the app (assigning tasks, tracking pay, generating payslips)
• Process your family subscription payment via Stripe
• Send account-related emails (e.g. payslip notifications) via our email provider, Resend
• Respond to support requests

We do not use children's information for targeted advertising, and we do not show advertising of any kind within the app.

3. Parental Consent

Because MyFirstPayslip is intended for use by children under 13, we require the parent or guardian to create the family account and provide consent before any child profile is added. Parents control all payment amounts and must approve every payment before it is released to a child's wallet.

Parents can review, edit, or delete their child's information at any time, and can withdraw consent by deleting the child's profile or the family account entirely.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell children's personal information. We do not share children's information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

We use the following third-party service providers strictly to operate the app:

• Stripe — payment processing
• Resend — transactional email delivery
• Replit — application hosting

These providers process data only as necessary to provide their service to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain family and child account information for as long as the account remains active. If a subscription is cancelled, account data is retained for 60 days in case you wish to reactivate, after which it is permanently deleted unless you request earlier deletion.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information we hold, including secure password/PIN storage and encrypted payment processing via Stripe. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we are committed to protecting your family's information.

7. Your Rights

As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:

• Review the personal information we have collected from your child
• Request correction or deletion of that information
• Refuse further collection or use of your child's information
• Cancel your subscription and delete your account at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@myfirstpayslip.co.uk.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify parents of any material changes by email before they take effect.
