Kid SpaceThe short version
Kid Space helps you limit what your child can open on your phone. It is a helper and does not replace your supervision. We provide it as it is, without a guarantee that it will stop every way out of Kid mode on every device.
Agreeing to these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and PankoByte (“we”) about Kid Space, the Android app, and this website. By installing or using the app you accept them. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app.
Who can use Kid Space
The app is meant to be set up by a parent or guardian who is an adult. Children use the Kid mode screen that the adult prepares. You are responsible for the device, for the apps you allow, and for the child using it.
What the app does
Kid Space lets you choose which apps a child can open, set a time limit, and lock the way out with a parent PIN. While Kid mode is on, it returns the child to the Kid Space home screen when another app comes to the front.
What the app cannot promise
Android phones differ by maker and version, and no parental control app can block every route on every device. Kid Space may fail to stop a child from leaving Kid mode in some cases, for example if the phone is restarted, if the system turns off app protection, or if a phone maker's software behaves in an unusual way.
Kid Space does not filter or check what happens inside the apps you allow. If you allow a browser or a video app, your child can reach whatever that app offers.
Please keep supervising your child. Do not rely on Kid Space as the only safeguard.
Your parent PIN
Choose a PIN your child does not know and keep it private. The PIN is stored only on your phone as a hash, so we cannot see it, send it to you or reset it for you.
Emergency calls
The PIN screen has an Emergency link that opens the phone dialer. Kid Space is not an emergency service, and we cannot guarantee that calls connect. That depends on your phone and your network.
Acceptable use
Use Kid Space only on a device you own or are allowed to manage, and only for looking after a child in your care. Do not use it to restrict or monitor another adult without their knowledge.
Source code and ownership
The source code is public at github.com/PankoByte/kidspace. Your rights to copy, change or share the code are set by the licence in that repository. The Kid Space name, the frog icon and the artwork belong to PankoByte.
Other apps and services
Kid Space opens apps made by other companies. We are not responsible for their content, their behaviour or their privacy practices. Google Play and GitHub have their own terms.
Updates and availability
We may update the app, change features, or stop offering it. We try to keep it working on current Android versions but do not promise support for every device.
No warranty
Kid Space is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we give no warranty of any kind, including that the app will be free of errors, will run without interruption, or will fit a particular purpose.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, PankoByte is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss or harm that results from a child reaching apps, content, purchases or settings on your device, whether Kid mode was on or not. Nothing in these terms removes rights that the law of your country says cannot be removed.
Privacy
The app collects no data. The details are in the privacy policy.
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. When we do, we will update this page and the date at the top. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the new terms.
