Privacy Notice
Last updated: September 2026
Who is responsible for your data
Equimotional is the trading name of Charlotte Vicary, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. Charlotte Vicary trading as Equimotional is the data controller for the personal data described in this notice — meaning we decide how and why it is used, and we are responsible for looking after it.
What we collect and why
We collect the following categories of personal data:
- Account details — your name, email address and sign-in credentials, so we can create and secure your account (legal basis: performing our contract with you).
- Family and child details you choose to add — such as a child's first name or nickname, interests and progress, so we can personalise projects, badges and certificates. Children never hold their own accounts and their names are never shown publicly (legal basis: performing our contract with you).
- Messages you send us — so we can answer questions and provide support (legal basis: legitimate interests).
- Usage and device data — such as pages visited, device type and IP address, to keep the service secure, prevent fraud and improve it (legal basis: legitimate interests).
Payment details are collected and processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record, when you make a purchase — we never see or store your card details.
Who we share it with
We share personal data only where needed, with:
- Service providers who host and operate the platform, storage and analytics on our behalf;
- Paddle, our Merchant of Record, who processes sales, subscriptions, payments, tax compliance and invoicing;
- Professional advisers (such as accountants or legal advisers) where necessary;
- Authorities where we are required to do so by law.
We never sell your personal data.
International transfers
Some of our service providers process data outside the UK/EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses to protect your data.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, including legal, accounting and tax requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data; to restrict or object to how we use it; to data portability; and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. We respond to requests within one month. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — including encryption and access controls — to keep your data safe. Children's content is stored privately and is only accessible to the parent account it belongs to.
Cookies
We use essential cookies (and similar storage) to keep you signed in and make the service work. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though essential features may not work without them.
