Ddolbeng
Effective 2026-09-14
This policy covers ddolbeng.com and the apps listed in section 3, all of which are made for children. The principle we build to is simple: do not ask for anything we do not need. This page sets out exactly what is handled today, and what would change if that ever does.
Without an account link, nothing is collected at all. There are no ads, no analytics and no cookies anywhere in the family. The account link in section 4 is optional and exists in only some of the apps: until a grown-up connects one, nothing is sent to a server.
The home page lists some apps under “Places Ddolbeng visits”. We made those too, with the same characters, but each is run as a separate website of its own. They are marked with ↗ and open in a new tab. This policy does not apply to them; their own policy applies once you are there.
ddolbeng.com sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, and uses no analytics and no advertising. Reading it leaves nothing behind and tells us nothing about you.
The village and the friends move, which needs a small amount of
JavaScript — one file, /village.js, written by us and
loaded from this site. All it does is play an animation and a sound when
a child taps a character, and set the sky to the time on your own clock.
You are welcome to read it.
You do not have to take our word for that. Every
page here is served with a Content Security Policy of
connect-src 'none', which instructs your browser to
refuse any attempt by this site to send anything anywhere
— whatever the script contains. It is the same claim as
“we collect nothing”, in the form your browser enforces
rather than the form that depends on us.
| App | Kept on the device | Optional account link |
|---|---|---|
| Raising Ddolbeng raising.ddolbeng.com |
The pet and how it has grown, stickers and stamps, what it is wearing, the garden, and the language and sound settings. | Yes — see section 4. |
| Ddolbeng Picture Stories story.ddolbeng.com |
The comic itself — which backdrop, which friends and objects, where they stand, their poses and faces, the order of the panels — whatever the child types into the speech bubbles and the title, and the language and sound settings. | Yes — see section 4. |
| Ddolbeng Show the Way path.ddolbeng.com |
Which boards have been finished and which was open last, plus the language, sound and walking-speed settings. No times and no attempt counts are kept. | No. This app has no account link at all, and what it keeps stays on the device. |
| Ddolbeng Spot the Difference spot.ddolbeng.com |
The last twenty pictures — not the pictures themselves, but the two numbers that draw each one again, and which spots were found — plus the language and sound settings, whether the naming words are on, and the magnifier's strength. No times, no attempt counts and no totals are kept. | No. This app has no account link at all, and what it keeps stays on the device. |
| Ddolbeng Make a Friend maker.ddolbeng.com |
The friends the child made — not pictures but a handful of numbers saying which parts and colours were chosen, and the name the child gave each one. Plus the language and sound settings. How many were made, how long it took and which parts are popular are not stored. | Yes — see section 4. |
| Ddolbeng Two of Us together.ddolbeng.com |
The language and sound settings, and nothing else. No part of a game is kept — not who played as whom, not how many games, and not who won. | No. This app has no account link at all. |
| Ddolbeng Volleyball volley.ddolbeng.com |
The sound and speed settings, and the language. Nothing about the match is stored — not which friend was played, not how many matches, not the score. | None. This app has no account linking at all. |
| Ddolbeng Market market.ddolbeng.com |
The shelf arrangement and the language, and nothing else. Nothing about the serving is stored — not how many customers, not how many tries a count took. | None. This app has no account linking at all. |
| Ddolbeng Kitchen kitchen.ddolbeng.com |
The dishes kept in the menu book — which ingredients went through what — plus the language and sound settings. How many dishes were made, how long it took, which ingredients were used most and which steps were skipped are not stored. | None. This app has no account linking at all, and what is saved stays on the device. |
| Ddolbeng Weather Inside feelings.ddolbeng.com |
The feeling picked on each day, the friend keeping the child company, and the language. A day with no answer leaves nothing behind. | None, and deliberately so. A record of how a named child felt each day is sensitive information about a child, so unlike the other plays this one was built with no way to send it to a server at all. What is saved stays on the device. |
| Ddolbeng Band band.ddolbeng.com |
The friends seated on stage, the takes recorded, and the language and sound settings. A take is not sound: it is numbers saying which note was pressed when — this app does not use the microphone. How many takes were made and how long it took are not stored. | None. This app has no account linking at all, and what is saved stays on the device. |
About what a child types. Ddolbeng Picture Stories lets a child write in speech bubbles and name a story. What goes in there is the child's choice, so it is possible for them to write something that identifies them — their own name, for instance. That text stays on the device, and reaches a server only if a grown-up uses the account link in section 4, along with the rest of the comic. There is no way for another user to see it: nothing in the app shares or publishes a story. We suggest telling a child not to write personal details.
What is kept on the device lives in the browser's own storage (localStorage). None of it identifies a person and none of it leaves the device; we cannot see it. Clearing the site's data in your browser removes it, as does “start over” inside an app, which sits behind the grown-up check.
The web host that serves these pages may record ordinary access logs (IP address, time of request, browser type) as part of running and securing a web server. Those logs are not used to identify or profile anyone.
Where an app offers it, you can link an account so progress carries between devices. It is optional: every part of every app works without it. Linking can only be started from the settings screen, which sits behind a three-second press-and-hold intended for a grown-up.
Everything here is made for children. With no account linked, nothing is collected and so there is no consent step.
For a child under 14, the account link in section 4 may only be used after a parent or guardian consents. It can only be started from behind the grown-up check, so a child cannot complete it alone, and connecting an account constitutes that guardian's consent. A guardian may at any time ask to see, correct or delete the child's information or stop its processing, and can end it immediately with “Unlink” in settings.
You, or a guardian acting for a child, may ask at any time to see, correct, or delete personal information, or to stop it being processed. Write to the address below and we will act without delay and tell you what we did.
If you have not linked an account, nothing is collected, and the progress on the device can be erased by you immediately using either method in section 3.
Everything is served over HTTPS throughout. Linked saves are restricted by server rules to their own account, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
We publish our videos to a YouTube channel, Ddolbeng & Friends. To do that we use a small tool of our own that runs on our own computer and talks to YouTube API Services. It signs in as the channel owner and does one thing: it uploads our finished videos, their thumbnails, their titles and descriptions, and their caption tracks, and sorts them into our own playlists.
It never touches you. The tool reads and writes only our own channel. It does not read any other channel, it does not search YouTube, and it collects nothing about the people who watch. Nothing about a viewer reaches it, because a viewer is never part of it.
The only credential involved is the channel owner's, and it is stored as a single file on the owner's own computer. The owner can withdraw that access at any time at Google account permissions, which stops the tool immediately; the file is then deleted. There is no server, so there is nothing else to delete.
Because it uses YouTube API Services, this tool is bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
This site does not embed YouTube. The YouTube button on the home page is an ordinary link that opens youtube.com in a new tab — no player is loaded here, so we set no YouTube or Google cookie. Once you are on youtube.com, YouTube's own policy applies.
If this policy changes, the change and its effective date will be posted here. Changes that matter to you — such as beginning to collect information, or a new app appearing in section 3 that handles more than the ones already listed — will be announced at least 7 days before they take effect, and any change affecting children's information will require a guardian's consent again.
