Brain Booster ("we", "our", or "us") is a free educational web application that helps children in Grades K–8 prepare for CogAT and SAGES gifted assessments. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have as a parent or guardian.
We take the privacy of children extremely seriously. Brain Booster is designed so that children do not create their own accounts and no personal information is collected directly from children. All data is associated with a parent or guardian account.
This policy applies to all users of the Brain Booster web application at bboostapp.com and app.bboostapp.com. Our service is directed at parents and guardians of children in Grades K–8. Children use the app under a parent's account and do not interact with our data collection systems directly.
We use the information collected solely to:
We do not use your information for marketing, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not contact you with unsolicited communications.
Advertisements are shown only to parents and guardians — never to children during their practice sessions. We use Google AdSense to serve contextual advertisements.
Brain Booster is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Google AdSense policies for child-directed content:
tag_for_child_directed_treatment=1 and tag_for_under_age_of_consent=1 flags, which tell Google to treat all ad requests as child-directedFor users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we display a consent notice in accordance with the GDPR ePrivacy requirements before any advertising is shown. You may choose to decline personalised advertising; contextual-only advertising will be shown instead.

Brain Booster is designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. All data about a child's quiz performance is associated with and accessible only through the parent or guardian's account.

Data is stored in the Firebase region you are closest to. You can request deletion of all your data at any time (see Section 8).
