Privacy policy

As of October 2026 · Deutsche Fassung

This English version is provided for convenience. If the versions differ, the German version prevails.

1. Controller

DHX LLC, 8 The Green, STB 199901, Dover, Delaware, USA
Email: contact@myparentpath.com

This policy applies to the website myparentpath.com, the MyParentPath app (Android and iPhone; called MeinElternWeg in German) and the web app at app.myparentpath.com.

2. This website

When you visit the website, our host ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, stores technically necessary server log data (IP address, time, page visited, browser). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure operation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The website sets no cookies, uses no tracking and loads no content from third parties. Invitation pages (/i/…) only read the code inside your browser.

3. What data the app processes

MyParentPath helps parents organise their children's everyday lives together. For this we only process what you or the other parent enter yourselves:

The legal basis is the performance of the user agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You only store health details about the children if you enter them yourself; the legal basis is your consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by deleting the details.

If you enter contacts or details about other people (e.g. school, paediatrician, babysitter), please make sure you are allowed to share them.

4. Who sees the data

Family data is visible only to the two connected parents. If a parent with MyParentPath Plus invites a caregiver (e.g. grandparents, new partners), they can only read where the children are, handovers, events, trips, contacts and emergency information – no chats, expenses, documents or history. Caregiver access ends when the family's Plus subscription ends. Parents can remove caregivers at any time.

As the operator, we do not analyse content such as chats, events, documents or children's data. We only access it when strictly necessary for technical operation or at your request in support.

Reporting messages: if you report a message of the other parent (long press on the message), we receive the text of this one message, the reason, the time and your family's ID in order to review insults, threats or harassment. The other parent is not told. We delete reports once they have been handled, at the latest after 12 months (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in safe communication).

“Calm Communication” (suggestions for calmer wording in the chat) and the insult filter run entirely on your device; messages are not sent to us or third parties for this. Spotting clashes in the calendar also happens inside the app.

Calendar subscription (Plus): on request we create a personal, secret link through which your calendar program (e.g. Google, Apple, Outlook) fetches events, handovers, holidays and trips. Anyone who knows the link can see these entries; you can renew it in the app at any time, which makes the old one invalid. The provider of your calendar program processes the fetched entries under its own responsibility.

5. Service providers and advertising

Google Firebase (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland): sign-in and database (data centres in the EU), file storage for uploaded documents, receipt photos and chat attachments (currently a data centre in the USA, region us-west1), server functions (region Belgium; the storage check runs in the region of the file storage) and push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging, delivered on iPhone via the Apple Push Notification service). We have a data processing agreement with Google; transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.

Fonts in the web app: if a text contains characters our own font cannot show (e.g. emojis or other alphabets), the web app at app.myparentpath.com loads the matching font from Google (fonts.gstatic.com). Your IP address is transmitted to Google; the content of your messages is not (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in displaying text correctly). The Android and iPhone apps do not load fonts.

Advertising in the free Android app – Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited): in the free version we occasionally show ads – never in the chat, during handovers or in forms, and none at all with MyParentPath Plus. For this, AdMob processes your device's advertising ID, the IP address and information about the device and interaction with ads, including for fraud prevention. We only show personalised ads with your consent, which you give or refuse in Google's consent window at first start (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Without consent you receive non-personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time and reset or delete the advertising ID in the Android settings. More information: policies.google.com/technologies/ads. The iPhone app and the web app show no ads.

Subscriptions via Google Play: if you buy MyParentPath Plus in the Android app, Google handles the payment. We receive no payment details, only a purchase identifier with which we check with Google whether the subscription is active and assign it to your account (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Sign in with Apple and subscriptions via the App Store: if you sign in with Apple, we receive your name and email address from Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland) – if you choose, an address forwarded by Apple that hides your real one. If you buy MyParentPath Plus in the iPhone app, Apple handles the payment. We receive no payment details, only a purchase identifier with which we check with Apple whether the subscription is active and assign it to your account (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Subscriptions in the browser – Stripe: if you buy Plus in the web app, payment is made via Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland. Stripe processes the payment data under its own responsibility; we receive name, email address, subscription status and billing details, but no full card details. When you delete your account, a Stripe subscription is cancelled automatically.

6. Retention and deletion

We store data as long as your account exists. You can delete your account in the app at any time (More → Privacy → Delete account) or request deletion by email (how it works). Shared family data remains available to the other parent as long as the family is used. Chats are only deleted if both parents agree. Payment providers keep billing and payment data according to statutory retention periods.

7. Transfers to the USA

The operator, DHX LLC, is based in the USA. Calendar, chats, expenses and all other app data are stored in data centres in the EU; uploaded files (documents, receipt photos, chat attachments) are currently stored by Google Cloud Storage in a data centre in the USA. These transfers and any access by the operator for operation and support are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified, and on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

8. Children

MyParentPath is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Children have no account of their own; their data is entered by the parents as part of parental responsibility.

9. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability (export in the app under More → Privacy) and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), the right to withdraw consent with effect for the future, and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Just write to us at contact@myparentpath.com.

10. Changes

We update this policy when the app or the legal situation changes. The version published here applies.
