Safety & security

Built for the most precious data there is: your family's

Hubbly holds your children's routines, your calendar, your photos and your medication notes. We treat that the way you'd want us to: locked up, kept to ourselves, and never, ever sold.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Your family's data travels over HTTPS/TLS and is encrypted at rest in Google Cloud. Only devices that have joined your family can see it.

No ads. Ever.

Hubbly has no advertising and never sells your data. Children are never profiled or marketed to.

Family-only by design

A device can only see your data if it has joined your family with your code. No public profiles, no strangers.

Delete anytime

Leave your family or wipe everything in a couple of taps. Your data is yours; take it or remove it whenever you like.

Encryption

Locked, coming and going

Two layers of encryption, both handled for you, with nothing to switch on.

  • 🔐

    In transit

    Every byte between your devices and our servers travels over HTTPS / TLS, the standard encryption that protects data across the web.

  • 🗄️

    At rest

    Synced data is stored in Google Cloud (Firebase), encrypted at rest with AES-256. On your device, data stays inside the app's private, OS-protected storage.

Encrypted on the wire and on the disk

We're honest about what this is and isn't: it's strong, industry-standard protection. We don't claim end-to-end encryption we haven't built.

Data minimisation

We collect as little as we possibly can

The less we hold, the safer your family is. Here's the line we draw.

What Hubbly does

  • Store your data on your device so it works offline
  • Encrypt everything in transit and at rest
  • Ask permission before notifications, photos or location
  • Let you export or delete everything, anytime

What Hubbly never does

  • Show adverts to anyone, on any plan
  • Sell, rent or trade your family’s data
  • Profile or track children for marketing
  • Use your microphone or read your contacts
Designed for children

Hubbly is used by children, so it's built around them

We follow the UK's Age-Appropriate Design Code (the Children's Code), and align with COPPA and GDPR-K. In plain terms: the safe choice is the default, and there's nothing for a child to accidentally switch off.

🙅

No child accounts

Children never create logins, hand over emails, or have passwords. A parent sets everything up.

📵

No profiling or ads

We never build advertising profiles of children, and there is no advertising anywhere in Hubbly.

🧸

Age-appropriate by default

Designed to the UK Children’s Code: gentle, private settings on from the start, with nothing to tighten up.

👪

Parents stay in charge

Grown-ups enter and control all family data. Settings sit behind a PIN kids can’t guess past.

🔢

A PIN on the door

Settings sit behind a 4-digit PIN, so little hands can’t rewrite the rules or wander off into things they shouldn’t.

🔑

Family-only by code

A device only joins your family with your 6-digit code. Codes are write-once and can never be re-pointed at someone else.

🧳

Yours to take or erase

Export your whole hub to a file, leave your family to disconnect a device, or delete everything, all in a couple of taps.
