Makie Privacy Notice
Updated 30 September 2026
Makie is operated by Askie Kids AI Limited. This notice covers Makie and supplements the Askie privacy policy for families who use both products.
Information Makie uses
Makie uses the adult's authenticated account, child profiles, optional child sign-in emails and invite status, maker usernames, game prompts, project source and revisions, generated assets, Make Credit and subscription records, Stripe billing identifiers, game data and scores, positive reactions, play counts, reports, and security logs needed to provide and protect the service.
Publishing and public data
Games are private until a maker chooses to publish. Anyone with a published link can play that fixed version. A maker may also list the version in Explore and choose whether signed-in Makie users can make a private copy. A copy includes the published code and assets with attribution, but not the original app's saved data or scores. Like counts, play counts, and Makie usernames may appear publicly. Askie profile names and child emails are not shown. Makers can stop sharing or remove an app from Explore at any time.
AI services and voice input
Makie uses third-party AI services to build, repair, illustrate, and safety-check games. When a maker asks Makie to build, change, or fix a game, Makie sends the request, the child's age, and the game's source code, error messages, and screenshots to Google Gemini on Google Cloud. If Google is temporarily unavailable, OpenAI may process the same data as a backup. Google Gemini also draws game art and cover images, checks photos a maker attaches to a request, and, before an app is listed in Explore, reviews its name, player-visible text, and source code for critical scams and inappropriate content. When a game has a talking character, what a player types to it is sent to Google Gemini (or OpenAI as a backup) to write the reply. TypeSafe checks game names and Makie usernames, with the child's age, to make sure they are suitable to show publicly. These providers process the data only on our instructions and only to provide these features, under agreements that require the same or equal protection as this notice; Google and OpenAI do not use it to train their models. The Makie iOS app asks for permission before a child's words are first sent to these providers. Optional dictation uses the device's or browser's speech recognition service; Makie receives the transcript, while the device or browser provider handles the audio under its own terms.
Cookies and measurement
Makie uses essential storage for authentication, language, security, and service operation. Makie follows Askie's existing analytics cookie choice and opt-out behavior through the shared banner. Unless analytics have been declined, Makie sends the approved action names, broad counts, stable game project identifiers, and context such as template, category, source, plan, and visibility described above. Makie's website also uses Google Ads to measure which of our ads lead to sign-ups.
Retention and deletion
Projects remain until they are deleted or the Makie account is deleted. Deleting Makie permanently removes Makie projects, drafts, scores, public links, reactions submitted by that Makie account, creator notifications, assets, and maker usernames without deleting the Askie account. A private copy made by another maker remains that maker's separate project with its attribution record. Limited billing, security, legal, or backup records may be retained when required.
Family choices
A parent or guardian can review Makie projects, add or remove a child's optional sign-in email, stop sharing, remove an app from Explore, stop future copying, change maker usernames, delete games, or permanently delete Makie from settings. Stopping future copying does not delete private copies already made by other makers. Applicable privacy rights can also be exercised through the contact below.
