Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 11, 2026
Mission Internet is an online safety course for kids aged 9 to 12. A course about safety has to be safe itself, so we collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
1. Who is responsible
Mission Internet, Ben Deschler, Maria-Viktoria-Straße 11, 76530 Baden-Baden, Germany. Email: ben@getmissioninternet.com. We are based in Germany, so we follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the strictest privacy laws in the world.
2. Children's privacy
The course is used by children, but the account belongs to the parent. Children never enter an email address, a last name, a photo or contact details, and there is no chat with other users: every chat in the course is simulated. The parent buys the course and fills in the setup form, which is how we get parental consent for the small amount of information we store about the child. We do not show ads to children and we do not sell or share children's information. In line with the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), parents can review the information about their child, ask us to delete it and refuse further collection at any time by emailing ben@getmissioninternet.com.
3. What we store and why
- Parent account: your email address and a sign-in code we email you. Purpose: sign in on any device, send you course emails and the monthly refresher test.
- About your kid: a first name or nickname, age, grade, which kinds of apps they use, your priorities and what they already know. Purpose: build and personalize the course and print the name on the certificate.
- Learning progress: which units are done, answers and scores. Purpose: show progress and unlock the next day. We never pass on your kid's answers.
- Certificate: number, first name, date and course. The public verification page only shows first name, date and course.
- Purchase: payments are processed by Stripe. We receive your email, the amount and the payment status, never your card details. We keep purchase records as required by tax law.
- Reviews: if you leave a review, we store your rating, text and the name you choose.
4. Partner program
If you sign up as a partner, we store your name, email, channel, profile and code, plus the purchases credited to your code (date, amount, status, without buyer data), to run the program and pay commissions.
5. Cookies and measurement
Without your consent we only count visits anonymously, without cookies and without an ID. Only if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner do we use cookies to measure our ads with Google Ads and Meta (Facebook, Instagram). You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the page. We never use these tools inside the course.
6. Service providers
We work with these providers, who process data only on our behalf: Vercel (website hosting, USA), OVH (our own server in France, EU, for accounts and progress), Stripe (payments), Resend (sign-in and course emails, sent via servers in Ireland) with Postmark as a backup, and Zoho (our own mailbox, EU). Where data is transferred to the USA, this is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
7. How long we keep data
We keep account and progress data as long as the account exists. If you ask us to, we delete the kid's profile, progress or the whole account. Purchase records are kept as long as tax law requires.
8. Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability and you can object to processing. Under GDPR you can also complain to a data protection authority. US residents, including California residents, have the right to know, delete and correct their personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising. Just email ben@getmissioninternet.com.
9. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date above. For important changes we'll let you know by email.
