Privacy Policy

My CoParent | Last updated: 16 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how My CoParent Ltd ('we', 'us', 'our') collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use the CoParent app. It is written in plain English as required under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who We Are
Data Controller: My Coparent Ltd
Registered Address: 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU
ICO Registration Number: ZC160311

If you have questions about this policy or your data, please contact us at the address above.
2. What the App Does
My CoParent is a personal communication coaching tool for separated or divorced parents. It helps you:
— Message Rewriting
You draft a message to the other co-parent. The app rewrites it in different tones — all designed to be less inflammatory and more collaborative — so you can choose the version that works best.
— Communication Templates
Common co-parenting situations (such as drop-off, pick-up, or schedule changes) are available as templates. These are pre-populated with details from your profile to save you time.
— Communication Analysis
Each message is given a score based on two measures: how child-centred it is, and the level of conflict risk it carries. These scores are stored on your account so you can track your progress over the last month and understand key themes to improve your communication.
My CoParent is a solo tool. Your account, your child's details, your messages, and your scores belong to you alone. They are not shared with any other user, including the other co-parent.When you are ready to send a message, you send it yourself via WhatsApp, SMS, or email. The app provides quick links to make this easier, but the message is sent through your own chosen channel. We do not send messages on your behalf.3. What Data We Collect and Why
We only collect data that is necessary to provide the app's features.
— Account Data
Your name (User Name), email address, parenting style, the name of the co-parent (for context in templates), and the school name. Used to set up your account and pre-populate templates.
— Children's Data
Your child's first name and school name. Used to personalise templates and the analysis section. Additionally, when you use the message rewriting tool or templates, you may choose to enter free-text information about your child including wellbeing updates, medical information, appointment details, school-related information, and financial requests such as funding for items. This information forms part of your message records and is stored on your account only.
— Original Message Text
The message you type before rewriting. Stored as part of your analysis record so we can show you what changed and help you understand your communication patterns.
— Rewritten Message and What Changed
The AI-rewritten version of your message, and a plain-English summary of what was changed and why. Stored on your account to support learning and progress tracking.
— Communication Scores
Two scores are calculated for each message: a child-centred score and a conflict risk score. These are stored on your account to power the analysis and progress features. Scores are personal and never visible to anyone else.
— Device Data
Your device type and push notification token. Used to deliver in-app notifications.
— Technical Data
IP address and action timestamps. Used for security, fraud prevention, and maintaining a reliable record of account activity.
4. Our Lawful Bases for Processing Your Data
— Performance of a Contract (Article 6(1)(b))
To provide the app's core features: account management, message rewriting, template generation, and communication analysis.
— Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f))
To keep the app secure, prevent misuse, and provide customer support. We have assessed that our legitimate interests do not override your rights.
— Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c))
To comply with UK law, including any applicable safeguarding obligations or lawful court orders.
— Explicit Consent (Article 9(2)(a))
Required if you enter any health or medical information about a child into the app. You will be asked to give separate explicit consent before accessing any health-related template.
5. Children's Data
We store your child's first name and school name to personalise the app's templates and analysis features. When you use the message rewriting tool or any template, you may also enter additional information about your child including medical updates, wellbeing information, appointment details, school information, and financial requests. This information is entered voluntarily by you as part of drafting a message and is stored as part of your message record.
All children's data is stored on your account only. It is not visible to, shared with, or accessible by any other user — including the other co-parent.
Medical and health information about your child is Special Category Data under Article 9 of the UK GDPR. By ticking the health data consent checkbox at signup, you have given your explicit consent for this data to be processed as described in this policy.
By adding a child's details to the app, you confirm that you hold parental responsibility for that child and are authorised to provide their information.
