Facebook and Google sign-in

What Numbula gets from Facebook and Google, and how to remove it

A grown-up can sign in to Numbula with Google instead of a password. This page says what that gives us, and how to take it back. Numbula does not offer Facebook sign-in yet.

What Numbula receives

  • Only if you choose Continue with Google. Nobody has to: a username and password work the same.
  • From Google: the ID of your Google account, your name and email address as Google has them, and whether Google has checked that the email is yours. The ID is a number, not your email address.
  • If Google has checked your email and you sign up with that address, Numbula stores it as verified. Every new account gets a code by email all the same, which you type to agree before you add a child, and which also verifies an address Google has not checked.
  • Numbula keeps those with your account, with when you connected Google and when you last signed in with it. It keeps no Google password or token, and nothing else Google sends, such as your profile picture. It never sees your photos, contacts or mail.

What Google receives

  • Google knows that you signed in to Numbula, because you sign in on its own page.
  • A child's data never goes to Google when you sign in. Numbula sends it nothing about a child, their answers or their progress.
  • No page on Numbula loads a Google script, so Google cannot watch what you do here.

How to disconnect Google

  • In the grown-up area, open Settings, then Sign-in methods, and press Disconnect next to Google.
  • Numbula will not disconnect the only way you can log in. Set a password first, on the same card.
  • Disconnecting deletes the ID, and the name and email that came with it. The email on your account stays, so you can still get codes from us. Your children and their progress stay too.

How to delete everything

  • In the grown-up area, open Settings and press Close the account. Every device signs out at once.
  • 30 days later Numbula deletes the account, with everything Google gave us and every child, answer and round on it. Until then, log in and choose Keep my account to change your mind.
  • The privacy notice lists everything that goes.

Removing Numbula in Google

  • You can remove Numbula in your Google Account at myaccount.google.com, under Security, then Your connections to third-party apps and services.
  • That takes back what Numbula may read. It does not stop you signing in: if you press Continue with Google again, it asks again, and the same account signs back in.
  • To stop signing in with Google, disconnect it on Settings, under Sign-in methods.
  • Removing it does not delete your Numbula account. Google does not tell Numbula, so your account and your children's progress stay until you close the account.
