Pomble Terms
Effective 17 August 2026 · Family-testing version
Pomble is a calm family games library. A grown-up creates and looks after the account; children use profiles within that household and never receive login credentials.
1. Who may create an account
You must be 18 or over and able to accept these Terms for your household. You are responsible for the information entered, the profiles you create and keeping the account password private.
2. Family profiles
An account may contain adult and child profiles for your household. Use first names or familiar display names rather than unnecessary identifying information. Do not create a profile for somebody unless you have authority to do so.
3. Using Pomble
Use Pomble lawfully and for personal or agreed educational use. Do not attempt to interfere with the service, access another household, probe security controls, automate account creation or copy and republish Pomble’s games and artwork.
4. Account security
Confirmation is required before login. During family testing this is a clearly labelled on-screen development step, not proof that you control the email address. It will be replaced by emailed confirmation before general release. Pomble stores only a salted password verifier, never the password itself. The grown-ups’ room may also use a separate four-digit device PIN. Tell us promptly if you believe the account has been used without permission.
5. Family testing and availability
Pomble is still in family testing. Features may change, and occasional interruptions are possible. We will take reasonable care of the service and account data, but you should not treat Pomble as the only copy of important children’s artwork or records.
6. Subscription
Payments are not currently switched on. Before any paid subscription begins, the price, trial, renewal and cancellation terms will be shown clearly to the grown-up and these Terms will be updated. Nothing in the child’s space will ask a child to buy or renew anything.
7. Closing an account
You may ask for the account and its server-held household profiles to be deleted by emailing francesca@thebaileywheelers.co.uk from the account email. Device-local play history and artwork must be erased on that device.
8. Privacy
The Privacy Notice explains what is stored online, what remains on each device, why it is used and how to ask for access or deletion. It forms part of these Terms.
9. Changes
If a material change affects existing accounts, Pomble will explain it to the grown-up in plain language. Continued use after the stated effective date means the updated Terms apply.
10. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent to francesca@thebaileywheelers.co.uk.
