What Brainy Bit is, honestly

A plain answer to the questions any parent should ask before their kid spends time on a site: who made this, what does it collect, and can I trust the content?

Who's behind it

Brainy Bit is built by Leo, an 11-year-old, with AI assistance for drafting and building. It's a real learning project, not a funded company — read the full story here. We think that's worth knowing upfront, not hidden.

Where the content comes from

Articles are drafted with AI help and personally reviewed by Leo before publishing. Facts are cross-checked against trusted, established sources — encyclopedias, major news organizations, and reputable kids' education sites — rather than published from a single unverified source. If something's ever wrong, we fix it fast when it's flagged.

What we don't do

No accounts are required to read. No behavioral tracking or ad targeting. No selling data to third parties. No public profiles, comments, or chat between visitors. No in-app purchases — badges and streaks (where available) can't be bought, only earned by reading.

The one thing we do collect

If you sign your family up for the monthly newsletter, we store a first name, surname, and email address, used only to send that newsletter. Nothing else about your child's activity on the site is collected. Full details are in our privacy policy.

Got a concern?

If you ever see something on Brainy Bit that doesn't sit right — a factual error, a topic you'd rather your child not see, or anything else — email us directly. A real person reads and responds to every message.
