Terms of use

Last updated 22 October 2026

Using Otter

Otter gives parents and carers ideas for screen-free play with children. By using the app you agree to these terms. The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard licensed application end user licence agreement, and these terms sit alongside it.

Play safely

• Ideas are suggestions, not instructions. You know your child best. Check that each activity, the materials and the setting suit their age and abilities.
• Stay with young children and keep small parts, water, sharp tools, heat and anything they could swallow out of reach.
• Age ranges and mess levels are a guide only.

Learning links

The Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 links in Otter are our own guide to the learning inside the play. They are not a lesson plan, an assessment or professional educational advice.

Your content

Your family's details, Moments and photos stay on your phone. If you choose to share an idea with us for review, you give us permission to edit it and include it in Otter. Only share ideas you wrote yourself.

Our content

The Otter app, its ideas, illustrations and the Otter character belong to us. You may use them within the app for your own family, but not copy or resell them.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Otter useful and reliable, but it is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss or injury arising from use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have by law that cannot be limited.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Questions? Email mcd.calum@icloud.com.
