TaraLand Zero-Data Architecture
A reproducible architecture note for child-safe, client-only play experiences.
TaraLand proves the simplest privacy promise: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no server-side child profile, and activities that run on the device.

Abstract
This preprint documents the architecture behind TaraLand, the VNG kids surface. The claim is intentionally narrow: the current production routes are designed as a zero-data, client-only play system. The proof path is route inspection, network-request review, and the public /kids demo itself. This is not a legal certification; it is an engineering artifact that makes the privacy claim testable.
Claims
- Child routes do not require account creation.
- Playable activities run in the browser without uploading files or child activity state.
- The parent-facing promise is backed by route-level design, not only copy.
Methods
- Static route review for /kids and child subroutes.
- Browser network inspection for third-party calls on the kids experience.
- Manual desktop/mobile QA of play, read, watch, grow, and parent routes.
Reproduce This
- Open /kids in a clean browser profile.
- Inspect network requests while navigating /kids, /kids/play, /kids/read, /kids/watch, /kids/grow, and /kids/parents.
- Confirm play interactions do not require login, analytics consent, or upload.
Limitations
- A future media pipeline could change the network profile and must be re-audited.
- This preprint describes current behavior, not a permanent guarantee for all future routes.
