At Adventures Publishing House, we take the privacy of children seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect information in our mobile applications specifically designed for children under 13, available on the App Store and Google Play (the “Apps”). This policy complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other relevant laws. By using our Apps, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Our goal is to collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the Apps. We collect the following information:
Personal Information: We do not collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If parental consent is provided, we may collect limited personal information such as a username, or an email address of a parent or guardian for notification purposes.
Non-Personal Information: We may collect non-personal information such as device information, app usage data, IP address, and analytics data. This information is collected automatically and is used to improve the functionality of the Apps.
2. How We Use Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the Apps.
To allow users to interact with certain features within the Apps.
To communicate with parents or guardians if needed for app-related support.
To monitor and analyze usage trends to improve the user experience.
Note: We do not use collected information for advertising or marketing purposes targeted at children. Any advertising shown within the Apps is designed to be child-appropriate and compliant with privacy regulations.
3. Parental Consent
Before collecting any personal information from children under 13, we will seek verifiable parental consent. Parents or guardians can refuse to permit further collection of their child’s information and can request the deletion of any information already collected by contacting us directly.
4. How We Protect Information
We take security seriously and use industry-standard security measures to protect children’s data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer children’s personal information to third parties, except in the following situations:
Service Providers: We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Apps. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are only authorized to use the information as necessary to provide their services.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to a legal process such as a court order or subpoena.
6. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide services or as required by law. Parents or guardians may request the deletion of their child’s information at any time by contacting us at info@adventurespublishinghouse.com.
7. Parental Rights
As a parent or guardian, you have the following rights concerning your child’s data:
Access: You can request to review the personal information we have collected about your child.
Deletion: You can request the deletion of your child’s personal information at any time by contacting us at info@adventurespublishinghouse.com.
Revoking Consent: You may revoke your consent for further collection or use of your child’s information at any time. This may affect certain features or services within the Apps.
8. Children’s Data Privacy and Advertising
We do not collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information for advertising or marketing purposes. If we do use advertisements within the Apps, they will be carefully selected to be child-appropriate and compliant with COPPA and other relevant laws.
