Effective Date: [January 20th 2025]
At EnDesign (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we respect the privacy of children under the age of 13 and are committed to ensuring a safe and secure experience when using our applications. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the information when children use our app, which is specifically designed for children. We do not collect any personal information from children under 13, and we comply with the privacy laws of Ontario, Canada, as well as other applicable legal requirements, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
By using our app, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described below. If you are a parent or guardian, please review this policy with your child before allowing them to use the app.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Personal information includes, but is not limited to:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Mailing address
- Payment information
- Any other information that can be used to identify or contact a child
We do not ask children for any personal details in order to use the app. The app is designed to ensure privacy and does not require the input of any personal information from children.
2. Non-Personal Data and Analytics
While we do not collect personal information, we may collect non-personal information related to how the app is used. This may include:
- Device Information: Basic technical information about the device used to access the app, such as device model, operating system, and device identifiers (such as IDFA, which may be used for app analytics purposes).
- Usage Data: Non-personal data related to how children use the app, including the frequency of use, which features are accessed, and how long the app is used.
- Crash Data: Information related to app crashes or errors, which helps us improve the performance and functionality of the app.
This data is used only to improve the user experience, fix bugs, and ensure the app is functioning properly. It is not linked to any individual child and cannot be used to identify users.
3. No Third-Party Advertising
We do not allow third-party advertising within our app. This means that children will not be exposed to targeted advertisements, ensuring a safe and child-friendly environment free from commercial marketing.
4. In-App Purchases
The app does not include any in-app purchases. Children cannot make purchases, share any payment details, or access any payment systems within the app.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect any non-personal data that may be collected, such as device information and usage data. While we do not collect personal information, we still employ industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of any data associated with the use of the app.
6. Data Retention
Since we do not collect any personal information, we do not retain personal data. Any non-personal data (such as usage statistics or crash logs) is retained only as long as necessary to improve the app and resolve issues. The data is used solely for analytical and technical purposes and is not linked to individual users.
7. Parental Rights and Consent
As a parent or guardian, you have the following rights:
- Access: You can request access to any non-personal data that may be collected regarding your child’s use of the app (such as device data or usage information).
- Deletion: We do not collect personal information, so there is no personal data to delete. However, if you wish to stop the collection of non-personal data, you may disable analytics tracking on your device or through the app’s settings (if available).
- Revocation of Consent: If you no longer want your child to use the app, you may stop their access to the app at any time.
8. Compliance with Ontario Privacy Laws
We are committed to complying with the privacy laws in Ontario, Canada, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Since we do not collect personal information from children, our practices are designed to align with these laws and protect children’s privacy in all circumstances.
If we ever intend to collect any personal information from children, we will obtain verifiable parental consent in accordance with applicable Canadian laws, including PIPEDA and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal obligations, or the app’s functionality. If we make any significant changes, we will notify parents and guardians through the app or by email. Continued use of the app after such updates will be deemed as acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
