👨👩👧 IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
Adoptameaw is a family game designed for all ages. We comply with U.S. COPPA (as amended 2025, effective June 23, 2025), GDPR Article 8, and all applicable children's privacy laws worldwide.
7.1 What We Do Not Collect from Children
The App is designed to function WITHOUT collecting any personal information from any user, including children. We do not collect: full name, username, email, phone number, address, date of birth, photographs, video, audio, geolocation, persistent identifiers, or biometric data.
7.2 Game Data Stored on Device
Only game progress and settings are stored — locally on the device, not transmitted to us or any third party, and not associated with any personal identifier.
7.3 No Behavioral Advertising to Children
We display no behavioral advertising. We do not share children's data with any advertising network or data broker, consistent with COPPA 2025's separate parental consent requirement for third-party disclosures.
7.4 Parental Rights (COPPA)
Parents and guardians may: (1) review personal information we hold about their child; (2) request deletion; (3) refuse further collection; (4) consent to collection without consenting to third-party disclosure. Contact: privacy@[yourdomain].com. We respond within 30 days.
7.5 GDPR Article 8 (EEA / UK Children)
Since our App collects no personal data from any user, we do not rely on children's consent as a legal basis. If future features require such data, verified parental consent will be obtained before collection.
7.6 Google Play Families Policy
This App complies with Google Play's Families Policy: no inappropriate ads, no sensitive personal information from children, no external links without appropriate safeguards.
