Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 27, 2024
Introduction
Welcome to KidsTube Guard (the “App”). Protecting your privacy is a priority for us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our App. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The App collects the following types of information:
Child’s YouTube Watch History: This information is retrieved using the child’s YouTube account to allow you to browse the watch history directly within the App.
User-Authorized Session Data: The App requires you to log in with the child’s YouTube account to enable access to the watch history. Instead of collecting credentials, the App collects session data, such as tokens or cookies, which are stored securely on the device and are transmitted only to Google services using encrypted protocols. No third parties, including the App's backend, are involved.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:
Providing access to your child’s YouTube watch history directly within the App.
Allowing you to block specific videos or channels directly within the App.
3. Information Sharing
We do not share your credentials, child’s YouTube watch history, or any private information with any third parties. All data is processed locally on your device.
4. Data Security
We implement robust security measures to ensure that your data is protected. Sensitive data, such as session tokens or cookies, are stored securely on the device and transmitted only to Google services using encrypted protocols. No third parties, including the App's backend, are involved.
5. Your Choices
You can control how the App operates by:
Deleting the added account from the app at any time, which also deletes the associated credentials.
Managing your child’s watch history and blocking videos or channels directly within the App.
6. Third-Party Services
The App uses the YouTube APIs to provide its functionality. By using the App, you also agree to comply with Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
7. Children’s Privacy
The App is designed for use by parents to manage their children’s YouTube activity. It is not intended for direct use by children under 13 years of age.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will notify you by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed.
