## 1. Introduction
Evernest Labs ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of parents, guardians, and children who use our mobile application, **Tiny Mind: Kids Learning Games** (the "Application").
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with the Application. Because Tiny Mind is designed for children aged 0 to 5, we adhere strictly to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation for Children (GDPR-K), and Google Play's Families Policy requirements.
---
## 2. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
The protection of young children's privacy is our highest priority.
- **No Personal Data Collection from Children:** We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personally identifiable information (such as real name, physical address, email address, phone number, or precise geographic location) from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
- **No Account Registration for Children:** Tiny Mind does not require children to create an account or sign up to access learning games and mini-games.
- **Parental Controls:** Advanced features, settings, and feedback mechanisms are protected behind a Parental Gate (Parental PIN Protection) to ensure children cannot access external websites or modify app settings.
---
## 3. Information We Collect and How We Use It
### A. Non-Personal Information Stored Locally
To deliver a smooth learning experience, the Application stores non-personal preferences and game progress locally on your device:
- High scores, completed levels, and milestone progress.
- App settings (such as audio volume, lullaby preferences, and screen time limits).
- Custom Parental PIN configurations.
This data remains strictly on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
### B. Device and Diagnostics Information
We may automatically process non-identifiable technical data strictly necessary for application functionality, performance monitoring, and bug fixing:
- Device model, operating system version, and screen resolution.
- Application crash logs and error reports (aggregated and anonymized).
This data is used solely to maintain performance, stability, and compatibility across supported Android devices.
---
## 4. Third-Party Services and Advertising Policy
Tiny Mind complies fully with Google Play's Families Policy and AdMob Child-Directed Content guidelines.
### A. Contextual and Family-Safe Advertising
If advertisements are served within the Application:
- All ad requests are flagged as **Child-Directed (COPPA Compliant)** using Google AdMob family settings.
- We do not show interest-based, behavioral, or personalized advertising.
- We do not allow third-party tracking networks to profile children across websites or apps.
- Ads served are strictly non-personalized, contextual, and rated suitable for all ages.
### B. Third-Party Service Providers
The Application may utilize third-party SDKs for core functionality:
- **Google Play Services / AdMob:** For serving contextual, family-compliant ads and in-app analytics.
- **Firebase Crashlytics:** For anonymous crash reporting and performance diagnostics.
These service providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements and are prohibited from using data for any purpose other than providing services to Evernest Labs.
---
## 5. Data Retention and Security
We take appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard any local data stored by the Application. Since we do not maintain central databases of personal user records, your child's learning history and settings remain safely stored within your device's local memory.
You can delete all application data at any time by clearing the Application's storage in your Android system settings or by uninstalling the Application.
---
## 6. Parental Rights and Controls
Parents and legal guardians maintain full control over their child's interaction with the Application:
- **Review and Deletion:** Parents can clear all local app data through device settings at any time.
- **Inquiries:** If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at support@evernestlabs.com, and we will take prompt action to delete such information.
- **Screen Time Management:** Parents can configure built-in screen time limits via the Parental Dashboard.
---
## 7. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Notice
For California residents:
- We do not sell personal information of any users, including children under 16 years of age.
- We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Consumers have the right to request information regarding data practices or request deletion of any inadvertently collected personal data by contacting support@evernestlabs.com.
---
## 8. European Union & United Kingdom GDPR Notice
For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom:
- The legal basis for processing diagnostic and performance data is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional learning application.
- Users have rights to access, rectify, restrict processing, or request erasure of personal data (where applicable). Given that we do not store personal data on remote servers, exercising these rights primarily involves clearing local app data on the device.
---
## 9. External Links and Social Features
Tiny Mind does not contain open social media integration, public chat rooms, or unrestricted web browsing. Any links to external app store pages or support channels are strictly placed behind a Parental Gate requiring parental verification.
---
## 10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or application features. Any updates will be posted within the application or on our official website/listing with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage parents to review this policy periodically.
