Privacy Policy

Note on Parental Access to Data

We do not collect personal information from users. We only gather anonymous technical data such as crash reports and feature usage counts that cannot be linked back to individuals. COPPA grants parents rights to access or delete personal information, but because none is collected, there's nothing applicable under those rights.

If you have concerns or believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us at suppeyes@gmail.com.

Important about third-party SDKs: We use Google AdMob and Firebase only for non-personalized ads and aggregate analytics.

4. Information Sharing

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our app (e.g., analytics providers, advertising networks)
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Withdraw consent for data processing

8. Third-Party Services

Our app may integrate with third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For app usage analytics and performance monitoring
• Google AdMob: For displaying advertisements
• Firebase: For app analytics and crash reporting
• All third-party services (e.g., ads, analytics) used in the app comply with child-directed privacy laws and provide only non-personalized ads.

All third-party services are configured for child-directed treatment when applicable and are required to serve only non-personalized, contextual ads. Interest-based advertising and remarketing are disabled for child users.

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

9. Children's Privacy

• Our app is designed to be suitable for users of all ages, including children as young as 3, in accordance with the Google Play age rating.
• We do not knowingly collect any personal information (such as name, email, phone number, or location) from children.
• We do not collect Android Advertising ID, IMEI, precise location, or other device identifiers from children.
• We retain children's data only as long as needed for app functionality and then delete it securely.
• The app may collect anonymous technical data such as device type, app version, crash reports, and basic usage statistics.
• This data is used only to improve the app’s performance and user experience and cannot be used to identify individual users.
• If advertising is displayed in the app, it is provided through non-personalized ads that do not track or profile users.
• Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise their child’s use of the app.
• If you believe your child has provided personal information to us by mistake, please contact us at suppeyes@gmail.com , and we will promptly delete it.
• We do not transmit Android Advertising ID or other device identifiers for children where prohibited by Google Play Families policy. For mixed-audience scenarios, ad requests for children or users of unknown age are tagged as child-directed to disable interest-based ads.
• Because we do not collect personal information from children and only process anonymous technical signals, there is no personal data available for parental access or review. If you believe personal information was provided accidentally, contact us at suppeyes@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with this policy.
