At Kidgeni Inc. (“Kidgeni,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to creating a safe and secure online environment for families of all ages. This privacy policy applies to our mobile application (the “App”), our website (www.kidgeni.com, the “Website”), and any other interactions you have with us (e.g., by phone, email, or in person). This policy outlines how we handle personal information related to identifiable individuals, and does not apply to anonymous or business data.
This policy applies globally, but specific sections for residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and California are provided below.
By using our App, Website, or sharing information with us, you consent to the information-handling practices outlined in this policy.

What We Do Not Collect:

• Biometric or health data;
  
• Personal information about your child through our App, unless you, as their parent or guardian, voluntarily provide it to us (e.g., via email).
  

For details on how you can control access to and manage your child’s information, please see the “Parental Access and Control” section below.

Information We Collect and Use From the App
We collect personal and usage information when a parent or guardian (“you”) downloads and uses the App. We generally do not ask for personal information about your child during sign-up or App use, and we will never require it.

Information You Provide Us
When you subscribe to services through the App, the app store (Apple, Google, Amazon) may share your information with us if you’ve consented. We may also collect additional information if you contact us for support, send us an email, complete a survey, or communicate with us in other ways.

Art Generations, Story Creations, and Book Creations
As part of the creative process in the Kidgeni App, your child may generate art, stories, or books. These creations are temporarily stored on your device and on our servers while you are actively using them. We cannot identify your child based on these creations, and we do not use this content for any purpose other than helping you manage and share it.

• Art Generations: When your child generates artwork within the App, it is temporarily saved on your device and can be shared if you choose. We do not access this artwork unless it’s shared for technical support or similar purposes.
  
• Story Creations: Stories created by your child are similarly stored on your device and temporarily on our servers. We do not have access to these stories unless you decide to share them.
  
• Book Creations: Books created using the App are handled the same way. They are saved locally and temporarily on our servers if you choose to share them.
  
• Drawings: Drawings made by your child using the Kidgeni scribble feature are handled the same way. They are saved locally and temporarily on our servers if you choose to share them.
  

At no point do we collect personal information related to these creations or use them for purposes other than to facilitate sharing and app functionality.

Payments
Subscription payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not collect or handle your payment information. The only data we receive is a unique Subscriber ID generated by the app stores.
You can review the privacy policies of these app stores or contact them directly for more details on how they handle your payment information. For reference, you can view Stripe’s privacy information here.

Device Data
We may collect data about your device (e.g., hardware model, operating system version, preferred language, unique identifiers). This data is used solely for internal operations and to personalize your experience in the App.

Anonymous Usage Data
We collect anonymous usage data, such as the duration of activities and any technical issues or bugs encountered. This helps us understand how the App is used and improve it over time. We do not attempt to identify specific users through this data.

Other Information We Collect and Use
We may collect personal information when you contact us, visit our Website, or engage with us on social media. This may include information you voluntarily provide, such as in emails or social media posts.

We use this information to:

• Communicate with you and provide updates on Kidgeni;
  
• Identify and authenticate users;
  
• Respond to information requests or feedback;
  
• Enable participation in promotions or surveys;
  
• Understand how users interact with our products for data analysis and product development;
  
• Manage our daily business operations; and
  
• Comply with legal requirements or defend our legal rights.
  

Job Applications
If you submit a job application, we will use the provided information (e.g., employment history) to assess your suitability. We may also collect information from third parties, such as listed references.

How and When We Share Your Information
We do not sell or lease your personal information. We may share your information under three circumstances:

• With Affiliates and Service Providers: We may share your information with affiliates or partners that help us provide services, or for internal business purposes. We do not share your child’s personal information unless it’s necessary to fulfill the purpose for which you provided it (e.g., responding to an email where you mentioned your child).
  
• For Legal Reasons: We may share information if required by law, legal process, or to protect our users’ safety.
  
• For Business Reasons: If Kidgeni is involved in a business transaction (e.g., sale or corporate reorganization), we may share relevant information.
  

Parental Access and Control
As a parent, you have control over the information you share with us. This includes managing data, subscriptions, and opting into updates for parents and educators. You can access these settings via the Parental Area in the Kidgeni website.

Data Security
We protect your information by limiting access to authorized personnel only and employing reasonable physical, organizational, and technological safeguards.

Data Retention
We only retain your information as long as it is necessary for operational or legal purposes. After that, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you (and, if applicable, your child). You can also request corrections if the information is inaccurate or outdated. To do so, contact us at hello@kidgeni.com or via the mailing address below.
