PERSONAL DATA
Personal Data is defined in this policy as information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.
During our registration, the only information we may ask you to provide about a child who will be using our services is the child’s first name (or nickname), birth month and year, and gender.
Because the security of your personal information is important to us, we only ask for Personal Data where it is reasonably necessary to provide our services. We may collect Personal Data only that parents voluntarily provide. We also use commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to safeguard all information collected by the Services.

We encourage parents to take an active role in their children’s activities and interests on their devices. When registering your child with our services, we may ask a series of general questions including your child’s age, interests, and gender. This information is used to customize content to your child’s age and interests. We do not use or disclose this information for any other purposes except to provide you with quality service. Any data that is shared is done so on an anonymous, aggregate basis among all users.
