1. Introduction
SafeKid ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the SafeKid mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By using SafeKid, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our Services:
- Account Information: Email address and encrypted authentication credentials when you create a parent account.
- Child Information: First name or nickname, optional profile photo, and device identifier for the child's device.
- Location Data: Real-time location updates from the child's device, stored encrypted and accessible only to authorized family members.
- Trusted Places: Addresses or coordinates of user-defined safe zones (home, school, etc.).
- Device Information: Device type, OS version, and app version for troubleshooting and compatibility.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to:
- Provide real-time location sharing between family members
- Send safety alerts and check-in notifications
- Enable trusted place arrival and departure detection
- Maintain account security and prevent unauthorized access
- Improve app performance and fix technical issues
4. Data Security
All location data and sensitive information are encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL and at rest using industry-standard encryption. We implement strict access controls so that only members of your designated family group can view a child's location. We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention
Location history is retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted. Account and profile information is retained until you delete your account. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature in the app.
6. Children's Privacy
SafeKid is designed for use by parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The child's device shares location data only under the control of the parent account. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child without proper consent, please contact us immediately.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Export your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable
8. Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party providers for authentication, cloud infrastructure, and map services. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose of delivering services to us and are prohibited from using it for their own purposes.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes via the app or email. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
