We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for processing data about children under 13.

How We Obtain Parental Consent:

Before collecting or using information about children, we require parents to:

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information or display advertisements. Data may be shared under the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We use third-party providers (e.g., the AI platform Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and APIs such as Twilio) to process chat content and deliver our services. We use Google Perspective API and manual review to review messages that have been reported as objectionable. These providers are contractually obligated to safeguard your data.

We may disclose data when required by law or to respond to valid legal requests.

7. Data Security

We implement strong security measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Strict access controls and regular security audits.

While we strive to secure your data, no system is entirely foolproof. Please use the App responsibly.
