Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how the KidShield child app processes information on a parent-managed child device to provide screen-time, challenge and safety features.
Last updated: July 23, 2026
Information the Child App Processes
- Device identifiers and account identifiers required to link the device to a family account.
- App-usage and foreground-app information needed to apply screen-time rules and app blocking.
- Camera images or challenge submission media when the child completes challenges that require photos or workout detection.
- Questions, answers, and short explanations entered for a parent-enabled AI-checked challenge.
- Challenge, credits, redemptions, and protection-status information needed to operate the reward and monitoring features.
- Technical service data such as messaging tokens and integrity signals used to keep the service working securely.
How the Child App Uses Information
- To enforce parent-configured screen-time limits and blocked-app rules.
- To show challenges, collect challenge submissions, and update credits and unlocked screen time.
- To report child-device status and alerts to the linked parent account.
- To maintain service reliability, safety features, and backend security protections.
How Information Is Shared
Information from the child app is shared with the linked family account so parents can manage the device, review challenges, and receive protection alerts. Infrastructure providers such as Firebase services are used to operate the product.
If a parent turns on AI checking for a challenge, the work needed to check that challenge may be processed by Google’s Gemini API. Children are told not to include names, faces, school details, addresses, or other identifying information. Unclear or unsafe-to-grade work is sent to the parent for review instead of being automatically approved.
Accessibility and Usage Access
The child app uses Accessibility and Usage Access only for parental-control functions such as identifying the active app, enforcing time limits, and restoring monitoring. These capabilities are not used for unrelated automation or advertising purposes.
Data Retention and Security
Information is retained as needed to operate the family account, maintain challenge and safety records, and support service integrity. Reasonable technical safeguards are used, including authenticated backend access and app integrity protections.
