Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the Kids Academy - Learn and Play application (the "App") for mobile devices, developed and published by FiFODALE (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED ("we," "us," or "our"). The App is provided as an ad-supported service with optional in-app purchases to remove advertisements.

Information We Collect

We designed Kids Academy with children's privacy in mind. Here's what you need to know:

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses from users
We do not collect precise geolocation data
We do not require user registration or account creation
We do not collect photos, videos, or audio recordings from users

Information That May Be Collected Automatically

The App uses third-party advertising services (Google AdMob) which may automatically collect:

Device identifiers (Advertising ID) for serving contextual, non-personalized advertisements
General device information (device type, operating system version) for app compatibility
App interaction data for ad frequency capping

Important: We have configured our advertising services to serve only child-appropriate, non-personalized advertisements in compliance with COPPA regulations.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

These services may collect information as described in their respective privacy policies. We have implemented settings to ensure child-safe advertising practices.

Advertising

Our app displays advertisements through Google AdMob. Here's what you need to know:

Child-Safe Advertising Practices

Parental Verification Required: A parental gate (math verification) must be passed before ANY advertisement is displayed. Children cannot view ads without parental consent, only in case of ios, no parental gate is used in case of android app
COPPA-Compliant Ads Only: We use Google AdMob's child-directed treatment setting, ensuring only COPPA-compliant advertisements are served.
Non-Personalized Ads: We do not serve behaviorally targeted or interest-based ads to users.
Age-Appropriate Content: Ad content rating is restricted to "G" (General Audiences). Google AdMob reviews ad creatives through both automated systems and human review to ensure appropriateness for children.
No Deceptive Ads: Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from app content.

Information Collected by Advertising Services

Google AdMob may automatically collect:

Device advertising identifier (for ad frequency capping only)
General device information (device type, OS version)
App interaction data (for limiting ad repetition)

This data is NOT used for personalized advertising or user tracking. For more information, see Google AdMob's Child-Directed Treatment policy.

Opting Out of Ads

Parents can remove all advertisements by subscribing to our ad-free plan, which is protected by parental verification.

In-App Purchases

The App offers optional subscription purchases to remove advertisements. These purchases are processed entirely through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not directly collect or store any payment information. All transactions are subject to the respective store's privacy policy and parental controls.

A parental verification gate is implemented before any purchase can be made to prevent unauthorized transactions by children.
