This Privacy Policy explains how the Dancify App ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information, particularly for users, including children under 13, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users and ensuring a safe digital experience for children.
We may collect the following types of personal information when you or your child use the Dancify App:
Parent/Guardian Information: Email address provided by a parent or guardian for account creation or parental consent purposes (e.g., [email protected] for contact or verification).
Child Information: Limited information, such as a username (we encourage non-personal usernames), age, or device usage data, only collected with verifiable parental consent.
Device and Usage Data: We may collect non-personal information such as device type, operating system, IP address, and app usage statistics (e.g., time spent using the app, features accessed) to improve app functionality.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: If applicable, we use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience. These do not collect personal information from children without parental consent.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child without consent, we will delete it promptly.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
App Functionality: To provide and maintain the app’s screen time control and parental monitoring features.
Parental Consent and Communication: To contact parents or guardians for consent verification or to provide updates about their child’s app usage.
Improvement and Analytics: To analyze app performance and improve user experience.
Compliance: To comply with legal obligations, such as COPPA and GDPR requirements.
We do not use personal information for marketing purposes unless a parent expressly opts in to receive such communications.
Under COPPA, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. We collect a parent’s email address (e.g., [email protected]) to:
Send a consent request for collecting or processing a child’s data.
Notify parents about their child’s activities within the app, if applicable.
Parents may revoke consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. If consent is revoked, we will cease collecting and delete any personal information collected from the child.
We do not share personal information with third parties except in the following cases:
Service Providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist with app functionality (e.g., hosting, analytics), but only under strict confidentiality agreements and in compliance with COPPA and GDPR.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, user information may be transferred, but we will ensure continued compliance with this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or share children’s personal information for marketing purposes.
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., under GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act - CCPA), you may have the following rights:
Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about you or your child.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information.
Deletion: Request deletion of personal information.
Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Opt-Out: Opt out of data sharing or processing (where applicable).
Lodge a Complaint: Contact a data protection authority if you have concerns about our data practices.
To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days (or up to 90 days if additional time is needed, with an explanation provided). No fees will be charged for up to two requests per year.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. For example:
Parental email addresses are retained for the duration of account activity or until consent is revoked.
Usage data is retained in anonymized form for analytics purposes.
If you are located outside the United States, please note that data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to comply with GDPR and other applicable laws.
If the Dancify App integrates third-party services (e.g., analytics or authentication services), we ensure they comply with COPPA and GDPR. We will disclose such services in this Privacy Policy and obtain parental consent if they process personal information from children.
The Dancify App is designed to be safe for children, with strict adherence to COPPA. We encourage parents to:
Review this Privacy Policy and discuss it with their children.
Avoid allowing children to enter personal information in open-text fields (e.g., usernames).
Contact us at [email protected] if they believe their child has provided personal information without consent.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify users of significant changes via email (e.g., to [email protected]) or through the app. The updated policy will be effective as of the “Last Updated” date above.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at:
Email: [email protected]
Response Time: We aim to respond within 45 days, as required by applicable laws.
For concerns unresolved after contacting us, parents may reach out to PRIVO, a COPPA Safe Harbor Certification Program, at [email protected], if applicable.
This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with COPPA, GDPR, CCPA, and app store requirements (e.g., Google Play, Apple App Store). For further guidance, consult a legal professional to ensure compliance with your specific circumstances.
