Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Kindly Club ("we", "our", "us") is the publisher of the Kindly Club mobile application. Questions about this policy can be directed to hello@kindlyclub.app.

2. Information We Collect

We are committed to collecting the minimum information necessary to run the app.

• Local nickname only. Children may enter a display name (e.g. "Lily" or "Superhero Sam"). This nickname is stored exclusively on the device and is never transmitted to our servers.
• App progress. Stars earned, scenarios completed, and streaks are stored locally on the device only.
• Parent email (optional). Parents who sign up for our waitlist or digest provide their own email address. This is never linked to any child data.

We do not collect: real names, birth dates, photos, videos, voice recordings, contacts, precise location, IP addresses, device identifiers tied to a child, or any biometric data.

3. No Camera, Microphone, or Contacts Access

The Kindly Club app does not request and will never request access to your device's camera, microphone, or contacts. All interactions are tap-based.

4. No Advertising or Third-Party Tracking

There are no advertisements of any kind in Kindly Club. We do not use any third-party advertising SDKs, analytics trackers, or behavioural profiling tools. App performance monitoring, if any, uses on-device-only diagnostics that do not transmit personal data.

5. No Chat or User-Generated Content

Kindly Club contains no chat rooms, message boards, open-text fields visible to other users, or any social networking features. Children cannot communicate with other users or strangers through the app.

6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

7. Local-Only Data Storage

All child-facing data (nickname, progress, earned rewards) is stored exclusively on the device using the operating system's local secure storage. Uninstalling the app removes all this data. We have no server-side record of it.

8. In-App Purchases

Premium subscriptions are processed entirely through Apple App Store or Google Play. Kindly Club never sees your payment information. Billing records are governed by Apple's or Google's respective privacy policies.

9. Security

We apply industry-standard security practices to any data we do hold (parent email addresses for the digest). Our app uses HTTPS for all network communication. We regularly review our data practices and update them as standards evolve.

10. Data Retention

Parent email addresses submitted to our waitlist are retained until unsubscription or deletion request. Local device data is retained until the app is uninstalled. We do not retain child data on our servers because we never receive it.

11. Your Rights

Parents and guardians may at any time:

• Request confirmation of what data (if any) we hold related to their family.
• Request deletion of parent email records.
• Opt out of any future communications.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@kindlyclub.app.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with an updated effective date. For material changes affecting children's data, we will notify parents via the email address on file (if provided) at least 30 days before the change takes effect.
