This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information through our app, Wisdom For Kids, and its associated subdomains (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

Definitions and Key Terms

To clarify terms used in this Privacy Policy, we provide the following definitions:

• App/Application: Refers to the Wisdom For Kids app, designed for children under 13 with parental guidance.
• Company: Refers to Theos Lumen Ltd, based in Lagos, Nigeria, responsible for managing your data with a focus on child privacy.

What Information Do We Collect?

We minimize data collection and primarily collect the following types of information to provide essential app functionalities:

1. Information You Provide (Parents/Guardians):
   • Name or Username (for account creation - parent/guardian accounts only)
   • Email Address (for account creation & communication - parent/guardian accounts only)
2. Information We Collect Automatically (Minimized Collection):
   • Product Interaction Data: Such as app launches, feature usage, session duration, and in-app clicks to improve app functionality and user experience.
   • Crash Data: Crash logs to identify and fix app issues.

How Do We Use Your Information?

The limited information we collect is used solely for the following essential purposes:

1. Product Personalization: To customize content and features within the app to improve user experience and engagement in educational activities.
2. App Functionality: To provide core app features, ensure proper operation, and maintain a functional app experience.
3. Customer Support: To respond to parental inquiries and resolve any app-related issues reported by parents or guardians.
4. Educational Goals: To provide insights into user progress and achievements in learning activities to enhance the educational value of the app.

Limited Data Sharing for Essential Services

To operate and provide essential functionalities of Wisdom For Kids, we share data with the following limited third-party service providers:

1. RevenueCat (for In-App Purchases): If you choose to make in-app purchases for premium features (parental action), we use RevenueCat to process payments and manage subscriptions. RevenueCat may collect payment information to facilitate these transactions. We do not store credit card details. You can view RevenueCat's privacy policy here: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/
2. OpenAI (for Parent-Gated AI Chat Support - Backend API Calls): We use OpenAI's API to power our optional, parent-gated AI chat support feature. Critically, all communication with the OpenAI API is conducted through our secure backend servers hosted on AWS. The app itself does not directly communicate with OpenAI. When parents utilize this feature, their chat interactions are processed through our backend, which then makes secure API calls to OpenAI. We do not share any personally identifiable information of children with OpenAI. You can view OpenAI's privacy policy here: https://openai.com/privacy/

We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or other external parties. We are committed to keeping any data sharing to a minimum and only for essential services that enhance the app's functionality and parental support.

Children's Privacy - Our Commitment

Wisdom For Kids is designed with children's privacy as a top priority. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar international regulations regarding children's data privacy. This app is intended for use by children under the age of 13, under parental guidance.

We have designed Wisdom For Kids to minimize the collection of personal information from children directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The limited data we collect is used solely for essential app functionalities as described in this policy and is not used for marketing or advertising purposes. We strive to create a safe and privacy-respecting environment for young learners.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at proverbsapp@theoslumen.com. We will take steps to promptly delete such information.

Data and Tracking Technologies

We use local storage and similar technologies within the app to enable functionality such as:

• Keeping you signed in
• Enhancing app performance
• Storing your preferences

You can manage these settings through your device's privacy or app settings; however, disabling these features may affect the app's functionality.

Data Security Measures

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We implement industry-standard security measures, including strong encryption (both in transit and at rest), secure server infrastructure, and access controls, to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. While we strive to maintain robust security, no system is completely impenetrable. We encourage you to use strong passwords and report any suspicious activity to us immediately.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, parents and guardians may have the following rights regarding their account data:

1. Access and Portability: Request a copy of your account data.
2. Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete account information.
3. Deletion: Request the deletion of your account and associated data.
4. Opt-Out: Choose to stop receiving essential account-related communications (note: we minimize promotional communications, especially to parents of children).

To exercise these rights, contact us at proverbsapp@theoslumen.com.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in locations outside your country of residence. By using the app, you consent to the transfer of data to these locations, subject to applicable laws and with a commitment to data security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services, data practices, or legal requirements. We will notify parents/guardians of significant changes, especially those affecting children's privacy. Continued use of the app after updates signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
