Privacy Policy

ChildSocial. ("we", "us", or "our") operates this website (the "Service") as an educational and social platform designed for children, parents, and teachers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information: name, date of birth, gender, country, mobile number, and email address provided during registration.
• Usage data: pages visited, features used, quiz/game results, and time spent, collected automatically via analytics tools.
• Device information: browser type, IP address, and general location for security and fraud prevention.
• Content you submit: posts, comments, messages, and other content shared within the platform.

2. Children's Privacy

We take children's privacy seriously and aim to comply with applicable laws such as COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and equivalent regulations. Where a user is a minor, we encourage parental/guardian involvement in account creation and recommend parents review this policy with their child. We do not knowingly collect more personal information from children than is necessary to provide the Service. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can remove it.

3. How We Use Information

• To create and manage user accounts and provide the Service.
• To personalize content, learning activities, and recommendations.
• To maintain safety, detect abuse, and moderate content.
• To communicate important updates, security alerts, or respond to support requests.
• To display relevant advertisements through third-party ad providers, such as Google AdSense.

4. Cookies & Advertising

We and our third-party partners (including Google) use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure performance, and improve the Service. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. See our Cookie Policy for details.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers (hosting, analytics, payment processing) strictly to operate the Service, and with authorities when required by law.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
