Registration Information: When adults sign up for the app, we may collect information such as their name, email address, age and password. This is used to allow users to login to their account, verify the user's age and account ownership, and to facilitate communications between KINDER Messenger and the user.
Profile Information: User profile information is provided by the user (Name, Profile Picture, Username) and is shown to their friends so that friends can know who they are communicating with. Parents have the option to create a profile for their child, which may include the child's name, age, profile picture, and other optional details. The child's profile information is only shared with contacts approved by the parent.
Location Information: Parents have the ability to enable an optional location tracking feature for their child. When the parent enables this feature, the child can elect to have their precise location tracked and shared with their parents while using the app or at all times.
Users can invite and connect with other users via the app. The list of pending invitations created by a user is stored in order to ensure that invitations are only used once. The list of friends (contacts) with whom the user has connected are stored for the purpose of providing the service and ensuring that users only communicate with approved contacts. Adults manage and approve the friends that their child is allowed to communicate with through the app. Children can only communicate with the list of friends approved by their parent. Parents have the ability to access and manage their children's list of friends (contacts) in order to monitor and safeguard their children's conversations.
We may collect and store messages including text, photos, images, stickers, reactions, videos, and other content exchanged between users within the app. Images may include content provided via the user's Camera or Camera Roll features, for example when sending a photograph to a friend (contact).
