• I do not share any information with third parties
• Parents can review and delete all stored data at any time

Third-Party Services

Firebase Analytics

Firebase Analytics may automatically collect:

• Anonymous app usage data (such as screens viewed and interactions)
• Device information (device model, operating system version)
• Approximate location (country-level only)

This data does not include personally identifiable information such as name, email address, or precise location.
