Chronobit Studios Childrens Privacy Policy

Children’s Privacy Policy

Chronobit Studios, LLC. (“Chronobit,” “we,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your child’s privacy. This Children’s Privacy Policy explains to parents and guardians (“you”) how we collect, use, and share Personal Information from users of Chronobit’s downloadable applications (each an “App”) who identify themselves as under 13 years old (“children”). This Children’s Privacy Policy does not apply to users 13 year old or older; such users should refer to the Chronobit Privacy Policy.

Note To Parents

Chronobit is required under the Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), with limited exceptions, to obtain verifiable parental consent in order to collect, use, or disclose Personal Information (as defined below) from children. Many of our Apps are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. When our Apps request age information from your child and your child indicates that he/she is under 13 years old, the App will block your child from providing personal information, including through social networking features. Please note, that if your child indicates that he/she is under the age of 13, your child WILL NOT be blocked from using our Apps.

Information Your Child Provides

In general, we do not collect personal information, except in those instances under COPPA where personal information may be collected without verifiable parental consent.

Data Your Child Provides to Us

If your child provides us feedback or contacts us (for support, for example), we will collect the data included in the communication. We use this personal information to assist your child with his/her query or support request and then delete such information once we have fulfilled the child’s query or support request.

If your child participates in a contest, sweepstakes or other promotion, we will collect any data your child provides, we may use it for the purpose of the promotion, and then delete such data after the promotion, to the extent the deletion of such data is permissible by law.

Please note that we are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in a game, the offering of a prize, or another activity on the child’s disclosing more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

When your child use one of our Apps, some information is automatically collected. For example, we collect a unique identifier for the device on which you install an App (“DID”, which may be your child’s Apple Game Center ID (if you have signed up to Game Center and we have access to that ID)) and develop a profile about your child keyed to that DID.

Our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) also collect information from your child, including your child’s browser type, device type, operating system, application software, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), MAC address, Open Device Identification Number (ODIN), domain name, date/time stamps for your use of the App, and your child’s DID.

Our Apps may also allow your child to make “in-App” purchases. If your child makes an “in-App” purchase we will automatically collect information related to your child’s purchase, or may receive such information from the platform provider (e.g. Apple or Google), including the item purchased, the name of the game your child is playing, billing information and other information about your purchase.

Our Apps may also automatically receive age information, including date of birth, from the platform provider which is associated with your DID.

We may also automatically collect information related to the overall effectiveness of our advertising campaigns via our advertisements delivered on our web sites, apps and services (“Our Ads”).
