Privacy Policy — Parent Awareness

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Parent Awareness ("we", "our", "the App") is an educational reference application built for parents and guardians. We respect your privacy. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how to control it.

1. Information we collect

Account information you give us (only if you create an account): - Email address - Encrypted password (we never see your plaintext password) - An optional display name - An optional child's age range (used only to tailor conversation starters)

Information generated automatically by your device: - A randomly-generated device ID, stored locally on your device, used to remember your saved/favorite terms and your tip-of-the-day rotation. This ID cannot be used to identify you personally. - Standard server logs (IP address, request timestamp, app version) kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse-prevention purposes.

Information you voluntarily submit: - Slang term suggestions submitted via the in-app Contribute form. - Photos you choose to attach to those submissions. - AI-decoder queries (the text you ask the AI to decode).

2. Information we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your location.
• We do not collect your contacts or phone book.
• We do not access your camera or photo library until you explicitly tap the Camera or Library button inside the Contribute screen.
• We do not sell or rent any data to third parties.
• We do not use advertising SDKs or analytics SDKs that profile you.
• We do not intentionally collect data from children under 13. Parent Awareness is a parent-facing reference tool.

3. How we use the information

• To provide and improve core functionality (saving favorites, syncing favorites if you sign in, etc.).
• To send AI-decoder queries to a third-party AI provider (see §4).
• To review and curate community-submitted slang for accuracy and safety.
• To respond to support emails.
• To detect abuse, brute-force login attempts, and spam.

4. Third-party services we use

We do not integrate Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, AppsFlyer, Branch, or any other ad/tracking SDK.

5. Data retention

• Account data is kept while your account exists. Delete your account anytime by emailing parentawareness2026@gmail.com — we will erase your record within 30 days.
• Anonymous device-level data (favorites, search history) lives only on your device unless you sign in.
• Server logs are auto-purged after 30 days.

6. Children's privacy

Parent Awareness is intended for adults (parents, guardians, educators). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, contact parentawareness2026@gmail.com and we will delete it.

7. Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, and more)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: - Access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. - Object to or restrict processing. - Withdraw consent at any time. - File a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email parentawareness2026@gmail.com.

8. Security

Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. We follow industry-standard practices and apply security patches promptly.

9. International users

If you use Parent Awareness outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the App you consent to such transfer.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app and the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use after a change means you accept the new policy.
