Children’s privacy

We do not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children through the App.

If we learn that personal information from a child was unintentionally submitted to us, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or legal guardian may contact us to ask whether information concerning their child was submitted and request its deletion.

​

Advertising and tracking

Gestalty & Friends does not display third-party advertisements.

We do not use children’s information for targeted advertising, behavioral advertising, marketing profiles, or tracking across other apps or websites.

The App does not access or transmit advertising identifiers.

​

Artificial intelligence

Gestalty & Friends does not use generative artificial intelligence to communicate with children, create individualized responses, or collect children’s personal information during App use.

Creative or technology-assisted tools, including artificial-intelligence tools, may have been used during the design or production process. These production tools do not interact directly with children through the released App and do not receive children’s personal information during App use.

​

Analytics and third-party services

The current version of Gestalty & Friends does not use third-party advertising, behavioral analytics, or tracking services.

Third-party technology may be used only when necessary to operate and distribute the App. Before release, we review the services included in the production version and update this Privacy Policy and our app-store disclosures when required.
