Daniel's Diaries Privacy Policy

Applies to: Daniel's Diaries, operated by Foundational Minds ("Daniel's Diaries," "we," "us," or "our")

1. Scope

Account details (name, email address, password, authentication identifiers)
Billing and subscription details (plan, transaction metadata, payment status)
Communications (support requests, feedback, survey responses)

b. Child profile information (entered by a parent/guardian)

Child first name or nickname, age/date of birth, and progress/activity data within modules
Responses and reflection data used to personalize educational experiences

c. Automatically collected information

4. Legal Bases (Where Required)

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

Performance of a contract (providing the Service you requested)
Legitimate interests (security, product improvement, fraud prevention)
Consent (where obtained and required)
Legal obligations (tax, accounting, regulatory compliance, law enforcement requests)

5. Children's Privacy and Parental Control

We design the Service for parent-managed family use. A parent or legal guardian is expected to create and control child profiles and consent to data processing. Parents can request access, correction, or deletion of child profile information by contacting us.

We do not knowingly allow children to create unmanaged standalone accounts. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information:

With service providers that help operate the Service (hosting, payments, analytics, customer support, security)
With professional advisors (auditors, lawyers, insurers) when necessary
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets
To comply with law, enforce rights, or protect users and the public
With your consent or at your direction

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including account servicing, legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements, and safety/security monitoring. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirements.

8. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate transfer safeguards and protections.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have rights related to targeted advertising, sale/sharing definitions under local law, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
