This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when you use the SafeKids Parental Guide mobile application (“App”).

1. Purpose of the Application
SafeKids Parental Guide is a child-monitoring application designed exclusively for parents or legal guardians to monitor their own children.
The App is not a surveillance or spying tool.
All monitoring features require explicit parental consent and user awareness, and the App always displays a persistent notification when monitoring is active.

2.1 Account Information
- Parent email address (used for authentication and account management)
- Child profile identifiers created by the parent

Location data is collected only when the parent explicitly enables location sharing for a child profile.
2.3 Device & Usage Data
- Device model, OS version
- App usage events (for stability and debugging)
- Battery status of the child device (if enabled)
- Screen Time and App Usage Data:
- The application collects screen time information, including which applications are used on the child’s device and the duration of use for each application.
- This data is collected using Android Usage Access permission and is used solely to provide parental monitoring and usage insights to the parent account.
- Screen time data is collected only when the parent explicitly enables this feature.
2.4 Messages & Communication
- Messages exchanged within the app only
- No SMS, call logs, or third-party messaging apps are accessed

4. Background Location & Transparency
SafeKids uses background location only to provide real-time tracking when:
- A child profile is active
- The parent has enabled location sharing
- The child device grants the required permissions
- Background location access is used exclusively to support the core functionality of child safety and parental monitoring.
- Location data is never used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose unrelated to child safety.
A persistent foreground notification is always displayed while location tracking is active.
5. Legal Basis & Consent
- Parents explicitly grant consent during setup
- Children are monitored only under parental control
