URSOR Limited (“URSOR”, “we”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our sites and applications. This Child Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains our information collection, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to information provided online by children (under the age of 13 in the US, or as determined by applicable local law) (each a “child” or “children”) and other users of the Services (defined below). This Policy applies to any SafeTube websites (the “Sites”), together with SafeTube Applications (the “Applications”) and any other services provided by URSOR (“Services”), and outlines our practices regarding children and family information. For more information about URSOR Limited general privacy practices, please review our main Privacy Policy, which controls over subjects not explicitly dealt with herein. For more information about the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and general tips about protecting children’s online privacy, please visit the FTC’s website.
What do we collect on children and how do we communicate this?
When we collect information from a child online through the Sites and Applications, we will keep that information for the purpose of providing the child access to the service. In the event we believe we have collected data on a child unlawfully, we will either delete the data immediately or request permission from the parent or legal guardian. We collect only the information required to provide the service to the child. The data we collect is:
Account and profile information
A parent or guardian may create a SafeTube account and set up child profiles. During registration, the adult account holder may be asked for an email address, name, and password. A child profile may include a display name, age or age range, interests, an avatar, and settings selected by the adult. Children cannot independently activate or manage the adult account. Parents and legal guardians are responsible for creating and managing child profiles. We collect only the information reasonably necessary to provide the Service, apply age-appropriate settings, and give adults control over each child’s experience. To remove a child profile or request deletion of its information, visit our App Data Deletion page or contact hello@astrosafe.co.
Viewing activity and saved content
SafeTube does not provide public comments, posting, or direct messaging for children. Information created while using the Service may include searches, viewing history, saved videos, favourites, learning activity, and preferences. This information is associated with the family account and is not made public.
Collecting Information Automatically
To operate and improve our website and platforms we use tracking. The methods we use to automatically collect information on the Site are described in our main Privacy Policy.
How is information shared?
A child profile and its activity are not publicly visible. The adult account holder can review and manage the child profile. We may share limited information with service providers only when needed to operate, secure, and support SafeTube, as described below.
Parental consent and control
A parent or legal guardian creates and manages child profiles and provides any consent required for the collection and use of a child’s information. Parents and guardians may review, correct, download, or request deletion of a child’s information by contacting us at hello@astrosafe.co.
How We Use Your Child’s Information
We may use the child’s information to:
- operate and improve our Services;
- provide the services you or your child request;
- improve the quality of our Services;
- understand you and your child’s preferences to enhance your experience of our Services;
- protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent or illegal activity
We do not:
- permit behavioral targeting of advertisements towards children on the Services;
- sell any child’s information collected by the Services;
- create or keep child profiles for purposes unrelated to providing SafeTube.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may share limited information with service providers that help us host, authenticate, analyse, secure, and deliver SafeTube. These providers may process information only for the services they supply to us and are required to protect it. We do not sell children’s personal information and do not permit behavioural advertising directed at children. We may also disclose information when permitted or required by law, to protect the safety and security of users or the Service, or in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, provided the recipient continues to uphold this Policy.
Parental Choices and Controls
At any time, a verified parent can request to see the information on a child. We will also at the request of the parent delete any data, amend incorrect data, and download their data, this can be done by emailing hello@astrosafe.co.
Data Retention and Data minimalism
URSOR Limited practices data minimalism. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.
In addition to the retention policy above that applies to all users, we only keep a child’s personal information as long as necessary to deliver services or to deliver the SafeTube Service, unless we are required by law to retain it.
Encryption, Retention, and Security
We use TLS to encrypt data in transit between your device and the Application servers. Data is encrypted at rest. We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. Authentication is used to ensure confidentiality and to only provide access to specific data to authorized parties. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at: hello@astrosafe.co.
Changes to this Policy; Notice
We may amend this Policy at any time by posting the amended version to the Site or by providing such notice or obtaining consent to changes as may be required by applicable law. For material changes in this Policy, we will email the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any) and/or prominently post notice of the changes on our Sites and Applications. Your continued use of the Services constitutes implied consent to such amended Policy.
