Kinzoo Privacy Policy

Last revised: August 1, 2018

Welcome to Kinzoo. Kinzoo is a private video sharing app for children under the age of 13 (the “App”) that is operated by Kinzoo Technologies, Inc. (“Kinzoo,” “we,” or “us”). All references to the term "you" or "parent" in this Privacy Policy shall include legal guardians, and all references to "children" or "child" shall mean children under 13 years of age.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and disclosed by Kinzoo, in connection with your or your child’s use of the App or the Kinzoo website (together the “Kinzoo Service”). Use of the App involves the collection of personal information from children, and we obtain parental consent to do so in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). To learn more about COPPA, you may consult this simple one-page informational guide from the kidSAFE Seal Program – www.kidsafeseal.com/knowaboutcoppa.html. By creating a parent account, you are certifying that you are the parent of that child and authorized to provide such consent.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy, and in some cases (such as for material changes), we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our web site’s homepage or sending you a notification) and obtain your prior verifiable consent (where required by COPPA).
