Welcome to Kiddometer! We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your information.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices for the website Kiddometer.com (the “Service”). By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
To provide and improve our Service, we collect information in a few different ways.
A. Information You Provide to Us Directly
- Account & Subscription Data: When you register for an account or sign up for a paid subscription, we collect information such as your name, email address, and billing information.
- Payment Information: To process your subscription payments, we require payment details like your credit card information. This information is provided directly to our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers.
- Comments and Content: When you leave comments, we collect the content of your comment, your name, email, and IP address to prevent spam and facilitate discussion.
- Communications: If you contact us directly via email, we will collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
B. Information We Collect Automatically
- Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically log information about your visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages you viewed, and the dates/times of your visit. We use this to analyze trends, administer the site, and ensure the Service is working correctly.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies (small files stored on your device) to help our site function. For example, cookies keep you logged in and remember your preferences. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, but some parts of our Service may not function without them.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for several key purposes:
- To Provide and Manage the Service: To set up your account, grant you access to our AI Guides, and maintain the website.
- To Process Payments: To bill you for your monthly or annual subscription through our payment processor.
- To Communicate With You: To send you service-related updates, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support.
- To Improve Our Service: To understand how our users interact with the site and our AI tools, allowing us to enhance the user experience and develop new features.
- For Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect our Service, detect spam, and prevent fraudulent activity.
3. AI Guide Data Privacy
Your privacy when using our AI tools is a top priority.
- Query Handling: The prompts and information you submit to generate AI Guides are used solely to create that specific guide for you.
- No Model Training: We do not use your prompts or the guides generated for you to train our AI models.
- Data Minimization: We may temporarily log queries for security and troubleshooting purposes, but we anonymize or delete this data on a regular basis. We do not link your AI queries to your personal account information for long-term storage.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share it in the following limited circumstances:
- With Service Providers: We share information with third-party companies that help us operate our business, such as our payment processor (Stripe). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a public authority (e.g., a court or government agency).
- To Protect Our Rights: We may share information to enforce our Terms of Service, protect the security of our Service, and defend against legal claims.
- Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred.
5. Data Security and Retention
- Security: We use reasonable physical and electronic security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
- Retention: We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We will retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to manage our community discussions. We may also retain data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations or resolve disputes.
