Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

KodeBytes ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our app. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through the KodeBytes mobile application (the "App").

KodeBytes is designed for children aged 7-13 and we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code).

Information We Collect

✓ We Do NOT Collect:

  • • Personal information (names, email addresses, phone numbers)
  • • Location data
  • • Photos, videos, or audio
  • • Contact lists or address books
  • • Browsing history or search queries
  • • Device identifiers for advertising purposes
  • • Any information from third-party services

What We Store Locally:

The following information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:

  • • Game progress (completed levels, stars earned)
  • • App preferences and settings
  • • Subscription status (managed by Apple)

Subscriptions & Payments

KodeBytes offers optional premium subscriptions. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information. Apple's privacy policy governs the handling of payment data.

Subscription purchases require a parent or guardian's Apple ID password or biometric authentication, ensuring children cannot make purchases without parental consent.

Third-Party Services

KodeBytes does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not share any data with third parties.

The only third-party service used is Apple's StoreKit for processing subscriptions, which is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Advertising

KodeBytes contains no advertisements. We do not display ads of any kind, including behavioural advertising, contextual advertising, or promotional content.

Data Security

Since we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data at risk. Game progress and settings are stored securely on the user's device using iOS's built-in data protection.

Parental Rights

As we do not collect personal information from children, there is no personal data to review, delete, or modify. However, parents can:

  • • Reset app progress by deleting and reinstalling the app
  • • Manage or cancel subscriptions through their Apple ID settings
  • • Use iOS Screen Time features to manage app usage
  • • Contact us with any questions or concerns

External Links

KodeBytes may contain links to external websites (such as our support page). These links are protected by a parental gate requiring a simple verification step before opening. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
