PROTECTION OF THE ONLINE PRIVACY OF KIDS/TEENS

Earlybean takes many precautions to protect the online privacy of kids/teens. Whenever we refer to "kids/teens" in this Privacy Policy, we mean children under the age of 18. Please help us in protecting children's privacy by instructing them to never provide any personal information (full name, email address, home address, phone number, etc.) without your permission.

Earlybean does not knowingly collect any personal information from children or within the child-directed portions of the App except as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Policy. If we were to collect and store personal information from kids/teens, we would obtain the consent of a parent or legal guardian before such collection.

Earlybean does not permit behaviourally-targeted advertising to Kids/teens in the App where we have actual knowledge that the user is under the age of 18.

INFORMATION COLLECTED BY EARLYBEAN

There are two types of information that may be collected by Earlybean. The first is called personal information which is information that can be used to identify a specific individual. As stated in the previous section, Earlybean does not knowingly collect any personal information from Kids/teens outside of the information required for the support of internal operations. Earlybean may collect personal information that parents, legal guardians or persons over 18 voluntarily provide on the App. The second type of information is non-personal information which doesn't directly identify an individual. Earlybean may collect non-personal information about your use of the App to help us improve our services or for other purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.
