Privacy Policy for FindIt
Effective Date: January 30th, 2025
Introduction
FindIt (“the App”) is an educational app designed for children, allowing them to explore their environment in a fun and interactive way. Developed by TinyTap Ltd. (“we,” “us,” or “our”), FindIt is committed to protecting the privacy of its users, especially children, while providing a safe and enjoyable experience.
This Privacy Policy explains how FindIt collects, uses, and protects your data. By using FindIt, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information Collection and Use
1.1 Images Captured During Gameplay
FindIt uses a mobile device’s camera to facilitate gameplay.
• Captured Images:
• Parents take pictures of their environment to generate a list of common items using OpenAI’s image-to-text processing service.
• Children use the app to photograph items as part of the gameplay.
• Processing of Images:
• Captured images are temporarily uploaded to OpenAI’s image-to-text processing service for:
1. Generating a list of common items for gameplay.
2. Verifying if an item matches the description during gameplay.
• All uploaded images are deleted immediately after processing. No images are stored on our servers or OpenAI’s servers.
• Local Storage:
• Thumbnail-sized images of “found” items are stored locally on the user’s device to provide in-game feedback. These thumbnails are not uploaded to any server and are deleted when the app is uninstalled or the game is reset.
• Content Filtering:
• OpenAI’s processing service is configured to exclude sensitive or inappropriate content such as people, body parts, weapons, or other unsuitable items.
2. Use of Third-Party Analytics Services
To improve FindIt and understand how users interact with it, we use third-party analytics services such as AppsFlyer, Facebook Analytics, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and others. These services help us collect anonymous usage data, such as:
• Session duration and frequency of app use
• Features accessed during gameplay
• Device type and operating system
Important Notes:
• We do not collect geographic location or any information that could directly identify users.
• All data collected by these services is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information.
• These analytics providers may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect and process data on our behalf. You can learn more about their data handling practices by reviewing their privacy policies:
• Facebook Analytics Privacy Policy
• Google Analytics Privacy Policy
Opting Out:
• You may opt out of certain analytics services by adjusting your device or app settings or visiting the respective service provider’s opt-out page.
3. How We Protect Your Information
• All image processing occurs over secure, encrypted channels to ensure the safety and privacy of uploaded data.
• Analytics data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individuals.
• Local data, including thumbnails, remains encrypted and inaccessible to other applications on the device.
4. Parental Consent
FindIt is designed to prioritize child safety and requires parental consent before gameplay. Parents are encouraged to supervise their child’s use of the app and approve all captured images before the game begins.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not share any images, data, or gameplay results with third parties except as described in this policy:
• Anonymous usage data collected via third-party analytics services.
6. Children’s Privacy
We adhere to applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy of children under the age of 13, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.
• No identifiable images or personal data are stored or shared.
• Gameplay is designed to exclude sensitive content or imagery.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
