Children's Privacy Notice
Effective Date: May 5, 2026
This Children's Privacy Notice supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how Nyro Dynamics ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information from children under 13 years of age through the Nyro Quest mobile application ("App").
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable Canadian privacy legislation regarding children's data.
Key point: Children cannot create accounts or provide information to us directly. All Child profiles are created and managed by a Parent or legal guardian who has consented to this notice.
1. How We Obtain Parental Consent
Before any Child data is collected, we require the following:
- A Parent or legal guardian must create an adult account using an email address they provide. Email verification is not required at signup, but we may request email verification for account security, account recovery, abuse prevention, or access to certain features.
- During registration, the Parent must explicitly agree to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and this Children's Privacy Notice by checking a consent box.
- The Parent then creates the Child's profile, at which point data collection for that Child begins.
- We record the date and time of consent.
A Child cannot access the App without a Parent having first completed this consent process.
2. Information We Collect from Children
When a Parent creates a Child profile and the Child uses the App, we collect:
- Profile information (provided by the Parent): First name or nickname, year of birth (optional), avatar selection
- Authentication: A PIN code set by the Parent (stored as a bcrypt hash; we cannot see the actual PIN)
- Learning activity: Which lessons and slides the Child has viewed, quiz questions and answers, quest progress and completion status
- Achievement data: XP points earned, streak days, level progression
- Session data: When the Child opens the App, how long they use it, and what activities they complete during a session
3. Information We Do NOT Collect from Children
- We do not collect email addresses from Children
- We do not collect photos, videos, or audio from Children
- We do not collect precise geolocation data
- We do not allow Children to make purchases
- We do not allow Children to communicate with other users
- We do not display advertising to Children
4. How We Use Children's Information
Children's information is used solely to:
- Provide the learning experience (lessons, quizzes, quests)
- Track and display progress to the Child and their Parent
- Calculate XP, streaks, and levels
- Allow Parents to verify learning through the quest verification system
- Send in-app notifications about quest status (visible only to the Child and their Parent)
5. Who Can See Children's Information
- The Child themselves (their own progress, XP, quests)
- The Parent who created the Child's profile (full progress, quiz answers, session history)
- Nyro Dynamics staff, only as needed for technical support or legal compliance
We do not share Children's information with third parties for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose.
6. Parental Rights
As a Parent, you have the right to:
- Review your Child's personal information at any time through the App (Child Progress screen) or by contacting us
- Delete your Child's profile and all associated data through the App or by contacting us
- Refuse further collection by deleting the Child's profile, which immediately stops all data collection for that Child
- Withdraw consent at any time by deleting the Child's profile or your Parent account
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Children's data is retained only while the Child's profile is active. When a Parent deletes a Child's profile:
- All of the Child's personal information, learning progress, quiz answers, and session data is permanently deleted
- Deletion occurs within 30 days of the request
If a Parent account is deleted, all associated Child profiles and their data are also permanently deleted.
8. Security
We protect Children's data with the same security measures described in our Privacy Policy, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS), hashed credentials (bcrypt), and secure server storage.
