AquaFrost ("AquaFrost," "we," "us," or "our") provides Chore Quest, a family-oriented application designed to help parents and children manage chores, homework, timed activities, stars, and family rewards.
We take privacy, particularly children's privacy, seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information Chore Quest uses, how that information is handled, and the choices available to parents and guardians.
1. Information Used by Chore Quest
Chore Quest allows a parent or guardian to create and manage child profiles. Information entered into the app may include:
- A child's display name or nickname
- A child's age
- A selected avatar
- Chores and tasks
- Task timer lengths and task emojis
- Stars earned
- Reward selections and reward costs
- Parent-created custom rewards and chores
- Timer progress and related app settings
- A Parent Mode PIN
Parents control the information they choose to enter. Parents may use nicknames or generic labels such as "Child 1" instead of a child's real name.
2. How Information Is Stored
The current version of Chore Quest is designed to store family profile information, chores, timers, stars, rewards, Parent Mode settings, and other app preferences locally on the device where Chore Quest is installed.
Chore Quest does not currently provide an AquaFrost cloud account or cloud synchronization service for this information. Information and progress on one device may therefore differ from another device.
3. How We Use Information
Information entered into Chore Quest is used to provide app functionality, including displaying profiles; providing age-appropriate starting chore suggestions; running chore, reading, and homework timers; allowing parents to customize tasks and timer lengths; tracking stars; managing and customizing family rewards; protecting Parent Mode with a PIN; and remembering settings and app progress on the device.
4. Children's Privacy
Chore Quest is designed for use by families, including children, under the supervision and management of a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians control child profiles, tasks, rewards, and Parent Mode.
We encourage parents to use a nickname or generic profile name when preferred, avoid entering unnecessary personal information, review information stored in Chore Quest, supervise children's use of the app, and keep the Parent Mode PIN private.
Chore Quest is not designed as a social network, chat service, or public profile service.
5. Accounts
The current version of Chore Quest does not require children or parents to create an AquaFrost user account to use the core app functionality.
6. Advertising
The current version of Chore Quest does not intentionally display third-party advertising. If advertising is added in a future version, this Privacy Policy and applicable disclosures will be updated as appropriate before those practices are introduced.
7. Location, Contacts, Camera, and Microphone
The current Chore Quest functionality does not require a child's precise location, contact list, camera, or microphone for its chore-timer and reward functionality. If future features require additional device permissions or information, we will update the app's disclosures and this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
8. Sharing and Selling Personal Information
AquaFrost does not intend Chore Quest's locally stored child profiles, chores, stars, rewards, and timer information to be sold to third parties. The current version does not provide a feature for publicly sharing children's profiles or chore information.
9. Third-Party Software and Services
Chore Quest may rely on software components, platform services, or libraries necessary to operate the application. AquaFrost reviews the application's included services and dependencies and may update this Privacy Policy or app-store disclosures when necessary.
10. Parent Mode and PIN Security
Chore Quest includes a Parent Mode protected by a PIN. The PIN is intended to help separate parent controls from child-facing portions of the app. Parents are responsible for selecting and protecting their PIN. A Parent Mode PIN is not a substitute for device security such as a device passcode or screen lock.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
Because Chore Quest currently stores family data locally on the device, parents can remove information using available in-app controls, including deleting child profiles, tasks, or rewards. Uninstalling the application or clearing its application data may also remove locally stored Chore Quest information, subject to the behavior of the device and operating system.
12. Security
AquaFrost seeks to design Chore Quest with reasonable privacy and security considerations appropriate to its functionality. No device or software environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Parents should protect the device on which Chore Quest is installed and keep the Parent Mode PIN private.
13. International Users
Chore Quest may be made available to families in multiple locations. Privacy and children's-data requirements may vary by jurisdiction. Parents and guardians are responsible for using the app in accordance with applicable local requirements.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
AquaFrost may update this Privacy Policy when Chore Quest changes, privacy practices change, or legal or platform requirements change. The revised policy will include an updated effective date.
