We collect the following Personal Information from you as a parent or legal guardian, to create and manage your account: your email address, your child’s first name, birthdate and gender. On Xooloo Parents we will also collect the type of device used (Android or iOS) and the device language. Additional information may be collected passively from your child device. For the Xooloo Digital Coach Application, we may collect the following Personal Information from your children device to provide our service: consulted websites addresses if web protection is enabled, messages sent by the children within Xooloo Digital Coach to ask their parents for extra time, the brand and model of the device, the device language, the OS version, the list of applications installed on the device, the time and duration of applications usage as well as the time zone set on the device when the application was setup. If the application is used on a device with a SIM card, the following information may also be collected: the time and duration of incoming and outgoing calls as well as the related numbers, the ICCID number of the SIM card and its phone number, the contact lists (name and number) after authorization is provided. Finally the application also lets children send text messages to the Xooloo support using a form available from the application. Messages are received by Xooloo support staff who can only reply to the parents to help them resolve an issue raised by the child.
We use this information to administer your account and provide our services generally, including without limitation: choosing a protection mode, select applications a child user can have access to, select contacts you authorize a child user to receive call from and to make call to, to set a daily time usage and also a time schedule for the different app categories, access categories-based reporting. The information collected is used to provide detailed information to parents only, who have installed the Application on their children’s devices and who use the Application Xooloo Parents or the Parents Web interface.
We sometimes use non-personally identifiable or “aggregate information” that we collect to improve our services. Your child’s application usage will also be used as aggregate data to offer average usage data to all users. This is how you will also get the average for children of the same age and gender as yours. Aggregate data is not information that could be used to identify you or your child or to contact you or your child. If as a parent, you do not want your children app usage to be used anonymously you have the option to go to the Xooloo Parent Application under Family setting / Family stats. In that case, you and your children will not be able to be informed of the average use of others children of the same age and gender which is part of the service.
For the Xooloo App Kids Application, that was created to allow a parent or legal guardian to share their devices with their children and can only be installed by a parent or legal guardian for use by their child, we may collect the following Personal Information from the device that use the Application: the parent email address, the password chosen by the parents, the OS version, the device language, the brand and model of the device and the list of applications selected by your children to create a wish list. This will then prompt an email to the parents allowing you to set permissions to allow your child to use the selected applications.
Tell-A-Friend: Parents if you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Application you will get 1 month free of use for each friend you tell about the Application and up to a maximum of 12 months free.

Your California Privacy Rights.
As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83, a California resident who has provided Personal Information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California user“) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed Personal Information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
As stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not share information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure, typically by opting in to receive information from a third party that is participating in some activity described on our Applications. If you do ask us to share your information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific activity, as we do not share information with any third party on a continual basis. To prevent disclosure of your Personal Information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide Personal Information on our Application. Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
California users may request further information about our compliance with this law by contacting us at [email protected]. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through our Site.
