1. Information We Collect

a. Personal Information

We do not require users to provide personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses to use the core features of the App.

If optional features are added in the future (such as accounts, progress saving, or newsletters), users will be notified, and consent will be required before collecting any personal data.

We may collect limited, non-identifiable information automatically, including:

This data helps us improve app performance, stability, and user experience.

c. Camera & Augmented Reality Access

The App uses your device’s camera solely to enable augmented reality experiences, such as viewing butterflies and interactive environments in real-world spaces.

• No photos, videos, or camera data are recorded, stored, or shared

• Camera access is only active while using AR features

• Camera data stays entirely on your device

• No targeted advertising or behavioral tracking is used

If a parent or guardian believes personal data was collected unintentionally, they may contact us, and we will promptly delete the information.

Any collected non-personal information is used only to:

• Improve gameplay and educational experiences

• Fix bugs and technical issues

• Understand general app usage trends

• Maintain app security and stability

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties
