Children’s Privacy Notice

privacy_panda

Welcome to our Privacy Hub – your go-to spot for all things privacy-related.

As passionate creators of engaging mobile games for your little ones, we prioritize their safety and aim to enhance their app experiences. We understand the importance of online privacy, and it's our commitment to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment.

When your child immerses themselves in our games, rest assured, we're not in the business of collecting personal information like full names, addresses, or contact details. Our focus is on providing a wholesome and safe digital space.

However, we do gather general data, such as the country of residence, time spent in our games, and the types of devices being used. Fear not, this information is aggregated and anonymized – it's more like statistical puzzle pieces than individual profiles. This data aids us in understanding our audience better and refining our games.

Now, about those in-game ads – we've got it covered. Our Ads Quality Team meticulously ensures that all ads are child-appropriate, and no personal information regarding your child's interactions with ads is collected.

For those inclined towards a deeper dive into our privacy practices, feel free to peruse the remainder of this document. And should any queries arise or if you seek further clarification on our Privacy Policy, reach out to us at privacy@tutotoons.com. We're here to address any concerns you may have.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's digital adventures.
