1. Introduction
Kidividi ("Kidividi", "we", "our", or "us") is a product of JOKOVA ("the Company"). Kidividi is a mobile application that allows parents to curate a safe, approved feed of YouTube videos for their children, set daily screen time limits, and view reports on how their child engages with approved content.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you when you use the Kidividi mobile application (the "App"), whichever platform you access it from (Android or iOS).
This Policy is written primarily to comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), as Kidividi is developed and promoted from India. Because the App is available for download outside India as well, we also describe, where relevant, how we approach obligations that may arise under the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and the EU General Data Protection Regulation as it applies to children ("GDPR-K").
By creating a Kidividi account and using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Who This App Is For, and Who We Collect Data From
Kidividi is built around a single rule: only parents interact with our systems directly.
- Parents: create the account, provide their own information, add child profiles, browse and approve videos, set screen time limits, and view all reports.
- Children: never create an account, never log in independently, and never enter any information into the App themselves. A child's profile exists only within, and under the control of, their parent's account.
Because of this structure, wherever this Policy refers to "you," it refers to the parent or legal guardian using the App, unless a section specifically addresses child profile data.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Parent Account Information
When you create a Kidividi account, we collect:
- Name: to personalize your account.
- Email address and/or phone number: for account creation, login, and important notifications.
- Password: stored using industry-standard hashing; we never store passwords in plain text.
- Account settings: your preferences, screen time rules, and app configuration.
3.2 Child Profile Information
When you add a child profile, we collect only what is necessary to personalize the experience and generate reports:
- Child's name or nickname: as entered by the parent. We recommend using a nickname rather than a full legal name, though this is the parent's choice.
- Age or age range: used to help you filter and select age-appropriate videos.
- Avatar/profile customization: chosen by the parent.
We do not require and do not collect a child's exact date of birth, school, address, phone number, email address, or any government identifier. We do not collect photographs of the child unless a parent voluntarily uploads one as a profile picture, which is entirely optional.
3.3 Video Approval and Content Data
Kidividi's core function is built on parent-approved content. We collect and store:
- Videos added to a child's approved feed: the specific YouTube videos a parent selects.
- Video metadata: titles, thumbnails, channel names, duration, and category/subject tags.
- Screen time settings: daily limits configured per child profile.
3.4 Usage and Viewing Data (Child Activity, Collected for Parental Reporting Only)
To power the analytics and reports available to parents, the App records activity that occurs within a child's approved profile. This includes:
- Watch time: how long a child watches, per session, per day, and per video.
- Videos watched, skipped, or replayed: which approved videos were opened, abandoned early, completed, or rewatched.
- Usage timing: time of day and frequency of app use.
- Comprehension check (MCQ) responses: which questions were answered, whether the answer was correct, and the timestamp in the video the question relates to.
- Attention indicators: playback behavior at specific points in a video (such as skipping, pausing, or rewinding), used to generate the plain-language attention report described in Section 5.
All of this activity data is tied to the child's profile within the parent's account. It is never used to build a public profile of the child, is never linked to the child's identity outside the app, and is never shared with advertisers.
3.5 Technical Information
- Device type, operating system, and app version.
- IP address (for security and fraud prevention).
- Crash logs and diagnostic data, to fix bugs and keep the App stable.
4. How We Use Your Information
4.1 To Provide the Service
- Operate the parent-approval workflow for videos.
- Enforce screen time limits and pause playback once a limit is reached.
- Sync approved content and settings across the parent's devices.
- Generate comprehension questions and score responses (see Section 5).
4.2 To Generate Reports and Insights for Parents
- Watch time summaries, by day, week, and video category.
- Content preference patterns (e.g. subjects a child gravitates toward or avoids).
- Comprehension summaries from MCQ responses, where enabled.
- Plain-language attention observations, where enabled (see Section 5).
4.3 Account and Support
- Authenticate your account and prevent unauthorized access.
- Send service-related communications (approval reminders, limit alerts, account notices).
- Respond to support requests.
4.4 Product Improvement
- Analyze aggregated, de-identified usage trends to improve app features and content classification accuracy.
- Fix bugs and improve performance.
5. Comprehension Questions and Attention Reports
Kidividi includes an optional feature that shows short multiple-choice comprehension questions after certain educational or knowledge-based videos, tied to specific moments in the video.
5.1 What We Generate From This
- A record of which questions were answered correctly or incorrectly, and at what point in the video the related content appeared.
- A plain-language, descriptive report for parents — for example, noting that a child completed a video but appeared to miss content around a particular point.
5.2 What This Is Not
This feature is not a test, IQ measure, or "smartness" score, and Kidividi does not generate or display any numeric score, rank, or grade for a child. We do not make claims about a child's cognitive ability or intelligence. The report is intended purely as an observational aid — similar to a note a parent might make themselves while watching alongside their child — to help parents understand engagement with specific content.
5.3 Parental Control
- This feature can be turned off at any time from account settings.
- Parents can view, and can request deletion of, all comprehension and attention data associated with a child's profile.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, or your child's information, to anyone.
6.1 Service Providers
We share limited data with trusted providers who help us operate Kidividi, bound by confidentiality and data-processing obligations:
- Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers.
- Analytics providers, who receive only aggregated or de-identified data.
- Crash/error monitoring providers, who receive technical diagnostic data only, with identifiers stripped where possible.
6.2 YouTube / Google
Kidividi's content library is drawn from YouTube. When a video is played within the App, playback occurs through YouTube's platform or APIs, and Google/YouTube's own privacy policy and terms govern their handling of any data collected during playback. We do not control, and are not responsible for, YouTube's own data practices. We encourage parents to review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
6.3 Advertising
Kidividi does not currently run its own advertising. Any advertisements a child may encounter during video playback are served by YouTube itself, as part of the standard YouTube video experience, and are governed by YouTube/Google's own advertising and privacy policies. If in the future we introduce advertising on Kidividi-owned screens, we will update this Policy in advance and will not use behavioral advertising targeted at children.
6.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information where required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or valid request from a government authority, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Kidividi, our users, or the public.
6.5 Business Transfers
If Kidividi or JOKOVA is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users by email before any such transfer takes effect.
7. Children's Privacy (DPDP Act, COPPA, and GDPR-K)
Kidividi is designed so that only a verified parent or legal guardian can create child profiles, approve content, and consent to this Policy on the child's behalf.
7.1 Verifiable Parental Consent
Account creation requires an adult to sign up using their own email address or phone number. By creating a child profile, the account holder represents that they are the parent or legal guardian of that child and consents to this Policy on the child's behalf, in accordance with the DPDP Act's requirement of verifiable parental consent, and consistent with COPPA's guidance on accepting consent from an account holder who has passed standard identity/age verification at sign-up.
7.2 No Direct Collection From Children
- Children cannot create their own account.
- Children cannot enter personal information.
- Children cannot communicate with other users; Kidividi has no chat, comment, or social feature.
- Children cannot make purchases within the App.
- Children cannot access content outside what a parent has approved.
7.3 No Behavioural Advertising or Tracking of Children
In line with the DPDP Act's specific restriction on behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising directed at children, we do not track children across apps or websites, do not build advertising profiles of children, and do not permit targeted advertising to child profiles on Kidividi-owned surfaces.
7.4 Data Minimisation
We collect only what is needed to run the approval, screen-time, and reporting features described above. We do not request a child's exact birthdate, address, school, or contact details.
7.5 Parental Rights Over Child Data
Parents can, at any time, from within the App or by contacting us:
- View all data associated with a child's profile.
- Correct inaccurate profile information.
- Delete a child's profile and associated activity data.
- Withdraw consent, which will result in deletion of the associated child profile and data.
8. Data Security
- Encryption: data in transit is encrypted using TLS/SSL.
- Password security: passwords are hashed; we never store them in plain text.
- Access controls: internal access to user data is limited to personnel who need it to operate the service.
- Ongoing review: we periodically review our security practices as the App evolves.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you are responsible for keeping your account password confidential.
9. Data Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Parent account information | Retained while the account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion request |
| Child profile information | Retained while the profile exists; deleted within 30 days of profile or account deletion |
| Viewing history & watch time | Retained while the profile is active, for report generation; deleted within 30 days of profile deletion |
| Comprehension (MCQ) & attention data | Retained while the feature is enabled; deleted within 30 days of disabling the feature or deleting the profile |
| Crash logs & diagnostics | Retained up to 90 days for troubleshooting |
| Billing records (if applicable in future) | Retained as required under applicable law |
Parents may request deletion of any of the above at any time; we are not obligated to retain data beyond what is required by law once a valid deletion request is received.
10. Your Rights and Choices
As the account holder, you have the right to:
- Access: view the data associated with your account and any child profile.
- Correct: update inaccurate information.
- Delete: request deletion of your account, or any child profile, and associated data.
- Withdraw consent: at any time, with the effect described in Section 7.5.
- Opt out of optional features: such as comprehension questions and attention reports, from account settings.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will respond within 30 days.
11. International Users
Kidividi is developed and operated by JOKOVA, based in India, and is primarily promoted to parents in India. The App is not geographically restricted, and parents outside India may also download and use it.
- Governing law: this Policy and your use of the App are governed by the laws of India, and this Policy is drafted to align with the DPDP Act, 2023.
- Users outside India: your information will be transferred to and processed in India. Where applicable, we aim to honor the additional protections children's data receives under COPPA (U.S.) and GDPR-K (EU/UK).
12. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Kidividi's features evolve — for example, as we introduce alternative content sources beyond YouTube, or new reporting features. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, for significant changes affecting how children's data is handled, notify parents by email or in-app notice at least 15 days in advance. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
