Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies and principles with respect to parents and children under the age of 13.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that we inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age; and that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use certain features of our websites and apps. Below we explain how we do that for these "kids." Also, when we use the term "parent" below, we mean to include legal guardians.
Q1. What types of personal information do we collect about kids?
A1. Kids can surf Swipea.com and other Gamebit Labs sites, view content, and install apps without any personal information being collected. We do not collect personal information from kids as they are not required to register any personal accounts for services or to install our apps.
Parents and kids may participate in sweepstakes, contests or join our social network accounts. The only information we collect is name and e-mail address. We may collect birth dates to validate the ages of our guests.
Q2. How do we use and share the personally identifiable information that we have collected about kids?
A2. If a kid registers for a sweepstakes or contest, we will use the parent's e-mail address to notify the parent of the kid's registration request (as described in detail below in A3).
Q3. How do we notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of information from their kids?
A3. We send parents an e-mail when their kid registers and enters a sweepstakes or contest and we provide parents 48 hours to refuse their kid's registration and entry in the sweepstakes or contest. If the parent refuses to allow the kid's registration and entry, we delete the kid's information from our database. If we don't hear back from the parent, we assume it is acceptable for the kid to be registered and entered in the sweepstakes or contest. If a kid wins a sweepstakes or contest, we notify the parent at the parent's e-mail address provided to us and request that the parent provide their postal address for purposes of delivering the prize. We may publish a winner's first name, first initial of last name, city, and state of residence on our Web sites.
Q4. How will we notify parents if our Privacy Policy changes?
A4. We may amend our Privacy Policy at any time. We will provide parents notice by e-mail of any material changes in the way we intend to collect, use, and/or share kids' personal information. We will apply material changes in our Privacy Policy only in conformance with applicable law.
Q5. Who do guests contact with questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy?
A5. If you need further assistance or have questions about this privacy policy and use of children's information may be directed to: [email protected]
Finally, the software used to develop our apps does keep analytical data about your app usage and only in anonymized form, is covered in the Corona Labs’ Privacy Policy For App Developers.
