Child Safety Policy

Our Commitment to Child Safety

DailyCal ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the safety and privacy of children who may use our application. This Child Safety Policy outlines how we handle children's data, the precautions we take to ensure safety, and the responsibilities of parents or guardians.

DailyCal is designed for general audiences and is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by your country's law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

1. Purpose of This Policy

The purpose of this Child Safety Policy is to:

• Protect minors from harmful exposure
• Comply with international child protection laws (COPPA, GDPR-K, etc.)
• Ensure parents/guardians understand how data is handled
• Create a safe digital environment for families

2. Age Restrictions

2.1 Minimum Age Requirement

DailyCal may only be used by individuals who are:

• 13 years or older, or
• The minimum age allowed in their region to use health/fitness apps

If a user is below this age requirement, they must not use the app.

2.2 Parental or Guardian Consent (For Ages 13–18)

If the user is a minor (under 18), they should use DailyCal only under the supervision or permission of a parent or guardian. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring the app is appropriate for their child's age, maturity, and health condition.

3. Data Collection From Children

We do not knowingly collect, store, or process any personal data from children under 13. This includes:

• Name
• Email
• Age
• Weight, height
• Food photos
• Health and fitness data
• Subscription/payment information

If a child under 13 attempts to register, they must stop using the app.

4. If We Discover Data From a Child

If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will:

• Immediately delete the data from our servers
• Disable the child's account
• Notify the parent/guardian (if contact is available)

Parents/guardians may request deletion of such data by contacting us at: 📧 support@dailycal.in

5. Safe Content & User Protection

5.1 No Harmful or Sensitive Content

DailyCal does not include:

• Violence
• Sexual content
• Offensive or abusive material
• Age-inappropriate content

All content focuses on health, fitness, wellness, nutrition, and mindfulness.

5.2 No Social Interaction or Chat

DailyCal does not offer:

• Public chat
• Direct messaging
• User-to-user communication
• Forums or comments

This reduces risk of unwanted interactions.

5.3 No Targeted Advertising for Children

We do not:

• Serve personalized ads
• Use behavioral advertising

• Sell data to advertisers

If ads ever appear (rare), they are general, non-targeted, and age-safe.

6. Third-Party Tools & Services

DailyCal uses trusted services such as:

• Firebase
• Supabase
• Analytics
• AI model processors

These services do not intentionally collect data from children under 13. We ensure all third-party services:

• Maintain child-safe practices
• Follow data protection regulations
• Do not use user data for harmful purposes

7. Parental Guidance & Responsibilities

Parents/guardians should:

• Monitor their child's use of DailyCal
• Review the app's features and content
• Ensure the health information entered is appropriate
• Contact us immediately if they believe their child's data is stored

DailyCal promotes healthy living but is not a medical app. Parents should consult a doctor before allowing minors to follow any diet or exercise plan.

8. Health & Fitness Caution for Minors

Since DailyCal provides:

• Diet recommendations
• Calorie tracking
• Nutrition insights
• AI-generated food data

We strongly advise:

• Children under 18 should not follow diet plans without parental approval
• Children with eating disorders or health conditions should avoid strict tracking
• All minors should consult guardians before using calorie tracking tools

9. Location Data & Sensitive Information

We do not request or process:

• Precise GPS location from minors
• Health-critical metrics for diagnosing medical issues

Any approximate location (country/state) is used only for food database accuracy or cultural dietary recommendations.
