Genie Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

Welcome to Genie — a family app by Mindsmith Apps LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

Your family’s privacy matters deeply to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have as a parent or guardian.

By using Genie, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please stop using the app.

1. Who We Are

Genie is operated by Mindsmith Apps LLC, registered in California, USA.

Our goal is to help families manage screen time and encourage learning through positive habits.

If you have any questions about privacy, please contact us at hello@ourgenie.app.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to make Genie work safely and effectively.

From Parents

• Email address (used to create and manage your account)

From Children

• Age (to personalize learning and ensure safety)

Automatically Collected

• Basic usage data (how the app is used, to improve functionality and performance)

We do not collect names, photos, locations, contacts, payment info, or any content created by children.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain your Genie account
• Customize learning experiences and screen time features
• Improve the app’s reliability and performance
• Support customer service when you contact us

We do not use data for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Payment Information

Payments and subscriptions are handled through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, using a trusted third-party service called RevenueCat.

Mindsmith Apps LLC does not collect or store your payment details.

All billing and payment data are managed securely by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies.

5. How We Protect Data

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Because Genie does not store personal data beyond what’s necessary for account access, your privacy risk is kept minimal.

6. COPPA Compliance (Children Under 13)

Genie follows the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to ensure a safe experience for children under 13.

• Only parents or guardians (18+) can create accounts.
• A parent manages all child profiles and controls how Genie is used.
• We collect only limited, non-personal data from children (age and usage).
• We do not collect personal identifiers, location, or content from children.
• Parents can review or delete their child’s data anytime by emailing hello@ourgenie.app.

7. Sharing Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

We only share limited data when necessary to operate the app:

• With RevenueCat (for subscription management)
• If required by law or legal process

All partners are required to protect your information and comply with U.S. privacy laws.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data only as long as your account is active.

When you delete your account (or request deletion), all associated personal and child data are permanently removed, except where legally required to retain limited records (e.g., billing history).

To delete your data, contact us at hello@ourgenie.app or use in-app settings.

9. Your Rights

As a parent, you have the right to:

• Access and review your child’s information
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your or your child’s data
• Withdraw consent for further data use

We respond to all verified requests within a reasonable time frame.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices evolve.

If we make significant changes, we’ll notify you by email or in the app before they take effect.

Your continued use of Genie means you accept the updated policy.
