Privacy Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected by Commit through our website and application. Our service is designed to help children develop healthy working behaviors and financial habits through a commission system.

2. Collection of Information

Unlike a standard newsletter, our platform requires specific information to function:

• Parent/Guardian Information: We collect your name, email address, and payment information (if applicable) when you create a household account.
• Child Profile Information: Parents provide minimal information for their children, such as first names or nicknames, to track chore progress and virtual ledger balances.
• Usage Data: We collect information on how the app is used (e.g., chores completed, budget allocations) to provide the core service.

3. Use of Information

We use your information to:

• Maintain your household’s chore charts and commission ledgers.
• Facilitate budgeting logic.
• Send you updates, "payout" reminders, and educational content.
• Analyze and improve the functionality of our website and application.
• Comply with legal obligations and safeguard our rights.

4. Disclosure of Information

We will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information. We may disclose information to:

• Third-Party Service Providers: Partners that support our operations, such as database hosting, email delivery, and financial APIs.
• Legal Requirements: Law enforcement or government entities as required by law or in response to a valid legal request.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Because our application is designed for family use, we take children's privacy with the utmost seriousness:

• Parental Control: Accounts must be created by a parent or guardian. Children do not sign up for the service independently.
• Data Minimization: We only collect the information necessary to track chores and commissions. We do not ask children for email addresses or social media access.
• Parental Rights: Parents have the right to review, edit, or delete any information related to their child’s profile at any time by contacting us.

6. Protection of Information

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information.

• Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for all data in transit.
• Access Control: Access to our database is strictly limited to authorized system processes.

Disclaimer: While we utilize industry-standard infrastructure providers, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. The service is provided on an "as-is" basis regarding security.

7. User Choices and Control

You may manage your account and marketing preferences through the application settings. If you wish to unsubscribe from our communications or request that your data be permanently deleted ("the right to be forgotten"), please contact us.

8. Cookies and Analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and improve site functionality. We also use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our site. This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us improve usability for all families. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our service or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on our website.
