🛡️ Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

Surprise Button is designed specifically for children under 13 and fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We are committed to providing a safe, educational environment while protecting children's privacy at every step.

What is COPPA?

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of children under 13 years old online. It requires websites and online services to obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children and gives parents control over their children's information.

How We Comply with COPPA

Before any child can use Surprise Button, we require verifiable parental consent through our registration process:

Parents must provide their own email address for account verification
Parents must acknowledge and agree to our Privacy Policy
Parents must explicitly consent to their child using our service
Parents must agree to receive communications about their child's activities

🚫 What We DON'T Collect from Children

We never collect any of the following from children:

Email addresses or contact information
Full names or last names
Home addresses or location data
Phone numbers
Social security numbers or other government IDs
Photographs or videos of the child
Any other personally identifiable information

Only with explicit parental consent, we collect:

Child's first name only (for personalization)
