COPPA Notice

Last updated May 21, 2026

This notice explains, in plain language, what data ScreenMindr collects from children under 13, why we collect it, and the rights you have as a parent. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which covers the full picture.

What COPPA is

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law that requires online services directed at children under 13 to be transparent about what data they collect from those children, to get a parent's verifiable consent before collecting it, and to give parents real control over that data.

ScreenMindr is operated by ScreenMindr, LLC and is a service designed to be configured and managed by a parent. A child cannot set up ScreenMindr without a parent first creating an account.

What data we collect from children

Only what we need to make the Service work:

• First name or nickname chosen by the parent — so the app can address the child by name.
• Age — so we can offer age-appropriate starter task packs and apply children's-privacy protections.
• Device identifier — a per-install identifier for the specific device the parent has assigned to that child, used to apply the right screen-time rules to the right device.
• Evidence photos the child takes to prove a task was completed.
• Task completion records — which tasks were started, completed, or skipped, and when.
• App-usage data needed for enforcement — which restricted apps were opened and when, used only to apply your screen-time rules. We do not log the content of those apps.

We do not collect: precise location, contacts, photo-library contents beyond the photos a child explicitly submits, microphone audio, or any third-party advertising identifiers from children.

Current beta status

ScreenMindr is in private beta and is being trialled with parents only at this stage. No information is being collected from children in the current beta build — the family-side features that involve enrolling a child's device are not yet active for beta households. When that changes, we will obtain verifiable parental consent before any child data is collected, using the mechanisms described below.

How we will get verifiable parental consent

At public launch, before any data is collected from a child, the parent will:

1. Create a ScreenMindr account in their own name and email address.
2. Start a paid subscription using a credit or debit card. The successful charge of a payment card associated with the account holder is one of the verification methods explicitly permitted by the FTC's COPPA Rule.
3. Set up the child's profile, choose the device, and configure the rules.

If a child device is enrolled during the beta, before paid subscriptions are available, we will instead obtain consent through a signed beta-participation agreement returned by email together with identity verification of the parent — also a permitted COPPA mechanism. We retain a copy of the signed agreement.

A child cannot bypass these steps. If a parent revokes consent — by deleting the child's profile or the account — collection stops immediately.

Your rights as a parent

• Review. You can see exactly what data we have collected from your child by emailing bob@screenmindr.com from the address on the account.
• Delete. You can delete a child's profile or the entire account at any time from the parent dashboard or by emailing us. We remove the data from active systems promptly and from backups within 90 days.
• Refuse further collection. You can pause or stop a child's use of the Service at any time. Once you do, ScreenMindr will not collect any further data from that child.
• Withdraw consent for any specific category of data without losing access to other parts of the Service, where this is technically possible.

We respond to these requests within 30 days, and usually much sooner.

How we use children's data

Strictly to make the Service work: applying restrictions, surfacing evidence for your approval, delivering reward windows, and providing technical support. We do not show ads to children, we do not allow third parties to target ads to children using data from ScreenMindr, and we do not sell or rent children's data to anyone.

How we protect children's data

All children's data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Evidence photos are deleted automatically once you approve or reject them, or after 30 days at the latest. Access by our team is role-based and logged. See the Privacy Policy for the full security and retention picture.
