At Base Apps, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or “our”), your privacy is of the utmost importance. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the Dots and Skills mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

If you are a resident of the European Union (EU), United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, this policy includes details to help you understand your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a California resident, this document also reflects your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

⸻

This Privacy Policy covers how we treat information that may identify you (“Personal Data”) and is collected through the Dots and Skills app or our website. It also applies to data related to children, which may be submitted by parents or guardians as part of the app’s intended use.

⸻

While the app is designed for parents, it collects data from or about children under the age of 13 (e.g., voice recordings or drawings). We do not permit direct account creation by minors, and parents must act as the account holders.

By submitting a child’s content, you confirm that you are their legal guardian and consent to the processing of this data for educational and app functionality purposes.

If you believe we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, please contact us at privacy@dotsandskills.com, and we will take steps to delete the information.

⸻

We do not sell your or your child’s data. We only share data as follows:

• With service providers: Hosting (e.g., Firebase), analytics (e.g., Google), AI-based scoring engines

• With payment platforms: For handling App Store subscriptions

• In business transfers: If we are acquired or merged, your data may be transferred

• To comply with legal requests

• With your explicit consent, where required

All third parties must comply with strict data protection standards and contractual safeguards.

⸻

We retain your data for as long as your account remains active or as needed for legal or operational purposes. After termination, data may be archived in anonymized or aggregated form for analytics.

You may request deletion of your or your child’s data at any time by contacting privacy@dotsandskills.com.

⸻

We use industry-standard security measures, including:

• End-to-end encryption in data transmission

• Cloud infrastructure with secure access control

• Data anonymization and obfuscation for analytics

While we strive to protect all personal information, no digital transmission or storage system is completely secure.

⸻

Our services are operated from the United States. By using the app, you agree to the transfer of your data to the U.S. and other countries where our third-party providers operate.

We comply with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks and other applicable cross-border mechanisms.

⸻

Depending on your jurisdiction (EU, UK, California, etc.), you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data

• Correct or update your information

• Delete your personal data

• Object to processing or restrict it

• Withdraw consent at any time

• Request data portability

• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@dotsandskills.com. We may request verification before fulfilling such requests.

⸻

Our app and website currently do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. However, you may adjust your privacy preferences via your device settings or within the App itself, where available.

⸻

If you reside in California, you have the right to:

• Know what personal data we collect and share

• Request access or deletion of your data

• Opt out of the sale of personal information (which we do not do)

We do not discriminate against users for exercising their privacy rights.
