Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”)

Because the App passively tracks your child’s online use to assist you in protecting the safety of your child, BullStop App complies with COPPA. COPPA requires us to inform parents and/or legal guardians about our practices for collecting, using and disclosing personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13).  It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent, for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

In order for a child under the age of 13 located in the United States to use the App, his/her parent must approve the registration. This Disclosure and Privacy Policy serves as the direct notice to parents required by COPPA. By clicking “Allow Access,” you are consenting to the collection of personal information from your child for the purpose of assisting you in protecting the safety of your child. Any information collected will not be used or disclosed for any purpose unrelated to your child’s safety.  You may refuse to permit the use of the information collected or require the deletion of the information contacting Customer Service at [email protected]. 

You can read more about COPPA at the FTC’s COPPA page.

Requests for Information or Deletion

A request to know or delete information collected must:

  1. Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include, but is not limited to:
    1. Contact information associated with the account; 
    2. The user profile name; 
    3. The name of one or more Registered Devices; 
    4. Technical information (e.g., model ID, serial number, IMEI code, operating system, etc.); or 
    5. Any other piece of personal information we determine in our sole discretion to be sufficient for verifying your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty
    6. Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

 We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

Google Accessibility Services API

Use of the App requires access to the Registered Device’s Accessibility Services API, more specifically the screen reader, to scan and detect text displayed on any Registered Device. The Accessibility Services API is used to read text messages, emails, internet searches, website content, social media content, and any other text contained within the applications installed on a Registered Device in accordance with our services. Data collected by the Accessibility Services API is processed locally on the Registered Device and is utilized only for the purpose of identifying harmful words or phrases in accordance with our services. The data is shared with the parent’s Registered Device, but it is not shared with third parties.
