KidsLife — Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 27, 2026

1. Introduction

KidsLife ("we," "us," or "our") provides a daycare management application ("the App") that enables daycare operators, staff, and parents to communicate and manage information about children's daily activities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our App.

This App is not directed at children. KidsLife is designed for use by adults — daycare operators, staff members, and parents/guardians. Children do not directly interact with the App. However, because the App processes information about children, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable privacy laws.

The App uses Google Firebase servers. Data may be processed in data centers located outside your country of residence. Google's Data Processing Addendum and Standard Contractual Clauses govern any international data transfers.
