1. Introduction

Jabber is a parental control app designed to transform an iPhone into a kid-friendly device by limiting access to unnecessary features like social media, web browsers, and other potentially risky applications. Our app allows children to safely communicate with family and friends through calls, messaging, and other essential functions without exposing them to the full extent of the digital world.

This Privacy Policy explains how we approach data privacy, what limited information may be handled through the app’s operation, and our commitment to not collecting, storing, or sharing any personal data from our users.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Jabber is built to operate without collecting any personal data. This means:

• No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personal information.
• No Device Usage Data: We do not track or log your child’s usage of the device, including app usage, browsing history, or social media activity.
• No Location Data: Jabber does not access or track location data from your child’s device.
• No Messaging or Communication Data: We do not monitor, store, or access any messages, calls, or other communications made through the device.
• No Payment Information: While the app is available for purchase via the App Store, we do not handle any payment information directly. All transactions are processed securely through the App Store.

3. Parental Controls and Local Data Processing

Jabber operates entirely on the device it is installed on. All settings and controls established by the parent are stored locally on the child’s device, not on external servers. As such, the following data remains local to the device and is not transmitted to Jabber or any third-party services:

• Approved Contacts: The contact list managed by parents for phone calls or messaging.
• Restricted Features: Any apps or functions that are blocked or restricted (e.g., web browsers, app store access) are configured locally on the device.

4. No Third-Party Data Sharing

Jabber does not share any data with third parties. Because we do not collect any personal data, there is no information to share with advertisers, analytics providers, or external services. Your data remains on the device, under your control.

5. Security Measures

Even though Jabber does not collect or transmit personal data, we take security seriously. Our app employs robust security protocols to protect the integrity of parental control settings and ensure that unauthorized access to the device is prevented. The following security measures are in place:

• Device-level encryption: Jabber leverages the security features built into iPhones, such as encryption and authentication methods, to protect the app’s functionality.
• Secure Installation: Jabber can only be installed and configured by the parent, ensuring that children cannot override the controls.
• Apple Integration: Jabber integrates seamlessly with Apple’s built-in security measures, such as Family Sharing and Screen Time, to ensure that device settings are enforced reliably.

6. Children’s Privacy

Jabber is specifically designed to create a safer smartphone environment for children. However, we do not collect any information from children who use the device. Parents have full control over what features are accessible to their children through the app. We comply with applicable privacy laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), ensuring that no personal data is collected or shared from children under the age of 13.

7. Use of Apple Services

Jabber integrates with several Apple features to enhance functionality and safety without compromising privacy. These include:

• Apple Screen Time: Parents can use Apple Screen Time to set limits and manage their child’s iPhone usage. Screen Time settings, such as allowed contacts, are stored locally on the device and not shared with Jabber.
• Family Sharing: Jabber works with Apple’s Family Sharing feature, allowing families to manage locations and other settings within the Apple ecosystem without transmitting data to Jabber.

8. International Use and Data Privacy Compliance

Jabber is available globally through the Apple App Store. While we do not collect or process personal data, we design our app to comply with international privacy standards, including:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): As Jabber does not collect personal data, we are fully compliant with GDPR by default. No data from users in the European Union is collected, processed, or stored.
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): Jabber complies with CCPA by not collecting or selling any personal data.
• Other Jurisdictions: Similarly, Jabber complies with all relevant privacy laws in jurisdictions where the app is available, as we do not process or transmit personal data.

9. User Rights

Since Jabber does not collect or store personal data, users do not need to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their data. All information related to the configuration of parental controls is stored locally on the child’s device, and parents retain full control over this information.

Should you have any concerns about privacy or security related to Jabber, you are welcome to contact us directly for further clarification.

10. Payment Information

Jabber is available for purchase through the Apple App Store. We do not handle any payment processing directly. All financial transactions are securely managed through Apple’s payment systems, which adhere to their own privacy and security policies. Please review Apple’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for more information about how your payment details are managed.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or to improve the functionality of our app. If any significant changes are made, we will notify users through an update in the app or via the App Store. The most recent version of this Privacy Policy will always be available within the app and on our website.

Your continued use of Jabber after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
