Last updated: March 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Starkid mobile application, developed and operated by Universica Digital LLP (“we”, “our”, or “us”).

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information of parents and children who use the Starkid app.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you use the Starkid mobile application and related services.

1. About Starkid

Starkid is a mobile app designed for parents to track their child's early development, journal everyday moments, and receive AI-powered activity suggestions.

Starkid is intended for personal family use by parents and guardians only. Starkid does not offer accounts for schools, businesses, or organizations, and children do not create accounts or directly interact with the app.

2. Information We Collect

We collect certain information in order to operate and improve the Starkid platform.

Account Information

When users create or access an account, we may collect:

• Phone number
• Name (if provided)

Authentication is performed using One-Time Password (OTP) verification sent to the registered phone number.

Child Information

Parents or guardians may voluntarily add limited information about their own child, including:

• Child name
• Age or date of birth
• Development or activity updates

Parents or guardians may also choose to provide additional information about their child for personal record-keeping, such as:

• Blood group
• Height and weight
• Vaccination status
• Other medical or health information voluntarily added by the parent

Providing medical or health information is entirely optional and is stored solely for the parent's personal use within the app.

Child information is accessible only to the child's parent or guardian.

Location Information

The Starkid app may collect approximate or precise location information from the device when required for certain features of the platform, such as security purposes, or improving service functionality.

Location information may also be used to improve our services, analytics, and for communication, promotional, or marketing purposes related to Starkid.

Location access can be controlled or disabled through the device settings at any time, although some app features may not function properly without it.

Media Content

Parents may upload media to their child's private journal, including:

• Photos
• Videos
• Activity notes

This content is stored privately in the parent's own account and is not shared publicly or with other users.

Device and Log Information

To maintain service quality and security, we may collect limited technical information such as:

• Device type
• Operating system version
• IP address
• App usage logs
• Error reports

This information helps us diagnose technical issues and improve the reliability of the platform.

3. App Permissions

The Starkid app may request the following device permissions:

Camera

Used by parents to capture photos or videos of their child's activities and milestones.

Photo Library or Storage Access

Used by parents to add existing photos or videos to their child's private journal.

These permissions are used only for core functionality of the app and can be controlled through device settings.

Location Access

Location access may be requested to support certain features of the Starkid platform such as security, and service functionality. Location information may also be used to improve services, analytics, and for communication or marketing related to Starkid.

4. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Create and manage user accounts
• Authenticate users via OTP login
• Enable parents to journal and track their child's development
• Generate AI-powered activity suggestions and insights
• Improve app performance and functionality
• Provide customer support and technical assistance
• Ensure security and prevent misuse of the app

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.

5. Data Storage and Security

Starkid stores data on secure cloud infrastructure hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect information, including:

• Secure encrypted communication using HTTPS
• Cloud infrastructure security best practices
• Authentication and role-based access control
• Restricted administrative access to systems

Although we take reasonable measures to protect information, no digital system can guarantee absolute security.

6. Who Can Access the Data

Access to information within Starkid is restricted to authorized users.

Information may be accessed by:

• The parent or guardian who owns the account
• Universica Digital LLP technical personnel when necessary for support, maintenance, or troubleshooting

All access is controlled using authentication and permission-based access mechanisms.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as it is necessary to provide the Starkid services.

Data may be retained while a user account remains active.

When accounts are deleted, associated personal data may be removed within a reasonable timeframe unless retention is required for legal, security, or operational purposes.

8. Data Deletion and User Rights

Users may request deletion of their personal data at any time.

Users can request deletion by:

• Deleting their account within the Starkid application (if available), or
• Contacting us directly via email.

Once a verified request is received, we will process deletion of personal data within a reasonable period unless data must be retained for legal or security purposes.

9. Children's Privacy

Protecting children's privacy is extremely important to us.

Starkid is designed for parents, and children do not create accounts or provide personal information directly through the app.

Information about children is added solely by the child's parent or guardian for the purpose of private journaling, development monitoring, and personal record-keeping.

Parents or guardians maintain control over their child's information and may request access, corrections, or deletion of their child's data at any time.

We take special care to ensure that children's information is handled securely and accessible only to authorized users.

10. Additional Protection for Children's Data

Starkid does not display advertising, does not sell children's data, and does not use children's personal information for marketing purposes.

Children's data is used strictly for private family journaling and development tracking within the app.

Access to children's information is restricted to the child's own parent or guardian.

11. Third-Party Services

Starkid may use trusted third-party infrastructure providers to operate the platform.

These may include:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS) for secure cloud hosting and storage

These providers process data only as necessary to operate the platform and are required to maintain appropriate security safeguards.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal requirements.

When updates occur, the revised policy will be posted on our website with an updated revision date.
