This general privacy policy governs your use of the KidsHomeBank app for mobile devices (“app”) and our website (“website”).
KidsHomebank is an educational virtual home bank mobile app to teach kids about money management in a fun, simple and practical way.
What information does the Application and Website obtain and how is it used?
User Provided Information – The Application obtains the email address you provide when you sign up for the KidsHomeBank newsletter. Subscription to the newsletter is optional. We may use the information you provide us to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information and marketing promotions.
Automatically Collected Information – In addition, the Application uses Apple’s automatic crash reporting service, which collects crash reports and associated information like the type of mobile device you use and your mobile operating system. The information collected is used to fix problems with and make improvements to the Application.
Google Admob – The free version of the KidsHomebank app uses Google’s Admob advertising service. Statistical information that includes things like your device type, carrier name, crash reports, and which apps you’ve installed may be reported to them so they can see whether their advertisements are effective.
