DeenBloom is designed as a safe, educational Islamic learning app for children. We take the protection of children's privacy very seriously and comply with applicable privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We will NEVER use your child's information for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purposes beyond the provision of the educational service.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We will never share your child's personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, conducting our business, or providing services to you, provided they agree to keep this information confidential
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred, but only with continued adherence to this Privacy Policy

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication and access controls
• Regular security audits and updates
• Limited employee access to personal information

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but continuously work to maintain the highest standards of data protection.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

DeenBloom is designed for children and we are committed to compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We adhere to the following principles:

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent
• Parents/guardians have the right to review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's information
• We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide the educational service
• We do not condition a child's participation in activities on providing more information than is reasonably necessary
• We do not enable public posting or sharing of children's personal information

Parental Rights and Controls

Parents and guardians have the following rights regarding their child's information:

• Access: Review what information we have collected from your child
• Deletion: Request deletion of your child's personal information
• Refuse: Refuse to allow further collection or use of your child's information
• Modify: Correct or update your child's information

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Quiz progress and achievement data associated with your account are stored in our cloud service, Convex. Reading bookmarks may also be stored locally on your device. Uninstalling the app does not by itself delete cloud-stored data. For questions or requests about your data, contact privacy@deenbloom.com.

Third-Party Links and Services

The App does not contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not integrate third-party advertising or analytics that track children. Any future integration of third-party services will be done in strict compliance with COPPA and other applicable privacy laws, with prior notice and parental consent where required.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to facilities located in secure jurisdictions.

We ensure that any international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.
