COPPA Compliance11/29/12

The Bottom LineFamigo is 100% COPPA compliant and always has

been.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, the primary goal of COPPA is to put parents in control of the information that is collected from their children (defined as under 13 years of age) online. We extend this privacy protection to any user, regardless of age,

and consider ourselves industry leaders in applying COPPA guidelines to mobile technologies that were not even envisioned when COPPA was enacted.

What does COPPA Say?

What Does COPPA MEAN?In order to understand COPPA, you must understand the distinction between two types of information

Personally Identifiable

Information (PII)

Non-Personally Identifiable

Information (Non-PII)This is information that can be linked to an individual user, e.g. email addresses and credit card numbers.

This is information such as the type of operating system or web browser that you use.

Famigo customers will always know when we collect this kind of information because we only collect PII from the parent and always provide an opportunity for the parent to choose when/if to provide it.

Non-PII information is used to improve the user's Famigo experience, e.g. by generating app recommendations appropriate for the types of devices your family owns.

All PII information is stored securely. This information is collected periodically, and is always collected anonymously.

COPPA ComplianceCOPPA Requirement Famigo’s Solution

Post a clear and comprehensive privacy policy. Famigo's Privacy Policy and this page.

Provide notice to parents and obtain consent before collecting personal information from children.

We only collect personally identifiable information that parents choose to provide. We'll always prompt you before we ask to collect this information.

Allow parents to consent to the collection of information for internal use without consenting to its distribution to third parties.

We do not allow third-party companies to solicit or advertise to our users.

Provide parents access to their child's information to review and/or have it deleted.

To do so, just contact support@famigo.com.

Give parents the opportunity to prevent further collection of their child's information.

Again, the only PII information we collect is what you provide. The parent is always in control.

Maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and security of the information collected from children

We do this for all data, no matter the user age, and we take the security of all of our data very seriously.
