We are committed to full compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our service:

  • To generate parental reports on children's learning activity and screen-time usage.
  • To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data for product improvement.

We do notuse your information for advertising profiling, sell it to third parties, or use children's data for any marketing purpose whatsoever.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA & POPIA)

Kryzzo is designed for children aged 5–12, and we take their privacy with the utmost seriousness. Our child-data practices:

  • We only collect children's personal information with verifiable parental consent. A parent or legal guardian must create the account.
  • We collect the minimum data necessary from child profiles — only a nickname and age range.
  • We do not serve behavioural advertisements to children.
  • We do not allow children to share personal information publicly.
  • Parents may request full deletion of all data associated with a child profile at any time by contacting info@sweetphoenix.co.za.
  • We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental involvement.
