AlexTV: Kids YouTube Control

Effective date: [April 20, 2026] Last updated: [April 20, 2026]

Plain-language summary. AlexTV is a parental control tool for parents. The parent is our user — not the child. We collect the minimum information needed to run the app, we do not sell your data, we do not show ads, we do not collect any personal information about your child (no names, no ages, no photos, no voices), and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children directly. The only child-related data we store is a minute counter used to turn the app off when the parent’s daily limit is reached.

1. Who We Are

This app, AlexTV: Kids YouTube Control (the “App,” “Service,” “AlexTV”), is operated by Michael Nguyen, an independent solo developer (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our” throughout this policy). You can contact us at any time at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with (spoiler: almost no one), and the rights you have over it. By downloading, installing, or using AlexTV, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Who This Policy Applies To

AlexTV is designed for, marketed to, and intended to be used exclusively by parents and legal guardians (adults 18 years of age or older) to manage their child’s YouTube viewing experience. The App is not directed to children, does not contain a children-facing account system, and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where that higher age applies).

If you are under 18, please do not create an account or use the App without a parent or guardian’s involvement.

3. Children’s Privacy (COPPA, GDPR-K, and Similar Laws)

We take children’s privacy very seriously. The App is configured so that:

• Only the parent or guardian creates an account and signs in. Children do not sign in, do not create accounts, and do not enter personal information into the App.
• We do not collect any personal information about a child, including the child’s name, age, birthdate, photo, voice, email, contact details, precise location, or persistent identifiers tied to the child.
• The only piece of information we store that relates to a child’s use of the App is an anonymous minute counter (how many minutes of allowed watch time have been used today) tied to the parent’s account. This counter is used solely to enforce the daily time limit the parent has set — for example, to automatically turn the App off when the limit is reached. It does not identify the child in any way.
• The App does not include third-party advertising, behavioral advertising, ad-targeting SDKs, or third-party analytics that track children’s activity.

If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete it. Our practices are intended to comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the “children’s” provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR-K,” Article 8), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and equivalent laws.
