OUR COLLECTION OF DATA FROM CHILDREN

When a child uses the App, we collect data about the child’s device (such as platform, device type, wireless carrier, operating system, language, and country), as well as the child’s city and region and the version of the App that he or she is using.  We use this data to understand how the App is used and to improve it.

If a child’s parent or guardian provides consent, we collect the child’s first name and age, his or her brushing data (frequency, duration, areas of the mouth brushed, etc.), and the data described above, under “Other Data.”  We use this data for the purposes described above, under “Use of Personal Data” and “Disclosure of Personal Data.”

A child may allow the App to take his or her photo, which we do not collect.  The photo remains on the child’s device.

A parent or guardian may provide his or her email address and a password in order to create an account and then be able to view the brushing behavior of a child who uses the App on the same device as the parent or guardian.   

If you would like to review the Personal Data we have collected from your child, or if you would like to ask us to make no further use of, or delete, the Personal Data we have collected from your child, please contact us as described in the “Contacting Colgate” and “Contacting Kolibree” sections, below.  In your request, please include your name and email address, and specify the action you would like us to take. For your child’s protection, we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.
