2. Special Considerations for Images and Videos Featuring Children

ParentLocal allows users to post images or videos as part of reviews or recommendations. However, we take extra precautions to safeguard content that may include children.

• Respond to customer service inquiries.

• Analyze app performance and user behavior for improvement.

For Images or Videos:

• Images or videos are stored securely and are only used for their intended purpose (e.g., displaying them as part of your review or post).

• We may resize or optimize uploaded media for better performance in the App but will not alter the content itself.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. Your information, including images or videos, may be shared with:

ParentLocal does not authorize the use of uploaded images or videos by any third parties outside the context of the App.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including uploaded images and videos. However, no system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

To enhance security for media content:

7. Children’s Privacy

ParentLocal takes the privacy of children seriously. While we do not knowingly collect data directly from children under 13, users may upload images or videos featuring their own children.

• If we become aware of inappropriate or unauthorized content involving children, we will remove it promptly and take any necessary legal action.

• Users are encouraged to report content they believe violates children’s privacy by emailing us at hello@parentlocal.com.
