Yankel-Tech Ltd., an Israeli registered limited liability company (“we“, “us” or “our“, or “Yankel Tech“) regards your privacy seriously. These terms will help you understand what information we collect about you and your family and how we may use such information, including information that can be used, alone or together with other information, to personally identify an individual (“Personal Information“), all as related to the services provided to you within the “FamilyKeeper” app (the “App“).
By downloading our App and approving our Terms of Use (located at: https://www.familykeeper.co/terms-of-use/) and this Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to the terms of such Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy. Please read these documents carefully before using our App. If you do not agree to any of the terms hereof, please do not download the App, and if downloaded, remove or disable the App.
Note that certain features within the App require the affirmative consent (opt-in) of your family members in connection with whom you seek to use the App (for purposes hereof, “Minor(s)“). Accordingly, be advised that without such Minors’ affirmative consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, those parts of the App which do or may collect Personal Information concerning the Minor will not be available.
THE APP WAS DESIGNED AS A SERVICE FOR PARENTS AND OTHER LEGAL CUSTODIANS TO SUPERVISE THE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING INTERNET USE AND ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS, OF THE MINORS IN THEIR CARE. YOU, AS THE USER OF THE APP, SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT THE MINORS IN YOUR CONTROL HAVE BEEN DULY NOTIFIED OF THE PURPOSES OF THIS APP AND THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED BY THE APP. THIS APP IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE PARENTAL SUPERVISION AND VIGILANCE, BUT RATHER IS INTENDED TO ASSIST THE PARENTS IN GUIDING THE MINORS IN THEIR CARE IN THE PROPER AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF MOBILE DEVICES AND OTHER ONLINE ACTIVITIES.
BY USING THE APP YOU ALSO REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, YOU WILL NOTIFY THE MINORS OF THE USE OF THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY YOU THROUGH THE APP, WILL OBTAIN THEIR CONSENT, AND USE SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR LAWFUL AND LEGITIMATE PURPOSES ONLY.
Given the fact that the App is a parental tool, our services are not intended to be provided to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you, as a parent or legal custodian, become aware that a minor under your supervision has provided us information without your consent, or otherwise has provided us with any information that you would like to have removed, please contact us at: support@familykeeper.co.
When you choose to join our services via the App (and as and when the App is downloaded onto the Minor’s mobile device), we will ask you to provide information some of which may be Personal Information, such as a name, phone number, and e-mail address. On completing the registration process, you will be asked to create your own password, which will enable you to privately enter your created account. Please refer to our Terms of Use concerning your responsibility with respect to maintaining the confidentiality of your account.
As a parent or a legal custodian, when you set up an account, you will also be asked to provide information about the Minors for which you wish to use this App, including such Personal Information as their name, phone number, e-mail address, and date of birth (which we use to help us configure the product based on the age of the Minor), and you will also be asked to create a username for each Minor. Note that while provision of a Minor’s phone number is required in order to use the services offered by the App, you do not have to provide any additional Personal Information of the Minor, can use pseudonyms instead of actual names, etc. For example, if you do not provide the Minor’s date of birth, the App will use generic configurations. On completing the process, you will be given a PIN code. Such PIN code is to be entered into the App as and when downloaded onto your Minor’s device, which will thereafter synchronize your and the Minor’s mobile devices. Note that the account will only operate and function on the original devices to which it was initially downloaded.
As part of the services featured by the App, you, as a parent or the legal custodian, will have visibility to the following information concerning the Minor’s mobile device:
(i) Incoming and outgoing calls;
(ii) SMS, MMS and emails (including the entire content of conversations);
(iii) The address book and name associated with calls, SMS and/or MMS;
(iv) Website use and search terms used by the Minor;
(v) Downloads and uses, videos watched, social networks (such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram etc.), notifications, messages and content, as well as incoming and outgoing social network app calls;
(vi) Dependent on mobile device settings, the mobile device’s geolocation;
(vii) Alerts and notifications (such as app updates, downloads, ads, and more); and
(viii) Remotely locking the Minor’s mobile device.
You as the parent and the Minor accept that without affirmatively approving the above, by opting-in into the App at the time of download onto the respective mobile device, the above service and information visibility will not be enabled. You also understand and agree that, as stated in the section titled “Purpose of the App”, you are responsible for obtaining informed consents from each Minor for which you use this App and that you will comply with all relevant legislation, including data protection legislation, in connection with your use of Minor’s Personal Information. Please note that the App will always announce its presence to the Minor, and that the Minor will always be aware of the information accessible to the parent or a legal custodian.
