Overview

Critter Quest Academy is designed for young learners and is intended to be used under the guidance of parents, guardians, or educators.

Core gameplay features are available without providing personal information.

---

Data Collection and Player Identification

Core Gameplay (No Personal Data Required)

We do not require users to provide personal information (such as real names or contact details) to play and enjoy Critter Quest Academy.

In the Early Explorer Edition (EEE), we do not collect, store, or transmit personal information.

---

Player (Adventurer) Names

Players may choose a name, label, or pseudonym (such as “Tilly123” or “Explorer Max”) for in-game identification. These names are used only within the app experience and are not required to reflect a player’s real identity.

---

Optional Account-Based Features (Standard Edition)

Certain features in the Standard Edition (SE), such as Expeditions, progress reporting, and PIN backup, are available through optional account-based services.

To use these features:

• An email address is required to create an account
• Accounts are intended to be created and managed by a parent, guardian, or educator
• These features enable secure exchange of learning data between devices

We collect only the email address required for account creation and management.

We do not collect additional personal details such as real names, location data, or contact lists.

Core gameplay remains fully available without creating an account.

---

Use of Information

Email addresses are used solely to:

• Create and manage accounts
• Enable secure sign-in
• Support optional cloud-based features such as Expeditions and report delivery

We do not use personal information for advertising, tracking, or profiling.

---

Children’s Privacy

Critter Quest Academy is designed for young learners and families.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Account-based features are intended to be set up and managed by parents, guardians, or educators.

---

Security Measures

Access to connected features is protected locally by a PIN set by a parent, guardian, or administrator.

Web-based access to administrator tools (such as the Admin Gate Portal) requires account credentials.

We take reasonable measures to protect account data and encourage parents and guardians to supervise use of connected features, or lock, using PIN-protected features.

---

Embedded Content and External Links

Some pages in the app or on our website may include embedded content (such as videos or interactive elements) or links to external websites (such as YouTube or Amazon).

These external services operate independently and may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We encourage parents and guardians to review those policies when visiting third-party sites.
