Kinjo Children’s Privacy Policy
Last revised: June 23, 2022
Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us – we’re educators and parents ourselves.
This Children’s Privacy Policy explains our collection, use, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to personal information provided by children under the age of 13 (“Child” or “Children”). We do not permit Children to use the Service and do not knowingly collect personal information from Children without the prior consent of a Parent. Terms not defined here are defined in Kinjo’s general Services Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.
As the parent or legal guardian (“Parent”), by validating and verifying your email address and permitting your Child to use the Service, you consent and agree to the collection, use, disclosure and other processing of your Child’s personal information as described herein. If you have any questions about Kinjo’s privacy philosophy or any of the terms and conditions of this Children’s Privacy Policy, please contact us at legal@kinjo.com.
The Kinjo website (https://kinjo.com/) and Parent mobile application are governed by a different Privacy Policy, which you can read here.
- What Information does Kinjo Collect from Children and How is it Used?
Kinjo strives to collect the minimal amount of information from Child users necessary to provide the Services. Kinjo collects the following information for the following purposes:
- Information Collected During Child Account Creation. Currently, Kinjo accounts for Children under 13 years of age (“Child Accounts”) are created in the following ways: (1) by the Child’s Parent; (2) by the Child themselves:
- (1) By the Parent: When a Parent sets up a Child Account on behalf of their child, we ask them to provide a unique username and a password. We also ask for the Child’s date of birth and a Parent email address so we may request parental consent. We will not use Parent emails provided this way to market our Services to the Parent unless the Parent has opted into marketing communications or has separately created an account on our Service. We don’t ask for any other personal information when requesting to set up a Child account.
(2) By the Child user: When a Child user requests to set up their own Child Account, we ask them to provide a unique username and a password. We also ask for the Child’s date of birth and a Parent email address so we may request parental consent. We will not use Parent emails provided this way to market our Services to the Parent unless the Parent has opted into marketing communications or has separately created an account on our Service. We don’t ask Children to enter any other personal information when requesting to set up an account.
All Child Accounts are linked with the Parent Account.

Account, Usage and Activity Information from Roblox. In order to provide the Service, we request that either the Parent or Child user connect their Roblox account to the Service. If a Parent/Child chooses to link their Roblox account, we collect Roblox login credentials, account information, and information associated with Child users’ use of and activities through their Roblox account. For example, we collect the following information from the Parent/Child or directly from the Roblox account linked to the Service: Roblox username, display name, and account ID; friends’ Roblox usernames; and games played on Roblox. Kinjo does not share any Children’s personal information with Roblox.
