12. Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance

Goon Counter is available to users ages 12 and up. Because users may include children under 13, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and take the following steps to protect younger users:

Users Under 13

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
• If you are under 13, a parent or legal guardian must review and consent to this Privacy Policy before you create an account or provide any personal information.
• We do not allow children under 13 to participate in community features (public posts, leaderboards) that would display their username publicly without parental authorization.
• We do not condition a child's participation on disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary to use the app.
• Parents and guardians may review, request deletion of, or refuse further collection of their child's information by contacting us at gooncounter@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Parental Rights

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at gooncounter@gmail.com. We will investigate and delete the information within 30 days.

Users under 17 should review this Privacy Policy with a parent or guardian. Goon Counter does not direct any advertising or marketing toward children.

13. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS) for all network communication
• Row-Level Security (RLS) on our database so users can only access their own data
• Authenticated API access via Clerk JWT tokens
• Limited employee access to user data, on a need-to-know basis
• Regular security reviews of our infrastructure

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

14. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• Notify you via email or an in-app notification for significant changes

Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
