1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We use this solely to authenticate you and link your account to your license.

Application Data: We store your app settings, channel allowlists, screen time configurations, profile information, and device identifiers in our secure database. This data is necessary to operate the service.

Usage Data: We track daily screen time usage to enforce parental time limits. This data is stored per-profile and is accessible only to the account holder.

• To authenticate your identity and manage your license
• To sync settings between the Zahava Media app and the Parent Portal
• To enforce screen time limits and content restrictions

3. YouTube API Services

Zahava Media uses the YouTube API Services to display video content. By using our application, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. You can review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how Google handles your data.

We access YouTube data solely to display allowed video content within the app. We do not store, share, or sell any YouTube viewing data. Users can revoke our access to their data via the Google security settings page.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore), which provides enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit. Access to your data is restricted by security rules that ensure only you and your linked parent portal can access your settings.

• To protect the rights, safety, or property of Zahava Media, our users, or the public

6. Children's Privacy

Zahava Media is a parental control tool designed to create a safe viewing environment for children. Children do not create accounts or provide personal information directly. All account management is performed by the parent or guardian who holds the license.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us at devops@zahavanetworks.co.il. Upon request, we will delete your data within 30 days.
