1. How we collect and use Children’s Personal Information ​

1.1 Our responsibilities ​

We follow the principles of legitimacy, necessity, informed consent, clear purpose, security, and lawful use when processing Children’s Personal Information. We collect and use it only after obtaining the required consent from a guardian.

In many situations, we cannot determine directly whether information belongs to a child. For that reason, we collect and process user information in accordance with the GoalMap Privacy Policy.

We may also automatically collect limited device and usage information through Cookies, SDKs, or similar technologies. Please see the Privacy Policy sections on Cookies and similar technologies and third-party SDKs. If we need to collect Children’s Personal Information beyond the scope described there, we will obtain the guardian’s explicit consent again where required.

1.2 Exceptions to consent ​

Where permitted by applicable law, we may collect relevant information without the prior authorization or consent of the child or guardian when the collection is:

  1. Directly related to national security, defense, public safety, public health, or a significant public interest;
  2. Directly related to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial, or enforcement of a judgment;
  3. Necessary to protect the child’s or another person’s life, property, or other significant lawful interests when guardian consent is difficult to obtain;
  4. Information that the child or guardian has publicly disclosed;
  5. Obtained from a lawful public disclosure;
  6. Necessary to enter into or perform a contract at the guardian’s request;
  7. Necessary to keep the product or Service safe and stable;
  8. Automatically retained information that cannot be identified as Children’s Personal Information; or
  9. Otherwise permitted by applicable law.

2. How we share, transfer, or publicly disclose Children’s Personal Information ​

2.1 Sharing ​

We do not share Children’s Personal Information with any company, organization, or individual outside North Gate, except when:

  1. The guardian has given explicit consent;
  2. Disclosure is required by law or a government authority; or
  3. Disclosure is necessary to protect North Gate, a user, or the public’s lawful rights and interests.

2.2 Transfers ​

We do not transfer Children’s Personal Information to third parties, except when:

  1. The guardian has given explicit consent; or
  2. The information is transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or liquidation, and the new holder remains bound by this Notice.

2.3 Public disclosure ​

We do not publicly disclose Children’s Personal Information, except when:

  1. The guardian has given explicit consent; or
  2. Disclosure is required by applicable law or a government authority.

3. How we store Children’s Personal Information ​

3.1 Retention period ​

We retain Children’s Personal Information while it is needed to provide the product and Service. We will delete or anonymize it when one of the following applies, unless applicable law requires otherwise:

  • The purpose of processing has been achieved;
  • Consent has been withdrawn;
  • The account is closed or the Service is no longer used; or
  • We stop operating the Service.

3.2 Storage location ​

Children’s Personal Information is stored in mainland China. If an overseas transfer is required, we will follow applicable law and take measures to protect the information.

4. How we protect Children’s Personal Information ​

We use reasonable safeguards, including:

  • Information-protection policies and access controls;
  • Encryption, de-identification, and other security technologies;
  • Strict limits on employee access; and
  • Incident-response plans and timely responses to security incidents.

5. How guardians manage Children’s Personal Information ​

5.1 Access and correction ​

A guardian may request access to or correction of a child’s information through the GoalMap app’s Settings page or by contacting us.

5.2 Deletion ​

A guardian may request deletion in appropriate circumstances, including when consent is withdrawn or the information was collected unlawfully. We may verify the guardian’s identity before handling the request.

5.3 Account closure ​

A guardian may request account closure through the in-app process. After the account is closed, we will process the related information for deletion or anonymization, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

6. Changes to this Notice ​

We may update this Notice from time to time. We will provide a prominent notice of material changes where required. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect means that the updated Notice applies where permitted by law.
