Effective Date: May 3, 2025
Monster Squad Art ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users who visit our website (the "Site") to learn how to draw monsters while developing valuable life traits. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information in compliance with applicable laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). By using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect limited information to provide a safe and engaging experience for our users. Since we do not collect verifiable parental consent for children under 13, we restrict the collection of personal information from these users.
a. Information Provided by Users
-
No Personal Information from Children Under 13: We do not knowingly collect personal information (e.g., names, email addresses, or other identifiable data) from children under 13. Children under 13 may use the Site without submitting personal information, and we do not offer features requiring such information (e.g., accounts or user-generated content) for this age group.
-
User-Generated Content (Users 13 and Older): Users 13 and older may submit drawings, comments, or other content as part of their learning experience. Such submissions are voluntary and should not include personal information unless necessary for the activity.
-
Contact Information: If you contact us (e.g., via email or a contact form), we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you provide voluntarily.
b. Automatically Collected Information
-
Usage Data: We collect non-personal information about how users interact with our Site, such as pages visited, time spent on activities, and anonymized IP addresses. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
-
Device Information: We may collect information about the device used to access our Site, including browser type, operating system, and device identifiers, in a manner that does not personally identify users.
-
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to enhance user experience and analyze Site usage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that do not collect personal information from children under 13. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
c. Information We Do Not Collect
-
We do not collect personal information from children under 13, such as names, email addresses, or other identifiable data.
-
We do not collect sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers or financial details, from any users.
2. How We Use Your Information

Provide and improve our Site’s educational content and features.

Respond to inquiries or feedback from users.
-
Analyze Site usage to enhance user experience and ensure functionality, using anonymized or aggregated data.

Comply with legal obligations, including COPPA requirements.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties. We may share non-personal or aggregated information in the following limited circumstances:
-
Service Providers: We may share anonymized data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting or analytics providers) who assist in operating the Site. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
-
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a court order or protect the safety of our users.
-
Business Transfers: If Monster Squad Art is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will ensure continued protection of your information.
4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
To comply with COPPA, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our practices include:
-
Limiting Site features for children under 13 to those that do not require personal information (e.g., no account creation or submission of identifiable data).
-
Ensuring that any user-generated content or interactive features are restricted to users 13 and older or do not collect personal information.
-
Providing parents with the ability to contact us at [insert contact email] if they believe their child’s information was inadvertently collected, so we can delete it promptly.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Since we do not collect personal information from children under 13, our security measures focus on protecting non-personal and aggregated data. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Choices and Rights
-
Users 13 and Older: If you provide personal information (e.g., through a contact form), you may request to review, update, or delete it by contacting us at [insert contact email].
-
Parents: If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from your child under 13, please contact us to request its deletion.
