3. How We Use Your Information

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with advertisers. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

5. Children's Information

Forever Fireflies is made for adults — parents and guardians who are 18 or older. It is not directed to children and is not designed for children to use. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account. The app does let a parent or guardian record information about their own children, as described below.

We collect children's names and birthdays so the app can organize entries by child and show age-appropriate prompts. Voice recordings may naturally include children's voices when a parent records a memory.

Here's how we protect children's information:

If you believe someone under 18 has created an account, please contact us at hello@foreverfireflies.app and we will remove it promptly.

If you are located outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States where our service providers operate. By using the app, you consent to this transfer. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing your data is your consent (when you create an account and enter information) and our legitimate interest in providing and improving the app.
