3. Children's Privacy (COPPA & DPDPA)
Mind Mix is directed at children under 13 and we take their privacy very seriously. Our commitments:
- We do not require children to create accounts or provide any personal information to play
- We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers or physical addresses from child users
- We do not allow children to share content publicly or communicate with other users
- We do not display personalised or targeted advertising based on a child's activity or personal data
- Our advertising (Google AdMob) is configured to show child-appropriate, non-personalised ads only
- We do not use push notifications that could compulsively attract children back to the app
Parental Consent: Under India's DPDPA, we do not process personal data of children under 18 without verifiable parental consent. As we do not collect personal data directly from children, this requirement is inherently satisfied in our app design.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected information about a child, please contact us immediately at hardik.vishalpura@gmail.com and we will promptly delete such information.

Mind Mix uses Google AdMob to display advertisements in the free version of the app. Important details:
