Accounts may only be created by adults.
Children do not create accounts themselves.
Parents are solely responsible for the child profiles they create and manage.
3. Our Data Minimisation Approach
We apply the principle of data minimisation under Article 5 GDPR.
We only collect personal data that is necessary to provide the core functionality of coordinating playground meet-ups.

- Email address
- Password (encrypted)
Purpose:

Parents may create a child profile including:

Purpose:
- Facilitating connections between families

By creating a child profile, the parent confirms they are the legal guardian and consent to the processing of the child’s personal data.
5. Playground Check-Ins & Visibility
When a parent checks in at a playground:
- The child’s first name and picture, and check-in information is visible to other parents whose children have been added as “friends”.
- Connected “friends” may receive notifications (push and/or email).
- Check-in information is self-declared by parents.

We recommend that parents only connect with families they know personally.
6. Visibility, Search & Friend Connections
Play Play Play! operates within a closed environment accessible only to registered parent users.
Child profiles are never publicly searchable or accessible outside the app.
A. Search Functionality

- City
When a profile matches the search criteria, the following information may be visible to the searching parent:

Search functionality is designed to help parents connect with families they already know (for example, through school or existing community relationships).
Search results are only visible to authenticated parent users.

Parents may remove friendships at any time.
