Last updated: 7 April 2020

The L.A.U.G.H.® Application (the App) and the services and products offered therein (collectively, the “Service”) is an App for children of all ages to engage in art-based mindfulness activities. While using the App, children will practice mindful breathing and create and share art work. This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, and shared when you install the App or use the Service.

Personal Information the Service Collects

When you install the L.A.U.G.H.® App, we do not collect any personal information from you.

Once you have installed the L.A.U.G.H.® App and use the Service, we do not collect any personal information from you or about you.

When you use the Service to upload creative assets including, but not limited to, images, videos, and text, we store these creative assets on third party cloud storage networks, in particular the Google Cloud Platform.  By installing the L.A.U.G.H.® App and using the Service, you agree to abide by the Google Cloud Platform Privacy Policy (available at: https://cloud.google.com/security/privacy) and the Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service (available at: https://cloud.google.com/terms).  We also agree to, and do, abide by the Google Cloud Platform Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

If your use of the Service is found to be in violation of the Google Cloud Platform Privacy Policy or The Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service, we reserve the right to take appropriate corrective action, including, but not limited to, suspension or permanent deactivation of your account on the Service in order to ensure our compliance with the policies and practices of our third party cloud storage provider.

Information We May Collect From You

The L.A.U.G.H.® App uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. This information helps us understand how the App is being used, so we can make improvements and correct errors.

The following information is collected:

  • Duration of time on each sequence
  • How often the skip or return to home actions are taken
  • Specified volume when the App launches
  • Choices in the drawing panel
  • If the App should crash, a report is sent to help us understand the issue

The App version used, the iOS version used, and the type of device is also collected. Please note that no personal information is collected. No location data is collected, except for the name of the country you are in when using the app. All information collected is completely anonymous. Google Analytics does not collect the UDID of your device.

These types of statistics help us develop a better App and improve your user experience.  You  may stop all statistics collection from all Google Analytics-enabled apps on your device. This service from Google Analytics is accessible on this web page https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-opt-out.

The Catherine Mayer Foundation does not disclose any personal information to third parties, except to comply with lawful requests from authorities, as more fully set out in the Terms and Conditions of Use.  The anonymous usage statistics collected using Google Analytics is governed by the Privacy Policy of Google LLC: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

For children under the age of thirteen (13):

  • No personal information will be collected until the consent of the legal representative of the child has been obtained.
  • No personal data will be released to third persons without express consent from the legal representative of the child.

We may change this Privacy Policy every now and then. But when we do, we’ll let you know one way or another.
