1. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our service addresses users under the age of 18 (“child”/ “children”) as well as users above the age of 18. Therefore, in the context of this Privacy Policy when the term “you”/ “your” is used it will address the user who is above 18 years of age, or if the user is a child it will address the child’s parent/guardian.

The App does not process or collect personal data of children. Personal data is data that will allow us to identify your child. We may require your child’s/your personal data to be entered for purposes of creating your account, however this data will be irreversibly anonymised in such a way that neither Dialog nor any of our third-party service providers will be able to view or collect that personal information in its original form.

The only exception to the above is in relation to your mobile phone number which will be processed by us in an encrypted form in order for us to provide you with the services via the App.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child/children have provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us at service@dialog.lk.
