Junior Tycoon (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a mobile application designed to help teenagers and young adults learn basic business management skills. Protecting user privacy—especially the privacy of minors—is a core principle of our architecture.
This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the Junior Tycoon application.
1. The Dual-Track Privacy Architecture (Local-First vs. Cloud Sync)
Junior Tycoon operates on a dual-track data architecture designed to give you absolute control over your information:
Local-First (Default): The App functions entirely offline by default. If you do not create an account, we do not collect, transmit, sync, analyze, or store any user data on external servers. All data remains exclusively on your physical device.
Optional Cloud Sync (For Eligible Users): Users who meet their region's Digital Age of Consent (e.g., 13 in the US/Brazil, 14 in Canada/LATAM, 16 in Europe) may optionally create a secure account (via Firebase Authentication) to connect to the Tycoon Network and backup their business data to our secure servers. This unlocks social features and cross-device synchronization.
2. Information Entered by Users
The App allows users to voluntarily enter functional business information.
2.1 User Information
If you choose to create a Cloud Sync account, we securely collect:
Your Email Address (for authentication and account recovery)
Account UID
2.2 Client (Third-Party) Information
Users may enter information about their own real-world clients (e.g., Client Names, Phone Numbers, Addresses).
Users Under the Age of Consent: To strictly comply with global privacy laws, the App permanently blocks the transmission of third-party Client Information and social posts to our servers. For restricted minors, this data is air-gapped and remains 100% stored on the local device.
Eligible Tycoon Network Users: If you possess Digital Consent and enable Cloud Sync, your Client Information and Tycoon Hub profile are securely transmitted and encrypted on our backend servers. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have permission to store your clients' information. We do not sell, read, or monetize your clients' data.
2.3 Financial Information
Financial data (earnings, expenses, jobs) is stored locally. If Cloud Sync is enabled, this data is backed up to your secure account.
3. Data Storage, Security, & Retention
Cloud Infrastructure: Junior Tycoon uses Google Firebase to manage user accounts and secure cloud backups. All synced data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Data Deletion: You have the absolute right to delete your data. You may permanently delete your Cloud Sync account and wipe all associated data from our servers at any time directly from the Settings menu inside the App.
4. Device Permissions
Filesystem / Photos Access: Used to save PDF invoices or export local JSON backups.
Camera: Used for optional QR code or receipt scanning.
System Share Sheet: Used to share invoices natively. The App does not monitor or intercept content shared using these features.
5. Third-Party Services
RevenueCat (In-App Purchases): We use RevenueCat to manage optional subscriptions. RevenueCat processes anonymous purchase receipts to validate subscription status. We do not transmit your User Account or Client Data to RevenueCat.
App Stores: Payments are processed securely by Apple and Google.
6. No Analytics, Tracking, or Advertising
Junior Tycoon does not use behavioral analytics SDKs (e.g., Mixpanel), advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking technologies. Your activity is not tracked, profiled, or sold to advertisers.
7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA, GDPR-K, & LGPD)
Junior Tycoon complies with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the European GDPR-K, and Brazil's LGPD regarding the protection of minors.
Dynamic Age Gating: Upon onboarding, users must input their Birthdate and their Country/Region. The app calculates their exact age against their specific country's local digital consent laws (ranging from 12 to 16).
Protective Air-Gap: Users under the legal age of digital consent are completely barred from syncing third-party Personal Identifiable Information (PII) to our servers, and cannot interact with the social Tycoon Network. We do not knowingly collect, transmit, or extract PII from restricted minors. All minor-generated data remains physically isolated on their device under the control of their parent/guardian.
8. International Data Transfers
By utilizing the optional Cloud Sync feature, your encrypted data may be processed and stored on Google Firebase servers located in the United States or other regions.
9. Parental Supervision & Real-World Safety
Junior Tycoon is an educational tool. The App does not supervise, manage, or verify real-world interactions.
Children must have parental or guardian supervision when performing real-world jobs or contacting clients.
We do not monitor interactions between users and third parties.
By using the App, you acknowledge that Junior Tycoon is not responsible for any real-world accidents, disputes, or liabilities.
10. Sharing Data with Third-Party AI Services
Junior Tycoon utilizes Google Gemini, a third-party Artificial Intelligence service, to provide creative features under our "Marketing Hub" and "Messaging Center."
We only transmit non-personal contextual data (such as your fictional business name, selected service titles, and explicit custom text instructions) to Google Gemini to generate logos and message drafts.
User-Initiated Content: While our app architecture does not structurally require or request Personal Identifiable Information (PII) to be sent to the AI, users may voluntarily type an email address or personal detail into free-text "Custom Instruction" fields. Any such text entered by the user is transmitted to the AI provider strictly to fulfill the requested copywriting or branding task.
We explicitly do not programmatically collect or transmit personal contact lists, birthdates, financial ledgers, or payment histories to this AI service.
You will be asked for explicit in-app consent before any data is shared with Google Gemini.
