Age Ratings & Child Safety

1. Our Commitment to Child Safety

Stika Studio is committed to creating safe digital experiences for users of all ages. We follow the child safety requirements of both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, as well as applicable regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR-K (GDPR provisions for children).

This page explains the age ratings assigned to our apps, what content those ratings reflect, and how we protect younger users.

2. App Age Ratings

Each of our apps has been rated by Apple and Google based on its content, features, and data practices. Ratings are displayed on the App Store and Google Play listing pages.

Age ratings may be updated when significant new features are added. Always check the latest rating on the app's store listing page.

3. Content Standards

All Stika Studio apps are designed with the following content standards:

• Puzzle, educational, and utility content - no violent or adult content
• In-App Purchases (subscription) - visible to parents via Screen Time / Family Link
• Where advertising is shown, no personalised ads are served to users under 13
• Internet connection required for certain features; core features available offline where possible

4. Children Under 13 (COPPA)

None of our Services are directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has created an account or provided personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will:

• Delete the account and all associated personal data
• Terminate any active subscription and arrange a refund where applicable
• Notify the parent or guardian if contact information is available

If you believe your child under 13 is using one of our apps, please contact us immediately at contact@stikastudio.com.

5. Children Under 16 (GDPR-K - EEA / UK)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, the minimum age for consent to data processing is 16 (or lower in some member states, with a minimum of 13). Where a user is under 16, we require verifiable parental or guardian consent before collecting or processing personal data.

We do not serve personalised advertising to users we identify as under 16 in the EEA/UK.

6. Advertising and Children

Our free apps may display ads served by third-party networks (e.g. Google AdMob). We have configured our ad requests to:

• Tag ad requests as child-directed (tagForChildDirectedTreatment / TFCD) where appropriate
• Tag ad requests for users under the age of consent (tagForUnderAgeOfConsent / TFUA) for EEA/UK users
• Disable personalised advertising for younger audiences
• Comply with Google's Families Policy and Apple's Kids Category guidelines

7. Parental Controls and Supervision

We recommend parents and guardians use the built-in parental control tools provided by Apple and Google to manage their child's app usage and purchases:

8. App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS 14.5 and later, our apps that use advertising present an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before collecting any identifier used for tracking. You or your child can choose to deny tracking - non-personalised ads will be shown instead and no identifier is shared with ad networks.

If you previously allowed tracking and wish to revoke it, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and toggle off the relevant app.

9. Reporting Concerns

If you encounter any content or behaviour in our apps that you believe is inappropriate for the stated age rating, or if you have concerns about a child's use of our Services, please contact us:

10. Updates to This Page

We will update this page whenever our app ratings change or when relevant regulations are updated. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
