MAPLE ROOST COPPA PARENTAL CONSENT NOTICE

Last Updated: September 20, 2026
Version: 1.11.0

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

This notice explains how Maple Roost handles information about your child — what the app collects, how it is used and shared, the control you keep over it, and how you give and withdraw your consent. Maple Roost LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Maple Roost," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the Maple Roost baby tracking app. You — the parent or guardian — are the user of this app. The app collects information about your child only because you enter it. Please read this notice carefully before allowing your child's information to be collected through the Maple Roost app.

1. WHAT THIS NOTICE IS — AND WHAT COPPA IS

Maple Roost is an app for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it, children cannot create accounts or sign in, and no part of the app is built for a child to use. Everything the app holds about your child is there because you — the parent or guardian — chose to enter it. That is the shape of this service, and this notice describes what we do with what you enter.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law about personal information that online services collect from children under 13 — information a child gives a service about themselves. The Federal Trade Commission enforces it and publishes plain-language guidance at www.ftc.gov/coppa. We are not your lawyers, and this notice does not tell you how that law, or any other, applies to Maple Roost. What it does is tell you plainly what we actually do — which is true either way.

Here is the commitment underneath all of it. Before you add your child's profile — and so before the app collects anything about them — we show you a short summary of these promises, link you to this notice in full, and ask you to tick a box, never pre-checked, saying you understand how we look after your child's information. Ticking it is how you give your consent to what this notice describes; the app will not add your child until you do, and we keep a record that you did. If you join a child's record another parent already created, that record exists before you arrive, so we ask you for the same acknowledgment the next time you open the app. The separate promise that you are the child's parent or guardian, or have their permission, is the one you make in Section 3.2 of our Terms of Use when you create your account. Section 12 sets out exactly how we ask for and record all of this, and names the things we do not do. After that, you stay in control: you have the right to review, correct, export, and delete your child's information, and to withdraw your consent, at any time. Sections 5 and 8 explain how, and Section 10 is how to reach a person about it.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOUR CHILD

With your consent, you may enter the following information about your child through the app:

2.1 Information You Provide:

2.2 Information Automatically Collected:

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect:

Account security features such as two-factor authentication and the optional app lock apply to the parent's account and device. They collect no information from your child, and any biometric authentication is performed entirely by your device.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR CHILD'S INFORMATION

We use information about your child ONLY for the following purposes:

3.1 Core App Functions:

3.2 App Improvement:

3.3 Legal Compliance:

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR CHILD'S INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent personal information about your child for third-party marketing purposes. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, any successor entity is bound by this same commitment. We may share your child's information only in these limited circumstances:

4.1 With Your Authorization:

4.2 Service Providers:
We work with the following third-party services to operate the app. We use each of them under their own published terms of service and data-processing terms, for the purpose described:

4.3 Emergency Sharing You Initiate:
If you create an Emergency Card for your child, a sanitized subset of that child's medical information (for example, allergies, medications, conditions, and emergency contacts) is made available at a public web link encoded in a QR code, so first responders can access it without an account. You may optionally protect this link with a PIN. The link, the printed card, the Apple Wallet pass, and any NFC tag you write all carry this access and are shareable by you; anyone who has them can view the sanitized record until you regenerate the QR code. Insurance ID numbers, the PIN, and the underlying access token are never shown on the public page.

4.4 Legal Requirements:

4.5 Your Separate Authorization for Optional Sharing:

The consent you give when you add your child's profile — or, if you joined a child's record another parent created, at your next launch — authorizes us to collect and use your child's information to provide the app's core features. The optional sharing features above are off by default — each one requires a separate, deliberate action by you, and taking that action is your specific authorization for that disclosure:

You can revoke a Handoff at any time, and regenerate an Emergency Card link to invalidate links you shared before.

5. YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS

5.1 Review and Access:

12. HOW WE ASK FOR AND RECORD PARENTAL CONSENT

We ask for and record parental consent through the following two steps, which are the only steps we use:

We do not use credit-card verification, government ID verification, video calls, mailed or signed forms, a second confirming contact, or any other verification method at this time.

Maple Roost is designed for use only by adults, and children may not create accounts or use the App. Before a parent or guardian adds a child's information, we verify control of the adult's email address, make this notice available to read in full, require an affirmative acknowledgment that is never pre-checked, and record the consent event. The representation that you are the child's parent or legal guardian, or have their permission, is the one made in Section 3.2 of the Terms of Use. We may strengthen or change this process as legal requirements and available technologies evolve.

The email verification and checkbox acknowledgment above authorize the collection and use of your child's information to provide the app's core features. Any optional sharing of your child's information with a third party — for example, creating a Handoff (guest pass) or enabling an Emergency Card public link — is separately authorized by the deliberate action you take to enable it, as described in Section 4.5.

13. YOUR CONSENT

By completing email verification when you create your account and checking the acknowledgment box — when you add your child's profile, or at your next launch if you joined a child's record another parent created — you acknowledge that:

This consent is effective as of the date you complete the steps above and remains in effect until withdrawn. We will ask you to re-consent only if we make a material change to how we collect, use, or share your child's information.
