Introduction

This Privacy Policy serves as a foundational document for Koala Playground, articulating the company’s commitment to safeguarding the personal information of its visitors and online users.

The primary objective of this policy is to inform individuals about the comprehensive practices employed by Koala Playground concerning the collection, utilization, sharing, and protection of personal data.

A clear and transparent privacy policy is not merely a legal obligation; it is a critical instrument for fostering trust with users, particularly parents who are entrusting Koala Playground with their children’s safety and personal data.

For an indoor playground, where the well-being and privacy of children are paramount, a robust and reassuring purpose statement at the outset can significantly enhance brand perception and parental confidence in the company’s data stewardship practices.

This initial declaration sets a tone of accountability and care, influencing how the entire document, and by extension the brand, is perceived.

Koala Playground is dedicated to providing engaging and safe indoor playground experiences for families. This policy applies to all interactions with Koala Playground, whether through its physical facilities, website, or associated services.

Information We Collect

Koala Playground collects various categories of personal information to deliver its services, enhance user experiences, and ensure operational safety. The collection methods encompass direct interactions, automated technologies, and trusted third-party sources.

A detailed understanding of these data streams is crucial for accurate policy drafting and robust compliance, particularly when considering diverse legal frameworks such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The categorization of data points, especially under CCPA requirements, necessitates a thorough internal data mapping exercise.

This involves systematically identifying all data touchpoints, including those from physical operations and third-party software, to ensure a granular understanding of what is collected, thereby strengthening overall data governance.

Types of Personal Information Collected

Koala Playground collects personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could be linked or associated with a consumer or household. The categories of personal information collected include:

Sources of Personal Information

The personal information collected by Koala Playground originates from various sources:

Information Collected from Children (Under 13)

Koala Playground recognizes the critical need for heightened privacy protections concerning personal information collected from children under 13 years of age, as mandated by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).  

Koala Playground does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 for marketing purposes without verifiable parental consent. If any features of the Koala Playground website or services are age-gated and not intended for use by children, this will be clearly stated, and technical measures will be implemented to prevent the collection of children’s data through those specific features.  

A significant aspect of COPPA is the “actual knowledge” clause. Even if Koala Playground does not explicitly

intend to target children online, if it has actual knowledge that children are using its website or services (e.g., through analytics data or user-generated content), COPPA regulations become applicable. This means a proactive approach to identifying and managing children’s online interactions is essential, rather than a reactive one.

Given that Koala Playground is an indoor playground, its primary customer base inherently includes children and their parents. It is highly probable that children, even indirectly, may interact with the website.

Therefore, Koala Playground must assume a potential for “actual knowledge” of children’s online presence. This necessitates a proactive design approach for the entire website, not just age-gated sections.

Koala Playground should implement safeguards, such as clear age verification prompts, robust verifiable parental consent mechanisms, or strict data minimization practices for all users, across its platform to ensure compliance from the outset, rather than solely reacting to a potential “actual knowledge” trigger.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

This table provides a comprehensive overview of the types of personal information collected by Koala Playground, categorized in accordance with privacy regulations, and offers specific examples relevant to the indoor playground environment. This structured presentation enhances clarity for users and demonstrates systematic data management.

How We Use Your Information

Koala Playground utilizes the collected personal information for specific, legitimate purposes, adhering to principles of purpose limitation and transparency. Each use case is clearly defined to ensure that data processing aligns with user expectations and legal requirements.

Purposes for Collection and Use

Specific Uses for Children’s Data

Koala Playground adheres to strict principles when handling data pertaining to children under 13. The collection of personal information from children is limited to no more than what is reasonably necessary to facilitate their participation in an online activity. This “limited collection” principle for children’s data signifies that Koala Playground must actively review its data collection forms and processes to avoid over-collection. This goes beyond merely identifying  

what data is collected, extending to how much is collected and why it is necessary. This approach can lead to adopting a broader design principle of “data minimization” for all user interactions, not just those involving children, as a general best practice. By collecting less data overall, Koala Playground can reduce its data footprint, which consequently lowers security risks, simplifies data management, and streamlines compliance with various regulations, making the entire privacy program more efficient and robust.

Any data collected from children under 13, with verifiable parental consent, is used solely for the specific purpose for which consent was obtained (e.g., participation in a particular online game or account creation for a child-specific feature). Koala Playground does not knowingly use children’s data for targeted advertising or profiling for marketing purposes without explicit parental consent.  

How We Share Your Information

Koala Playground may share personal information under specific circumstances, always with an emphasis on transparency and adherence to purpose limitation principles. Strict measures are in place to ensure that any sharing of data is consistent with this policy and applicable legal requirements.

Sharing with Third-Party Service Providers

Koala Playground engages trusted third-party service providers to perform various functions on its behalf and to assist in operating the business efficiently. These providers are integral to delivering services and may include:

Koala Playground shares only the information necessary for these third parties to perform their designated services and contractually requires them to protect personal information consistent with this policy and all applicable laws.  

Sharing within Our Business Group (if applicable)

Should Koala Playground operate as part of a larger corporate group, personal data may be shared internally among group entities. This sharing is conducted for legitimate internal administrative purposes, corporate strategy development, auditing, and monitoring activities.  

Legal and Business Transfers

Personal information may be disclosed in connection with the sale, merger, acquisition, or reorganization of all or a portion of Koala Playground’s business assets. In such instances, personal information held by Koala Playground would be among the transferred assets.  

Additionally, Koala Playground may disclose information when legally required by law, court order, or governmental regulation. Disclosure may also occur if Koala Playground believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect its rights, property, or safety, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of its users or the general public.  

Disclosure of Children’s Information

Koala Playground adheres to stringent regulations regarding the sharing of children’s personal information, particularly under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). Koala Playground does not sell or share personal information of children under 16 years old if it has actual knowledge of their age, unless explicit affirmative authorization (“opt-in”) is obtained. For children between 13 and 16 years old, the child themselves can provide this opt-in consent. For children under 13, verifiable consent must be obtained from their parent or legal guardian.  

The distinction between “selling” and “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA is critical, especially concerning children’s data. The term “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA is broadly defined and can encompass activities such as providing data to third-party advertising or analytics partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, even if no direct monetary exchange occurs.

This means Koala Playground must meticulously audit all its data flows, particularly those involving marketing, analytics, and any third-party integrations, to determine if they constitute “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA. If such activities are identified, the required “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism must explicitly cover these data flows.

This is particularly crucial for children’s data, where the default position should be no sale or sharing unless explicit, verifiable opt-in consent is obtained from the parent or eligible minor. This highlights the necessity for a nuanced understanding of legal definitions and their practical application to all business operations.  

Any sharing of children’s data, even with service providers, will be strictly limited to the purposes for which parental consent was obtained and will rigorously adhere to all COPPA requirements.

This section clearly outlines the rights available to users, with specific attention to the enhanced privacy rights granted to California residents and the protections afforded to parents under COPPA.
