PARENT'S GUIDE

1. CHILDREN'S ACCESS AND PARENTAL CONSENT

Required Parental Consent
Children under the age of 16 (or any higher age of digital consent applicable in your jurisdiction) must obtain explicit and informed consent from a parent or legal guardian before playing any GAMEGEARS LTD games ("our Games" or "the Services"). We provide guidance on how to grant this consent within each project and in our Privacy Policy. You may also contact us at support@gamegears.com to provide or withdraw consent.

Age Verification
We do not generally employ specialized age-verification processes for minimal data usage. If we discover that a child is using our Games without proper parental consent, we will either request such consent promptly or take steps to delete or anonymize the child's personal data, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2. WHY GAMEGEARS LTD GAMES CAN BE GREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Our Games can offer entertaining and educational experiences for players of all ages. We encourage parents to learn about the nature of our games, especially because many of them include:

• Online Features: Such as leaderboards, multiplayer modes, or chat functions.
• Interaction with Other Users: Players may connect with friends or strangers online.
• Optional In-Game Purchases: To enhance gameplay.

As a parent or guardian, it is important to stay informed about what your children are playing and to make suitable decisions regarding their engagement with our Games.

3. HOW WE PROTECT CHILDREN'S DATA

No Knowing Collection from Children Under 16
Consistent with our Privacy Policy, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without the required parental or guardian consent. If such data is inadvertently collected, we will delete it as soon as possible.

Respect and Transparency
We respect all our players, including minors, and strive to maintain high standards of data security. Our Privacy Policy details the nature of the data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Family-Friendly Content
We provide basic information about game content (and relevant age guidelines or ratings, where available) so parents can make well-informed decisions.

Dedicated Support
If you or your child encounter any issues, you can reach out to us at support@gamegears.com. We aim to address all inquiries promptly.

4. WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR DATA PRACTICES

Legal Bases for Processing
As specified in our Privacy Policy, we process personal data to:

• Fulfill contractual obligations (e.g., enabling gameplay).
• Obtain parental or user consent (where required, such as for analytics or marketing).
• Serve our legitimate interests (e.g., security, preventing fraud).
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax requirements).

Minimal Data Collection
We only collect data necessary to operate, improve, and secure our Games. This can include device identifiers, IP addresses, and certain gameplay analytics.

No Sale of Personal Data
We do not sell personal data—whether of adults or children—to third parties for commercial purposes.

Control Over Your Child's Data
Parents and guardians have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of their child's personal data. You can also withdraw consent at any time. See our Privacy Policy for instructions on how to exercise these rights.

5. AGE LIMITS AND GAMEPLAY

5.1 Age Limits

General Approach
Our Games may not be specifically designed for children under 16; some titles may feature age guidelines or content ratings. Please review these ratings before allowing your child to play.

Parental or Guardian Permission
By allowing your child to access our Games, you confirm that you are aware of the content, features, and data practices, and that you consent to any minimal data processing required for gameplay.

5.2 In-Game Interactions

Multiplayer & Chat
Many of our Games include social elements like chat or cooperative gameplay. Remind children never to share personal information (e.g., real name, address, phone number) with strangers online.

Community and Moderation
We implement moderation measures (including content filters and account reporting) to foster a positive environment. If you see inappropriate content or behavior, please report it to support@gamegears.com.

6. IN-APP PURCHASES

Optional Purchases
While our Games are often free to download, they may include optional in-app purchases that enhance game progress or customization. These purchases are not required to play.

Payment Handling
Purchases are processed by the respective app store or an authorized payment provider. GAMEGEARS LTD does not store or process credit card information directly.

Prevent Unauthorized Transactions
To avoid accidental or unauthorized purchases, use device-level settings (e.g., password protection or parental controls) to restrict or disable in-app purchases.

Refund Policy
Generally, in-game purchases are final and non-refundable, except where required by law or the specific platform's refund policy. For questions, contact support@gamegears.com.

7. ONLINE BULLYING OR HARASSMENT

Recognizing Cyberbullying
Signs can include sudden changes in mood, reluctance to go online, or a drop in self-esteem. Cyberbullying can occur if other players send harassing messages or repeatedly target your child.

Taking Action
Encourage your child to tell you immediately about any threatening or uncomfortable interactions. They can mute or block the offending user and report the behavior through our in-game reporting tools or by contacting support@gamegears.com.

If Your Child Is Bullying Others
Discuss appropriate online conduct and potential consequences. Help them develop empathy and respect for others, both offline and online.

8. PARENTING TIPS

Ongoing Conversations
Stay open and receptive to your child's experiences in our Games. Teach them about online privacy, respectful communication, and the importance of reporting uncomfortable situations.

Play Together
By playing alongside your child, you can learn game mechanics, community norms, and any risks firsthand.

Set Clear Boundaries
Use device settings or app store parental controls to limit purchases, screen time, or access to communication features if needed.

Monitor Interactions
Regularly discuss who your child is playing with, especially if they use chat or social features. Remind them to keep personal details private.

Prompt Reporting
If your child encounters any suspicious or inappropriate content, encourage them to screenshot it and notify you immediately. We can address these issues more effectively with prompt and detailed reports.
