This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Kidenga (“Kidenga,” “we,” or “us”) when you access or use our website, mobile applications and related online services (collectively, the “Services”), or when you otherwise interact with us.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice such as sending you a notification through our Services. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access our Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

We collect information you provide directly to us via the Services.
