  • You can manage or cancel your subscription through your device's app store settings at any time.
  • Refunds are handled according to the policies of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  • We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing cycle.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose: managing your family's digital wellbeing. You may not:

7. Children's Privacy

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations. All child data is collected with parental consent and is managed exclusively by the parent account holder. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle children's information.

8. Location Services

Location tracking features require explicit parental opt-in. Location data is used solely for the purpose of providing safety features (real-time tracking and safety zone alerts) and is never shared with third parties for advertising or sold to data brokers. Parents may disable location tracking at any time through the App settings.

9. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the App — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, and software — are owned by Tap Guardian Inc. and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the App.

10. Disclaimers

  • The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
  • We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
  • Tap Guardian is a tool to assist parenting — it does not replace parental supervision and responsibility.
  • Location accuracy may vary due to device hardware, network conditions, and environmental factors.
  • We are not responsible for any decisions made based on information provided by the App.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tap Guardian Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or profits arising from your use of the App. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.
