CypherEdge Pvt. Ltd. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “CypherEdge”) is committed to protecting children’s privacy. This Child Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information related to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your region) when they use our “Direct Message” app.
1. About “Direct Message” App
“Direct Message” allows users to:
• Send WhatsApp messages without saving the recipient’s phone number.
• Share their current location on WhatsApp directly.
• Utilize location services to enhance messaging and sharing functionality.
2. Children’s Data Collection
Our “Direct Message” app and services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, use, or store personal data from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.
If you believe that we may have unintentionally collected information from a child, please contact us at admin@cypheredge.com, and we will promptly remove the data.
3. Location Data & Privacy
To enable location-sharing features, our app may access and process location data. However, this data is used solely for sharing through WhatsApp and is not stored by us.
• Location access is user-controlled: The app only accesses location data if the user explicitly grants permission.
• No tracking or background collection: We do not store or process location data outside of its intended use.
• No sharing with third parties: Location data is not sold, shared, or used for advertising.
4. Parental Controls & Responsibility
We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s app usage and educate them about privacy risks. If a parent or guardian discovers that their child has used our app or shared personal information, they should contact us at admin@cypheredge.com to request deletion.

CypherEdge complies with child privacy regulations, including:
• The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (for U.S. users).
