Privacy Policy
Effective as of September 9, 2016
We at MonKey FunKey Apps LLC (“FunKey,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) created this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) because we know that you care about how information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and use practices of MonKey FunKey Apps LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company in connection with your access to or use of: our mobile application known as ChimpKey (“ChimpKey”), our website located at www.chimpkeyboard.com (the “Site”), and any services and tools provided on, by, or in relation to, ChimpKey or the Site. ChimpKey, the Site, the services and tools, are collectively referred to as the “Services” in this Privacy Policy.
We strive to educate parents and kids about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Services. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we knowingly allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use our Services. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information through our Services, and we recommend that parents discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of personal information (e.g., first name, last name, birthday, email address, home address, etc.) to anyone they don’t know.
By accessing or using our Services, or by permitting your child to access or use our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Use. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Use.
Information We Collect
Personal Information
We do not collect any personal information from you unless you voluntarily provide it to us.
When you (a “User”) initially download ChimpKey to your mobile device or when you visit the Site, you will be asked whether you wish to receive news and updates about the Services. If you elect to do so, you’ll be asked to provide your email address. Receipt of news has no effect on access to or use of the Services. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to your email address as “Personal Information.” Other your email address, we do not collect any Personal Information from Users.
MonKey does not collect or solicit any information, including any personally identifiable information, from anyone actually known to be under the age of 13 without the involvement of a parent or guardian. Although we do not affirmatively encourage or invite use of the Services by children under the age of 13, we recognize that some may attempt to use our Services. Since we do not require users to register in order to use ChimpKey*, there is no Personal Information collected by us from the use of ChimpKey+. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without parental consent, we will notify the child’s parent or guardian using the e-mail address (if one has been provided by the User+), alerting the parent or guardian to the child’s use of the Services, and we will delete the Personal Information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have Personal Information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at chimpkeyboard@gmail.com
MonKey does not knowingly use personally identifying information collected from children for marketing or promotional purposes, and does not knowingly disclose such information to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.
* – In-app purchases do require provision of credit card and related information, and is used only for the purpose of payment for such purchases. See Disclosure of Personal and Payment Information to Third Parties, below.
+ – As explained above, we do offer to send users who provide an email address to us information from time to time about new features of, and other news about, ChimpKey.
Usage Information
Usage Metrics: We do not directly gather information about you (e.g., the areas you visit on our website, your IP address, where you go on the World Wide Web). However, we may use Google Analytics to monitor usage metrics (“Usage Information”). Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of www.chimpkeyboard.com, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. We do not control tracking technologies or other practices used by Google Analytics to collect information about you when you use ChimpKey.

Disclosure of Personal and Payment Information to Third Parties
We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
We, like many businesses, sometimes hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples include mailing information, maintaining databases and hosting services. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, which may include Personal Information.
We use a third party service provider to receive your Payment Information and process your payment. The third party service provider stores your Payment Information; we do not receive or store this information. Storage by the third party service provider of your Payment Information is subject to the privacy policies and practices of the third party service provider and is not subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. By providing your Payment Information, you acknowledge and agree to use of such information by the third party service provider for purposes of processing your payment to us.
If we or all or substantially all of our assets are acquired, we expect that the information that we have collected, including Personal Information, would be transferred along with our other business assets.
We may disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information to government authorities and to other third parties when compelled to do so by government authorities, at our sole discretion, or otherwise as required by law, including but not limited to in response to court orders and subpoenas. We may also disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information when we have reason to believe that someone is or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other users of this Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
How We Protect Your Information
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to or from us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
Accessing and Modifying Account Information
We strive to help parents ensure that their kids have a safe experience using our Services. Parents or legal guardians can review any Personal Information collected about their child under 13 years of age, have this information deleted, request that there be no further collection or use of their child’s Personal Information, and/or allow for our collection and use of their child’s Personal Information. To request any of the foregoing actions, please email us at chimpkeyboard@gmail.com, with “CHILD INFORMATION” in the subject line. We take steps to verify the identity of anyone requesting information about a child and to ensure that the person is in fact the child’s parent or legal guardian.

Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents who have an established business relationship with us may choose to opt out of our sharing their contact information with third parties for direct marketing purposes.
