Welcome to Aaya! We are committed to protecting your family's privacy and handling your data with the highest standards of care. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our childcare management platform. Our approach is privacy-first, meaning we minimize data collection and maximize your control.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide safe, effective childcare management services:

Personal Account Information

Name, email, phone number, and profile details you provide during registration. This helps us create your secure account and communicate important updates.

Child & Caregiver Profiles

Information about children (names, ages, allergies, medical needs, preferences) and nannies (contact details, schedules, rates). You are responsible for obtaining consent before providing information about others.

Financial & Payment Data

Payment amounts, dates, and transaction records. We use secure third-party processors whose privacy policies govern payment card data you provide directly to them.

Technical Usage Information

IP address, device type, browser information, and app usage patterns to maintain security and improve our service.

AI Assistant Interactions

Conversations with our AI assistant for activity suggestions, meal planning, and scheduling help. Privacy-First Approach: Only essential, often anonymized information is shared with AI providers. Your identity is protected through advanced anonymization techniques.

3. Information Sharing

Parent Control: Parents maintain full control over their children's information and can request access, correction, or deletion at any time.
