Privacy Policy for Brga - Family
Last updated: June 21, 2026
Section 11 ("Future Feature Disclosures") is a standing placeholder for features not yet built; it will be completed before any such feature ships.
This Privacy Policy describes how Mukhammadjon Yorkinov, an individual developer based in the Republic of Uzbekistan ("Company", "We", "Us", "Our"), operating the Brga - Family mobile application (the "Application" or "Service"), collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects information about parents and children who use the Service.
Brga - Family is a parental-control and family-safety application that allows a parent ("Parent User") to monitor the location, device activity, and safety of a child ("Child User") through a companion installation on the child's device. By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with:
- the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Personal Data" No. ЗРУ-547 dated July 2, 2019, as amended (including the 2021 amendments on localization of personal data of citizens of Uzbekistan);
- the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Informatization";
- where applicable to Users outside Uzbekistan, internationally recognized data protection principles (e.g., GDPR, COPPA) for cross-border use of the Service.
1. Interpretation and Definitions
Definitions
- Account — a unique parent account created to access the Service.
- Application / Service — the Brga - Family mobile application and any related websites, APIs, or support channels.
- Child User — a minor whose device is connected to a Parent User's Account for monitoring purposes.
- Company — Mukhammadjon Yorkinov, an individual developer based in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Service is currently operated by an individual and is not provided through a separately registered legal entity.
- Country — Republic of Uzbekistan.
- Personal Data — any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined by Law No. ЗРУ-547.
- Owner of the Personal Data Database — the Company, in its capacity as the entity determining the purpose and content of processing of Personal Data within the Service, as defined under Uzbek law.
- Parent User — the adult who registers, owns, and administers the Account and the child profile(s) linked to it.
- Service Provider — any third party that processes data on the Company's behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, push notification providers).
- You — the Parent User or, where context requires, the Child User.
2. Data We Collect
2.1. Data Provided by the Parent User
When You register an Account, We may collect:
- Full name, phone number, and/or email address;
- Password (stored in encrypted/hashed form);
- Billing data necessary to process subscription payments (processed by our payment provider; We do not store full card numbers);
- Child profile information You create: nickname, age/date of birth, avatar.
2.2. Data Collected from the Child's Device
To provide the Service's core safety features, the companion app installed on the Child User's device collects, only with the Parent User's setup and the permissions granted on the device:
- Geolocation data (GPS/Wi-Fi/cell-based), including location history needed to show the child's location and movement on a map;
- Device and connectivity data: battery level, network/Wi-Fi status, device model and OS version, unique device identifiers;
- Installed application data and screen-time data, used to power app usage limits and reports for the Parent User;
- Contacts list, used only to populate parent-configured allow/SOS lists for calls and messages;
- SOS / emergency alerts triggered by the Child User, including the location and time of the alert;
- Ambient audio ("listen around"), where the Parent User enables it — live audio relayed from the Child User's device for a short, parent-triggered check-in. This feature, its duration, and its retention treatment are fully described in the Brga - Kids Privacy Policy, Section 3.2, which applies to this data in full.
- Camera/photo capture, biometric sensors, and open messaging with third parties are not features of the current Service. If any such feature is built in the future, it will be added here — with a corresponding update notice and a revised "Last updated" date — before it is enabled for any User.
We do not knowingly collect special categories of data (health, religious, biometric, or political data) about Child Users.
2.3. Usage and Diagnostic Data
Automatically collected when using the Service: IP address, crash logs, app version, push-notification tokens, and aggregated interaction analytics.
2.4. Data We Do Not Collect
We do not store audio recordings or photos captured from the Child User's device on Our servers beyond what is strictly necessary to transmit them to the connected Parent User in real time, unless explicitly stated otherwise in a feature-specific notice.
3. How We Use Data
We use collected data to:
- Provide and maintain core Service features (location sharing, SOS alerts, screen-time controls);
- Create and manage Parent User Accounts and linked Child profiles;
- Process subscription payments and manage billing;
- Send safety alerts, service notifications, and (with consent) marketing communications;
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of the Terms of Use;
- Comply with legal obligations under Uzbek and, where applicable, other jurisdictions' law;
- Improve the Service through aggregated, de-identified analytics.
We do not use Child User data for targeted advertising, and We do not sell Personal Data to third parties.
4. Legal Basis and Consent (Children's Privacy)
4.1. Brga - Family is designed for use by Parent Users to monitor minors under their parental authority or guardianship. By setting up a Child profile, the Parent User represents that they are the parent or legal guardian of the Child User, or are otherwise legally authorized to consent to the processing of the child's Personal Data.
4.2. We rely on the Parent User's consent, given during account and child-profile setup, as the legal basis for collecting and processing the Child User's data under Uzbek law and, where the Service is used in other jurisdictions, under applicable child-data frameworks (e.g., COPPA, GDPR Art. 8).
4.3. The Service does not permit a Child User to independently create an Account or consent to data processing.
4.4. If We become aware that a Child User's data has been collected without the involvement and consent of a Parent User, We will delete such data promptly.
4.5. Child Users are notified, where technically feasible (e.g., via an on-device indicator), that location tracking and other monitoring features are active.
5. Data Localization and Storage (Uzbekistan)
5.1. In accordance with Law No. ЗРУ-547 and its 2021 amendments, the Company stores and processes Personal Data of Uzbek citizens on technical infrastructure (servers/databases) located within the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
5.2. Where the Service is used outside Uzbekistan, or where a Service Provider's infrastructure is located abroad, We take contractual and technical measures (e.g., encryption in transit, data processing agreements) to ensure an equivalent level of protection before any cross-border transfer.
5.3. The Service is currently operated by Mukhammadjon Yorkinov as an individual developer, not through a separately registered legal entity. The Company will complete any applicable registration as an owner/operator of a personal data database with the competent state authority of the Republic of Uzbekistan before offering the Service to Users in any jurisdiction where such registration is legally required, and not merely as a matter of future discretion.
6. Data Retention
- Account data: retained while the Account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal, accounting, or dispute-resolution obligations.
- Location history: retained only for the period necessary to provide the Service (e.g., recent location trail), after which it is deleted or aggregated/anonymized, unless a longer period is required by law or an active SOS/incident investigation.
- Usage/diagnostic data: retained for a limited period for security and quality purposes, then deleted or anonymized.
7. Sharing and Disclosure of Data
We may share data:
- With the connected Parent User: a Child User's location, alerts, and activity data are shared exclusively with the Parent User(s) linked to that child's profile.
- With Service Providers: hosting, analytics, crash-reporting, push-notification, and payment processors acting under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
- For legal reasons: to comply with a legal obligation, valid request from Uzbek or foreign public authorities, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, Users, or the public.
- In a business transfer: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to continued protection under this Policy or a successor policy with prior notice.
We never share Child User Personal Data for advertising or marketing purposes.
8. Security of Data
We apply technical and organizational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and employee confidentiality obligations — to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and We cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
Subject to verification of identity, You (as a Parent User, on Your own behalf and on behalf of a linked Child User) have the right to:
- Access a copy of the Personal Data We hold about You/Your child;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Request deletion of Personal Data, subject to legal retention obligations;
- Withdraw consent to processing at any time, which may limit or disable certain Service features;
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest;
- Lodge a complaint with the competent personal-data protection authority of the Republic of Uzbekistan, or, where applicable, Your local supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, contact Us using the details in Section 13.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or integrate third-party SDKs (e.g., analytics, crash reporting, payment processing). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. We encourage You to review their privacy policies.
11. Future Feature Disclosures
Every feature currently offered through the Service — including ambient audio check-ins — is disclosed in this Policy or the Brga - Kids Privacy Policy referenced above. If the Company builds a feature that differs from standard parental-control functionality (e.g., modified geofencing behavior, additional sensors, chat features, or AI-based content filtering), this section will be completed with a specific disclosure, and the "Last updated" date revised, before that feature is released to Users.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through an in-app notice and/or email to the Parent User prior to taking effect, and the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
