Mentimeter's Privacy Principles for Kids

Hi there! We're Mentimeter, and we want to explain how we use information about you who are over the age of 13 when you use our app.

First things first, you can use Mentimeter in two different ways and the information we collect from you varies a lot depending on which one you choose:

  • The first way you can use Mentimeter is as a voter. That means joining a Menti to vote or ask a question, but not making your own Menti for other people to vote on.
  • The second way you can use Mentimeter is to make a Menti and present it for others to vote on. To do this you need to create an account with us, and it is important that you understand what information about you we collect when you do that

But how do we process your data when you vote and create an account?
