Children's Privacy Policy
Aevum Encyclopedia is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children who access or use our platform. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard personal information from users under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and outlines the rights of parents and guardians.
1. Our Commitment to Children's Safety
We design Aevum Encyclopedia to be a safe, educational, and age-appropriate environment. We strictly comply with applicable laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and relevant international regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
2. Information We Collect
When a child uses our platform, we may collect the following types of information:
- Usage Data: Pages viewed, articles read, search queries, and interaction patterns to improve educational content.
- Account Information: If a child creates an account, we collect only a username, email address (verified), and date of birth (to verify age).
- Device Information: IP address, browser type, and device identifiers for security and analytics purposes.
Note: We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., full names, physical addresses, school names, or payment information) from children without explicit parental permission.
3. How We Use Information
Information collected from children is used solely for:
- Delivering and personalizing educational content
- Ensuring platform safety and preventing inappropriate interactions
- Improving search algorithms and knowledge recommendations
- Complying with legal and safety obligations
We never sell, rent, or trade children's personal information to third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.
4. Parental Consent & Control
Before collecting personal information from a child, we require verifiable parental consent through secure methods such as email verification, credit card confirmation, or government-issued ID review (processed securely).
Parents and guardians retain full rights to:
- Review their child's collected information
- Request deletion of data at any time
- Opt out of data collection beyond account functionality
- Disable personalized recommendations or tracking features
5. Third-Party Services & External Links
Aevum Encyclopedia may contain links to educational resources or partner sites. These third-party platforms operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage parents to review those policies and supervise children's online activities. We are not responsible for the practices of external websites.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to protect children's data. All data is stored securely and retained only as long as necessary for educational service delivery or legal compliance.
