Children's Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to provide and improve our educational services:

• Account Information: Username, age, grade level, and a guardian's verified email address.
• Learning Data: Course progress, quiz scores, completed assignments, and educational preferences.
• Technical Data: Device type, browser information, IP address, and usage analytics (all anonymized where possible).
• Communications: Messages sent through our in-app support or parent-teacher messaging features.

We do not collect social security numbers, financial information, or precise geolocation data from children.

2. How We Use the Information

All data collected is used strictly for educational and safety purposes:

• Personalizing learning paths and content recommendations
• Tracking academic progress and generating achievement certificates
• Maintaining a safe, moderated learning environment
• Communicating important updates to parents/guardians
• Improving course materials and platform functionality

3. Parental Consent & Control

We require verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing any personal information from a child under 13. Parents and guardians can:

1. Review the information we hold about their child
2. Request deletion or modification of any personal data
3. Opt out of data collection for non-essential purposes
4. Disable personalized learning features at any time
5. Close the child's account permanently through the Parent Dashboard

To exercise these rights, please contact our Privacy Team using the information provided below.

4. How We Protect Your Child's Information

Child safety is our top priority. We implement industry-leading security measures including:

• AES-256 encryption for data at rest and in transit
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to necessary data only
• Regular third-party security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Automated monitoring to detect and prevent unauthorized access
• Strict data minimization practices—we only retain data as long as needed

5. Information Sharing & Third Parties

We never sell, trade, or rent children's personal information. We only share data with trusted educational partners (e.g., secure cloud hosting, progress analytics providers) under strict contractual obligations that prohibit secondary use, require equivalent security standards, and mandate data deletion upon contract termination. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of children.

6. Children's Rights & Data Retention

Children and their guardians have the right to access, correct, export, or request deletion of personal data. When an account is deleted, all associated learning records, profiles, and communications are permanently erased from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is legally required (e.g., tax or compliance records).

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Children's Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. All updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. For material changes, we will provide advance notice to parents and guardians via email or platform notification.
