The last update to our Privacy Notice was posted on 10/20/2020.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under the age of 13. COPPA also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children under the age of 13 to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on our website. We offer users a number of activities, some of which are directed at children under the age of 13.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under the age of 16 in some member countries of the European Union. The GDPR also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on our website.

Verifiable Parental Consent
Should we want to collect personal information from a child, COPPA and the GDPR requires that we first obtain a parent or legal guardian’s consent. In an email (or other approved method) sent to the parent or legal guardian, we will describe what information we would like
to collect, how we propose to use it, how the parent can offer and cancel consent. If we do not obtain consent from the parent within a reasonable timeframe, we will remove the child and parent information collected with the request.

Teacher Consent in Replace of a Parent
For school-based activities, school administrators and teachers are allowed to act on behalf of the parents to give consent when collecting personal information from children. Teachers and school administrators should always inform parents when collecting personal information from children on their behalf.

Information We Collect From Children, How We Use It, and Parental Rights

Registration
Children can be registered with our website to use our software, online applications, view content, receive emails, and engage in other activities. By doing so we may collect information from a child’s parent or guardian. When we collect personal information about a child, we will hold that information only as long as reasonably necessary to allow the child to continue to use and interact with our website.

During the registration process, we may ask a parent or guardian to give us information about their child. This information includes a child’s name, birth date, gender, username, account name, password, and the parent or legal guardian’s email address and other contact information.

To comply with COPPA requirements, on our website where we ask for the age of a user who is under the age of 13 and under 16 where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies in the European Union, we will ask for their parent, legal guardian, or teacher’s email address before we collect any personal information from a child under these ages. If you think that your child is involved in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent or legal guardian has not received a request for consent to collect such information, please contact us using the contact information at the top of this page.
