Children Under the Age of 13

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents“) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children“). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from children and/or childrens’ teachers.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children and/or teachers, including how a parent may revoke consent.
  • All operators that collect or maintain information from children and/or teachers through this Application.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy applies to teens and adults.

Terms that are defined in the general privacy policy have the same meanings as used in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the Application and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them and/or their teachers. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Application.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.  

Information We Collect Directly. A parent or teacher of a child must provide us with the following information about the child to register the child with this Application: the child’s first name, middle initial, and last name, birth date, school identification number, state identification number, gender, year in school, special disability services received, areas of strengths and/or weakness in the child’s reading capabilities, and a parent’s or teacher’s email address. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from a parent, teacher or child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.

We enable registered users who have joined a specific group on the Application, such as a group formed for a classroom, school, or school district (“group”), to communicate with others on or through the Application through prompts, alerts, messages, feedback responses, and/or through the Application’s virtual notebook feature, and posting to public areas of the Application (“Social Features“). The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. Parents and/or Teachers have the ability to set certain permissions/restrictions on these forms of communications in the user settings; however, we do not monitor or review this content before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children’s use of social features.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking. We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Application and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include: 

  • One or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services.

We also may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online. 

For information about our automatic information collection practices, including how you can opt out of certain information collection, see the “Automatic Information Collection and Tracking” and “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information” sections of our Privacy Policy. 

How We Use Your Child’s Information

  • register him or her with the Application;
  • communicate with him or her, as well as his or her parent(s) and teacher(s) about activities or features of the Application that may be of interest;
  • track his or her performance in games or other activities.

We use the information we collect automatically through technology (see Automatic Information Collection) and other non-personal information we collect to improve our websites and Application and to deliver a better and more personalized experience by enabling us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
  • Store information about the child’s preferences, allowing us to customize the content according to individual interests.
  • Speed up your searches.

Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information

We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children’s personal information other than as described in this section.

We may disclose aggregated information about many of our users, and information that does not identify any individual. In addition, we may disclose children’s personal information:

  • To third parties we use to support the internal operations of our websites and Application and who are bound by contractual or other obligations to use the information only for such purpose and to keep the information confidential.
  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of LiteracyTech, Inc., our customers or others, including to:
  • protect the safety of a child;
  • protect the safety and security of the websites and Application; or
  • enable us to take precautions against liability.
  • To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

In addition, if LiteracyTech, Inc. is involved in a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of LiteracyTech Inc’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding or event, we may transfer the personal information we have collected or maintain to the buyer or other successor.

Social Features. The Application offers social features, including an interactive notebook for communicating, email, and posting on message boards, that enable children to communicate with others on our through the Application. We do not control the types of information your child can send or post through them. We encourage parents to educate their children about safety online and to carefully monitor their children’s use of social features to ensure they do not disclose their personal information through them. 

Accessing and Correcting Your Child’s Personal Information

At any time, you may review the child’s personal information maintained by us, require us to correct or delete the personal information, and/or refuse to permit us from further collecting or using the child’s information.
