6. Children’s privacy
Generally, our Products are for users 13 years of age or older, and users must be 13 or older to create an account for a Product. For Products offered to K-12 Schools, we either provide that Product without collecting, using, or disclosing “personal information” (as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Act (“COPPA”), except as permitted by COPPA, or we obtain consent from the school or a parent or guardian. If we have reason to believe that any such personal information has been submitted to us by a child under 13 in the United States or a child under 16 in the EU without legally-valid consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as soon as possible. We also comply with other age restrictions and requirements in accordance with applicable local laws.
Prior to a Student accessing the Product, the School must facilitate the Student’s access to Products.
We collect the Personal Data set forth in Section 2 from Students and use it to provide the Products to Students and as described further in this Privacy Policy.
The Products limit access to each Student’s account and the content thereon to the Student, the Student’s parents, and K-12 School personnel (depending on the choices and authorization made by the K-12 School’s administrator). The Products do not permit any Student’s account or the content and grades thereon to be viewed or accessed by the general public.
We keep Student Personal Data for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain Student Personal Data depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it, as authorized by the K-12 School.
