Please read this notice carefully.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is specifically designed for Enrollees who are under 18 years of age and it is intended to be used under the explicit guidance and supervision of a parent or guardian who has agreed to this Privacy Policy on behalf of the child. By signing the Parental COPPA Notice and establishing an account for your child, you are giving your consent for us to gather, use, and disclose your child's Personal Information as outlined in this policy. Enrollees are not authorized to use the Services without your express permission and oversight. We insist that you support your Enrollee in utilizing the Services to ensure you can supervise the Personal Information that they share.

Personal Information we Collect

As part of offering our Services, we will gather specific information that can identify you and your affiliated Enrollees, referred to here as "Personal Information". This happens when you set up an account on our Service or register your child for classes, at which point you may voluntarily share certain details about yourself or your child. These details could include name, username, email address, city, state, demographic details (such as date of birth, age, gender, etc.) and any other data you choose to share with us. If you reach out to us, we also gather records and copies of your communications, including email addresses. Should you access the Service via a mobile device, you may opt to share location data with us. We handle all Personal Information with the utmost confidentiality and employ it only to provide the Services, as directed by you, or as detailed in this Privacy Policy. More specifics follow.

Information We Collect from Children

We strictly refrain from gathering Personal Information from any child under the age of 13 without confirmed parental consent from their parent or guardian. During registration, you'll be required to submit Personal Information about the Enrollee such as their name and your email address at info@kidscoders.io. We may also ask further profile questions related to their utilization of our Services. By submitting any Personal Information regarding a child under 13 years old to the Service, you affirm that you are the parent or guardian of the child and possess the full right and authority to share the information. If you suspect that we have collected any information from a child under 13 years old in contradiction to this Privacy Policy, please reach out to us at info@kidscoders.io.

When interacting with our Services, Enrollees might have the option to upload certain content to a publicly accessible classroom message board. This may include Personal Information, pictures, or location data that could be used to identify your child. We strictly prohibit your child from uploading such information to the classroom message board, but we may not consistently monitor the message boards to ensure that Enrollees are adhering to this rule. The quantity and nature of Personal Information that Kids Coders collects from Enrollees are contingent on the extent of their engagement with the Services. Children must avoid posting Personal Information, and if they follow this guideline, Kids Coders will not gather any Personal Information directly from your child. If you believe your child may have shared Personal Information with the Services without your knowledge or consent, kindly email us at info@kidscoders.io and we will remove the information.
