What Information Do We Collect About Children, and Why?
Our Website and application offer a range of educational information and activities, some of which are primarily targeted at children, and others that are intended for users of all ages and their families. Our Website and application offer a variety of activities, including those that may collect information from children. Below, we summarize potential collection instances and outline how and when we will provide parental notice and seek parental consent. In any instance that we collect personal information from a child, we will retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the activity request, allow the child to continue to participate in the activity, ensure the security of our users and our services, or as required by law. In the event we discover we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with COPPA’s requirements, we will either delete the information or immediately seek the parent’s consent for that collection.
How is information collected?
We may collect information about children directly from children as well as automatically through a child’s use of our Website and Services. We will not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to use our Services.
Information We Collect Directly.
For children under 13, we utilize the date of birth to verify the child’s age but do not store the age. We only store them if they are under 13. If a child is under 13, we collect the child’s first name and last initial. We do not ask children for their full last name. Children must create their own usernames but are not required to provide an email. We only use user names and email addresses (if provided) to track a child’s progress in our educational activities or to reset passwords; we will not contact a child using his or her email address or username. We may also collect additional demographic information (such as race and gender) from children; however, we do not associate this with the child’s name or other personal information, and we use it only for educational purposes. Parents may ask us to stop collecting personal information from their children by emailing us at https://littleummah.net/contact-us.
