Kids Privacy Policy

GritLabs. ("GritLabs“, "그리트랩스”, “we,” “us” or “our”) is committed to providing children with useful online literacy resources and protecting children’s online safety and privacy. To that end, we have designed our sites and apps for children to minimize the collection of personal information and maximize user engagement in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), a U.S. law designed to protect the online privacy of children. This Scholastic Kids Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information, as defined under COPPA (“Kids’ Personal Information”), on our Sites directed to children under the age of 13 situated in the United States (our "Kids Sites ").

Our primary Kids App is Sight Words. All of our apps for children are covered by this policy.

Definitions

"Kid" or "child" means a user under the age of 13.
"Parent" means a kid's parent or legal guardian.
Mobile applications (or Apps) or other online services operated by GritLabs.

Activities on our Kids Apps

Children do not have to give us more information than reasonably necessary to use our Kids Apps. Activities on our Kids Sites include virtual worlds, games, quizzes, filtered chat, filtered story-telling, tracking reading ans writting.

Information Kids May Submit

Information We Collect Automatically

When children use our Apps, certain information can be automatically collected. We use this information to maintain, secure, analyze, and improve our children's apps.

Information collected automatically includes:

· Internet protocol (IP) address – a string of numbers assigned to a computer when it connects to the internet
· General geolocation information (derived from IP address and no more specific than zip code)
· Navigation information – what users do on our Site, sometimes the website they came from
· General systems, browser, domain and internet service provider information

The technology used to automatically collect this information includes:

· Cookies : We may use the standard "cookies" feature of major browses that allows us to store a small piece of data on children device about children visit to our Services. We do not set any personally identifiable information in cookies, nor do we employ any data capture mechanisms on our Services other than cookies. Children can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on children browser, but if children block cookies, children may not be able to view or access some of the features of our Services.

How We Use Kids’ Personal Information

We do NOT use any Kisd Information. 

Behaviorally Targeted Advertising

Our Kids Apps do not track Kids to serve them behaviorally targeted advertisements (also known as retargeting or online behavioral advertising), or to allow others to do so.

Parental Consent

When we knowingly collect Kids’ Personal Information from a child, we ask the child's parent for consent before we collect it, unless the collection and/or use falls within an exception under COPPA, such as where we use an email address to respond directly to a one-time request from the child or for password retrieval or reset. We let parents know about such collection as required or permitted by law.

When prior parental consent is required, we ask for it in ways allowed by COPPA. For example, if Kids’ Personal Information will be used only by us, we may ask for the parent's consent by email. While we do not currently, and do not expect to, use Kids’ Personal Information in this manner, if Kids’ Personal Information would be disclosed on the Kids Site or disclosed to a third party besides a service provider, we would obtain a consent from the parent as required by law, such as by a form to be returned via U.S. mail or electronic scan, or consent obtained in connection with a credit card purchase.

Parental Choices and Controls

If you are a parent of one of our child users, you can ask us to:

· Allow you to review your child’s Kids’ Personal Information
· Deactivate your child's Kids Site account
· Revoke any consent you have given for your child
· Delete Kids’ Personal Information your child has given us
· Stop collecting Kids’ Personal Information from your child

To make these requests, or if you have any other questions about our Kids Sites or our policies or practices regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of Kids’ Personal Information, you may contact us at:

Parents may also print, complete and return this letter to the specified address.

We may require additional information to identify your child’s account or to verify your identity and relationship with the child.

Retention and Deletion

If we do collect Kids’ Personal Information, we keep that information for the time we determine is necessary to perform the task for which we collected it, unless otherwise requested by a child’s parent. We reserve the right to keep certain information necessary for record-keeping to the extent permitted and/or required by law, including any statutory retention requirements. When deleted, Kids’ Personal Information is deleted securely. In some cases we may de-identify Kids’ Personal Information instead of deleting it.

Other Web Sites, Apps and Services

Our Kids Apps may contain links to third party web sites, apps or other online services that we consider appropriate. We do not operate those other sites, and the privacy policies found on those sites (not this Scholastic Kids Privacy Policy) cover the collection and use of information there.

We recommend reading the privacy policies of each web site visited after leaving our Kids Sites, to learn about how information is treated by others.

We encourage parents and teachers to talk with their children and students about how to be safe online. For more information on protecting your child online, please visit OnGuard Online.


Changes to this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy may be changed. For material changes, we will try to notify parents of child users in any way the law allows. We may also post notice on this Kids Site when changes are made, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
