As stated above, you must be at least 13 years old to independently sign up for our Services. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from visitors under the age of 13. We only collect Personal Information through our Services from visitors under 13 where we have received confirmation that the student’s school and/or teacher obtained the required consent for that student to use our Services and disclose the Personal Information, or where the parent of a child has signed the child up to use the Services and provided the necessary consent. If you believe that we may have unintentionally collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us immediately at privacy@codemonkey.com.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that we obtain parental consent before knowingly collecting Personally Identifiable Information (as defined under COPPA, “PII”) online from children who are under the age of 13. To comply with COPPA, we adhere to the following practices:

• You must be at least 13 years old in order to independently gain access to and join our Services. If you are under 13 years old, to use our Services, your parent or guardian needs to create an account for you or you need to have a classroom code from your teacher and join a classroom.
• We do not knowingly or intentionally collect or solicit PII from children under the age of 13 through our Services unless we have received consent (via our Services and in accordance with our Terms of Service) from the child’s parent or guardian or in case of an educational institution, from the school administrator and/or teacher. As described in more detail above, ordinarily, we collect a child’s username and display name (which cannot contain full name or an email address), a password, and the child’s age. We also collect data showing child’s usage of the Services and progress.

• Teachers can enable the Game Builder feature. Although this feature is not designed or intended for children to upload personal information, it could potentially allow children to upload images, descriptions, and welcome messages. This activity can only happen after the teacher has provided appropriate consent and affirmatively enabled the feature for the class. Outside the classroom setting, the Game Builder is pre-screened to remove PII.
• We do not sell any PII of children under the age of 13 to any third party. We may share children’s PII with service providers, who process this information on our behalf to support our internal operations.
• A parent, guardian, school administrator, or teacher, as applicable, can view, edit or delete all information associated with a child’s account, which is connected to that grown-up’s account through their dashboard, by clicking “my account” or by accessing the “classroom” (if the grown-up is a teacher).
• We do not require children under 13 to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in our Services, and we do not retain PII from children under 13 years of age longer than is reasonably necessary in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
• As a parent of a child under the age of 13, you have parental access rights outlined in section 7 of this Privacy Policy.

You are not required to provide us with any information about children under 13, although we may be unable to provide the Services without that information.    

We collect the following non-personal information from children as described in more detail below:

• The data we collect about children’s activity on our site is linked back to their parents’ account for tracking purposes, so parents can see their children’s progress in the different courses. Parents can see the percentage of each course completion, how many courses were started, the total number of solutions submitted by the child, the projects created, amount of time spent on site daily, and the level of proficiency reached in each coding concept.
• Information We Collect Automatically. We automatically collect the following information from children who use our Website or Services through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies: IP address, web pages that they visit, referring, website, types of browsers, operating systems, and/or devices they are using, settings, information regarding their mobile network (such as carrier name), other data normally stored in website logs, site usage. Please see the section “Cookies and Other Technologies” below for more information.

• Service Providers. We may use and share information with our service providers, including those that help us operate our Websites, Apps and Services (e.g., cloud services providers, and other similar service providers). When we use such service providers, we restrict them from using or disclosing your information, except as required to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. Personal Information of our users will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
• Legal and Compliance Purposes. We may share information with third parties when complying with legal process, to protect our intellectual property and other legal rights, to prevent fraud or imminent harm, and secure of our Services. We reserve the right to disclose information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a law enforcement order, such as a search warrant, judicial proceeding, or court order. We may also retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Aggregated or Anonymous Data. We may use and disclose anonymous or aggregated information about our users to potential business partners, investors, or the public, or use it for research or analytics purposes.
• Business Transactions. We may share Personal Information with our parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and investors primarily for business and operational purposes so long as any recipient agrees to comply with this Privacy Policy and applicable law with regard to such Personal Information. In the event that CodeMonkey goes through a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, bankruptcy, or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process, a user’s information, including Personal Information, will likely be among the assets shared and transferred. Users will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Services of any completed change in ownership or uses of their Personal Information, as well as any choices they may have regarding their Personal Information. This Privacy Policy will become binding upon the new owner of the information until amended.
