If you have registered for an account, you may also access, change or delete certain information that RELLC has collected in connection with the account by logging into the account using your username and password.

J. Children’s Privacy

RELLC appreciates that further privacy protections may be required with respect to Personal Information RELLC collects from children using the Service.

Provision of the Service to Schools

Where RELLC is providing the Service to a School (as defined in RELLC’s Terms of Service), RELLC does not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in local jurisdictions) unless and until the School has obtained appropriate parental consent. Where RELLC collects and uses Student Data at the direction of and under the control of a School, RELLC relies on each School to provide appropriate notice to parents of the School’s use of third party service providers like RELLC, and for the Schools to obtain consent, if necessary, and authorization for RELLC to collect Student Data, as permitted by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable data protection laws. Please contact us at privacy@readablenglish.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information of a child without proper consent so that we may delete such data as soon as possible.

Provision of the Service to Individuals

Where RELLC is providing the Service to an individual and not to a School, then:

• Consistent with the requirements of COPPA, on any child-targeted feature of the Service or in connection with any instance where we ask for age information and determine that the user is under the age of 13, we will ask for a parent or guardian email address before we collect any personal information from the child. We will not use parent or guardian emails provided as part of this process in order to market to the parent or guardian unless the parent or guardian has separately provided their express consent to receive such marketing communications or has separately participated in activities that allow for us to engage in such marketing activities.

In the consent email, we will explain what information we are collecting, how we plan to use it, how the parent or guardian can provide consent, and how any consent previously granted can be revoked. If we do not receive parental or guardian consent within a reasonable period of time after we send the email, we will delete the parent or guardian’s contact information, in addition to any information we have collected from the child in connection with the activity for which we are seeking consent

Where Personal Information is knowingly collected from a child under the age of 13, we will retain that information only so for so long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the activity or task for which the information was collected, for our internal security purposes and the security of our users, or as required by law. If at any time we discover that we have collected information from a child in a manner that is inconsistent with COPPA, we will either delete the information or immediately seek parent or guardian consent.

• If a particular feature of the Service allows children to register with RELLC, we may ask the child to provide certain information for notification and security purposes, including a parent or guardian’s email address, the child’s first name and gender, the child’s member or account username, and password. We may also ask for the child’s date of birth to validate their age.

Please note that children can choose whether or not to share this information with us, but certain features or functions of the Service cannot function without it. As such, if this information is not provided, the child may not be able to use these features or functions.

We will never collect or require the provision of more Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 than is reasonably necessary in order to provide the particular Service at issue.

• Certain features of the Service allow children to create or use content and save it with RELLC. Some of these features do not require children to provide any Personal Information and as such may not require that we notify a parent or guardian or obtain parent or guardian consent. If any of these features allows a child to include or input Personal Information as part of any created content, we will either delete any such Personal Information as part of a pre-screening process, or we will seek parent or guardian consent.
• Parents or guardians can refuse to permit the collection of Personal Information from their children in association with a particular account at any time, and can further request that we delete any such Personal Information that we have previously collected. Such a deletion request may, however, result in the termination of the account.

Where a child has registered for an account, parents or guardians can access, change or delete information that RELLC has collected in connection with the account by: (i) logging into the child’s account using the child’s username and password; or (ii) contacting RELLC via email to privacy@readablenglish.com to request access to, change or delete the child’s personal information. Action will be taken in response to a valid deletion request within a reasonable period of time.

Please note that RELLC will take reasonable steps to verify a parent or guardian’s identify before granting access to a child’s account or other personal information.

Geolocation Data

If features of the Service that are directed toward children collect geolocation information that is sufficient to identify (or enable RELLC to identify) a particular street address, we will first seek parent or guardian consent via email.

Third Parties

RELLC does not currently permit any third parties to collect Personal Information from users of the Service that are directed to children under 13, or that we know children under 13 are using, except those third parties that may collect persistent identifiers, such as IP addresses, cookie information or other identifiers from devices or browsers, solely for the support of internal operations as described in this Notice.

Disclosures

We may share the Personal Information of children with our service providers if necessary for them to perform a business, professional, technical, or similar support function for us. We may further disclose such Personal Information if permitted or required by law, or in response to a law enforcement or public agency’s request. RELLC may further disclose such Personal Information if we believe such disclosure may prevent a crime from occurring or to facilitate an investigation related to public safety or to protect the safety of a child, to protect the security or integrity of the Service or any associated IT systems or functions or related technology, or to prevent or take precautions against potential or actual liability.

K. Student Data

In providing the Service to a school, RELLC may have access to personally identifiable information about students (“Student Data”) that is provided by the school to RELLC. RELLC has access to Student Data only to the extent such Student Data is provided by the school and only for the purposes of providing the Service to the school or on the school’s behalf. The type of Student Data RELLC receives will depend on the Service provided to the School, but may include name, birthdate, student ID, grade, teacher, and SpED/ELL status.

RELLC treats Student Data as strictly confidential and does not use such data for any purpose other than to provide the Service to or on behalf of the school in accordance with RELLC’s contractual agreements with the school. We will only retain Student Data for so long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill RELLC’s contractual obligations to the school, for RELLC’s internal security purposes and the security of our users, or as required by law.

RELLC’s collection, use and disclosure of Student Data is governed by this Notice, RELLC’s contractual agreements with the school, the U.S. federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), and applicable state laws which relate to the collection of Student Data. If you are a student or parent, please contact your school if you have questions about how the school uses the Service.

We may disclose Student Data to authorized school users such as teachers and school administrators. The level of sharing will depend on the Service being provided by RELLC to the school.

RELLC may further disclose Student Data to its service providers if necessary for them to perform a business, professional, technical, or similar support function for us. These service providers are subject to confidentiality and data security requirements. We may further disclose Student Data if permitted or required by law, or in response to a law enforcement or public agency’s request. RELLC may further disclose Student Data if we believe such disclosure may prevent a crime from occurring or to facilitate an investigation related to public safety or to protect the safety of a student, to protect the security or integrity of the Service or any associated IT systems or functions or related technology, or to prevent or take precautions against potential or actual liability. RELLC will never share or sell Student Data with or to third parties for marketing purposes.

L. Use of Information Outside Your Country of Residence

The Service is directed to users located in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Service or provide your information to us, you should be aware that we may transfer your information to the United States and process it there. The privacy laws in the United States may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Notice followed by your submission of information to us through or in connection with the Service represents your agreement to the transfer of your information to the United States.

M. Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may change this Notice from time to time. If we decide to make a material change to this Notice, we will post it on this page. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of changes to this Notice will mean you accept these changes. In some cases, we may attempt to contact you through an email or other address you have provided, so we can give you choices about our using your information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection. If we make any material changes in our privacy practices that affect your Personal Information that is already in our possession, we will apply those changes to that older information only with your consent or as otherwise allowed by law.
