"Non-personal data" (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
"Personal data" (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural
person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or
indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an
online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally
Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data.
A "visitor" is someone who merely browses our website. A "member" is someone who has registered with us to use or buy our services and products, a member includes children, teachers, and parents, children must be authorized by a teacher, parent, or legal guardian to use our services. The term "user" is a collective identifier that refers to either a visitor or a member.
Generally, you control the amount and type of information that you provide to us when using our website.

security of your PD. We and the third parties who provide services for us, also maintain technical and
physical safeguards to protect your PD. When we collect your credit card information through our
website, we will encrypt it before it travels over the Internet using industry-standard technology for
conducting secure online transactions. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee against the loss or misuse of
your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature.

However, you understand and agree that we are in no way responsible for any misuse of your credit card number.
(PD) that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate, specifically the United States. The European Union has not found the United States and some other countries to have an adequate level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR. Our company relies on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. For European Union customers and users, with your consent, your PD may be transferred outside the European Union to the United States and or other countries. We will use your PD to provide the goods, services, and/or information you request from us to perform a contract with you or to satisfy a legitimate interest of our company in a manner that does not outweigh your freedoms and rights. Wherever we transfer, process or store your PD, we will take reasonable steps to protect it. We will use the information we collect from you in accordance with our privacy notice. By using our website, services, or products, you agree to the transfers of your PD described within this section.
We reserve the right to change this privacy notice at any time. If our company decides to change this privacy notice, we will post those changes on our website so that our users and customers are always aware of what information we collect, use, and disclose. If at any time we decide to disclose or use your PD in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, we will provide advance notice by email (sent to the email address on file in your account). Otherwise we will use and disclose our users' and customers' PD in agreement with the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected. In all cases, your continued use of our website, services, and products after any change to this privacy notice will constitute your acceptance of such change.
If you have any questions about our privacy notice, please contact us using the information at the top of this privacy notice.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under the age of 13. COPPA also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children under the age of 13 to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on our website. We offer users a number of activities, some of which are directed at children under the age of 13, and other activities that are targeted for users of all ages. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under the age of 16 in some member countries of the European Union. The GDPR also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children under the age of 16 to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on our website.
Should we want to collect personal information from a child and/or school student, FERPA, COPPA and the GDPR requires that we first obtain a parent or legal guardian's consent. In an email (or other approved method) sent to the parent or legal guardian we will describe what information we would like to collect, how we propose to use it, how the parent can offer and cancel consent. If we do not obtain consent from the parent within a reasonable timeframe, we will remove the child and parent information collected with the request.
For school-based activities, school administrators and teachers are allowed under FERPA and COPPA to act on behalf of the parents to give consent when collecting personal information from children. Teachers and school administrators should always inform parents when collecting personal information from children on their behalf.
Children can register with our website to use our software, online applications, view content, participate in contests, receive emails, and engage in other activities. By doing so we may collect information from children. When we collect personal information from a child, we will hold that information only as long as reasonably necessary to allow the child to continue to use and interact with our website. During the registration process we may ask a child to give us information for security purposes, announcements, and notifications. This information includes a child's first name, birthdate (to validate the child's age), gender, username, account name, password, and parent or legal guardian's email address and other contact information. Children can choose whether to provide their information to us; however some of our website features may not function without the required information. To comply with FERPA and COPPA requirements, on our website where we ask for the age of a user who is under the age of 13 and under 16 where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies in the European Union, we will ask for their parent, legal guardian, or teacher's email address before we collect any personal information from a child under these ages. If you think that your child is involved in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent or legal guardian has not received a request for consent to collect such information, please contact us using the contact information at the top of this page.
When children interact with our website and services, specific information may automatically be collected. We collect this information to make our website and services useful to children and other users. We also use this information for internal business purposes, including improving our website. Some examples of this type of information include the child's IP address, mobile device identifier, type of web browser, type of operating system, online service provider used, and the regularity with which the child visits different parts of our website. This data and information are collected using online technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and other unique identifiers that are explained in the Computer Information Collected section above. This information and data may be collected by our website or by a third party.
This information and data are primarily used for our own purposes in order to:
