How is children's personal information treated?

If you are a minor (under the age of 18), you may not disclose Personal Information to us. Company only collects limited Personal Information about students (“Children’s Personal Information”) directly from the parent or guardian who has registered on our site and paid for the Services. If you are below the age of eighteen (18), please do not send any Children’s Personal Information about yourself to us, other than what we request from your parent or guardian who registers for the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected Children’s Personal Information directly from a student, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student may have provided us Children’s Personal Information without parental involvement, please contact us at support@aceapps.io. Hereinafter, references to “Personal Information” shall apply to personal information of individual Website users who are not student registrants. References to “Children’s Personal Information” shall only apply to personal information of student users of the Website. General references to “information” shall apply to all users. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if you are a minor and your parent has signed up for the Website, you understand that your parent can view all information within or associated with the account, including without limitation progress reports and usage data that tracks your performance on games, assessments and other tests available through the Services.

What Personal Information Does Company Collect?

We collect the minimum amount of data required to operate our program. The information we gather from customers enables us to personalize and improve our services. We collect the following types of information from our customers:

Information You Provide to Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or provide to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information collected include your full name, email address, ZIP code, credit card and/or other payment information, Children’s Personal Information (which is limited to the child’s name and gender), IP address, browser and location information, username, password and any other information necessary for us to provide our services. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as answering questions, sending product updates, and communicating with you about Company’s products and services, including specials and new features. The Children’s Personal Information you provide shall only be used for creating your individual account (which will allow you to receive progress reports that include tracking your child’s performance and progress). You may modify or remove your Personal Information or Children’s Personal Information identified below at any time by logging into your account and accessing features to edit your profile and/or account information.

Personal Information Collected Automatically:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Website or use our services. Company automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested. Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Website and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Company only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Website or services so that we can make the Website appealing to as many customers as possible, and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our Website or services. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use the Website or services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Company does not disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.

E-mail Communications:

We often receive a confirmation when you open an email from Company if your computer supports this type of program. Company uses this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and helpful. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. When you receive e-mail from Company, you can opt out of receiving further e-mails by following the included instructions to unsubscribe.

Push Notifications:

We may also send parents and teachers practices reminders through our mobile apps. These notifications are intended for grownups only and can only be requested through the parent/grownup sections of our mobile apps. You can opt-out from these notifications or modify the frequency of these notifications at any time through the app or device settings.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. We use cookies to enhance visitors’ experiences, to learn more about their use of the Website and to improve quality. Company cookies do not collect Personal Information or Children’s Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information or Children’s Personal Information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is. Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our Website’s most attractive features. If third party links appear through advertisements on the Website, those third party sites may use cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Company and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or third parties. We do not currently display third party advertisements on our website or services or use third party cookies to track children users for advertising purposes.

Will Company Share Any of the Personal Information it Receives?

Your Personal Information and Children’s Personal Information is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information or Children’s Personal Information to anyone. We share your Personal Information and Children’s only as described below. As explained below, we only share Children’s Personal Information associated with your account directly with you to report on your child’s performance using our Services. We never share that Children’s Personal Information with any third party. A child’s usage data (i.e. performance on tests, games, etc. available on the Services) is shared through aggregated, anonymous comparisons, but never in a way that could personally identify the child. In addition, we do not offer students chat rooms or community features that allow the sharing or posting of Children’s Personal Information in a public forum.

Again, please note that references to “Personal Information” only apply to personal information of individuals who are not students. Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We anticipate that we may become affiliated with a variety of businesses and work closely with them. In certain situations, these businesses may sell items to you through the Website. In other situations, Company may provide services, or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. These transactions or services may or may not be commercial in nature; we will not share your Children’s Personal Information in connection with any commercial third party transaction or service. You can easily recognize when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, and we will share your Personal Information that is related to such transactions with that affiliated business.

Compliance with Data Privacy Laws

Company intends to comply with the data privacy and data protection laws of all jurisdictions where it operates. Some specific examples of legislation that we comply with are described below.

United States

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Children under the age of 13 may not create accounts. We only collect usage and performance data from students as a result of their performing educational activities, and we only use that data for educational purposes. If we gain actual knowledge that a child is using Math Ace without the appropriate consent, we terminate the account.

Family Education Rights Protection Act (FERPA):​ Schools in the United States may provide student data to Math Ace while complying with FERPA. When a School provides us with a student’s Personal Data (or PII — Personally Identifiable Information) under the FERPA school official exemption, they remain in control of that data. Math Ace will only use and disclose that data as specified in our Terms and as allowed by law.

We minimize the data we collect and process, and use data only as described in this policy.
