Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children") as parents must create and maintain the account.
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We are proud supporters of the Student Privacy Pledge. Our collection and use of Student Records is governed by our contracts with the Schools, by our Privacy Policy, and by applicable privacy laws.

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting the personal information of a School User accessing the Service through a School partner agreement, please contact your School directly.
When our Service is used by a School in an educational setting, we may rely on the School to provide the requisite consent from the child's parents for Anomaly Studios, LLC to collect information from a School User under the age of 13. Look at our Terms of service to see more details on consent for children to use our services
Teachers can create accounts on behalf of Students. When registering an account for a Student who is under the age of 13 (a "Child"), the Teacher represents and warrants that they or the educational organization they work for has proper permission to register the Child to use our services.
By registering and creating an account for your child, your child will not be able to share information, including photos, videos, audio, and location, publicly and with others.
