We believe that protecting the privacy of all people is of paramount importance. Protecting the privacy of children is especially important.

For account holders of student accounts we only collect a Pseudonym (nick name), username, and password to login to our services. This information is never shared or publicly displayed. 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 you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. 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. For example, we work with Schools to help protect personal information from the Student's educational record, as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), and to protect the personal information of students under 13 consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). 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. If your child shares information publicly, it would have to be outside of our system and it is strongly advised to not do so as it may be indexable by search engines like Google Search. We are not responsible for the content uploaded by any user.
Anomaly Studios, LLC will not serve personalized ads to your child, which means ads will not be based on information from your child's account. Instead, ads may be served to a parent or teacher if they have visited our website for marketing purposes.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
