We believe that protecting the privacy of all people is of paramount importance. Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. For that reason we will never collect or maintain information that is not necessary for the delivery of the Service. 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. Your child will never be served ads served by other (non-Google) ad providers, including ads personalized by third parties because we never advertise to children.
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.

Anomaly Learning does not permit children under the age of 13 (a "Child" or "Children") to create an account without the consent and at the direction of a Parent or School. Please contact us at support@anomalystudios.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent so that we may delete the information as soon as possible.
When Anomaly Learning 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 Learning to collect information from a School User under the age of 13.
Additionally, a Child User may use the Website if registered through certain educational organizations and through which education organization the legal parent and/or guardian of such Child User has consented to use the Services. Further, in certain instances, a Child User may use our Service via a third party application that integrate into or with the Services.
