COPPA

Last Updated: Dec 7, 2021

Giant Leaps Learning INC. (“Giant Leaps Learning,” “we,” “our” or “us”) values the privacy of children and of all of our students. This COPPA Policy (“COPPA Policy”) is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its rules (as amended, “COPPA”). COPPA requires us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this policy, collectively, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from or about children under the age of 13 (collectively, “children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for the collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

Giant Leaps Learning provides an online enrichment program designed to promote critical thinking skills and social-emotional wellbeing with the goal of developing young leaders (the “Giant Leaps Learning”).

This policy notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from or about children.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • How he or she can access and correct his or her child’s personal data and information

This policy only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements our general privacy policy located at https://giantleapslearning.com/privacy. Our general privacy policy only applies to minors 13 and over and adults. All capitalized terms not defined in this policy shall have the meaning given to them in the general privacy policy.

Capitalized terms that are not defined in this COPPA policy shall have the meaning given to them in our general privacy policy or our Terms of Service. 

Except as specifically provided in this COPPA Policy, we do not collect any personal information directly from children, only from their parents.

Data and other Information We Collect from or about Children

‍To apply for admission to the Giant Leaps Learning, a parent must provide the child’s first and last name, and his or her date of birth.

We may record the classes that a child attends at the Giant Leaps Learning. We will only use these recordings for quality control and to improve the Giant Leaps Learning and to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service, including responding to any alleged Prohibited Behavior (as defined in the Terms of Service (e.g., bullying, harassment, etc.)). 

We do not collect more personal information about a child than is reasonably necessary to apply for admission to the Giant Leaps Learning and for the child to participate in the Giant Leaps Learning.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

‍We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Site and the Giant Leaps Learning and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:

  • One or more persistent identifiers, such as the IP address, that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services
  • Browser information, including what browser a child is using. 
  • Actions while visiting the Site or participating in the Giant Leaps Learning, including log-in time and when a child clicks the log-in link that we sent.

How We Use Your Child’s Data or other Information

‍We use the personal information we collect about your child to: 

  • decide whether to admit your child to the Giant Leaps Learning;
  • enable your child to participate in the Giant Leaps Learning;
  • provide the Giant Leaps Learning;
  • maintain a record of the levels that your child has completed;
  • understand how students access and use the Giant Leaps Learning; and
  • improve our Site, the Giant Leaps Learning and the other Giant Leaps Learning Services.

Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information

‍We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children’s personal data or other information other than as described in this section.

We may disclose anonymized or aggregated data and other information about our users, including children. In addition, we may disclose children’s personal data and other information:

  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Giant Leaps Learning, our customers or others, including to:
    • protect the safety of a child;
    • protect the safety and security of Giant Leaps Learning or the Giant Leaps Learning; or

Social Features

‍We enable minors that are enrolled in the Giant Leaps Learning to communicate with each other through the chat feature on Zoom during class & via Slack (“Social Features”). The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. We do not control the types of information that your child can send or post through them. We do monitor information after it has been posted but we do not control the actions of other students with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children’s use of the Social Feature to ensure they do not disclose their personal information through them. 

Accessing and Correcting Your Child’s Personal Data and Information

‍You may review your child’s personal information maintained by us, require us to correct or delete the personal information, and/or refuse to permit us from using the child’s information at any time. 

You can review, change, or delete your child’s personal data or information by sending us an email at admin@giantleapslearning.com. To protect your privacy and security, we may require you to take certain steps or provide additional information to verify your identity before we provide any information or make corrections. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to your request within thirty (30) days.
