Readability Tutor Children's Privacy Policy

Readability is committed to protecting children's privacy. Readability does not knowingly permit children who are less than 13 years of age ("Child Users") to register directly for our Site and Services without consent of a Parent or Guardian. If Readability learns that Personal Information of a Child User has been collected on our Site or Service without parental consent, then Readability will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian ("Parent") and discover that your child under the age of 13 has a registered account with our Site and Services without your consent, please alert Readability support@readabilitytutor.com and request that we delete that child's personal information from our systems.

How children use our Site or Service.

A parent or guardian must create a Parent Account on the Site or Services and the create Child User's account by clicking on add Child link in the Site or Service. Parent Accounts control the settings and functionality of the Child account. The Parent can maintain the Child's Account, and/or can enable additional functionality and features, if desired. Parents can revoke a Child User's permissions to use the Service at any time by deleting the account.

What information do we collect from a Child User?

We collect Parent's email address when the Parent registers for the Service, as well as Child's username, birthdate, and any personal information a Parent adds to a Child User's account. We collect information about the Child User's use of the Service (readings completed, accuracy, speed, reading recordings etc.) as well as content the Child posts to the Service if such functionality is enabled by the Parent. We also collect usage and device information, as described in our Privacy Policy. We use this information to provide the Service to the Child User and for the purposes described in in our Privacy Policy's section Use of Information. We use the Parent's email address to communicate messages about the account.

How do we disclose information relating to a Child User?

Username and progress information, along with any personal information the Parent added to the Child's profile, is available to the child and the parent. Parents may also enable additional data sharing features through a Parent Account, for example, by enabling the Child User to post content (e.g., stories, reviews, questions, answers) to the Site or Service. Parents that enable content-posting features should be aware that a Child User could post personally identifiable information in free-form content on the Service, and should monitor the Child User's posts and delete personal information if needed. We may also disclose personal information of Child Users for business purposes, as described in the Privacy Policy section "Disclosures and Transfers of Information"

Third party tracking and online advertising

Readability does not display any targeted advertising on the Site or Service.
