Children's Privacy Policy
The following paragraphs summarize SchoolCity's policy regarding the collection
and use of personal information about children.
Types of personal information collected: Under the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act, "personal information" is defined as individually identifiable
information, such as a first and last name; a home or other physical address including
street name and city or town; an e-mail address; a telephone number; a Social Security
number; or persistent identifiers such as customer or processor serial numbers held
in a cookie, where the identifier is associated with individually identifiable information.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in a designated file on
a user's computer. SchoolCity usually does not collect personal information as defined
under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We collect and use only as much
information about a child as necessary for the activity, and do not condition participation
in any online activity on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably
necessary. Occasionally, we use cookies to store pertinent user information during
a session.
Use of personal information: We use the information we collect
from children only for internal business purposes, and/or to give credit to children
for work they have created. We contact children by e-mail only in response to their
requests for information or assistance. SchoolCity uses cookies solely for the purpose
of holding information during online sessions (for example, to hold answers to online
quizzes for short-term storage, or to create an ID for use in a multiple-session
assessment). If, however, a child voluntarily discloses personal information, such
as a name or e-mail address, on bulletin boards or in chat areas that are accessible
to other users, then such information could be collected and disclosed by others.
SchoolCity cannot take any responsibility for such collection or disclosure.
Involvement of parents: In accordance with the provisions of the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we will notify parents when collecting
personal information from children, and will seek parental consent before collecting,
using, or disclosing certain personal information from children. Parents may review
and have deleted their child's personal information, and may refuse to permit further
collection or use of their child's information by contacting the SchoolCity representatives
listed below. Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child's personal
information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to others.
