(Examples of such disclosures include using an outside service bureau to process tax returns or engaging a records-retention agency to store prior year records.)
We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Site or Services such that such information is no longer linked to your personally identifiable information. We may use and share this aggregated and anonymized information (non-Personal Information) for any purpose, including without limitation, for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with our affiliates and third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners and others.

We may share the information we have collected about you, including Personal Information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information and as described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Notice applies to how we collect and use your personal information. Please refer to our Boddle Learning Terms of Service here for information about our policies and your rights of ownership relating to information, photos, videos, text, graphics, music, sounds, and other material or information provided by you, other users, Boddle Learning, or third parties (collectively, the “User Content”).

We give you many choices regarding our use and disclosure of your Personal Information for marketing purposes. (Please note that EU residents may have different options described below).
You may opt-out from:
Receiving electronic communications from us: If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out of receiving these marketing-related emails by sending a request for list removal to contact@boddlelearning.com or following the instructions for unsubscribing in the email. If you have provided your information to Boddle Learning, and opt-out, Boddle Learning will put in place processes to honor your request. This may entail keeping some information for the purpose of remembering that you have opted-out.
We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.
Administrative Correspondence.
Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you messages for administrative or other purposes directly relating to your use of the Services, and you cannot opt-out from receiving those messages.
Boddle Learning will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Boddle Learning may process your Personal Information because:
• We need to perform a contract with you;
• You have given us permission to do so;

Please note that the above individual rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where certain exceptions apply. Please note that where our processing of your Personal Information relies on your consent and where you then withdraw that consent, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our services to you and/or it may affect the provision of those services.
Should you wish to raise a concern about our use of information (without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local supervisory authority.

• The categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed about you for a business purpose;

In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
If you are a California resident and would like to request information about the Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months, please contact us at this email address contact@boddlelearning.com with “California CCPA Rights” in the subject line and provide your email address and state the nature of your request.
We will provide the requested information free of charge once in a 12-month period, but please note that where we receive unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests, we may elect to decline the request. Note also that we will not be able to provide information we do not ordinarily retain in the course of our regular business practices.
In order to verify your identity, we will request that you provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are a California resident and the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
The CCPA also gives you the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected about you and for us to direct service providers to do the same, with certain exceptions as set forth in the CCPA. Note that you may also delete certain Personal Information you have provided to us through your online account.
When processing a request to delete, we may erase some information and we may de-identify some information (when we de-identify information, we implement technical safeguards and business processes that prohibit re-identification, business processes to prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information, and will make no attempt to re-identify the information).

Boddle Learning does not sell your personal information for monetary compensation.
As indicated above, we may allow third-party advertising companies to collect data from visitors to our Services, including to better serve you more relevant advertisements. These online advertising practices (and certain analytics or similar activities), may potentially be considered “sales” under the CCPA under certain circumstances. You can limit this type of tracking through industry opt-outs (http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and http://www.aboutads.info/choices/) and by limiting ad tracking on your mobile device.
You may also be able to limit the access these third-party advertising companies have to information about you when you use our Site by installing a browser or browser extension that can enable you to block the functionality of some tracking technologies.
If you use different computers or browsers, you may need to indicate your opt-out choices across those computers and browsers.
If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to request certain information from us regarding the collection and sale of your personal information (as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes 603A.320) during your visit to our websites or when you otherwise interact with us online.
If you have sought or acquired, by purchase or lease, any goods or services for personal, family, or household purposes from the Site, you may ask us to disclose whether we have sold (for monetary consideration) certain information about you (including your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, social security number, an identifier that allows you to be contacted either physically or online, or other contact information that allows us to identify you personally).
As a Nevada resident, you may also request to opt out of us sharing such information about you. To make this inquiry, please submit a request in writing to contact@boddlelearning.com with “Nevada Privacy Rights” in the subject line.
You must include your full name, email address, and attest that you are a Nevada resident by providing a Nevada postal address in your request. Please state whether you are requesting information and/or opting out.
We will process your request within 60 days, or we will let you know if we need additional time. We may require additional information to verify your identity before we can respond.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity.
Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal.
Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track at https://allaboutdnt.com.
If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S.
The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States.
By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us at contact@boddlelearning.com
If so, we will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information as business records).
Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons, such as a legitimate business reason.
In addition, please note that if you implement a deletion request but later sign up for information or Services, your most recent request will control our information relationship with you.
For your convenience, the Site(s) and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other websites. Boddle Learning is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site(s) should be deemed to imply that Boddle Learning endorses or has any affiliation with the links.
We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.
In event of a reasonably suspected or confirmed breach where student data is accessed or obtained by an unauthorized individual (“Data Breach”), Boddle Learning Inc will provide notification to the local educational authority or other appropriate party in accordance with applicable law, within a reasonable amount of time of confirmation or reasonable suspicion of the Data Breach, and not exceeding forty-eight (48) hours. The notification will be written in plain language, will be titled "Notice of Data Breach", and shall present the information under the following headings: "What Happened". "What Information Was Involved", "What We Are Doing", "What You Can Do", and "For More Information". Additional information may be provided as a supplement to the notice.
Because Boddle Learning works with global companies and technologies, we may transfer your Personal Information outside of the country in which it was originally provided.
This may include transfers to third parties, such as service providers or affiliated entities who are location outside the United States or the European Union, where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the U.S., E.U. or European Economic Area (“EEA”).
When we transfer personal data outside of these areas, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Information.
Our transfers of your personal data outside of the E.U. are safeguarded by data processing agreements (“DPAs”) incorporating Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy of the relevant portions of such agreements by contacting us at contact@boddlelearning.com. Please include the nature of your request in the subject line.
For minor changes which do not reduce user rights under this policy, we will notify our Users via our website and by noting the Last Modified date at the bottom of this policy.
For more significant changes, we will notify our users directly by email if possible, using the email on file. Schools with a signed data policy agreement will be notified in advance of any material changes to privacy policies concerning the processing of student data, including practices around new or additional data collection, or those that may lessen our prior protections around student-data privacy.

Last Updated: June 7, 2022
Boddle Learning, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Boddle Learning,” “Company” or “we,” “our” or “us”) is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of students under the age of 13 (each, a “Child” and collectively, “Children”) who visit and use our products and services.
This policy is made and is in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and outlines our practices regarding the personal information of all students under 13. For more information about COPPA and general tips about protecting Children’s online privacy, please visit OnGuard Online.
Boddle Learning provides on-line math games and related content and other educational materials for use by participating Kindergarten through 6th grade teachers and school districts (“Participants”) in the United States, Parents of Kindergarten – 6th grade students in the United States (”Parents”), and Kindergarten to sixth grade aged students ( “Students”) in the United States. Participants, Parents and Students may be referred to collectively as “Users”.
In the course of providing these Services, Boddle Learning may come into contact with information, including personal information, from the course taker. Some, but not all, courses are directed towards Children.
Any personal information we collect about other Users (e.g., teens and adults) will be treated in accordance with the Boddle Learning Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). The use of our Site and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Children’s Privacy Notice, the Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Service. Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into this Children’s Privacy Notice.
As described in further detail below, we collect some personal information from Children. This information is collected in order for them to be able to access the Services and so that we can track their progress through our courses and report back to Participants and Parents.
We may collect information about Children directly from Children, from Parents and Participants as well as automatically through a Child’s use of our Site and Services. We will not require a Child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to use our Services.
From Children under 13:
We do not ask Children for their age so we do not actually know the age of the Child.
We collect the Child’s first name, and last initial to help parents and teachers identify their child's accounts. We do not ask Children for their full last name. We use usernames that are created by parents and teachers to track a Child’s progress in our courses or to reset passwords; we will not contact a Child using their email address or username.
Parents may ask us to stop collecting personal information from their Child by emailing us at contact@boddlelearning.com. However, in such cases the Child will not be able to take or complete our courses. If a Parent directs us to stop collecting and using a Child’s personal information, we must disable their use of our Services to ensure that no information is collected.
When a Parent creates an account, they are asked to enter the first name and last initial of their student. The Parent account and the student account are linked, the Child’s Parents’ name and Parents’ email address are known and collected.
If a teacher creates an account, they are asked to enter the first name and last initial of their student. Since the teacher account and the student account are linked, the Child’s school name, grade level, and teacher’s name are also known.
As a Child plays the games in Boddle and answers questions within the app, the following data is collected:
• In-app questions and responses to learning content.
• Usage data such as device model, IP address, time spent in app, sections of app visited, and login and logout times
We collect information about Children’s performance and activities on our Site, including completion of courses. This information is for internal use only and will not be disclosed to other entities other than the Participant whose class the Child is in; however, we do not use this information in personally identifiable form for our own commercial purposes. Before we analyze or use any activity data for our own commercial purposes, we de-identify and/or aggregate such information.
We use personal information collected from Children for the following purposes:
• To provide our Services; and
• To respond to customer service and technical support issues and requests.
We de-identify and/or aggregate the information we collect from Children under 13 before we use it for any other purposes, as noted below.
Unique Identifiers. We only collect and use unique identifiers, such as IP addresses, as necessary to operate our Site or Services, including to maintain or analyze their functioning; perform network communications; authenticate Users or personalize content; and protect the security or integrity of Users and our Site and Services. We never use unique identifiers to track Users across third-party apps or websites.
Aggregate or De-identified Information. We may use aggregate or de-identified information about Children for research, analysis, and similar purposes. When we do so, we strip out names, e-mail, contact information, and other personal identifiers.
We may use aggregate or de-identified information for the following purposes:
• To better understand how Users access and use our Site and Services;
• To improve our Site and Services and respond to user desires and preferences; and
• To conduct research or analysis, including research and analysis by third parties.
We do not sell Children’s personal information, and a Child may not make his or her personal information public through our services.
In general, we may disclose the personal information that we collect about Children to provide our Services, to comply with the law, and to protect Boddle Learning and other Users of our Services.
For example, we may share Children’s personal information as follows:
• Participants. We may disclose information to the Child’s teacher and school district.
• Service Providers. We may disclose the information we collect from Children to third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf.
• Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the personal information we have collected from our Users to the other company.
• In Response to Legal Process. We also may disclose the personal information we collect in order to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or other legal process.
• To Protect Us and Others. We also may disclose the personal information we collect where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or this Children’s Privacy Notice, or as evidence in litigation in which Boddle is involved.
• With Parents. Parents may request information about the information we have collected from their Child by contacting us at contact@boddlelearning.com.
• Aggregate and De-Identified Information. We may also use and share aggregate or de-identified information about Users with third parties for marketing, research, or similar purposes.
