  • Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies to the KidsLipi Learning App, Android version 3.1.0, iOS version 3.1.0, and subsequent versions of the App. The privacy policy last revised August 1, 2020 (available upon request) applies to all prior versions of the App. This policy applies only to information we collect through this App and in email, text, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with this App, including though our Website.

This policy DOES NOT apply to information that:

  • We collect through means unrelated to the App or on any other Company apps or websites.
  • You provide to or is collected by any third party.

Our other apps and these third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use this App. By downloading, registering with, or using this App, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time as described in the “Changes to Our Privacy Policy” section below. Your continued use of this App after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Children Under the Age of 13

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information as defined by COPPA (as used in this section, “personal information”) from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This section notifies parents of:

  • The types of information we may collect from children.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.
  • All operators that collect or maintain information from children through the app.

This section only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements the other provisions of this privacy policy. Only the other provisions of this privacy policy apply to teens and adults.

Information We Collect from Children

Children can access many parts of the App and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users or require us to collect certain information, including personal information. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the App.

We only collect as much personal information as is reasonably necessary for a user to participate in an activity, and we do not condition a user’s participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Information We Collect Directly

A user may use the general features of the App by downloading it through the user’s app store and without entering any personal information. In order to use certain features within the App, a user (parent) must register through a valid email address, name, and a subscription activation code. When a user enters an email address, name, and subscription code, the email address and name are retained.

School Provided Children Info

We may collect children’s names from a school that uses KidsLipi learning platform. A school may use children’s names to assign them to a class, to understand their language learning progress through the app, and other reporting needs. The school content and children information made available in the app only after a user (parent) has activated a child’s school subscription.

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

We may use technology to automatically collect information from our users when they access and navigate through the App and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include one or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time.

We do collect your child’s learning progress if you have registered with the app and have activated a school subscription. The learning progress is made available to your child’s school teachers and school personals.

We also may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.
