The additional protections we provide for children under the age of 13 are set forth in this Children's Privacy section, and this section will govern over any conflicting provisions in our general Privacy Policy as set forth above.

We knowingly collect limited amounts of information from children under the age of 13, which may include their names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birthdates, passwords, information about the schools they attend and their parents' or legal guardians' email addresses. This information may be collected in connection with a specific request by a child to participate in Get Schooled activities and to receive email updates. We may also collect personal information from children if they send us an email or otherwise communicate with us through the Site.

When using the Site, some information is also automatically collected, such as a child's IP address, access times, and browser type and language. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only. We may also automatically collect certain information from children through the use of "cookies," but we only use such cookies for the internal operation of the Site. If we link cookies to any personally identifying information, we will treat this information as personal information. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but if you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies.

We may use personal information collected from children as follows:

• to request parental consent and approvals;
• to provide requested services, products or information and to send communications about the child's account and use of the Site, such as confirmations, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
• to process and deliver contest and sweepstakes entries and rewards;
• to respond to emails, submissions, questions, comments, requests, and complaints and provide customer service;
• to monitor and analyze Site usage and trends, and to personalize and improve the Site and our users' experiences on the Site; and
• to provide news and information about Get Schooled or third party events, activities, offers, promotions, products, and services.

We do not share such personal information about children with third parties except as follows:

• with third party vendors, consultants or service providers who need access to such information to carry out their work on behalf of Get Schooled;
• with third parties that run contests, sweepstakes, promotions, or other events or activities in connection with the Site or Get Schooled;
• with affiliated schools and/or school districts;
• if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our user agreements and policies; to protect the security or integrity of the Site; and to protect Get Schooled, our users and the public from harm or illegal activities;
• in connection with, or during the negotiation of, any merger, sale of assets, financing, acquisition, or in any other situation involving the transfer of all or part of Get Schooled's assets; and
• with your consent.

We are prohibited by law from conditioning a child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

Parents and legal guardians have the option to consent to the collection and use of their child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents also have the right to review the personal information collected online from their child, ask to have it deleted, and refuse to permit us to collect any further personal information from their child. To make such requests, please contact Get Schooled at [email protected].
