We might share your personal data: 

• With companies in our family of companies. In legal terms, our subsidiaries or affiliates. We will only do this if it’s necessary for our business (AKA providing access to the Website). 
• If our company joins with another company, sells some of its business, or changes in certain ways. In legal terms, a corporate purchase, merger, or acquisition; a sale/transfer of all or some of our business interests and/or assets; or in connection with a corporate restructuring. We will make sure your personal data stays safe. 
• If the law tells us to, or to help with important investigations or legal cases. If we share your personal data with government or law enforcement officials, we can’t promise they will keep it private and safe.

How Do We Keep your Personal Data Safe?

We care a lot about keeping your personal data safe. We have done a lot of hard work to keep your personal data safe from anyone who might not protect it or try to steal it from us. We use technology to hide your account password and make sure only Kiddom and authorized third parties can see Web Visitors’ personal data. 

In legal terms: We have implemented and will maintain technical, administrative, and physical measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your personal data from unauthorized processing. Unauthorized processing includes unauthorized access, exfiltration, theft, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Some of those measures include encryption of the transmission of login information using secure socket layer technology (SSL); we do not store your password, instead we store a result of an irreversible operation performed on your password to verify its validity. Kiddom also implements role-based access that restricts access to personal data to only those persons with a “need-to-know” (teachers or school administrators).  

Special Protections for Students and Kids

We follow pledges and laws that protect students and kids, like those listed below:

• Student Privacy Pledge – This is a public promise (we signed!) to be responsible with students’ personal data. You can learn more here.  
• Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) – This law protects the privacy of children under 13 years old.
• We do not knowingly collect personal data from kids under the age of 13 through our Website.
• If we find out we are processing a child’s personal data for which we don’t have a parent’s permission, we will quickly delete this personal data. 
• While we do not knowingly collect personal data from children, our Website processing activities are age-neutral. We don’t ask kids to give us more information than what we need to run the Website. If we find out we have more personal data than we need, we will quickly delete this personal data. 
• The personal data of children who are Web Visitors will not be made publicly available. 
• If you think a child gave us personal data they shouldn’t have, let us know at privacy@kiddom.co.
