EC2 KIDS (“we”) is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use this website (the "Site"). This children's privacy policy ("Children's Privacy Policy") explains our information collection, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to information provided by children under the age of 13 ("child" or "children"). This Children’s Privacy Policy can be seen as an amendment to our general Privacy Policy.

Below we summarize potential instances of collection and outline how and when we will provide parental notice and/or seek parental consent. In any instance that we collect personal information from a child, we will retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the activity request or allow the child to continue to participate in the activity and ensure the security of our users and our services, or as required by law. 

1. Registration

In certain cases, children can register with our site to create and view associated content and view other's content. During the registration process, we may ask the child to provide certain information for notification and security purposes, including a parent or guardian's email address, the child's account username, and password. We instruct children under the age of 13 to input their parent or guardian's email address and to not use their first or last name when creating a username. EC2 KIDS will not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably necessary in order to participate in the online activity and services we offer.

The site also may allow users to register by using the password associated with certain third-party accounts (e.g., their Google or Facebook accounts). Please review those companies' terms of use and privacy policies for information about the personal information that they collect when registering for an account with them. The only information required by EC2 KIDS upon registering, whether in association with a third-party account or not, is a username, email, and password. If your account is authenticated via a third-party account, we strongly recommend you change the username and password different to your third-party account once you register.

2. The collection of parent email address

We instruct children under the age of 13 to insert their parent's, guardian's or, as explained below, the education provider's email address upon registration. An email confirming registration will be sent to the address used. If you believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent/guardian have NOT received an email providing notice or seeking your consent, please contact us at info@ec2kids.co.uk to provide us permission or request that we delete the child's account and any associated information. We may use the parent’s or guardian’s email provided for parental consent for our email campaign. However, parents and guardians can simply opt-out of the campaign by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in our email. 

3. Content generated by a child

Certain activities associated with the use of the site may allow users to communicate directly with other users by means of a comments board. We strongly encourage children who use these interactive features on our site never to provide personal information about themselves or any third party. However, it is the responsibility of parents to carefully supervise their children when their children participate in online activities. EC2 KIDS is not responsible or liable for its publication of any user-generated content or information or any harm that flows from the dissemination of such content.

The site's comments board may be operated by a third party, for example, wix.com. In those instances, in which users post comments while logged in, the user's username and email address will be shared with the third party. A link to the third party's terms and policies will be provided as well:

4. Anonymous Information

​

We may collect information to help us understand the user’s needs and make improvements using Cookies and Google Analytics. These pieces of monitoring software are carefully selected by EC2 KIDS before implemented into the website. The software may collect anonymous information such as the pages you visit on EC2 KIDS and how long you stay. For more information please refer to clauses 6 and 7 in the general Privacy Policy.

5. When do we share children’s information with the other?

​

We may share or disclose personal information collected from children in a limited number of instances, including the following:

• When it is necessary for our service providers to perform a business, professional or technical support function for us

• When the user makes the information public, such as by posting a comment the username will be shown

• When permitted or required by law, for example, in response to a court order or to prevent against fraud

• When we believe disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime, facilitate an investigation related to public safety or protect the safety of a child using our sites or application

• When we believe that the data need to be disclosed in order to protect the security or integrity of our sites, applications, and other technology, as well as the technology of our service providers

• to enable us to take precautions against liability.

6. Parental Choices and Controls

​

At any time, parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal information from their children in association with a particular account and can request that we delete from our records the personal information we have collected in connection with that account. Please keep in mind that a request to delete information may lead to the deletion of an account and associated content, comments and publications.

Parents can request access to and delete their child's personal information by logging on to the child's account through the applicable EC2 KIDS Article page. Parents will need their child's username and password. 

Parents can contact EC2 KIDS to request access to, change, or delete their child's personal information by sending an email to us at ellenjyang@gmail.com

​

In any correspondence such as e-mail or mail, please include the child's username and the parent's email address and telephone number. To protect children's privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify a parent's identity before granting access to any personal information.
