We refer to the data resulting from such participation, which includes but is not limited to data on when the Customer starts and stops a lesson, the responses the Customer makes to questions asked, the timing of the Customer’s responses, the Customer’s choice of character and customizations, and the choice of lessons to play as “Performance Data.” We will use Performance Data to:

In addition, we may aggregate the Customer’s Performance Data with the Performance Data of other customers participating in the Services for marketing and other business related purposes. Aggregate information will be ANONYMOUS and will not identify the Customer or be combined with other information that would allow individual Customers to be identified.
Opting-out of providing the information we request

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
For the parents or legal guardians of Customers or Users that are under the age of 18: Congress has enacted a law called the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) that is designed to protect children’s privacy during use of the Internet. Redbird Professional Learning Platform has implemented practices consistent with the guidelines provided by the Federal Trade Commission to date. Redbird Professional Learning Platform will never knowingly request, obtain, use or disclose personally identifiable information or private content from anyone under the age of 13 without parental consent. You must be the parent or legal guardian to grant such consent. If we receive this parental consent, we may receive personal information from children under the age of 13 listed on your subscription account in order to provide our Services to them. Redbird Professional Learning Platform DOES NOT SHARE CHILDREN’S PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under 13 you may, at any time, revoke your consent to allow your student to use the Services under your subscription, refuse to allow Redbird Professional Learning Platform to further use or collect your child’s personal information, or direct Redbird Professional Learning Platform to delete all identifiable information regarding your child that you have provided. To do so, please contact our Privacy Officer at the contact information below. However, if you do any of the foregoing, your child will not be able to use the Services.
To the extent that Redbird Professional Learning Platform collects, uses, or discloses personal information from children under the age of 13, it is done in strict accordance with this Privacy Policy and for the sole purpose of providing Services to the Customer and User.

The Children’s Internet Protection Act
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law enacted by Congress in December 2000 to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the “E-rate” Course — a course that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. Our Services do not provide links to external resources or chat rooms, and do not contain any offensive or inappropriate material. If you would like more information about CIPA, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html.
Redbird Professional Learning Platform does not share information with any third parties that could be used to personally identify Customers or Users. If a Customer that is an entity, educational institution or school requests that a client or student’s data be sent to a third party, with parental consent, Redbird Professional Learning Platform will send the data to the Customer and never directly to the third party.
Amendments
Redbird Professional Learning Platform may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify the User and Customer by email regarding any material changes to our privacy and security practices. Please review all revisions to the Privacy Policy. The User and Customer’s continued use of Redbird Professional Learning Platform and the Services after the date Redbird Professional Learning Platform has emailed such notices will be deemed to be the User and the Customer’s agreement to the changed terms.
