7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance & Responsible Adult Expectations)

Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. This section is intended for parents, guardians, and educators (“Responsible Adults”).

Learning Quests is designed for adults on behalf of children. We do not allow children to register accounts or provide personal data independently. Most content is accessible without creating an account, and any interactive tools are supervised by a Responsible Adult.

Here’s what you need to know:
▪️ You remain in full control. Responsible Adults create and manage accounts, set privacy preferences, and determine how children engage with Learning Quests.
▪️ We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
▪️ Any content produced by a child must be reviewed by you. Ensure it doesn’t contain real names, addresses, or other identifying details.
▪️ Child-facing content is private by default. Nothing is shared unless you choose to make it public.
▪️ You can request to access, edit, or delete your child’s information at any time by contacting us at support@learning-quests.com.
▪️ We strongly encourage children to:
▪️ Use a username only (no real names)
▪️ Avoid sharing personal details like age, address, or school
▪️ Never post identifiable information in responses or shared spaces

Please note: Once content is shared online, it may be screen-captured or shared by others. Learning Quests is not responsible for content made public by a Responsible Adult.

8. How We Store and Share Data

Your data is stored on secure U.S.-based servers or those of our trusted providers. When transferred internationally (e.g., Koala Go), we use standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

We do not sell your data. We may share it only:
▪️ With service providers who support our platform
▪️ If legally required (e.g., subpoenas, investigations)
▪️ To prevent fraud or protect user safety
▪️ In the event of a business transfer (e.g., merger or acquisition)

9. Your Rights (U.S., EU, and Virginia Residents)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
▪️ Access or correct your personal data
▪️ Request deletion of your data
▪️ Object to certain types of data processing
▪️ Withdraw consent at any time
▪️ File a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: support@learning-quests.com

10. Data Security

We implement strong safeguards to protect your data:
▪️ SSL encryption
▪️ Secure payment processors
▪️ Access control measures

While no service is 100% secure, we will notify users and authorities in the event of a data breach as required by law.

11. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your information only as long as needed for business, legal, or operational purposes. After that, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.

You may request deletion of your data at any time.
