Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13. The intended use of this Website is as a tool to advance the education of students in middle and high school (secondary school). In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information collected from a child under 13, please contact us at info@rhymeswithreason.com

Schools Privacy

In some circumstances, we may permit a School to register Students to our service for the purpose of providing educational services. Because Rhymes with Reason provides the Service to School to benefit and enhance the School’s curriculum, Rhymes with Reason relies on the school to obtain and provide appropriate consent, if needed, to collect personal information of students.
The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain clear and verifiable parental consent before receiving personal information from children under 13. Because Rhymes with Reason provides the Service to School to benefit and enhance the School’s curriculum, RHYMES WITH REASON RELIES ON SCHOOL TO OBTAIN AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CONSENT, IF NEEDED, TO COLLECT STUDENT INFORMATION. School represents and warrants that School has the authority to provide consent for Rhymes with Reason to collect information from students before allowing students under 13 to access our Service, and that School has provided appropriate disclosures to students and parents regarding School’s sharing of Student Data with service providers such as Rhymes with Reason. We recommend that School provide a copy of our Privacy Policy to parents and guardians.
