Unsafe Interactions:

Parental Consent:
- When we provide services on behalf of a school, Boddle Learning acts as a data processor and, under FERPA, as a "school official." The school provides consent for us to collect and process information from students under the age of 13, as permitted by theChildren's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We collect, maintain, use, and share student records only for authorized educational purposes
If we learn we have collected information beyond what is permitted (such as a child’s full name or contact details), we will delete it promptly.

- As required by law, such as in response to a court order
- If necessary to protect safety or prevent illegal activity
- In conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our business, provided that we take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so the prospective purchaser or merger partner does not disclose information obtained in the course of the review.
We may also use aggregated or de-identified data (which cannot identify an individual student) to improve Boddle’s services

8. User Deletion

Note that you may also delete certain Personal Information you have provided to us through your online account.
When processing a request to delete, we may erase some information and we may de-identify some information (when we de-identify information, we implement technical safeguards and business processes that prohibit re-identification, business processes to prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information, and will make no attempt to re-identify the information).
