At Abcmouse Learning Academy, we deeply value your family’s privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. We understand the importance of online safety, especially when it comes to children’s educational experiences. This document explains our approach to data privacy, particularly concerning the sharing of personal information, and how it aligns with regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
The CCPA grants you specific rights regarding your personal information. One key aspect is the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information. It’s important to understand that the CCPA defines “sell” broadly. It includes not only exchanging personal information for money but also disclosing it to third parties for anything of value. Like many online platforms, Abcmouse Learning Academy works with advertising and analytics partners to improve our services and provide relevant content. In some instances, this may involve sharing certain information, such as cookies or device identifiers, which under the CCPA could be considered a “sale” of personal information.
However, we want to assure you that Abcmouse Learning Academy does not monetize your children’s personal information by selling it for monetary gain. Our priority is to provide a safe and enriching learning environment. Any data sharing is aimed at enhancing your experience and supporting the functionality of our platform.
