Welcome to the Privacy Policy for MathFactLab.
We recognize the importance of respecting the privacy of those who use our services and visit the website (located at www.mathfactlab.com), including all associated webpages and interactive resources (such as user profiles, blogs, and forum discussions as applicable) (our services and website are referred to together as the “Site”). We are committed to the protection of your Personal Information (as defined in this Privacy Policy). This Privacy Policy describes how we may collect and use your information. This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Site, and it should be read together with, and is incorporated into, MathFactLab
Terms of Service. All terms in this Privacy Policy that are defined in the Terms of Service have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms of Service.
We reserve the right to, at any time and in our sole discretion, add to, change, update, or modify this Privacy Policy simply by posting such addition, change, update, or modification (together, "changes") on the Privacy Policy and updating the "Last Updated" date. For instance, from time to time we may want to use information that you provide to us for new, unanticipated uses not previously addressed in our Privacy Policy. If our privacy practices change or if there is a material change in the manner in which we use Personal Information, we will update this Privacy Policy to reflect these changes. Any such changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Site will constitute your acceptance of such changes. Because this Privacy Policy may change from time to time, it is important that you regularly review this Privacy Policy to ensure that you are updated as to any changes. This Privacy Policy, and any posted changes to its terms, shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Site.
Your use of the Site and/or provision of Personal Information to us, via the Site or otherwise (such as by email, phone, regular mail, or via our social media pages), constitutes your consent to our use, storage, processing, and transfer of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and accepted the terms of this Privacy Policy. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, you expressly and unequivocally consent to: (a) the collection and processing of your Personal Information by us in accordance with the indicated purposes of this Privacy Policy; and (b) the collection and processing of Personal Information on your behalf, as indicated in this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
What is "Personal Information"?
"Personal Information" includes any information that enables us to identify you, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as your name, identification number, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to you.
Personal Information includes pseudonymized Personal Information but excludes anonymous information or information that has had the identity of an individual permanently removed (“de-identified”). Once Personal Information has been de-identified, that information is no longer Personal Information. Personal Information may be de-identified through aggregation or various other means. To allow MathFactLab to proactively address customer needs, we anticipate using de-identified information to improve our services or the Site. We would use reasonable de-identification approaches to ensure that in doing so we are not compromising the privacy or security of the Personal Information you entrust to us. We will not attempt to re-identify any de-identified data and will not transfer de-identified data to any party unless that party agrees not to attempt re-identification.
The type of information we may collect could include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, postal address, phone number, mobile number, credit card information, and other personal, identifying, or preference information you choose to provide.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY NOTICE
MathFactLab is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use the Site. This section of our Privacy Policy explains our information collection, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to information provided by children, and uses terms that are defined elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. This section of our Privacy Policy outlines our practices in the United States regarding children’s Personal Information.
COPPA and Children Under the Age of 13. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of individuals under 13 years old (“child” or “children”). MathFactLab’s Site complies with COPPA.
MathFactLab does not knowingly permit children under the age of 13 (“Child User”) to create MathFactLab accounts, but we do permit Child Users to use accounts created for them by schools/school districts (“School”) and parents/legal guardians (“Parent”). If we learn that Personal Information of a Child User has been collected on our Site without Parent or School consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a Parent and discover that your child under the age of 13 has an account with MathLabFact without consent, please contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section and request that we delete that child’s personal information from our systems.
Accounts for Child Users. Accounts for Child Users may be created in one of the following ways:
Account Created by Parent. When a Parent creates an account for a Child User, we request a username, password, and a Parent’s email address. We do not ask for more information than is necessary to provide the Site to the Child User. The Parent must provide Parental consent for the Child User to use the Site when creating the Child User’s account.
Device Information: We may collect information about the computer or mobile device you use to access the Site, including the hardware model, operating system and version, device identifiers, and mobile network information.
Account Created by School. When a School uses the Site in an educational setting, we permit the School to create Child User accounts and to provide the required consent on behalf of the Child User’s Parent for MathFactLab to collect Personal Information of a Child User for this purpose. When a School creates a Child User account, we rely on the consent provided to us by the School and do not require additional consent from the Parent.
Child User Accounts Created by Schools/Districts.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that educational institutions and agencies that receive certain federal funds (for example, public schools) get prior consent from a parent or legal guardian before disclosing any education records regarding that student to a third party. Consequently, before a school/district enters, uploads, or accesses any data concerning a minor student, the school/district must confirm that it has (1) obtained appropriate consent from the parent or guardian of that student, or (2) determined that one of the limited exceptions to the consent requirement applies.
Each school is responsible for creating student accounts for the Site. For example, schools may choose to list students’ full names, grade level, and ID number in the record for each user. Entering data in these fields is optional and is intended for administrative purposes only. The schoolwide data collected by MathFactLab may include the school’s address, grade levels, and other aggregate information about the school’s internet connection, computers, and the likelihood of students having devices such as smartphones or tablets.
Information We May Collect from Child Users and How We May Use It
The Site may include a range of materials and information, some of which are targeted primarily at Child Users, and others that are intended for users of all ages. The Site may include activities that may collect information from Child Users.
In any instance when we collect Personal Information from a Child User, we will retain that information for only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the activity request, to allow the Child User to continue to participate in the activity, to ensure the security of our users and the Site, and as required by law. In the event we discover we have collected information from a Child User in a manner inconsistent with COPPA, we will either delete the information or immediately seek the Parent’s or School’s consent for that collection. Any retained data will remain subject to the restrictions on disclosure and use outlined in this Privacy Policy for as long as it resides with us.
Collection of Information. MathFactLab may collect usernames, passwords, Parent’s email addresses/School-related email addresses when an account is created by a Parent or School for a Child User, as well as any other Personal Information a Parent or School adds to a Child User’s account. We may collect information about the Child User’s use of the Site, and we may collect usage and device information, as described in the “Collection of Information” section of this
Privacy Policy.
Persistent Identifiers. Persistent Identifiers. When Child Users interact with us, certain information may automatically be collected, both to make the Site more interesting and useful to Child Users and for various purposes related to our business purposes. Examples include the type of computer operating system, the Child User’s IP address, the web browser, the frequency with which the Child User visits various parts of our sites or applications, and information regarding the online or mobile service provider. This information is collected using technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and other unique identifiers. This information may be collected by MathFactLab or by a third party. This data is principally used for internal purposes only, in order to: provide Child Users with access to features and activities on the Site; customize content and improve the Site; conduct research and analysis to address the performance of the Site; generate anonymous reporting for use by MathFactLab. In the event we collect (or allow others to collect) such information from Child Users on the Site for other purposes, we will notify Parents and Schools and obtain consent prior to such collection.
Use of Child User Personal Information. MathFactLab may use Personal Information from Child Users to enable their use of the Site. We use this information to provide the Site and for the purposes described in the “Use of Information” section of this
Privacy Policy. We use the Parent’s email address and School-related email address to communicate messages about the Child User’s account. Unless a School or Parent expressly instructs otherwise, we will not share or reuse Child User Personal Information for any other purpose except for business purposes, as described in the “Use of Information” section of this Privacy Policy.
No Targeted Advertising. MathFactLab does not display any targeted advertising on the Site. We do not disclose Child User Personal Information for direct marketing purposes or for targeted advertising purposes.
How to access, modify, and delete Child User Accounts.
Accounts created by Parent. To access or delete a Child User’s account, please contact us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below. Please note that you will need the Child User’s username, and we may take steps to authenticate your identity before we respond to your request.
Accounts created by School. If a School creates a Child User account, you will need to direct your request to the School.
Any other inquiries may be directed as provided in the Contact Us section below. Note that we may take steps to authenticate your identity before we take action on your request.
