Direct Notice to Parents

We provide our COPPA Notice in full below for your convenience. Please review this information carefully before providing your consent on enrollment.

Our Privacy Notice online explains how we, Outschool, Inc., collect and use personal data when you use our online services (such as classes, groups, etc.), including apps (together, our "Services"). This Notice addresses what you need to know before you provide your consent. In general, this information applies to all learners where local law regulates activities to children under certain ages. For the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), this is under 13 years.

Personal Information We Collect from Your Child

We collect some information about your child from you when you create a Learner profile for them, including their name, age, and other information you provide. This information may be combined with information we collect from your child as described below.

We collect the following information directly from children when they use our Services: (i) information about the Classes, Activities, or other Services which your child engages in; (ii) information your child shares, such as uploaded drawings or photos, video and audio, and the history of activity in and with Outschool; and (iii) feedback your child sends us and Class or Educator reviews your child writes, or questions and information your child provides to customer support. We also collect the content of your child’s messages and communications as necessary to provide your child with the Services your child uses.

We also get data about how your child uses Outschool, including website activity, which pages they’ve visited, and other similar data. We do use technology, like cookies and other trackers, to help us gather information about activities once logged into Outschool, but we do not allow third-party analytics or advertising providers to collect personal data for their own purposes in the Learner mode.

Limited consent accounts

Children may have tried to sign up with an account on their own. If so, Parents will receive an email verifying agreement to these limited activities. The information we collect is limited, such as they can like classes and choose an avatar, but Learners (Children) cannot enroll in classes and their information is not shared to Teachers or other Learners.

Parents can "upgrade" the account to full access. Once Parents provide verified parental consent for children to enroll in classes, groups, or other activities, it includes agreement to carry over the information from these limited activities to the full child Learner account. This information includes classes they may have liked, free challenges they may have participated in, etc.

If you do not agree with carrying over the information, please let us know at privacy@outschool.com.
