Goblins Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 24, 2024
Our Privacy Policy is fueled by our commitment to these Privacy Principles:
We’re deeply committed to creating a safe and secure online environment for you.
The only information we collect about your students pertains to their performance solving math problems, and when we do collect, we protect it with world-class security practices.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and will not disclose this information to anyone but authorized school personnel unless expressly authorized.
We strive to provide you with access to and control over the information you give us, including the option to delete information collected on students.
It is in recognition of the need for security, and our commitment to FERPA, COPPA, NY Ed Law 2-D, and EU GDPR, that Goblins has established this Privacy Policy.
Collection of information
We collect information in the following ways, depending on your use of the Service and your account settings:
We collect usernames when they access an assignment in the app. This serves as the ID for a non-permanent profile with which performance information related to that given assignment is stored. It may be a pseudonym, if you allow it.
We collect performance information including the content of conversations held in the app, which we use to provide students the in-app experience. We also use this information to infer how often students struggle with which problems, which we store so that we can share it with you.
We collect some information automatically, such as information about the devices students use to access the Service, date and time stamps of sessions, duration of sessions, and features used during sessions.
Goblins collects the minimum required personal information.
Goblins collects only the personal information required to operate its classroom web apps, software and services. It does not access browser history, contact lists, search terms, preferences, device identification, location, etc. unless directly related to providing the service.
Goblins does not condition a child's participation in any activity on the child disclosing personal information.
