Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2025

1. Introduction

SOLace ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by SOLace when you use our educational testing platform.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Collection by Age Group

Our information collection practices differ based on the user's age to ensure COPPA compliance:

2.2 Information from Users Under 13

We do NOT collect any personally identifying information from users under or over the age of 13, including:

3. How We Analyze Site Activity

We use the information we collect to:

Although your activity may contribute to our larger pool of user data, no identifiable information will be associated with your device or visit.

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share only the information you voluntarily provide to us with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf such as email delivery.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

6. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal information from any users besides users over 13 who voluntarily provide us information, there is no personal data retained on our servers. Any educational progress or scores are stored locally on the user's device only.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect personal information from users under or over the age of 13. Any cookies used are strictly functional (such as maintaining accessibility preferences locally) and do not collect or transmit personal information.

7.1 Parental Control

Parents can control cookie settings in their child's browser to further limit any data collection. We recommend parents review their browser's privacy settings and consider using parental control software if desired.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

SOLace is designed as an educational platform suitable for users of all ages, including children under 13. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

8.1 Information Collection from Children Under 13

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. Our practices for users under 13 include:

8.2 Third-Party Data Collection

SOLace contains links to third-party websites. Websites that are COPPA-compliant and safe for users under 13 to access, such as Desmos, are available for all users to access through our site by default. Clicking a third-party link to a website that is designed for users over 13, such as Github, will trigger a confirmation by the browser that the user is over 13 and wishes to access the website. SOLace is not responsible for any privacy violations that occur within third-party websites we link to.

8.3 Parental Rights

Parents and legal guardians of children under 13 have the right to:

8.4 Parental Consent

If we ever change our practices to collect personal information from children under 13, we will first obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting any such information.

8.5 Contact for Child Privacy Concerns

If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about your child's privacy or believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at support@learnsolace.org with "Child Privacy" in the subject line.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your jurisdiction where privacy laws may differ. By using our Service, you consent to such transfers.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
