California Online Privacy Protection (COPPA) Act Statement

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more here.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously
• Once our Legal | Privacy Statement policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page.
• Our Legal | Privacy Statement. includes the word ‘Privacy’, and can be easily be found on the page specified above.
• Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Legal | Privacy Statement.
• Users are able to change their personal information by logging in to their account

Makers Empire Software

The Makers Empire 3D app is accessed by students using accounts with unique usernames. These usernames can be chosen by the school and designed to not identify the child. Teachers have the ability to associate usernames with students names, but are able to make these general (e.g. “Mark H”).

Email addresses can be added to accounts but are not necessary. Teachers can use their own email address for all students in their class.

Schools can choose privacy settings – student designs can be shared:

1. publicly;
2. only within a school;
3. only with other schools

Any shared designs will also include the username of the designer.

Information Collected

We respect the privacy of children, and do not collect any more personal information than reasonably necessary to enable them to use Makers Empire.

It is possible to use Makers Empire 3D app without entering any personally identifiable information.

We do not have any agreements with outside organizations to collect personal information on our website or 3D app.

We do not share children’s (or adult’s) personal information with any third party.
