What about children’s privacy?
The site is not targeted to children, however, we do store information about children under the age of 13 that has been provided by parents or teachers for use in our online applications to improve the reading ability of children. We do not sell products for purchase by children; we sell children’s products for purchase by adults. Information collected from parents or legal guardians includes children’s name and grade. Parents have access to summary data collected for their child and can request a complete record of data including their child’s performance data within our online reading assessment and improvement courses. This data includes name, class assignment (when used through a school or institution) and all performance and assessment data collected. Summary information is accessible through the Parent/Student Report tab which is available within the student login area. Parents can review their child’s personal information, ask to have it deleted and refuse to allow any further collection or use of their child’s information. If at any time you decide that you would like your child’s information removed from our records, or would like to request all data collected on your child, please send an e-mail to info@maxscholar.com with your name in the subject line and include your request within the body of the email.
