Our classes are for children aged 5–18, so protecting their data comes first.

• Our website is for parents. Children should not submit information through our website. If we learn that a child has sent us personal information without a parent’s consent, we will delete it.

• One standard for every student under 18. Laws set different ages for a “child”: under 18 in India, 13 to 16 in EU countries, 13 in the UK, and under 13 for COPPA in the US. We treat every student under 18 as a child and require a parent’s or guardian’s consent, wherever they live.

• Consent before the first class. A parent or guardian books every class, including the free trial, and gives consent for us to collect and use their child’s information as this policy describes, by ticking a consent box when they book. At the start of the free trial, the mentor confirms on camera that the parent is present and agrees, before recording starts. For enrolled students, the parent’s payment confirms consent again. Where the law requires, we may take extra steps to verify that you are the child’s parent or guardian and an adult.

• Only what we need. From a child we collect only what we need to teach: first name, age or grade, level, their participation in live classes, their projects and their progress. We never ask children for their address, phone number, email, photos or social media accounts.

• No advertising, no selling, no profiling. We never use children’s data for advertising, never sell it, and never profile children for any purpose other than following their learning progress.

• Coding and AI tools. In class, children use learning tools such as Scratch, ScratchJr, block-based app builders, Python and child-appropriate AI tools. We choose tools that do not need a child account wherever possible. Where a tool needs an account, we ask the parent to create or approve it, and that tool’s own privacy policy applies. Children under 13 use generative AI tools only through their mentor’s shared screen, not through accounts of their own. Mentors teach every child never to type personal information into an AI tool.

• Your child’s projects and image. We never publish your child’s projects, name, image or voice — for example on our website or social media — without your separate written permission. You can withdraw that permission at any time.

• Your control. As a parent or guardian, you can review your child’s information, correct it, have it deleted, stop us collecting more, or withdraw consent at any time by contacting us (Section 15).
