Your privacy and your child's safety are our top priorities. Learn how we protect and handle your data.
At KCoding, we are committed to protecting the privacy of children and their families. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Kids Coding Platform. We comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and other applicable privacy laws to ensure a safe learning environment.
We collect information that you provide directly, including: student name, age, grade level, parent/guardian contact information (email and phone number), billing information, and learning progress data. We also automatically collect certain information about your device, including IP address, browser type, and usage patterns to improve our services.
We use the collected information to: provide and maintain our coding education services, process payments and send receipts, communicate about classes, schedules, and updates, personalize the learning experience, monitor and analyze usage patterns, improve our platform and curriculum, ensure platform security and prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
For children under 13, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information. Parents have the right to: review their child's personal information, request deletion of their child's information, refuse further collection of their child's information, and receive notifications of any changes to our privacy practices. Parents can exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@kcoding.com.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including: encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), secure data storage with encryption at rest, regular security audits and updates, restricted access to personal information, and secure payment processing through trusted third-party providers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We do not sell or rent children's personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances: with service providers who assist in operating our platform (under strict confidentiality agreements), with instructors for educational purposes only, when required by law or legal process, to protect the safety and rights of our users, or with your explicit consent.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and analyze platform usage. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Essential cookies required for platform functionality cannot be disabled. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow behavioral tracking of children.
Our platform may use third-party services for: payment processing (Stripe), video conferencing (Zoom or similar), email communications, and analytics. These services operate under their own privacy policies and we ensure they comply with applicable child privacy protection laws. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your information within 30 days, except for information we must retain for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify users of any material changes by email or through a prominent notice on our platform. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For parents of children under 13, we will obtain renewed consent if required.
