Skill Struck, LLC (“Skill Struck”) values the privacy of children and of all of its users. This COPPA Privacy Policy (“COPPA Policy”) is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and contains important information about how we collect, use, and disclose the personal information we collect from children under thirteen years old who take courses provided through our website, https://www.skillstruck.com/, (the “Site”) and the services, such as courses, provided on our Site (the “Services”). Skill Struck provides online courses in software coding and web development. Skill Struck may partner with foundations, non-profits, or for-profit entities to make these courses available to schools and other educational organizations. In the course of providing these Services, Skill Struck may come into contact with information, including personal information, from the course taker. Some, but not all, courses are directed towards children under 13. This COPPA Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect from children under 13 through Skill Struck courses directed towards children.

From children under 13, we utilize the date of birth to verify the child’s age but do not store the age. We only store whether or not the child is under 13. If a child is under 13, we collect the child’s first name, and last initial. We do not ask children for their full last name. Children must create their own usernames, but are not required to provide an email. We only use user name and email address (if provided) to track a child’s progress in our courses or to reset passwords; we will not contact a child using his or her email address or username. We may also collect additional demographic information (such as race and gender) from children; however, we do not associate this with the child’s name or other personal information and we use it only to compile aggregate and de-identified information about participants in our courses. Parents may ask us to stop collecting personal information from their child by emailing us at support@skillstruck.com. However, in such cases the child will not be able to take or complete our courses. If a parent directs us to stop collecting and using a child’s personal information, we must disable his or her use of our courses to ensure that no information is collected.
