Welcome to OpenKidsPrep ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit openkidsprep.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require account registration to use OpenKidsPrep. We collect minimal information automatically when you visit:
- Log data: your browser type, pages visited, time and date of visit, and referring URLs — collected automatically by our hosting provider.
- Cookies: small text files placed on your device by us or our third-party partners (see Section 4).
- Usage data: aggregated, anonymized analytics about how visitors interact with the Site (pages viewed, time on page, etc.).
We collect email addresses when visitors voluntarily submit them through our email capture forms (e.g., to receive a free study guide or to unlock additional practice questions). Submission requires confirming you are 13 or older. We do not collect names or other personally identifiable information beyond what you voluntarily provide.
2. How We Use Information
- To operate and improve the Site and its educational content.
- To understand how visitors use the Site (aggregate analytics only).
- To serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense (see Section 4).
- To respond to contact form submissions.
3. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
OpenKidsPrep is an educational resource designed for parents, guardians, and teachers to help prepare K–8 students for standardized tests. This Site is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. It is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. All email submission forms on the Site include an age confirmation checkbox requiring the submitter to confirm they are 13 or older, or a parent or guardian completing the form on behalf of their child.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has submitted personal information to us without your consent, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete it.
Because our content is appropriate for use alongside children, we configure our advertising to serve non-personalized ads where required by law, and we participate in Google's program for child-directed content where applicable.
4. Advertising — Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our site. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites, visit: google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. We use cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (e.g., selected age group on skill booster pages).
- Understand aggregate traffic patterns via analytics.
- Enable Google AdSense to serve relevant advertising.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies — see your browser's help documentation for instructions.
6. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
7. Data Security
We implement standard security measures appropriate for a static website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information.
8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request information about personal information we have collected about you and to request deletion of that information. Because we collect minimal personal data, most requests will be straightforward. Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
