Children's privacy is important to us. This section explains our information collection, disclosure, parental consent practices and parental choice procedures and controls, with respect to information provided by your children, particularly those under the age of 13 (“Child” or “Children”). This policy is in accordance with protecting children online and UK law.
Collection: The Mind Gig Ltd collect Personal Data about Children directly from parents, carers or teachers (referred to here as “Parents”) and, when we have verified parental consent of Parents, directly from Children. Children cannot enroll in courses through the website. We may allow Children to suggest courses or webinars they like or want to attend, but can only attend courses if their Parents enroll them. Parents provide us with the Child’s name and age. Parents may additionally provide us with descriptions of the type of schooling their Child attends, local time zone, and additional notes for their class teacher. We may collect other Personal Data about Children, including passively collected data, as described in our general Privacy Notice, with the exception that we do not collect payment information from Children or allow third parties to use Personal Data collected through analytics cookies for their own purposes. We also do not condition participation in our data collection for Children on the collection of more Personal Data than is reasonably necessary.
Live Classes: Children’s video image will not be shown in any recorded live classes. Children may share information about themselves during online live classes but the majority of our teaching is online with pre-written Courses and pre-recorded Webinars. Any The Mind Gig Ltd sessions which take place over online videos in which video images and audio of the Children are recorded, this will be discussed first with the childs' parents. Once we obtain verified parental consent, we may use and share Personal Data collected from Children for many of the same purposes described in the general Privacy Notice. We recommend courses and/or webinars to Parents based on Childrens’ activities on our Site. At times, we may allow Children and Parents to submit content, including photos and artwork, along with other information about the Child (like age, first name or initials and city, state, and country) that you may allow us to display publicly. Parents should review Children’s submissions and avoid uploading any private information about the Children, family members, or others. The Mind Gig Ltd is not responsible for what other third parties do with information you choose to share publicly.
Disclosure: The Mind Gig Ltd will obtain additional parental consent before we use any Live Class recordings for promotional or other purposes.
Parental Consent: The Mind Gig Ltd will obtain additional parental consent before we use any Live Class recordings for promotional or other purposes. The Mind Gig Ltd will send a direct notice with these privacy disclosures and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, and sharing Personal Data from your Child.
Parental Choices and Controls: At any time, you can review and refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Data from your Children in association with your account. You can also request that we delete from our records the Personal Data we have collected in connection with that account. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a termination of an account, membership, or participation in or Courses or Workshops. You may review and update certain parts of your Child’s profile by logging into your account.
Children can privately message Teachers of the course/s they’re enrolled in. Parents must also be in receipt of these messages.
Teachers may suggest to Children and their Parents to use third party sites and services. Parents should review the privacy notices for those third party sites and services to understand their privacy practices. We are not responsible for nor do we systematically monitor those third party sites and services.
