When performing these tasks, service providers often have access to your personal information. We may sometimes allow them to use aggregated or de-identified information for other purposes, in accordance with applicable laws.

The following provides more information about the circumstances in which we may be disclosing personal information to third parties that are not service providers.
We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal information we hold about you, including choices about how we use that information. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices are enforceable as rights under applicable law.
In General
Communications Preferences
We may offer a variety of commercial emails and email newsletters. You can unsubscribe from them by following the instructions near the bottom of the email. You can also email us at info@respellr.com.
Access, Correct, Change/Update, Delete or Restrict Processing of Your Personal Information
In some jurisdictions, you may exercise the following choices:
Browser and Platform Controls
California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have certain rights with respect to your personal information.

At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices. You can find these details in this Privacy Policy.
Rights to Know, Correction and Deletion
Please see “Access, Correct, Change/Update, Delete, or Restrict Processing of Your Personal Information” above for details.
“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”
If you’re a California resident, you have a right to opt-out from the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information with third parties who are not our service providers (as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, or “CCPA” for short in this Policy). To exercise this right, click the Do Not Sell/Share My Information link on the bottom of the webpage where your information is being collected. You can also submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at info@respellr.com with the subject line “California Resident - Do Not Sell or Share.”
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
You have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law. To opt-out from such additional purposes, contact customer care.
California “Shine the Light” Privacy Rights
Under the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents can opt out of our sharing of their information to third parties (and sometimes affiliates) for their direct marketing purposes. To do so, please contact customer care.
We store your personal information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason why we obtained it (consistent with applicable law). This means we might retain your personal information even after you close your account with us. Rather than delete your data, we might de-identify it by removing identifying details.
We protect your personal information with appropriate organizational, technological and physical safeguards — but we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We recommend that you use complex and unique passwords for your account. Do not share your password with anyone. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, notify us immediately.
We are headquartered in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, your information is collected in your country and then transferred to the United States — or to another country in which we (or our affiliates or service providers) operate.
In some jurisdictions, like the European Union and the European Economic Area, we only collect, use or share information about you when we have a valid reason. This is called a “lawful basis.”
Specifically, this is one of the following:
We have a legitimate interest in gathering and processing personal information, for example: (a) to ensure that our networks and information are secure; (b) to administer and generally conduct business; (c) to prevent fraud; and (d) to conduct our marketing activities.
We are always improving our products and services. These updates sometimes require us to collect new information or use what we already have differently. Further, the laws regarding personal information and privacy frequently change. As a result, we must periodically update this Privacy Policy. We will post any changes on this page by updating this policy. If we make a significant or material change in the way we collect, use or share your personal information, we will notify you at least 30 days prior to the changes taking effect. We will do this via email or prominent notice within the website. If you object to any change, you can stop using our website and services. After we post any changes on this page, your continued use of our website and services is subject to the updated Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions, email us at info@respellr.com !

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, "COPPA") require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this policy, "parents") about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 ("children"). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child's parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child's personal information.
This policy notifies parents of:
This policy only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements our general privacy policy. Only our general privacy policy applies to teens and adults.
Terms that are defined in the general privacy policy have the same meanings as used in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13.
Information We Collect from Children
Children can access many parts of the Platform and Services and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only to registered users, requiring us to collect certain information, including personal information, from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Platform and Services.
We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.
Information We Collect Directly
A child must provide us with the following information to register with this website: the child's first name, last name, birthdate, parents’ names, teachers’ names, school names, zip code and a parent's email address. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.
We enable registered users to communicate with others on or through the Platform and Services through chat, email, images and posting to public areas. The nature of these features allows children to disclose personal information about themselves. We do not monitor or review this content before it is posted, and we do not control the actions of third parties with whom your child shares his or her information. We encourage parents to educate their children about safe internet use and to monitor their children's use of social features.
Automatic Information Collection and Tracking
We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Platform and Services and use certain of its features.
The information we collect through these technologies may include:
For information about our automatic information collection practices, including how you can opt out of certain information collection, see the "Information Collected Automatically” and "What Are Your Rights and Choices" sections of our general privacy policy.
How We Use Your Child's Information

We use the information we collect automatically through technology and other non-personal information we collect to improve our Service and to deliver a better and more personalized experience by enabling us to store information about the child's preferences, allowing us to customize the content according to individual interests.
Our Practices for Disclosing Children's Information
We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children's personal information other than as described in this section.
We may disclose aggregated information about many of our users, and information that does not identify any individual or device. In addition, we may disclose children's personal information:
If we are involved in a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding or event, we may transfer the personal information we have collected or maintain to the buyer or other successor.
Accessing and Correcting Your Child's Personal Information
At any time, you may review the child's personal information maintained by us, require us to correct or delete the personal information, and/or refuse to permit us from further collecting or using the child's information.
You can review, change, or delete your child's personal information by:
