At KidBridge, your family's privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what
information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it — including special
protections for children under 13 in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act).

group classes for students in Grades 1–8 across the United States. References to
"KidBridge," "we," "us," or "our" in this policy refer to the KidBridge service and its

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
🛡️ We take children's privacy seriously. KidBridge does not directly
collect personal information from children. All enrollment information is collected from
the parent or legal guardian. We do not require students to create accounts or submit
personal data independently.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without
verifiable parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information
from a child without proper parental consent, please contact us immediately at
admin@kidbridge.org
and we will promptly delete it.
Parents have the right to:
- Review the personal information we have collected about their child.
- Request deletion of their child's personal information.
- Refuse to permit further collection or use of their child's information.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:
- To process enrollment and confirm registration.
- To schedule and deliver live online classes.
- To communicate with parents about class schedules, progress reports, and updates.
- To send class links, reminders, and important announcements.
- To process payments and maintain billing records.
- To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form.
- To improve our services based on attendance and participation patterns.
We do not use your information for advertising, behavioral profiling, or
resell it to any third party.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information only in the
following limited circumstances:
-
Service providers: Trusted platforms used to deliver our service (e.g.,
Zoom, Google Meet) under their own privacy policies. We share only the minimum
information required (such as student first name for class roster purposes).
-
Payment processors: Secure third-party payment services to process
transactions. We do not store payment card details.
-
Legal obligations: If required by law or to protect the rights, safety,
or property of KidBridge, students, or the public.
6. Data Storage & Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from
unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. These include:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted through our website.
-
Limited access to personal data — only staff who need the information to deliver
services can access it.
- Secure, password-protected systems for storing enrollment records.
No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. In the unlikely
event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected
families promptly.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in
this policy:
-
Enrollment and billing records are retained for up to 3 years after the end of the
academic year for accounting and compliance purposes.
-
Class attendance and progress records are retained for up to 2 years after the academic
year ends.
- Contact form inquiries are retained for up to 1 year.
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us (see Section 9).
8. Third-Party Platforms
KidBridge conducts live classes via Zoom and/or
Google Meet. When students join these sessions, their use of those
platforms is also subject to Zoom's and Google's respective privacy policies. We encourage
parents to review those policies. KidBridge is not responsible for data collected directly
by these platforms.
Our website may contain links to external resources. We are not responsible for the
privacy practices of those external sites.

Parents and guardians have the following rights regarding their personal information:
-
Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
and your child.
-
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

legal retention requirements).

10. Cookies
Our website uses minimal, essential cookies only — these are required for the website to
function correctly (e.g., form submission). We do not use tracking cookies, advertising
cookies, or third-party analytics that track you across other websites.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be
posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage parents to review this
policy periodically. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes
acceptance of the updated policy.
