We are committed to protecting the privacy of educators and students. Our platform is designed for use by teachers and administrators — not by children — and we take our responsibilities under applicable privacy laws seriously.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only for authentication and session management. These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.

We do not use:

• Tracking or analytics cookies
• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Third-party cookies

No cookie consent banner is required because we do not use any non-essential cookies.

Third-Party Services

Our platform uses the following categories of third-party services to operate:

• Authentication and database hosting — for secure account management and data storage
• AI content generation APIs — to generate lesson plans, activity descriptions, and educational images based on your curriculum preferences
• Email delivery services — for account-related transactional emails (e.g., password resets, account verification)
• Cloud storage and hosting — for serving the platform and storing generated content

These providers process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect your information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS)
• Secure password hashing
• Row-level security policies on our database
• Regular security reviews of our infrastructure

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account, please contact us immediately.

FERPA Compliance

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student education records.

Our platform is designed for educator use and does not collect, store, or process student education records. Teachers use Little Learning Grove to plan curriculum and generate instructional materials — not to record, track, or report student data.

If your school or district requires a data processing agreement or additional privacy documentation, please contact us and we will work with you to meet those requirements.

We will not knowingly collect student personally identifiable information through our platform. If we become aware that student education records have been uploaded to our platform, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

COPPA Compliance

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13.

Little Learning Grove is not directed to children. Our platform is designed exclusively for use by educators, administrators, and other adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through our platform, please contact us immediately and we will delete that information.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your account information and generated content for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the email address below.

Upon account deletion, we will remove your personal information and generated content from our active systems within 30 days. Some information may persist in encrypted backups for a limited period before being overwritten.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Export your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
