Privacy Policy

Kindest Generation LLC operates multiple educational programs, including The Giving Classroom and International School of America (ISA). We provide award-winning educational resources, service learning opportunities, and personalized learning programs for students and families worldwide. We prioritize safety, transparency, and responsible data handling in everything we do.

We collect only the information necessary to create educational accounts, provide learning services, and improve the user experience. This may include:

• Student name, parent/guardian name, and email address during enrollment.
• Basic profile information required to create secure Google Classroom accounts.
• Learning progress and assignment completion data within our platform.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as social security numbers, payment information (processed securely by Stripe), or biometric data.

We use the information we collect to:

• Set up secure access to educational platforms.
• Deliver personalized learning paths and assignments.
• Communicate updates about courses, projects, and community opportunities.
• Improve our services and educational offerings.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

The Giving Classroom and ISA are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We use Google Workspace for Education to manage student accounts and secure data, benefiting from Google's strict privacy practices, including:

• Data encryption at rest and in transit.
• Limited data usage policies designed for educational purposes only.
• Adherence to industry-leading privacy certifications (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018).

Parents and guardians have the right to review, modify, or request the deletion of their child's information at any time.

To enhance the educational experience, we integrate trusted third-party applications such as Nearpod, Flocabulary, Khan Academy, Defined Learning, Canva, and Code.org.

Each third-party provider maintains its own privacy policy and data practices. We encourage users to review these policies to understand how they manage data independently.

We may share limited information (such as user ID or learning progress) with third-party educational platforms solely to deliver learning services.

We never share data for advertising, marketing, or unrelated commercial purposes.

All data sharing is conducted securely and strictly for supporting the student's educational experience.

Parents and guardians have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we have collected about their child.
• Request the correction or deletion of their child's personal information.
• Refuse further collection or use of their child's information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at learn@thegivingclassroom.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or in relevant laws.
