Privacy Policy

Typing.com LLC dba EduTyping ("EduTyping.com") keeps all user and account information collected strictly private and confidential. All information we collect (as described herein) is used solely for educational purposes. We do not share, sell, or otherwise give away private information to anyone. At most, some non-personal information such as IP address and web browser version are made available to third-party services that allow us to improve and administer the site.

It is the policy of EduTyping.com to adhere to, and cooperate with school districts in meeting, all applicable privacy and security standards for the collection, storing, securing, and use of personal user information as set forth in state and federal regulations, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

EduTyping.com has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This privacy policy applies to information, including personal information, that EduTyping.com collects about you when you use the EduTyping.com website.

EduTyping.com offers both a free trial (Student and Teacher) version and a premium (Student and Teacher), licensed version. The personal information we collect is dependent upon the version utilized.

EduTyping.com is designed to teach touch typing to K-12 students. Student enrollment in, and use of, EduTyping.com services is initiated and managed by teachers and/or a school/district administrator or representative. While we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13, the teacher portal portion of our site contains features for teachers (such as enrolling, assigning lessons, grading, and reporting on performance) designed for students. Teachers must obtain verifiable parent or guardian consent for the collection and use of personal information before allowing any students under the age of 13 to use EduTyping.com services. (See “COPPA and Parental Consent” below.)

Children’s Information – FERPA and COPPA Compliance

Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to create their own account on EduTyping.com without consent from a parent, legal guardian, or teacher. In fact, teachers with an EduTyping.com account, or school administrators with an EduTyping.com account, are the ones authorized and provisioned to “enroll” students in an EduTyping.com course.

Information such as IP address, the identity of their Internet Service Provider, browser type, operating system, the site that brought them to our site, and the pages visited while on our site will still be collected, via a session cookie for performance management, from children who use the site without creating an account.

This information is lost and unsaved upon exiting the site. If you are the parent, legal guardian, or teacher of someone under the age of 13 who may have created an account and provided us with information without your knowledge or consent, please contact us at [email protected] to have this information removed. If you know of anyone under the age of 13 who may have provided us with information, please report it to us at [email protected].

A parent, legal guardian, or teacher may provide consent and provision to “enroll” their child/student in an EduTyping.com student account. As noted above, our teacher portal is designed for teachers that may have students that are children, and we may collect information from children under 13 in connection with this portion of the site. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), see the following regarding the use of our site by children.

Children may use their EduTyping.com student account provided that their school has complied with its responsibilities under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA") and COPPA. If a teacher or school official has consented to our collection of information from children who are students in a manner consistent with COPPA, we will collect and use such personal information. This consent can be revoked, and the student’s information removed at any time. For parental and legal guardian rights, see specific section below. Contained within this privacy policy we provide each school with all the notices required under COPPA.

Please refer to the “Information We Collect” section for more information on the information we collect from children. EduTyping.com does not allow children to make this information publicly available.

COPPA and Parental Consent
