Artsonia collects the minimal amount of information from Children necessary to use our Service. This information is necessary to enable us to comply with legal obligations, for our legitimate interest in being able to provide and improve the Service, and for security and safety purposes.

Information within a School Account. Artsonia has created a Class Portal, which is a method for students to access, submit and manage artwork, photography, voice or video (collectively, "Artwork") and other information within a School classroom setting. Artsonia follows the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) COPPA rules for parental consent. Prior to a student submitting any information within a School setting by accessing Artsonia's Class Portal, the Teacher must certify that they received permission and either a) chose to act as an agent of the Parent and consented on Parents behalf under what is commonly referred to under COPPA as school consent or b) collected the appropriate parental consent. For more information on school consent, please see the FTC's COPPA FAQs. Once the Teacher has activated the Class Portal, then the following information may be collected from the student:

1. Student roster information. Teachers may either create a School roster of their students, as well as their Student's accounts, and/or may enable students to submit their first name, last name, grade and homeroom.
2. Parent's email address. Teachers may provide Parent email addresses in order to connect Parents to their Children's accounts. However, if a Teacher has not done so, students may enter their Parent's email address, which we use for parental consent and notice (as applicable). We do not use Parent emails to market our Service to the Parent unless the Parent separately creates an account on our Service.
3. Submissions of Artwork. Once a student accesses the Class Portal, they can upload Artwork, art titles, artist statements, and other information related to the School classroom (which may contain Personal Information). All Artwork and other information is then submitted to the Teacher for approval prior to posting within the Service.

It is important to note that no Artwork uploaded by a Student will be shown publicly until Artsonia has received parental consent from that student's Parent, regardless of whether or not school consent was utilized as the method of consent.

Information from Parent created account. Parents may create an account on Artsonia to access and manage their Child's online Artwork portfolio, including submitting Artwork, approving Comments, adding or editing Fan Club Members, managing communication preferences, and setting privacy settings for their Child. Parents may also permit account access for their Child. If a Parent allows Child access, the Child can photograph and upload their Artwork and an art title. All such information is then submitted to their Parent for approval prior to posting within the Service.

Children under 13 are restricted from accessing certain features on our Service that would allow the Child to post or disclose additional Personal Information. Currently:

• We DO NOT allow Children under 13 to become a Fan Club Member.
• We DO NOT allow Children under 13 to leave a Comment.
• We DO NOT allow Children under 13 to leave a Teacher Compliment on the Artsonia Service.

In addition to the information entered by the Child, we automatically collect some information from any use of our Service as set forth in the Information collected automatically subsection of our Privacy Policy.

We use this information to provide the Service to the Child, for educational, security and safety purposes, as required by law, or to enforce our Terms. We do not require Children to provide more Personal Information than is necessary to participate in the Service. If we discover that we have collected information from a Child in a manner inconsistent with the applicable laws, we will take the appropriate steps.

We do not disclose any Personal Information about Children to third parties, except to subprocessors necessary to provide the Service, as required by law, authorized School personnel as directed by the Child's School, or to protect the security of the Service or other users. Information collected from Students (including Personal Information and information collected automatically) is never used or disclosed for third-party advertising. Additionally, Personal Information collected from Students is never used for behaviorally-targeted advertising to Students (first or third party). Lastly, Children's Personal Information is never sold, "shared," or rented to anyone, including marketers or advertisers. For the purposes of this disclosure, "sold" does NOT include the sale of merchandise from the Artsonia Gift Shop.

Artsonia's collection of information from Children and Students is further subject to our Terms. Parents and Teachers should review carefully and understand the Terms before permitting Children to use the Artsonia Service.

Generally, Artsonia does not make Children's Personal Information visible to the public. Where a Child's Personal Information is visible, it is only with the express consent of that Child's parent, school, or both. For example:

Artwork Submissions. Regardless of the Personal Information designation on Artwork, School Artwork is NOT shown publicly unless the student's Parent has given parental consent to Artsonia (if school consent was utilized previously). Additionally, we ensure that any geolocation metadata that may be contained in the photos is removed prior to posting the files on the Artsonia Service.

• Artwork uploaded to a Class Portal. When a student uploads Artwork within the Class Portal, the student's Teacher must review it, along with the associated title and statement, designate whether it contains the student's Personal Information, and represent to us that they have reviewed and approved it. The designation of whether the Artwork contains Personal Information will decide whether the Artwork will remain private (accessible to only Parents and their verified Fan Club Members) or public (available on the Artsonia Service for all to view).
• Artwork uploaded to a Parent created account. When a Child uploads an Artwork within a Parent created account, the Parent must review it, along with any title and statement, to decide whether or not it contains Personal Information. If there is no Personal Information (or if the Parent removed or masked all Personal Information), then we require the Parent to represent to us that they have reviewed and approved their Child's Artwork. The Parent's designation of whether the Artwork contains Personal Information will decide whether the Artwork will remain private (accessible to only Parents and their verified Fan Club Members) or public (available on the Artsonia Service for all to view).

Comments. Students and Children over 13 may be able to post comments on other artwork. These comments may be posted publicly alongside artwork, but ONLY after the Child's comment has been proofread by the Parent of the artist receiving the Comment, who must affirmatively represent to us that there is no personal information within the Comment.

Child's Photo or Image. It is Artsonia's policy to protect the identity of the Children showcasing their Artwork on Artsonia. Artsonia does not authorize Childrens' images to be available to the public on the Artsonia Service. When a Child submits a photo or image of themselves to their account, this photo will be visible only to their Parents, Teachers, other students accessing the Class Portal from the same School, and Parent verified Fan Club Members.

Child's screenname. Children's Artwork and comments will be identified by their unique screenname (which often but not necessarily consists of the artist's first name and a numerical suffix). This unique screenname (and not the student's entire first and last name) is what is shown on the public-facing Service next to any uploaded Artwork (including any related title and statement associated with the Artwork) and comment. Artsonia does not knowingly post the full first name and last names of students on the Artsonia Service or Service next to student Artwork or comments.

We will not retain a Child's Personal Information for any longer than is necessary for educational purposes or legal obligations, or to provide the Service for which we receive or collect the Child's Personal Information. Additionally, we only keep a Child's Personal Information for as long as their Student account is active, unless we are required by law or the Child's School to retain it, need it to ensure the security of our community or our Service, or to enforce our Terms. Please note that deletion does not include Student Artwork submitted by the Student or Teacher or messaging between a Teacher and Parent (i.e., the electronic newsletters or Student activity reports) or Teacher and Student (i.e., Teacher feedback) as we may be required to retain these at the direction of the School (e.g., for legal compliance reasons such as maintenance of "education records" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or "Student records" under various state Student privacy laws). Please click here for more information on our data retention policies surrounding Children's Personal Information.

We believe parents should always be able to delete their Child's account (provided it is not part of the school's educational record), request for us to delete their Child's personal information, or obtain a copy of their Child's personal information by contacting us as described in the Contacting Artsonia section below.

Consent. We implement a rigorous process for obtaining appropriate consent. Parental consent is required before a Child's artwork, comments, or other content is made available on the public-facing Service. If a Child's artwork, comments, and other content is not on the public-facing Service, but is uploaded to the Class Portal privately and solely for educational purposes, your Child's teacher may act as your agent and provide consent on your behalf ("school consent"). For detailed information regarding providing parental consent, please click here.

Deletion. Additionally, at any time, parents can refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Information from their Children and, subject to the limitations explained below, can request that we delete the Personal Information we have collected from your Child. Please click here to learn how to request deletion of this content.

• Deleting content covered by School Consent. If you are the Parent of a Child who is using Artsonia and they are participating at the direction of their Teacher under school consent (you did not give consent directly to Artsonia, but the Teacher obtained your consent or acted as your agent and consented on your behalf), please contact the appropriate official at your Child's School to access, review, correct or delete any of your Child's Personal Information in the Service. If the School determines that the request should be implemented, the School may either make the change themselves or submit the request to Artsonia by contacting us as described in the Contacting Artsonia section below.
• Deleting content uploaded with Parental Consent. If you are the Parent of a Child who is using Artsonia and have also given parental consent directly to Artsonia, you may access, review, correct, or delete any of your Child's Personal Information in the Service by contacting us as described in the Contacting Artsonia section. However, please note that any content uploaded (e.g., Artwork) that is shared as part of a class at a School is retained at the direction of the School (e.g., for legal compliance reasons such as maintenance of "education records" under FERPA). To correct or delete this content, please contact the appropriate official at your Child's School. If the School determines that the request should be implemented, the School may either make the change themselves or submit the request to Artsonia by contacting us as described in the Contacting Artsonia section.

For either method described above, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner consistent with applicable law. We will need to verify your identity, for example by requiring that you provide acceptable forms of personal identification.
