International Children's Privacy for Minor Users

We require the consent of a legal parent/guardian/organization as the legal basis of collecting, processing and using personally identifiable information from anyone, in the United States of America, under the age of 18; and, in all international jurisdictions outside the United States of America, from anyone under the legal age of consent. A legal parent/guardian/organization provides consent by actions such as submitting an application for Tutoring services, submitting payment for Tutoring services, or otherwise contacting Us and providing any such information by themselves or through a representative.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 without consent from the respective legal parent/guardian/organization. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of legal parent/guardian/organization consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers. If You are a legal parent/guardian/organization, and become aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data You wish to be removed from Our servers, please contact Us here: info@apartmentofeducation.com.
