- first and last names (we only store the first letter of a Users last name)

From you
When you first log in to our website using your email address, we will ask you to change your password. Your email address will be utilised to assist with password resets if you forget your password.

- details about your device (for example, your internet (IP) address, your location and the type of browser that you use, and its identity in the form of a “cookie”).
Teachers

Cookie Technology
We may use cookie technology on our website. A cookie is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive, mobile phone or other device. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not. However, some of our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. We use cookies that are necessary for the performance of our services and cookies that do not personally identify you, but may be used for analytics purposes, such as allowing us to see how many people use and access our website so that we can improve our services. We do not track you across third party websites to provide targeted advertising, and therefore our site does not respond to Do Not Track signals from your web browser.
How long we keep your personal information for and where we store it
We will keep your information while you are an active user of our services and, provided your school continues to hold a licence, we may keep it for up to 1 year to enable you to reactivate your account. We regularly review our information retention rules to make sure we are not keeping it for longer than we need to, but you can ask us to remove your information at any time (see below for more details).
In the event that you (or your school) choose not to re-subscribe for a Kids Get Money license, we will delete your account and anonymise or delete your learning data so that it can only be used in a non-identifying manner for analysis by your school or to improve our products.
Our company is established and headquartered in Australia. All data is stored in Amazon Web Services’ Sydney data centres.
We will always endeavour to keep your data safe whenever we move it and transfer and deal with your personal information carefully.
Some of our technology team may be located in other countries including India, these teams may be required to access live production data to provide technology services.
How we may use the information we collect
In most cases, we act as a “data processor” and use your information only as instructed by your school under a For School licence or educator under an individual For Home licence to provide our services to you. We may need to use, collect, store or otherwise process your information as explained below:
Students
For the purpose of providing services as required by our contract with your school (or under your individual licence):
We will use the information that we have collected about you to:
- maintain a record of your learning on our platform, for example copies of your completed assessments, so that these can be reviewed by your teachers and so that you have a record of your work;
- keep you updated about your e-learning on our services. For example, to remind you when you have not completed a lesson or to congratulate you on your results;
- help your studies by sharing your e-learning progress with your teachers and parents (for example, that you have completed lessons, your score on assessments or quizzes)
- maintain and improve our services. For example, we can use statistical information about how long all students spend on a lesson, or the number of your classmates who have completed a lesson, to make sure that the lesson or assessment is not too simple or difficult. Such information will only ever be used on a grouped basis so that you (or your classmate) will never be identified individually;
- use the information that our website collects about you to improve your experience while using our services – for example, to identify that it really is you; and
- identify you when you call us for help on technical problems (for example if you report a problem with our website or the content) or to email you a new password when you have asked for one.
Teachers
For the management and administration of our contract:
We will use the information that we have collected about you to provide our services, and to carry out administrative tasks such as managing our relationship with your school and for billing and invoicing purposes, as may be necessary in order to perform our contract with your school.
For marketing purposes and our legitimate business interests:
We may also use the information to communicate with you where we have a legitimate interest to do so – for example, sending you information about new learning resources and products that are being made available. You can opt out of receiving such communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link or following the instructions in the email.
Parents
For the purpose of providing services as required by our contract with your child’s school (or under your individual licence):
We may use your contact information to keep you updated about your child’s performance on our services, where this option has been exercised either by you or the relevant school.
For the purpose of entering into a contract and for marketing purposes:
We will also use your information for payment purposes and we may contact you with information about upcoming new e-learning opportunities that may be of interest – you can opt out of receiving such communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link or following the instructions in the email.
Whether we will give your information to anyone else:
In the provision of our services we use cloud based secure authentication software as a service - Auth0 by OKTA and learning management system software as a service - EdApp.com by Safety Culture. Users personal information including First Name, Last Name and email address are shared securely with these services. Users data is stored in the Australian region by these services for the purposes of providing access to the services.
We may also need to use your information to protect ourselves from criminals or fraudsters and in some circumstances, we may also need to share or use your information to make sure that we follow the law.
We may also use or transfer your information to a successor entity in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a merger, reorganisation, spin-off, dissolution or liquidation) and we will endeavour to ensure that the successor entity applies this policy to such information.
We will keep your personal information safe and will not give it to any third party except as explained in this policy or where we are allowed to do so by law.
Other than as described above, we have not disclosed personal information for a business purpose to other third parties. We do not sell personal information.
Your rights and responsibilities
While we do our best to keep your personal information safe and private by following high standards, no security and safety system is 100% secure. You have to play your part in ensuring that your username and password are kept safe, and tell us when your account has been accessed without permission.
You may have the right to ask us to:
- give you a copy of your personal information that we have collected
- update or correct any personal information about you that is wrong
- stop collecting your personal information
- remove your personal information from our records

Rights and responsibilities for parents of children under the age of 13
This section of the policy only applies to children under the age of 13.
We do not permit children under the age of 13 to create an account or provide us personal information without your or the school’s verifiable consent. Such consent may be provided, for example, through teachers providing a school email address to permit a student to set up an account. If you believe we have collected information from a child under age 13 without such consent from you or the school, please contact us at support@kidsget.money so that we can delete the information as soon as possible.
We will not require a child under the age of 13 to provide us with more information than is reasonably necessary to use our site and services.
