You do not need to register to download and use the littleye Browser Plug-In, but you will need to register and provide Registration Information if you want to access or use Services.  To register, littleye asks for information, including your name, address, telephone number, e-mail, and credit card account information. Because littleye is a service that is intended to be used by children under the age of 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that littleye verify a person is over 13 years old.  COPPA allows us to verify age by obtaining a valid credit card.  littleye will not use this card information for any other purpose and no charge will be placed on your card in connection with registration.  If you elect to purchase any books or service from Littleye, you will have the option of using other credit cards or Paypal.  When registering, littleye may also ask you for additional information, such as your gender, age, hobbies, or those of the Child Members, or littleye might request information on the Child Member's interest in science, animals, nature, travel, sports, books, and the like. The information you supply will help littleye offer you more personalized features, to tailor the Services to your interests and those of the Child Member, and to make it more useful to you and more enriching for the Child Member.  This information is not shared with third parties except in an anonymous, aggregated form.

Member Profile

Note: Personal Data that you provide on your Member Profile, or those you create for your Child Members, can be viewed by other Members and therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy in any information you elect to disclose in Member Profiles!  You can access your Member Profiles from the menu in your littleye Browser Plug-In in order to view, correct, complete or remove information. You do not need to create a Member Profile to use the Services.  Child Members are not able to create or edit Member Profiles.

E-Mail Addresses of Friends

10. Kids' Privacy Policy

PLEASE READ: This section of the Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use information online for children under the age of 13.  Littleye asks that you take the time to review our policy so that you can know exactly what information littleye collects (and doesn't) from children under 13.  If you ever have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact us. 

a. What Information does Littleye collect from Children under 13?

littleye is firmly committed to protecting the privacy rights of children and specifically those rights as outlined by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).  Accordingly, littleye will not collect, use or save data from children under the age of 13 without the express consent of the child's parent(s) or legal guardian(s).  Child Members can use the Browser Plug-In, explore the Library, view Content, and participate in activities without submitting any Personal Data.  littleye will not ask a Child Member for any personally identifiable information, such as his or her name, e-mail address, phone number, etc.  When Littleye does collect information from Child Members using the Service,  littleye generally limits its collection to information that does not personally identify the Child Member.  littleye never collects more information from Child Members than is reasonably necessary in order to participate in the activity. Assessment Data is collected when a Child Member is accessing or viewing content.  There may be some other activities that require Child Members to submit individually identifiable information in order to participate, such as promotions, sweepstakes or contests, or other activities such as newsletters or sending online postcards or e-mail messages.  littleye will notify you, via the e-mail address associated with your Account, and will identify your child to you by using his or her Screen Name that your child wishes to participate.  littleye will only collect your child's name, mailing address, and other personally identifiable information from you, the parent, and not from your child. The information will not be used for any purpose and the information will not be used after the promotion or activity is complete.  Co-sponsors and/or sweepstakes', contests' or activity administrators may have access to the personally identifiable information that is submitted. If you do not wish for us to share this personally identifiable information with sweepstakes, contest or activity co-sponsors or administrators, please do not enter your child in any contests or sweepstakes on Littleye.  littleye won't knowingly allow anyone under the age of 13 to register as a Member or otherwise submit more individually identifiable information than littleye describes above, except with verifiable parental/legal guardian consent. If Littleye becomes aware that Littleye has inadvertently received individually identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, except as discussed above, Littleye will delete the information from our records as soon as littleye discovers it.  Also, Littleye may from time to time offer free trial memberships to the Service. However, littleye will require a valid credit card number for registration to ensure that no user under the age of 13 registers for a free trial.  littleye also offers memberships to certain licensed pre-schools and other educational institutions, who in turn make the Service available to children under the age of 13. No individually identifiable information is collected from children who access the littleye Service via these school Accounts.

b. How does Littleye use Personal Data of Child Members?

Littleye always collects Personal Data only from you, as the parent or legal guardian, and never knowingly from a Child Member.  Littleye will only use that information for the express purpose for which it was collected and will only disclose that Personal Data as set forth below.  Except as set forth below, littleye does not share Personal Data of Child Members with any third parties (except those parties that help us administer the Services) without a parent's express consent. These third parties may not use the information for any other purpose, and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information.  Littleye may disclose Personal Data of a Child Member if Littleye believes in good faith that littleye is required by law to do so, or that doing so is necessary to comply with legal process, law enforcement agencies, respond to claims, or protect our rights in or the safety of the Services, or to protect the safety or rights of other Members or Child Members.  Littleye may share Child Member Personal Data with its affiliates.  Littleye may use non-personally identifiable aggregated data and make it available to third parties.  This aggregated data is used by littleye or its partners to track traffic use, to gauge interest in certain features, to improve the Service or for other business or marketing purposes.  Personal Data of Child Members that is collected may be stored and processed in any country in which Littleye and its affiliates and contractors maintain facilities. In this regard, or for purposes of sharing or disclosing data in accordance with article 4 of the Privacy Policy, littleye reserves the right to transfer and store Personal Data of Child Members outside of their country of residence.  By opening a Child Account, you consent to any such transfer and storage of Personal Data outside of the Child's country of residence.  As littleye continues to develop its business, littleye might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, as well as in the event Littleye or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, Personal Data of Child Members will generally be one of the transferred business assets.  littleye reserves the right to include such Personal Data, collected as an asset, in any such transfer to a third party. Additionally, information about Child Members may be disclosed as part of a bankruptcy.

c. Tracking and Content Recommendations

If you are setting up one or more Child Accounts, you are encouraged to set up an unidentifiable, anonymous screen name for each Child Member. littleye may give you the ability to track the Child Member's use of the Service (which may include allowing you to see what Content the Child Member is viewing, reading, and learning and, where applicable, performance metrics), as well as receive content and other recommendations based upon the Child Member's use and progress. littleye may also make content recommendations based upon previous usage of the Services, as well as your child's appropriate grade range.
