We want to be completely open and straightforward with parents and guardians about how Principia handles information from children under 13. This notice is written in plain language so you can make an informed decision about whether to allow your child to use our app.
When a child under 13 uses Principia, the only information we collect about the child is their learning progress within the app. This includes:
That is the full extent of what we collect from your child. We do not collect their name, photo, home address, phone number, school name, location data, or any other identifying information from the child directly.
We also collect your email address (as the parent or guardian) for the sole purpose of obtaining and recording your consent, and to contact you if there are important issues with your child's account.
We use your child's learning progress data for one purpose and one purpose only: to make the app work as an educational tool for your child. Specifically, this means:
We do not use your child's data for any other purpose. We do not analyze children's data for commercial insights, we do not profile children, and we do not use children's data to improve anything other than their direct in-app experience.
We will never sell your child's information to anyone. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, marketing companies, or analytics firms. Principia contains no advertising of any kind — not banner ads, not video ads, not sponsored content, and nothing that monetizes your child's information.
The only outside companies that ever receive any data related to your child's account are:
As the parent or guardian of a child under 13, you have the following rights, which you can exercise at any time simply by emailing us:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@getprincipia.com from the email address you used when you provided parental consent. Please include your child's account information so we can locate the correct account promptly.
We will respond to all parental requests within 5 business days and will complete data deletions within 30 days.
Before a child under 13 can create an account in Principia, we require a parent or guardian to complete the following steps within the app:
By completing both steps, you are providing verifiable parental consent as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We record the date and time of your consent.
If at any time you believe a child under 13 has created an account without proper parental consent, please contact us immediately at support@getprincipia.com and we will promptly investigate and delete the account if appropriate.
