Effective Date: February 27, 2026 At Woz ED (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of children. This Child Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding information from children under the age of 13, demonstrating our compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Our Services, including our website (wozed.com) and educational resources, are designed for and directed at adult educators and facilitators, not children.
1. No Collection of Personal Information from Children
-
Zero-Student-Data: Woz ED does not knowingly collect, store, or share any personal information from children under the age of 13.
-
Definition: Personal information includes, but is not limited to, names, addresses, email addresses, or any other identifiers.
-
Adult-Facing: Our role is to provide teaching resources and training directly to adult educators and facilitators.
2. Use of Anonymized Usage Data We use the WP Statistics plugin to analyze general website traffic with privacy as a priority:
-
Anonymization: All IP addresses are immediately anonymized upon collection.
-
No Tracking: We do not set persistent tracking cookies for analytics purposes.
-
Local Storage: All data is stored locally on our secure server and is never transmitted to third parties for analysis.
3. Parental Consent and Educational Privacy Laws (COPPA & FERPA)
-
COPPA Compliance: Because we do not collect personal information from children, we do not require parental consent under COPPA.
-
FERPA Compliance: While Woz ED provides curriculum materials, we do not maintain student education records. The responsibility for FERPA compliance regarding student data rests with the educational institutions using our resources.
4. Third-Party Curriculum Tools and Accountability Our curriculum may suggest or link to third-party platforms (e.g., Merge EDU).
-
Vetting and Accountability: Woz ED only partners with third-party curriculum providers who demonstrate a verified commitment to student privacy (COPPA/FERPA compliance).
-
Standard Requirements: We require all third-party sub-processors and integrated curriculum partners to adhere to data protection standards at least as restrictive as our own.
-
Independent Management: While these third parties manage student data independently, Woz ED does not receive, access, or maintain any student data managed by these independent providers.
5. Security of Information We employ industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect all information on our platform. While no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we use encryption and secure server configurations to maintain a safe environment.
6. Changes to This Policy We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or for regulatory reasons. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new policy with a new “Effective Date”.
