CHILDREN
Sisanda Tech collects information from children only with the consent of their parents and collects the information from the parents on behalf of their children in order to create their child’s user account.
Allowing a child to have their own user account enables the child to have access to features such as being able to store and retrieve their progress on tasks as well to keep a record of the rewards and badges that they earn as they complete challenges and tasks.
Furthermore, a user account also allows the child and parent to access a more personalised learning experience on our website and applications as they will be able to tailor their experience according to their preferences and such preferences can be saved and updated by the user on their unique profile or account.
Sisanda Tech does not solicit information or market to children under the age of 13 years. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, the parent or guardian should contact us via email or telephone to inform us and we will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM CHILDREN?
If a user has indicated that they are a child when trying to register to use our website or our applications, we will collect the parent’s email address and obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing the child to provide any additional information which is personal in nature.
Once we have obtained parental consent, a child will then be able to use our services as any other user and we may collect the same information from them as described in this privacy policy.
SECURITY
Your security is a priority to us, and we implement technical, organizational, administrative and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and improper use. One of the ways in which we do this is to limit access to your information to authorized employees who need to know that information in order to operate, develop and/ or improve our website and applications. However, please understand that despite our best efforts to protect the information that we process and maintain, no security system is perfect or completely impenetrable.
CHANGES
The terms of this privacy policy may be changed and updated from time to time for any reason. When this occurs, you will be notified of the changes to this privacy policy via email or text message and we will also post the changes and upload the updated policy onto our website. For this reason, we advise you to check this privacy policy regularly for any changes as continued use will be deemed to be your approval of all changes.
CONSENT
By using the Sisanda Tech website, software applications and services, you are consenting to our obtaining and processing your information as set out in this privacy policy. You further consent that the laws of South Africa will govern any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the use of our website and applications.
