Children
This section explains our information collection, disclosure, parental consent practices, and parental choice procedures with respect to information provided by children under the age of 18 (“Child” or “Children”). This policy is in accordance with the Jamaican Child Care and Protection Act. For more information about Child Care and Protection Act and general tips about protecting Children’s rights, please visit https://moj.gov.jm/laws/child-care-and-protection-act.
Collection: REACH collects information about students directly from Parents, who provide us with the Child’s first name, age, type of schooling, local time zone, and additional notes for the Teacher. In addition, Children may share information about themselves during Classes. The REACH class sessions take place over online videos in which video images and audio of the Children are recorded. No information is collected directly from Children until they are in the course session. Children cannot post personal data publicly on REACH Educational Services’ website.
Use and Disclosure: REACH shares the name, age, local time zone, and any notes Parents have provided about their Child to the Class Teacher, in order to allow the Teacher to provide Classes. This information shall also be treated as part of the Parent’s Personal Data and may be shared as described in the Disclosure section above for business transfers; to vendors and service providers; and to comply with legal requirements. Children may also share information about themselves with the Teacher and the rest of their class during the Class session voluntarily. While REACH expects Teachers and all other Users to abide by our standards of conduct, please note that we cannot control or monitor what personal information your Child shares with Teachers or other classmates, nor what those third parties ultimately do with that information, and we disclaim all responsibility in that regard.
Class Video Recordings: As described above, REACH records videos of students and teachers during classes (Class Recordings). The Class Recordings are made available by REACH to the Teacher of the Class and may be shared by the Teacher for the entire class (and their Parents) to view (the Permitted Recipients). REACH may also use Class Recordings to provide feedback to Teachers, for customer support, and for compliance purposes. REACH will obtain additional parental consent before we use any Class Recordings for promotional or other purposes. We utilize reasonable means to (i) limit the ability of Teachers to create copies of the Class Recordings or to share the Class Recordings with anyone aside from Permitted Recipients, and also (ii) limit the ability of Permitted Recipients to download or re-share the Class Recordings. While we expect Teachers and Permitted Recipients to abide by our standards of conduct, please note that we cannot control or monitor what such third parties ultimately do with Class Recordings, and disclaim all responsibility in that regard.
Parental Consent: REACH obtains verifiable parental consent before collecting Personal Data from your Child. REACH requires that you provide your credit or debit card information in order to register your Child for and pay for a REACH Class. If you do not consent, then we will not collect, use or disclose any personal information about your Child, and your Child will not be allowed to use the Services in any way. If you are not using our services for any other purposes and do not provide consent within a reasonable time from the date the direct notice was sent, we will also delete your online contact information from our records.
Parental Choices and Controls: At any time, you can refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Data from your Children in association with your account, and can request that we delete from our records the Personal Data we have collected in connection with that account. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to the termination of an account, membership, or other service. You may update your Child’s information by logging onto your account. You can contact REACH to request access to, change, or delete your Child’s personal information by sending an email to us at reacheduservice@gmail.com. A valid request to delete personal information will be accommodated within a reasonable time. In addition to the foregoing, we will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to delete personal information belonging to Children when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be fully secure and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. We do not accept liability for disclosures beyond our reasonable control. You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your account credentials. For instance, never give out your password, and safeguard your user name, password and personal credentials when you are using the Services, so that other people will not have access to your Personal Data. Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any personal computing device on which you utilize the Services.
