Before we can provide your child with access to Muslimeto Portal or to other features and activities on our website, we need your consent. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), parental consent is required for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children under the age of 13. Muslimeto will not collect, use, or disclose any personal information from your child unless you provide your consent.

To help you understand how we collect, use, and disclose your child’s personal information, we have prepared this COPPA Direct Notice to Parents (“Direct Notice”). We also encourage you to review our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, available here, for more information. Terms capitalized in this Direct Notice are defined in our general Privacy Policy.

Subject to your consent, in order to allow your child to use Muslimeto’s Site and Services, we would like to collect, use and disclose your child’s Personal Information as set forth below.

Information We Collect:

We collect information from your child in the following ways:

Information collected when creating your child’s account. If you enroll for our Service, we will provide you with access to the Muslimeto Portal. We will populate your family’s account with the information supplied during registration, for example, your child’s name, grade, and age, and ask you to set a password for that account that can be shared with your family. Later your child may choose to add information such as a username, profile photo, biographical information, location, projects s/he is working on, and videos about these projects. We advise students to choose a username that does not reveal their real name or any other information that could identify them. Other Muslimeto students will be able to see your child’s name, chosen avatar or profile photo, general location, and any other content they choose to make public.

Information collected if your child contacts us. If your child contacts us by email; through our branded social media accounts; through any integrated chat providers we may offer, or by telephone, SMS, or physical mail, we may collect your child’s name, username, email address, phone number, physical address, and the contents of your communication which can include any information your child chooses to provide. We will only use that information for the purpose of providing the service or support requested.

Information collected when registering for a competition or other activity (such as our online Hackathon). We require that children interested in participating in competitions such as our online Hackathon and other activities have a parent or legal guardian register them. Once we have obtained your consent to collect information from your child, we may ask your child to provide us with his or her name, age, grade level, past programming experience, and any other information relevant to the competition or activity that is being registered for.

Information collected through user-generated content. We collect any information that your child provides to us when he or she creates or publishes projects, records videos, writes comments, or posts on forums accessible to other Muslimeto students and instructors.
Information is collected through your child’s participation in classes and other virtual events. To enable our virtual classes and other live events such as Muslimeto Clubs meetings, we use third-party services, such as Zoom, to stream video and audio feed of interactions between students and instructors as well as the contents of any communications enabled by integrated chat functions. Certain information is captured incidentally through your child’s participation in such events, including your child’s image, voice, movements, physical environment, and any other information provided during the event. Ordinarily, neither we nor Zoom, retain this information. However, from time to time, we may record special events and make those recordings accessible to other users of the Muslimeto Learning Service. If we do so, we will indicate that the event will be recorded.

Log Data. Like many websites, Muslimeto Portal’s Site collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This may include information about the devices your child uses to access our Service (including your child’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, and operating system); the address of the web page visited before and after using our Service; details about your child’s interactions with our Service (such as the date, time, length of stay, and specific pages accessed during his or her visits); search terms used to reach our Service; and usage information (such as the number and frequency of visitors to our Service). We use this information to help us design and administer our website, improve our Service, and gather broad demographic information that helps us identify visitor preferences.

Student Activity Data. We also collect certain information about students’ activity on the Muslimeto Portal. For instance, we collect information about when a student is working on a project or whether a student has completed a particular video in order to help our instructors monitor how a student is progressing throughout the week and to help Muslimeto improve its Service.

Cookies and similar technologies. We collect some of the information above using cookies and similar technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Muslimeto uses cookies and user session data to remember whether your child is logged in, to ensure that the site functions properly, to determine how many users have visited certain pages, and prevent fraud. You can disable cookies, limit the types of cookies you allow, or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please refer to the guidance offered by your chosen web browser if you’d like help managing your cookie preferences.

Muslimeto does not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in Muslimeto Learning’s Service.

When Your Child’s Information is Available to Others
We may share information about your child with certain third parties in the following circumstances:

Companies under common control. We may share Personal Information between and among any current or future parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and other companies under common control and ownership with Muslimeto Learning.
Vendors and service providers. We may share Personal Information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need to access the data in order to perform services on our behalf, such as providing cloud-hosting or cloud-storage services.
Business transfers. We may share information with another company in connection with or during negotiations of any merger, acquisition, financing, re-organization, bankruptcy, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or transition of services to another provider.
Legal requirements. We may share Personal Information when we believe it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, including lawful requests from public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Public forums and publicly available content. We offer several features that allow our students to connect and share content in public or semi-public spaces. Students do not have to use these features, but if they do, they should be sure to use good judgment. Certain information in students’ profiles such as their username and photo or avatar, the projects they choose to share, and any other information they disclose in the public or semi-public areas of Muslimeto’s Service, may be read, collected, stored, or used by others.
We may also share aggregate or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify your child, for various purposes including compliance with various reporting obligations; for business or marketing purposes; or to assist third parties in understanding our users’ interests, habits, and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality available through the Service.
