Exhibit A

Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13

Last modified: February 20, 2025

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this policy, “parents”) about our practice for collecting, using and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

This policy notifies parents of:

  • The types of information that we may collect from children.
  • How we use the information we collect.
  • Our practices for disclosing that information.
  • Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.
  • All operators that collect or maintain information from children through the Service.

This policy only applies to children under the age of 13 and supplements our general Privacy Policy. Only our general privacy policy applies to teens and adults.

Terms that are defined in the general privacy policy have the same meanings as used in this Privacy Policy for Children Under the Age of 13.

Information That We Collect From Children

Children can access many parts of the Service and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information. However, some content and features are available only for registered users or require us to collect certain information including personal information from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Service.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Information We Collect Directly

A child must provide us with the following information to register with the Service: the child’s name, school email address or parent’s email address, and student ID number. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.

Automatic Information Collection & Tracking

We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the Service and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include: 

  • Device information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
  • Usage data, including the pages you visit, actions you take, and the date and time of your interactions with the Service.

We [also] may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with personal information about you or your child that we collect online.

For information about our automatic information collection practices, including how you can opt out of certain information collection, see the “Automatic Information Collection [and Tracking]” and “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information” sections of our general privacy policy.

How We Use Your Child’s Information

We use the personal information we collect from your child to: 

  • Register them with the Service; and
  • Track their performance in games or other activities.

We use the information we collect automatically through technology and other non-personal information we collect to improve our Service  and to deliver a better and more personalized experience by enabling us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
  • Store information about the child’s preferences, allowing us to customize the content according to individual interests.
  • Speed up your child’s searches.

Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information

We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children’s personal information other than as described in this section.

In addition, we may disclose children’s personal information:

  • To third parties we use to support the internal operations of our Service and who are bound by contractual or other obligations to use the information only for such purpose and to keep the information confidential.
  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process, such as to comply with any court order or subpoena or to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of myOwlTM , our customers or others, including to:
    • Protect the safety of a child;
    • Protect the safety and security of the Service; or
    • Enable us to take precautions against liability.
  • To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

If myOwlTM is involved in a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of myOwlTM‘s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding or event, we may transfer the personal information we have collected or maintain to the buyer or other successor.

Accessing and Correcting Your Child’s Personal Information

At any time, you may review the child’s personal information maintained by us and require us to correct it. You may also choose to delete the child’s personal information, and terminate their use of the Service.

You can review, change, or delete your child’s personal information by:

  • Logging into your child’s account and visiting the account profile page.
  • Sending us an email at [email protected]. To protect your privacy and security, we may require you to take certain steps or provide additional information to verify your identity before we provide any information or make corrections.
