Information We Collect from Children
Children may access many parts of the Children’s Site and its content and use many of its features without providing us with personal information.. A child may provide us with their age range in order to participate in activities that are age appropriate. Additionally, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from parents and children when they visit the Children’s Site.
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. We do not ask for or collect any personal information from children related to student education records, biometric or health data. If any personal information of a child is collected, we will first obtain parental consent.

How We Use Your Child's Information
We use the information we collect from your child to:
- Customize the content displayed according to age ranges when a child uses our educational services so that their experience is appropriate for their skill level;
- Analyze use of the Children’s Site to understand, develop and improve our services, such as determining which pages are most popular, which browsers are most used, how long users spend on the Children’s Site, and from which websites they come;

How We Share Your Child's Information
We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer children's personal information other than as described in this section. We may disclose aggregated information about many of our users, and information that does not identify any individual or device. In addition, we may disclose children's personal information:
- To service providers we use to support the internal operations of our Children’s Site 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.

- To law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.
In addition, if Panda is involved in a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Panda'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.
We encourage parents to educate their children about safety online and to carefully monitor their children's use of social features to ensure they do not disclose their personal information through them.
Information Regarding Parental Consent, Access, and Deletion
As Panda does not collect personal information, we are not able to identify your child and therefore are not able to fulfill modification, access, correction, deletion, or portability requests
If Panda ever does in the future collect, use or disclose personal information from your child, we will endeavor to obtain a parent’s consent before doing so or otherwise comply with the law. We will not keep personal information for longer than necessary. Parents may also contact us to ask if we have collected their child's personal account information, to review that information, if any, and request that Panda stop collecting this information and have it deleted. Such requests are subject to Panda verifying to our satisfaction that the requester is in fact the child's parent.

Non-material changes will be effective immediately upon posting, however we will always note the effective date of such changes at the top of this Children’s Privacy Policy.
