Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in our Terms of Use. Certain services featured on our Website may require submission of your Personal Information. Any such Personal Information will be collected solely with your prior consent. Where a ‘Student Account’ is created on behalf of a student who is under the age of 13 (“Child” or “Children”, respectively), the Child’s parent or legal guardian will be required to consent to the collection of the Child’s Personal Information in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). You are encouraged to maintain a record of the Child’s username and password; supervise and keep track of the Child’s activity in the account; and contact any teacher linked to your Child’s account with any specific questions regarding the Child’s progress and the use of the information by such teacher.
If you, as a parent or legal guardian, become aware that a Child under your care or supervision has provided us information without your consent, or provided us with information that you would like to have removed or updated, please contact us at support@bigread.ai.

In order to enjoy the benefits of our Website, you will be required to open a user account (either a ‘Student Account’, ‘Parent Account’ or ‘Teacher Account’), and provide certain Personal Information, such as your name, a user name and password and an optional e-mail address. A Student Account can be created by the student, the student’s parent or legal guardian or the student’s teacher.
When creating a username for your account, please do not use personally identifiable information such as the user’s name, phone number, date of birth or email address, but rather use pseudonyms or other combinations of letters and numbers that do not identify you.
When associating a Student Account with a Teacher Account, we will collect the user’s first and last name to help teachers identify their students. The collection of the student’s e-mail address is optional. When a Student Account is for a Child and associated with a Teacher Account, we will not collect the full first name of the Child but only the first initial of the first name and the last name and an optional field of the parent’s e-mail address.
