If a user is entitled to any disclosure rights in their jurisdiction regarding our sale of their personal information to non-affiliated third parties or our disclosure of their personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, this disclosure satisfies those requirements. If a user still wishes to learn more about our compliance with this requirement, they can contact us at the email address found in How to get in touch with us.

Pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents have the right to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, including the names and addresses of those third parties, and examples of the types of services or products marketed by those third parties.

Right to Request Deletion

Users have the right to request that we delete Personal Information we collected from them. Users may have the right to request that we delete their personal information, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt and validation of a verifiable customer request, we will delete such Personal Information from our records, unless an exception under the CCPA applies. Users should be aware that, once deleted, their data, including their account and activities, cannot be restored. 

Right not to be discriminated against

We will not discriminate or retaliate against a user for exercising any of their rights under the CCPA. 

Verifying Your Request

For users’ safety and the safety of their information, we cannot fulfill a request to provide or delete personal information if we cannot verify a user’s identity or authority to make the request. We need to confirm the personal information relates to the requesting user or the individual for whom someone is a lawful agent. 

To verify a user’s identity, we will ask that they provide the following information when submitting their request:

    First Name

    Last Name

    Email Address

However, in certain circumstances, we may require additional time to process the request, as permitted by the CCPA or other applicable law. We will advise users within forty-five (45) days after receiving their request if such an extension is necessary and why it is needed. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verifiable consumer request.

Submitting a request does not require users to create an account with us. We do not charge users a fee to process or respond to verifiable consumer requests unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell the user why we made that decision and provide them with a cost estimate before completing their request.

In some instances, we may not be able to honor a request. For example, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify a user’s identity, if we cannot verify that a user has the authority to make a request on behalf of another individual or if an exception applies. We will advise the user in our response if we are not able to honor their request.

Authorized Agents

Users may have the option to designate an authorized agent to submit a request on their behalf, so long as the authorized agent has the user’s written and signed permission to do so, the user has taken steps to verify their identity directly with us, and the user has directly confirmed with us that they provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on the user’s behalf. If a user would like to designate an agent, their agent must register as such with the California Secretary of State and submit a copy of this registration along with the user’s consumer request to us.  If someone submits a request on behalf of another person, we may require proof of authorization and verification of identity directly from the person for whom they are submitting a request.

The updated version can be found at https://kidsloop.net/global/securitymeasures 

Organizational Measures

The Kidsloop management team has been actively involved in developing an information security culture within the Group and has a management structure in place to manage the implementation of information security in its services with clear roles and responsibilities within the organization.

Operations Management

Multiple industry best-practice processes and policies exist to ensure the best possible confidentiality, availability and integrity of the platform. These policies are built around strict requirements in a number of areas, such as;

  • Information security

  • Hosting environment security

  • Third party access

  • Capacity control

  • Change management

  • Backup and recovery

  • Access control

  • Documentation

  • Logging and monitoring

  • Coordinating third-party security audits, and follow up on any findings

  • Reviewing code for potential security vulnerabilities.

 Roles and responsibilities

All employees have clear roles within the Group and are only given access to data required for their specific role. A limited number of employees have administrative access to our production environment and their rights are strongly regulated and reviewed at set intervals. Any major change to the application, environment or hardware of the production environment is always verified by a minimum of two individuals.

Personnel security

All Kidsloop employees are required to enter into a strict confidentiality agreement. All staff are required to follow corporate policies regarding confidentiality, business ethics and professional standards. Staff involved in securing, handling and processing customer data are required to complete training appropriate for their role.

Access Control

Strict requirements are in place for any employee, hired consultants or third party requesting access to Kidsloop information systems. Access control is controlled by an authentication system. The user is required to:

  • Have management approval for the requested access

  • Have strong passwords that are in accordance with the corporate password policy

  • Change their password at regular intervals

  • Document that the access requested is required for their specific role/task

  • Ensure that the device (PC, tablet, cellphone) used is adequately secured, and locked when the user is absent.

Kidsloop employs automatic temporary lock-out of the user terminal if left idle.

Internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorized persons and/or systems from gaining access to systems used to process Personal Data. Any changes to data are logged to create an audit trail for accountability.

Physical security

Data Centres

Kidsloop operates all its customer services from data centres separated from the corporate office work space. Access to data centres is strictly controlled and protected to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access, fire, flooding or other damage to the physical environment. Physical access to data centres is limited to a small number of employees within Kidsloop and/or its hosting centre providers. Strict security clearances are required and must be approved by security management prior to entering a data centre.

Technical measures – System availability

Kidsloop has implemented industry standard measures to ensure that Personal Data are protected from accidental destruction or loss, including:

  • infrastructure redundancy (including full network, power, cooling, database, server and storage redundancy)

  • backup is stored at an alternative site and available for restore in case of failure of the primary system.

  • appropriate denial-of-service protection

  • 365/24/7 personnel on duty to monitor and troubleshoot

Data protection

Kidsloop has implemented a series of industry standard measures to prevent the Personal Data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during transport or at rest. This is accomplished by various industry standard measures including:

  • Use of layered firewalls, VPNs and encryption technologies to protect gateways and pipelines

  • HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS connection) with secure cryptographic keys

  • Remote access to data centres is protected with a number of layers of network security

  • Particular sensitive customer data at rest is protected by encryption and/or hashing (pseudonymisation)

  • Every decommissioned disk is subject to a disk erasure process according to our “Disk erase policy”, and decommissioning is logged by disk serial number

  • Regular third-party security audits (minimum annually), including penetration testing, that are made available to partners

Data centres

Kidsloop uses only state-of-the-art data centres, with 365/24/7 on-site security and monitoring operations. The data centres are housed in modern fire-resistant facilities that require electronic keycard access, with alarms that are linked to the on-site security operation. Only authorized employees and contractors are permitted to request electronic keycard access to these facilities.

System development

Kidsloop’s Platform(s) is based on industry standard technologies from well-known vendors, including Microsoft, Linux, Dell, Fujitsu, Amazon, Cloudflare, F5 and Cisco. Systems are periodically patched to the latest version to ensure that the latest security enhancements are applied. The platform is in general updated several times per quarter, and bug fixes are released swiftly based on priority, following rigorous quality checks.

Kidsloop has measures in place to minimize the risk of introducing code in its platform that can degrade the security or integrity of the customer services and Personal Data processed. Measures include:

  • Regular training of staff

  • Code review by security architects

  • QA process for rigorous testing of changes prior to deployment

Sub-processor security

When onboarding sub-processors, Kidsloop performs an audit of the security and privacy practices of sub-processors to ensure sub-processors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Kidsloop performs regular security audits of the practices and delivery for existing sub-processors.

DATA PROCESSOR AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE BETWEEN:

  1. Partner(s) or Licensee(s) or Sub-Licensee(s) acting as a data controller (the Data Controller)

  2. Kidsloop entity or Licensor, acting as a data processor (the Data Processor)

DEFINITIONS

In this Agreement the Data Controller and the Data Processor are individually referred to as Party and collectively as the Parties.

Applicable Data Protection Regulations means legislation in respect of Personal Data protection applicable in the jurisdiction of operation of the Data Controller in connection with the performance of the Partnership Agreement detailed in section below;     

Derivative Data – falls into two types: (A) aggregated, anonymised data which is delinked from User Personal Data and is not used to personalise the User learning experience; or (B) information extracted from raw or aggregated data (which may be analysed with data from external sources) which is used to personalise the User learning experience and cannot be anonymised.  

Derivative Data collected on the Licensor, Licensee or any Sub Licensee Platform(s) (together the Platform(s)) to create intelligence to improve the services delivered by the Licensor to its clients has three use cases:

  1. Data services: aggregated data derived from user interaction in live classes, customer management systems, learning management data system on the Platform(s) used to provide reports to Licensee(s) and/or Sub Licensee (s);

  2. User services: raw data derived from individual interaction on the Platform(s) used to provide personalised reports to an end User;

  3. Aggregation Data services: aggregated data derived from Use case 1 or 2 (which is not aimed at personalising the User learning experience) to provide reports to third parties such as publishers seeking information to improve content portfolios. 

The table below summarises the type of Derivative Data that is being collected in each use case.

The Licensor holds full right, title and interest in and to any Type A Derivative Data including without limitation any predictive data derived from modelling. The Licensor may only use Type B Derivative Data whilst the User holds a distribution account on the Platform(s) and/or the licence agreement between the Licensor and the Licensee and/or Sub-Licensee is in force. 

Partnership Agreement means the partnership agreement made between the Parties to this Agreement in connection with the licence and delivery of content and/or platform services. Terms defined in the Partnership Agreement shall have the same meaning in this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise;     

Personal Data means any information relating to an identifiable natural person including without limitation:  contact information (name, image, voice, email address, contact number, technical data; contact details of children, parents, guardians, teachers; Payment information (credit/debit card and other payment information), identity data (gender, date of birth, age, interests, reasons for participation, financial information, preferences, geographical location; communication: (messages between users, discussions, comments to posts, notifications, etc.); user profile data including course material (assessments, assessment results and grades); user calendar entries and event data; user generated documents, presentations, images, homework and tasks; Platform(s) usage (including browsing behaviour / activities);  sensitive data such as physiological data in images or video or sound recordings captured by photography, video and/or sound recordings at our events or Partner events and other Personal Data users provide to the Data Controller and/or Processor. For the avoidance of doubt, Personal Data does not include Derivative Data.

IT IS AGREED THAT:

  1. Purpose

Pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to ensure that Personal Data processed pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement shall be undertaken lawfully in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Regulations and shall not come into the possession of any unauthorized third party. 

  1. Processing and Primary Responsibility 

This Agreement regulates the Data Processor's processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller, including the collection, recording, alignment, storage and disclosure or a combination of such data. Subject matter and details of Personal Data being processed are detailed in Appendix 1. 

The Data Processor itself has no right of disposal over the Personal Data and cannot process Personal Data for its own purposes. The Personal Data shall be solely used to fulfil the purposes of the Partnership Agreement within the limits that the Data Controller has laid down.

If the Data Processor is obliged by law to process Personal Data in any other manner than as instructed by the Data Controller, the Data Processor must notify the Data Controller before such processing commences, unless applicable legislation or legal process prevents it from providing such notice.

  1. The Data Controller’s role and responsibilities

The Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that there is a lawful basis for the processing of the      Personal Data, and that the actual processing is in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Legislation. 

As part of this responsibility, the Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that system administrator(s) holds the necessary authorisation, prior to processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller. 

The Data Controller shall also carry out any necessary privacy and data protection impact assessments, i.e., an assessment of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of Personal Data, prior to the processing. 

The Data Controller is responsible for requests from end users for access to Personal Data held by the Data Controller or the Data Processor pursuant to the agreement. If such requests are received by the Data Processor, the Data Processor will advise the end user to submit its request to the Data Controller, who is responsible for responding to any such request. 

If the Partnership Agreement allows for the Data Controller to install and enable additional products from external third parties (including extensions). The Data Controller acknowledges that if it installs, uses, or enables such third party products, which gain access to Personal Data, this data processor agreement does not apply to the processing of data transmitted to or from such external third party products. The Data Controller can enable or disable use of external third party products, and it is not required to use such products pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.

  1. The Data Processor’s role and obligations

The Data Processor shall process Personal Data solely on behalf of the Data Controller and only as instructed by the Data Controller. Incidental processing of Personal Data by the Data Processor to ensure the security, operational maintenance, analysis or evaluation of the services provided under the Partnership Agreement and not having any adverse impact on the level of data protection of the data subjects, shall not be presumed to constitute processing for the Data Processor’s own purposes. For the avoidance of doubt the Data Processor is authorized to process data to create Derivative Data for the purpose of delivering the services and its own purposes.  

The Data Processor undertakes to give the Data Controller access to all information which is necessary to document compliance with Applicable Data Protection Legislation, and to provide assistance so that the Data Controller can fulfil its responsibilities pursuant to the Applicable Data Protection Legislation.

Unless otherwise agreed or pursuant to statutory requirements, the Data Controller has a right of access to Personal Data that is processed by the Data Processor on behalf of the Data Controller and to all systems that are used for this purpose. The Data Processor undertakes to give assistance in this respect. However, the Data Processor shall not be obliged to disclose any business confidential or commercially sensitive information to the Data Controller. Furthermore, the Data Controller has no right of access where this implies a risk to the security or integrity of the relevant Personal Data. 

The Data Processor, including employees, has a duty of confidentiality regarding documentation and      Personal Data that the Data Processor has access to pursuant to this Agreement. This provision also applies after the termination of this Agreement. All necessary confidentiality agreements shall be entered into if the employees are not already bound by a statutory duty of confidentiality or secrecy. The duty of confidentiality also includes employees of Sub-Processors who carry out maintenance (or similar tasks) of systems that the Data Processor uses to provide or administer the service. 

The Data Processors internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorized persons and/or systems from gaining access to systems used to process Personal Data. The Data Processor designs its systems to only allow authorized persons to access data they are authorized to access; and ensure that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, altered or removed without authorization during processing, use and after recording. Approvals are managed by workflow tools that maintain audit records of all changes. Access to systems is logged to create an audit trail for accountability. The logs shall be kept by the Data Processor for a minimum of 3 months. The Data Controller shall, upon so requesting, be given access to such logs.

  1. Data Protection Officer

The Data Processor will appoint a data protection officer, if required, in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Data Protection Legislation.

  1. Use of sub-processors and export of data

The Data Processor's use of sub-processors to process Personal Data shall be agreed in writing with the Data Controller before the processing by the sub-processor commences unless the use of sub-processor already results from the Partnership Agreement. The Data Processor will ensure that any sub-processors only access and use Personal Data in accordance with the terms of this data processor agreement and that such sub-processors are bound by written agreements that require them to provide at least the level of data protection required by Applicable Data Protection Legislation. The Data Controller may, on reasonable and justifiable grounds, refuse to approve new sub-processors. 

The sub-processor's listed on the following website, are hereby approved by the Data Controller:  https://kidsloop.net/global/subprocessors. Should the Data Controller require more detailed information related to processing locations in order to comply with legal requirements or requests from data protection authorities, the Data Processor shall assist the Data Controller to address such compliance needs, provided that, prior to any such provision of information, the Data Controller has entered into appropriate confidentiality obligations where this is deemed necessary by the Data Processor. 

Changes concerning an addition or a replacement of an entity listed in the sub-processor list shall be made available to the Data Controller, including by announcing them to the Data Controller through automated notices or other means where appropriate. Within 4 weeks of receiving such notice, the Data Controller may object to any such change or addition solely on reasonable grounds. 

The Data Processor is responsible towards the Data Controller for the sub-processor's actions and omissions in the same manner as if these were the Data Processor's own acts or omissions. The Data Processor is responsible for ensuring that the sub-processor is familiar with the Data Processor's contractual and statutory duties, and that the sub-processor performs them in a similar manner vis-à-vis the Data Processor. 

The Data Processor, and any potential sub-processor, cannot transfer Personal Data outside the territory of operation of the Partnership or pre-approved third countries without the prior written consent of the Data Controller. Data Controller's access to or use of Personal Data from or in a third country shall not, on the account of the Data Processor or any sub-processor, be considered a transfer of Personal Data to such third country. 

To the extent such transfer of Personal Data is taking place, either to Data Processor entities or other third party sub-processors located in countries outside the territory of operation, such transfers shall be subject to binding and appropriate transfer mechanisms which provide an adequate level of protection in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Legislation.

Personal Data means any information relating to an identifiable natural person including without limitation:  contact information (name, image, voice, email address, contact number, technical data; contact details of children, parents, guardians, teachers; Payment information (credit/debit card and other payment information), identity data (gender, date of birth, age, interests, reasons for participation, financial information, preferences, geographical location; communication: (messages between users, discussions, comments to posts, notifications, etc.); user profile data including course material ( assessments, assessment results and grades); user calendar entries and event data; user generated documents, presentations, images, homework and tasks; Platform(s) usage (including browsing behaviour / activities);  sensitive data such as physiological data in images or video or sound recordings captured by photography, video and/or sound recordings at our events or Partner events and other Personal Data users provide to the Data Controller and/or Processor.

Data subjects

The Data Processor's processing of Personal Data via the service on behalf of Data Controller, may include, but is not limited to Personal Data relating to the Data Subjects as defined below.

Data subjects or authorized Partner user include the Partner’s employees including teachers, administrators, lecturers, mentors and others, the Partner's other employees and contractors, and any other user authorised by the Partner who transmits Personal Data via the service, including children, teacher and parents or guardians. 

APPENDIX 2 | ROUTINES OF DELETION 

Deletion of data upon termination of the Agreement 

Personal Data shall be deleted by the Data Processor once it is no longer necessary to fulfil the processing activities under the Agreement.  Either way, within 12 months from the termination of the Agreement between the Data Controller and Data Processor, all data processed on behalf of the Data Controller will be permanently deleted, including backups other than Derivative Data

Decommissioned storage media and erase policy 

Storage media/Disks (including HDDs, SSDs, memory sticks and tapes) containing data may experience performance issues, errors or hardware failure that lead them to be decommissioned. Every decommissioned storage media is subject to a series of data destruction processes before leaving Data Processor’s premises either for reuse or destruction, to ensure that all data is completely and securely wiped off and destructed. The erase results are logged by the decommissioned storage media’s serial number for tracking. We are also relying on public cloud storage. When data is deleted from the cloud, removal of the mapping from the public name to the stored information starts immediately and is generally processed across the distributed system within several seconds. Once the mapping is removed, there is no external access to the deleted object. That storage area is then made available only for write operations and the data is overwritten by newly stored data.

APPENDIX 3 | SECURITY MEASURES 

PARTNER Applicable Data Protection Regulations      

EUROPEAN UNION AND UNITED KINGDOM

GDPR Partner requirements (applicable to Partners established in the EU/EEA or the UK, or providing products and services to Data Subjects in the EU/EEA and the UK)

In general, GDPR requires you to:

  • Document and assess all processing of Personal Data and the systems being used. The purpose and lawfulness of the processing should be defined and you should make sure you do not process Personal Data that is not needed for the defined purpose.

  • Ensure the organisational and technical security of the processing and be able to demonstrate it. Assess your internal processes for data retention and security, and document it. Ensure that your own technology can provide sufficient technical security, and document it.

  • When you are using third-party services, like ours, to process Personal Data, you need to make sure that the data processing requirements are compliant with GDPR.

  • When acquiring new technology that is likely to result in a high risk to Personal Data, you need to perform a risk analysis – a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). As an existing Partner, our services are not new technology to you. But doing a DPIA might still be a good idea and will help you in documenting compliance.

  • Users (data subjects) have stronger rights under GDPR. Our Partners need to have a process in place for taking data subject requests, and for assessing the validity of the requests.

  • A particularly important data subject right is transparency and information. Make sure the information to your users on everything required under GDPR is easily accessible, including how they can exercise their rights. If your users are young, you should make sure this information is available to parents too.

  • Review the Kidsloop Data Processor Agreement, which purpose is to regulate the rights and duties pursuant to the European Data Protection Legislation, including the GDPR regulations, applicable to the Data Controller in connection with the Partnership Agreement.

BRAZIL 

In general, the LGPD requires you to:

  • Document and assess all processing of Personal Data and the systems being used. The purpose and lawfulness of the processing should be defined and you should make sure you do not process Personal Data that is not needed for the defined purpose.

If your users are young, you should make sure this information is available to parents too.

  • Review the Kidsloop Data Processor Agreement, which purpose is to regulate the rights and duties pursuant to the LGPD, applicable to the Data Controller in connection with the Partnership Agreement.

  • Ensure you have obtained consent from parents or guardians to process children (under 18 years of age) Personal Data, as required by LGPD, and that such consent includes our services and the transfer of the Personal Data to us so we can carry out the processing activities instructed by you according to the Kidsloop Data Processor Agreement.
