How do we protect the data?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can offer our services to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and it offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the PCI-DSS (credit card industry data security standard) regulations of the PCI Security Standards Council. This involves collaboration between brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) by our store and service providers.

Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection or security of the data that you upload, post or otherwise share with us or others.

For this reason, we ask that you set strong passwords and, if possible, not provide us or others with any confidential information that you believe, if disclosed, could cause you significant or lasting harm. Additionally, because email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share any confidential information through any of these communication channels.

Parents can view information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting any additional information from your child, and request that any information we have collected be deleted from our records.
