Welcome to PlayPosit, our interactive video platform and related services (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the Service on our Web site at https://www.playposit.com, as well as any mobile sites, mobile applications, and other internet points of presence that we make available to you as part of the Service (collectively, the “Site”). “Service,” as used in these Terms of Use, means the Web-based services we make available to users.
By using the Service, you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Service. As used in these Terms of Use, “we,” “us” or “our” means PlayPosit Inc.
1. MODIFICATIONS. We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use by posting an updated version on our Web site from time to time.
2. PRIVACY. Your use of the Service, and our use of any personal information and content you submit to the Service, is governed by our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy also governs our collection and use of email addresses, mobile phone numbers, names and school information from users. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices.
3. ELIGIBILITY. Though we have designed the Service to allow users to effectively build and present interactive video, our Web-based Service is not intended for anyone 13 years of age or younger. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 13 years of age. COPPA requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. Therefore, we only collect personal information through the Service from a child under 13 where that student’s school, district, and/or teacher has agreed (via the terms described in the following paragraph) to obtain parental consent for that child to use the Service and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Service. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at privacy@playposit.com.
If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Service. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Service as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.
