Please continue reading to learn about the rules and restrictions that govern your use of MobilePermissions.com’s website(s) and all other products, services and applications made available by MobilePermissions.com from time to time (collectively, the “Services”).

We constantly try to improve our Services, so we may update this Agreement as we offer new and improved Services. We may modify this Agreement at any time, but we will do our best to bring this to your attention by posting a notice on the Services. If you don’t agree with the new terms, you may reject them but unfortunately you will no longer be able to use the Services. Your use of the Services in any way following notification by MobilePermissions.com constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions as modified. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features, impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services at any time.

We take the privacy of our users very seriously. Please read our Privacy Policy, located at MobilePermissions.com/privacy-policy.

COPPA Details

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers notify parents of children in the United States and obtain their consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. MobilePermissions.com only collects personal information through the Services for a child under 13 where that student’s school, district and/or teacher has agreed, via the terms described below, to obtain parental consent to disclose that personal information to MobilePermissions.com. Except as expressly set forth below, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under 13.

  • For children under 13 we may collect a child’s name (first name and last name), and the child’s parent’s first and last name and phone number. We collect these in order to notify the parent for the purpose of providing the Services for which the child’s teacher, Organizer (as described below) or school administrator has signed up to use.
  • If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning you must obtain consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will have information used by the Services. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you are authorized by your school or district to use the Services. You also represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school or district. For more information on COPPA, please click here.
  • If you are a school, district, or teacher providing consent on behalf of parents or guardians, you may be required to provide adequate school credentials and a valid school email address to verify your identity.
