        Children's Privacy

        We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and take the necessary steps to protect the privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13 without obtaining verifiable parental consent.

        FERPA Compliance

        We comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and ensure that the personal information of students is protected in accordance with the requirements of the Act. We will not disclose any personally identifiable information from a student's education records without the written consent of the student's parent or the eligible student, except as permitted under FERPA.

        CCPA Compliance

        If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell your personal information to third parties. You can request access to or deletion of your personal information or request to opt-out of the sale of your personal information by contacting us at the email address below.


        GDPR Compliance

        If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the General Data Protection Regulation grants you certain rights regarding your Personal Data. We collect Personal Data based on your consent, as outlined in this Privacy Policy, and it may be necessary to transfer your data outside the EEA to our servers or those maintained on our behalf. Such transfers are conducted with your explicit consent.

        When submitting your Personal Data, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer, storage, or processing. We are committed to ensuring that your information is protected and your privacy rights are respected. In cases where your Personal Data is transferred outside of the EEA, we specifically aim to transfer such data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission. This ensures that the data is handled and protected in a manner that is consistent with how it would be within the EEA, in line with our privacy policy. In situations where transfers are made to countries without an adequacy decision, we will implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules, to ensure that your Personal Data remains protected in accordance with GDPR requirements.


        Data Subject Rights and Queries

        In alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our commitment to uphold your privacy rights, we have established a comprehensive system designed to facilitate the exercise of data subject rights. These rights include access to:

        • Personal Information: You have the right to access personal data we hold about you and to have incomplete or incorrect data corrected.
        • Objection to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right to object to decisions based solely on automated processing.
        • Restriction of Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, as well as the right to have that data transmitted to another controller.
        • Data Updates: You have the right to correct any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
        • Data Erasure: You have the right to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.

          We are dedicated to responding promptly and efficiently to all requests related to the above rights, in accordance with GDPR and other applicable data protection laws and regulations. We do not charge an administration fee for processing such requests, unless a request is determined to be unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

          If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please send your request via email to privacy@zonesofregulation.com . Our privacy team is committed to ensuring that your data protection and privacy rights are respected and upheld at all times.
