Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Notice for Schools



Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), online service providers such as TPR Education, LLC d/b/a The Princeton Review and Tutor.com, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” and “our”) must generally provide notification and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13. In cases where schools contract with online service providers to offer programs solely for the use and benefit of schools and their students, COPPA allows for schools to act as a parent’s agent and to consent under COPPA to the collection, use, and disclosure of a child’s information on the parent’s behalf. In order for us to rely on consent obtained from a child’s school instead of the parent under COPPA, we must provide the information in this notice.


We may collect personal information about a school’s students under the age of 13, which may include but is not limited to the following: name, email address, student ID number, course enrollments, video, audio, parent email address, parent phone number, graduation year, cookies, and IP address.


We may use personal information to provide our services; create and manage student accounts; provide customer service; maintain our internal records and otherwise manage our business; send newsletters and otherwise correspond about our products, services, and events that may be of interest; ask for reviews and testimonials and send surveys and questionnaires; administer sweepstakes and other promotions; develop and display content tailored to students’ interests on our website; and detect, prevent, or investigate illegal activity or misuse of our products or services and enforce our legal rights.


We may share personal information with the school that arranged for their students’ participation in our programs and with our service providers and other vendors; may disclose personal information when compelled to do so by government authorities or otherwise as required or permitted by law and to protect the safety of others or when we believe that someone is causing injury to or interfering with our rights or property or the rights and property of others; and may share personal information as part of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation or liquidation.
