Literatu Privacy Statement and Policy
What kinds of personal information do we collect and how?


The personal information we collect depends on your relationship with us – whether you are a teacher, student or parent. Base personal information we collect with your permission on registration to our website / services / applications includes:

• your nominated email address
• your current name

Should we ever request further information to verify your account, we will only collect sensitive information from you or about you with your consent unless otherwise required or authorised by law.

​

When users submit information about themselves, it is assumed that the user has granted consent to our collection of that information.  When we obtain such information from a third party (such as through a school or institution at which you or your child studies), we will usually enlist that third party to obtain consent from you if that is required. Should that third party register an account in Literatu for you, it is assumed that consent was given.

What is our approach to collecting personal information about children?


We collect information about students who, for example, complete assessments at schools who use Literatu. In general, a person over 15 years will have the capacity to make his or her own privacy decisions.


For children who are under 15 years old, or who otherwise cannot make these decisions for themselves, Literatu will refer or deal with requests for access, consent and notices in relation to personal information to the parent and/or guardian or relevant school or institution to whom the user account is associated.  We will treat consent given by a teacher, parent and/or guardian as consent given on behalf of the child, and notices to the relevant school or other institution or teacher, parent and/or guardian will act as notice given to the child.

Children's on-line privacy protection
