How EDOKI ACADEMY protects Personal Data

EDOKI ACADEMY takes the protection of your Personal Data and your privacy into account when designing its services (Privacy by design). To ensure the security of this data and respect of your rights, EDOKI ACADEMY implements measures to protect your Personal Data (Privacy by default).

What Personal Data does EDOKI ACADEMY use?

EDOKI ACADEMY only collects the data necessary to operate our services.

In the case where optional data is requested, EDOKI ACADEMY will clearly inform you about the Personal Data required to perform the service.

Personal Data is used to provide you with other services, only if you have agreed to receive commercial communications.

We encourage parents to use the parent dashboard in the apps and that children play with parental supervision.

We collect the following personal information:

  • For each parental account: an email address, and a password. All parent accounts are transferable across our apps i.e.you can use the same login credentials in all the apps and on the website. In Edoki Sight Words Adventure, parents can record a word for the child to learn. These recordings and your child’s drawings are saved to our servers so that they may be accessed wherever you log in.
  • For each teacher account: an email address, first and last name, phone number, district name, school name, school country, city and post code/zip code. For each child (optionally): a first name, a nickname, or any string of characters that the user chooses to identify the child with. We also collect the following non-personal information: the devices used to play, your country and language chosen the first time the app was opened.
  • We also collect the following non-personal information: For each use of an application: the information related to the use.

Like most websites, we also automatically collect information about your computer such as the IP address, browser type, operating system and pages visited.

We use this information to:

  • Improve the mechanics of our games and adapt the interface to the user’s needs,
  • Track the user’s progress,
  • Conduct research and analysis on our own behalf,
  • Answer questions and concerns, and
  • View content based on your use of the service (for example, progress).
  • To send you information and offers on our services, via our partners.

Social networks

We allow parents to create a profile and share information such as messages, photos and videos with others. We cannot control the actions of others with whom you decide to share your pages and information. We also cannot guarantee that the content you post from our site will not be seen by anyone outside your network.

What is the basis for the legitimacy of our treatment of your Personal Data?

EDOKI ACADEMY relies on the following legitimate bases to process personal data:

Execution of contract

The legal basis for the processing and collection of the user’s Personal Data is the execution of the contract of sale. In this respect, the user is obliged to provide the data necessary for the sale’s execution. If they do not provide this data to the online payment provider, it will not be possible to make the sale.

Consent

The legal basis for processing the user's Personal Data is their consent. In the event that they have given it, EDOKI ACADEMY reserves the right to use it for the following purposes:

  • Managing the subscription on the website and to the applications.
  • Managing the sending of information about exclusive promotions, the latest news and personalized information tailored to the user’s profile.
  • Answer to the user’s request to exercise their rights to access, modify, cancel or oppose, as well as address any questions or claims.
  • Managing the availability alert service for new applications.
  • Managing and issuing of documents certifying the sale, such as a digital ticket.

The withdrawal of consent to these treatments by the user will not condition the execution of the contract of sale concluded by the person concerned with EDOKI ACADEMY.

Our services are intended to be used by minors only with the consent and under the control of their parents or legal representatives.

Who can your Personal Data be sent to?

Your data may be transmitted:

  • Our partners to send you information and announcements related to our services.

Can your Personal Data be transferred outside the European Union?

Edoki Academy stores your data on servers located in the United States that are managed by MongoDB Atlas. MongoDB Atlas participates in the EU-US Data Protection Shield in accordance with the decision made by the European Commission on July 12, 2016 concerning the collection, use, and retention of personal data from EU Member States, and also signed contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data outside the EU.
