This Privacy Policy applies to information you provide to ExQ, LLC (“we” or “us”) only via our Web site located at www.myexq.com (the “Site”) and through the “ExQ: for School” service or similar service available from the Site (“ExQ Service”). This Privacy Policy does not govern other Web sites or any other data collection, disclosure or usage practices, off-line or otherwise, including through our general company web site at https://exqinfiniteknowhow.com/.
Effective date: June 12, 2020
The ExQ Service is offered as a school-based service. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) allows schools and school administrators to act in the place of parents to provide consent to the collection of personal information from children. Schools should always notify parents about these activities. Schools and school districts must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) when providing student information to us from students’ records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to a school’s use and disclosure of their children’s education records. We work with schools in order to provide services in a manner that is consistent with FERPA. For more information on parental rights with respect to a child’s educational record under FERPA, please visit the FERPA site. In all circumstances, children should always check with their parents or guardians before entering information on any website, and we encourage families to discuss their household guidelines regarding the online sharing of personal information.
Subscriptions to the ExQ Service are also available outside of the school context to individuals and parents of children. If you are subscribing to the ExQ Service on behalf of yourself or your child outside of the school context, then ExQ may get your consent to your child’s participation and the uses of personal information described in this Privacy Policy. If you are a parent/guardian consenting on behalf of your child, we will use a method allowed by law to verify your identity before implementing your request.
Children under the age of 13 should not register for their own account with the ExQ Service. Setup of accounts for the ExQ Service for children under the age of 13 is coordinated with a child’s teachers, parent/guardian, or both. If you are a parent of a child participating through a school program, please coordinate with your child’s teacher to set up an account for your child.
ExQ values the trust you place in us regarding the handling of your information and that of your children. If you would like to review the information we have collected from your child, or if you would like to ask us to make no further use of or delete the information we have collected from your child, contact us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. In your request, please include your name and email and your child’s name, and specify the question or concern or the action you would like us to take. For your child’s protection, we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.
If you ask us to remove your child’s information, your child will not be able to use the ExQ Service any longer.
