This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by MyAskA, (“MyAskA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites located at https://myaska.com and https://worktour.com, and subdomains of myaska.com and worktour.com (the “Site”), and when you use our products and services (collectively with the Site, the “Service”) or when you otherwise interact with us. As used herein, “you” means a user of the Service and, in addition, when the user of the Service is a minor registered by a parent and/or guardian, the term “you” also includes such parent and/or guardian.
By using the service, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully.
We strive to educate parents and kids about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Services. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use our Service. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information through our Site and/or Service, and we recommend that parents discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of Personal Information (as defined below) to anyone they don’t know. Please see the Children’s Privacy Section below for more information about our privacy practices regarding children under the age of 13.
We collect certain “Personal Information” you provide directly to us. For example, when you create an account, you will be asked to provide us with certain information, such as a user name or your first name, last name, and email address. We may also collect your school name, your grade level, and a profile picture. We collect financial information (e.g., credit card or bank account information) when you subscribe to our Services.
If you are under the age of 13, we will ask for your parent’s email address so we can get parental consent, as described more fully in the Children’s Privacy Section below. Other than the online contact information required to obtain parental consent, we do not collect any Personal Information from users under the age of 13 unless the user’s parent or legal guardian has first provided us with consent for that user to use the Services and disclose Personal Information to us. If you are a user under the age of 13, please do not send any Personal Information to us if we have not obtained prior consent from your parent or guardian. If we learn we have collected Personal Information from a user under the age of 13 without parental consent, or if we learn a user under the age of 13 has provided us Personal Information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a user under the age of 13 may have provided us Personal Information in violation of this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Service and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by MyAskA and third parties to, among other things, analyze and track data; help us run our Site and Service, including to help us understand who uses the Service; for internal operations such as general record keeping as well as operating and improving the Service; to perform statistical analysis of user behavior; and to evaluate and improve the Service..

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through the Services, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Site or Services, and you do so at your own risk.
Please be aware that whenever you share information on any public area of the Site or Services, that information may be accessed by others.

This means that anyone with access to such information can potentially use it for any purpose, including sending unsolicited communications.
Our Site and Services may contain links to other websites or allow others to send you such links. A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a third-party website before providing any information to the website.
If a child below the age of 13 seeks to create an account or otherwise use our Services, we will email their parent. This email notifies the parent that their child wants to register or create an account, and it asks the parent to create an account to grant consent for their child to register. If the parent ignores or refuses to register the child, we will delete the child and parent’s contact information within 14 days of such notice. If the parent permits the registration, we will grant the child access to the features described in this Privacy Policy.
To help verify that the parent is the person providing consent, MyAskA may ask for certain pieces of information to verify the parent's identity, such as name or email address.
Once we obtain parental consent, a child can use our Services much like any other user. And we may collect from the child the same types of Personal Information, and use and share that information for the same purposes, as described in the general policy.
We do not, nor do we allow third parties to, collect kids' personal data (including persistent identifiers) for behavioral advertising, amassing a profile, or any purpose other than to support its internal operations unless we have obtained explicit prior parental consent. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis, marketing and other commercial purposes.
We use a restricted version of Google Analytics to limit data sharing and tracking on areas of our site and mobile apps that are accessed by children.
Parents and legal guardians of children under 13 can consent to collection and use of a child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents or guardians can review information their children under 13 have contributed to us by accessing their child's account or contacting us. Parents can also request that we delete that information and refuse to allow us to collect further information from their children by contacting us. We may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of a parent or guardian before responding to a request to review or delete a child's information or a request to refuse further collection from a child.
You may update, correct or delete information about you at any time by logging into your online account and modifying your personal profile. If you wish to delete or suspend your account, contact us but note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
