We and our service providers collect information when users visit our website or create an account to use the Services. The types of information we collect vary depending on the type of user using the Services, including:

• “Parent Users” or “Parents” (including parents and legal guardians of Student Users).
• "Student" or "Student" (a child and/or student using the Services).
• "Teacher User" or "Teacher" (a teacher, administrator or other school employee who opens a teacher account to use the Services, including those with the ability to add student user accounts).

A student user account can be linked to one or more parent users or teacher users to facilitate a continuous learning journey for that student user both in and out of the classroom. Any parent or teacher user associated with that student user account will have access to that account's information, including activities logged in and out of the classroom.

For more information on each account type, see ourTerms of use.

Information collected from users

We collect information from users when they submit it to us. For example, when you purchase a product or service, sign up for our newsletter, or otherwise contact us with a question, chat, comment, or customer support request, we may collect and use the information you provide.

If you submit information about others in connection with their use of the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and you allow Prodigy to use and disclose the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

student users

We collect information about student users when the student creates an account directly with us or when the student user account is created by a parent or teacher. We are committed to collecting the minimum amount of information about students necessary to operate the Services.

When a Prodigy student user account is created, we collect student information:

• First name
• last initial
• Location (country, state or province)
• graduation
• Password.

If a student has a class code from their teacher (an alphanumeric code that only applies to a teacher), the student will use that code to connect to the teacher in game. In this case, Prodigy may also receive the name of the student's teacher, school, and/or school district.

Students are assigned a unique username based on their first name, last initial, and an assigned number that is used to log in but not visible to anyone other than the student's parent and/or linked teacher. The student then chooses a fictional avatar name and appearance from a list of options (for example, "Billy Summerwalker"), which are the only ways users can be distinguished within the game, although these avatar names and appearances are ambiguous (i.e. there could be multiple users choosing the name "Billy Summerwalker").

Parent Users

The teacher may also voluntarily provide their job title, school name, country and a profile picture so they can maintain a more detailed profile.
