What is COPPA?
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law that regulates how websites and online services collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age.

- Make student data available for parental review upon request directed through the school
- Delete student data upon request from the school or parent
- School responsibilities:
- Provide consent on behalf of parents (or obtain direct parental consent where the school's policy requires it)
- Notify parents of the school's use of TimeGraphics and provide access to this COPPA policy
- Manage and supervise student accounts within the School Account
- Parental rights: Parents may at any time:
- Request to review their child's personal information (through the school or directly via privacy@time.graphics)
