This Privacy Policy applies between you, the user of this Website, and Autism Learning Worlds (“we,” “our,” or “us”), the owner and operator of this Website. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect data in connection with your use of www.autismlearningworlds.com (“Website”). By using this Website, you agree to the terms of this policy.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the actions of Autism Learning Worlds and users with respect to this Website. It does not extend to any websites that can be accessed from this Website, including third-party tools or links we may use to deliver our services.
Autism Learning Worlds is an educational platform based in California, United States. We provide calming, visual social-emotional learning resources designed for K–8 learners with autism and other special needs, as well as for their parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists.
We collect only the minimum amount of information necessary to provide our services. This may include your name and email address to create and manage your account, your login credentials to secure your access, and subscription or billing details to process payments through our payment processor, Stripe. We do not collect any personal data from children, and we do not collect sensitive data such as health information, religious affiliation, or demographic identifiers. We do not track user behavior for advertising or analytics.
We use your information to register your account, grant access to subscription content, process payments, respond to support requests, and maintain the functionality and security of the Website. We do not use your data for marketing purposes. We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer your personal information to third parties for advertising or data analysis.
Your account and payment data are stored securely using encryption and secure hosting infrastructure. We do not store your full credit or debit card information. All payment information is handled securely through Stripe. We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services or to comply with legal or financial obligations.
Autism Learning Worlds uses a small number of trusted third-party platforms to provide and support our services. These include Stripe for payment processing, Genially for interactive games, and Vyond and Powtoon for visual and animated educational content. These tools may collect minimal, non-identifying information solely to enable the functionality of the embedded content. We do not allow these services to collect or use personal data from our users beyond what is required to deliver their functionality.
Autism Learning Worlds is committed to protecting the privacy of children. While certain areas of the platform, such as the Kids Zone, are designed for independent use by children, we do not knowingly collect, store, or request any personal information from users under the age of 13. Children are not required to enter names, email addresses, or any identifiable data to access content.
The platform does not include interactive features such as chat, comments, or user-uploaded content that would collect or expose personal information from child users.
Adults—including parents, caregivers, and educators—are responsible for supervising children's use of the platform. By using the Website, you agree to ensure that no personal data is submitted by or about a child under 13.
If we discover that personal information from a child has been submitted, with or without adult oversight, we will delete the data immediately and take appropriate action to maintain compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
We take data security seriously and use physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your information. Our Website uses SSL encryption, secure login protocols, and secure cloud infrastructure. We also ensure that passwords are stored securely using best practices. While we do everything in our power to protect your data, no system is immune from risk. By using the Website, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of online data transmission.
You have the right to access and update your account information, cancel your subscription, or request deletion of your account and associated data. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@autismlearningworlds.com. We will respond promptly, unless we are legally required to retain certain information, such as financial records for tax or audit purposes.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, services, or internal policies. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. If the changes are significant, we will notify users by email or post a notice on the Website. Your continued use of the Website following such updates constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at support@autismlearningworlds.com.
