California Online Privacy Protection (COPPA) Act Statement

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more here.

Makers Empire Software

The Makers Empire 3D app is accessed by students using accounts with unique usernames. These usernames can be chosen by the school and designed to not identify the child. Teachers have the ability to associate usernames with students names, but are able to make these general (e.g. “Mark H”).

Email addresses can be added to accounts but are not necessary. Teachers can use their own email address for all students in their class.

Schools can choose privacy settings – student designs can be shared:

  1. publicly;
  2. only within a school;
  3. only with other schools

Any shared designs will also include the username of the designer.

Information Collected

We respect the privacy of children, and do not collect any more personal information than reasonably necessary to enable them to use Makers Empire.

It is possible to use Makers Empire 3D app without entering any personally identifiable information.

We do not have any agreements with outside organizations to collect personal information on our website or 3D app.

We do not share children’s (or adult’s) personal information with any third party.

As a parent, you have the legal right to review and secure correction of personal information that we have obtained from your child under the age of 13.
