Privacy Policy

Who We Are

PlayWithLearn.com is a free online educational games platform designed for children aged 3–10. We provide brain games, math games, language activities, puzzles, and creativity tools — all at no cost and with no account required.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of www.playwithlearn.com.

Information We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate and improve the website.

No account creation is required to use our platform. We cannot identify any individual visitor by the data we collect.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

PlayWithLearn.com is designed for children. We take our obligations under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) very seriously.

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
• Our platform requires no registration, no login, and no personal data from any user, including children.
• We do not allow children to submit personal information through our website.
• Advertising on this site, where displayed, is configured to serve non-personalized ads only, in compliance with Google's policies for child-directed content.

How We Use Information

The anonymous, aggregated data we collect is used solely to:

• Understand which games and features are most popular
• Identify and fix technical issues
• Improve website performance and load times
• Plan and develop new educational content
• Ensure the platform works correctly across different devices and browsers

We do not use data to build user profiles, target individuals, or sell information to any third party.

Google AdSense & Advertising

PlayWithLearn.com may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. This helps us cover operating costs and keep the platform free for all users.

Google AdSense may use cookies to measure ad performance and frequency. These cookies are set by Google, not by PlayWithLearn.com. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com.

To opt out of Google's interest-based advertising, visit adssettings.google.com or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This service collects anonymous, aggregated data such as page views, session duration, and device type. Google Analytics does not identify individual users.

We have enabled IP anonymization on all Google Analytics data collected from our website.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): Track anonymous usage patterns to help us improve the site.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): Used to serve and measure non-personalized ads.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., recently played games) within a session.

You can disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the website.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent user data. The only third-party services we use are:

• Google Analytics – website usage analytics (anonymized data)
• Google AdSense – non-personalized advertising

Both services are operated by Google LLC and subject to Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, but we have no personal user data to share beyond what is described in this policy.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect our website and any data we hold. This includes:

• HTTPS encryption on all pages
• Regular security updates and monitoring
• Minimal data collection (we cannot lose data we never collect)

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. However, because we do not collect personal information, the risk to users is minimal.

Your Rights

As we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data profile to access, correct, or delete. However, you are entitled to:

• Opt out of Google Analytics via the browser add-on linked in Section 6.
• Opt out of personalized advertising via Google's ad settings (Section 5).
• Disable cookies through your browser settings (Section 7).
• Contact us with any privacy concerns at support@playwithlearn.com.

GDPR (EU & UK Users)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Our legal basis for processing anonymous analytics data is legitimate interest in improving and operating our free educational service.

Since we do not collect or store personally identifiable information, the full scope of GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability) is not applicable — there is no personal data held about you. For advertising, we rely on consent, which you may withdraw by adjusting your cookie settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Significant changes will also be noted on our homepage for 30 days after they take effect.

Continued use of PlayWithLearn.com after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
