1. Children's Privacy & Safety (COPPA/GDPR-K)

At BuildVerse, we are dedicated to providing a safe, educational, and secure environment. Because we teach physical coding and engineering to students under the age of 18, we take special precautions to protect children's privacy under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child privacy regulations.

• Parental Involvement: We require express parental consent before children under the age of 18 (and especially under 13) can register for our active coding portals. Parents are provided with linked monitoring accounts to track student progress, assignments, and certificates.
• Data Minimization: We collect only the minimum necessary information to run our classes: name, email address, password, age range, parent email, and homework/project data. We do not require children to share unnecessary personal details.
• No Third-Party Tracking: We do not run third-party advertising tracking or behavior monitoring networks on our platform.
• Parental Rights: Parents have the absolute right to review, update, or request the deletion of their child's account and personal details at any time by contacting our support team at klubx09@gmail.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including registration data when you sign up for a free workshop or dashboard account, contact us via form or WhatsApp, or log in via Google authentication. This includes: name, email, parent-student link association, billing details, and any projects, code, or homework uploaded as part of the curriculum.

3. How We Use Information

We use the collected information to provision accounts, operate the interactive dashboard, grade projects, award completion certificates, send workshop links, and provide customer support. We do not sell, rent, or lease user data to third parties.

4. Authentication & Security

We use Firebase Authentication (including Google Sign-In) to manage access. Your passwords are never stored in plain text. We utilize SSL encryption for all data transit and adhere to strict access controls on database records.

Parents and legal guardians are fully responsible for the activities of their children while using the platform. Parents are encouraged to utilize the Parent Portal dashboard to monitor their child's engagement, feedback, and class schedules.

3. Physical Kit Usage & Safety

Our workshops involve building physical coding and hardware projects (such as ESP8266 development boards, wiring, and sensor packages). Students must follow the lead mentor's instructions and guides carefully. BuildVerse is not liable for minor electrical shorts, component damages, or hardware misuse by the student during home-based experiments.
