Children's Privacy Statement (COPPA)

This page explains, in plain words, how DanStudyPath handles information about children under 13, as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) asks. It describes what the site does today. Last updated 2026-10-21 (version 2026-10-27). Our full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service also apply.

The short version. A child cannot create an account. A parent or legal guardian does that. We never ask a child for an email address, phone number, home address, school or photo. There are no ads, no trackers and no chat. Supplemental practice only. No guarantee of any test result, grade or school placement.

Who runs the site

This site (danstudypath.com) is operated by 4Learn Motto LLC, a Maryland limited liability company. Email: contact@4learnmotto.com. You can also write to us through the Contact page.

How a parent gives permission

  • Only an adult can sign up. The sign-up form asks the adult to confirm they are a parent or legal guardian, to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (a box that is never ticked for you), and to confirm their email address through a link we send.
  • Only after that can the adult add a learner profile for a child, and only that adult can change or delete it.
  • We record when the adult agreed, which version of the agreement they signed, what they ticked and the name they typed as their signature, together with a shortened network address (the first three number groups only). We keep this record for the life of the account and at least four years afterward, even if the account is deleted, so we can show that a parent gave permission.

What we keep about a child

  • A display name: one first name or nickname. The form accepts only one name with no spaces, so a full name cannot be typed in.
  • A grade.
  • A random profile number (a long random code that says nothing about the child).
  • A child sign-in, if the parent sets one: a username the parent chooses (it does not have to be real) and a password kept only as a one-way hash.
  • Practice answers: which question was answered, whether it was correct and when, so progress and stars can follow the child. The practice timer and round length are settings the parent chooses.

What we never ask a child for

  • An email address, phone number, home address, school name or location, photo, video or voice recording.
  • Anything typed freely. The "work it out" pad lives only in the page and is never saved or sent.
  • Anything for advertising: we show no ads, and we do not use a tracking or advertising script from another company on any page.

Who sees it, and who does not

  • We do not sell or rent a child's information and do not share it with advertisers.
  • The companies that help us run the site (hosting, account email, payments for paid plans) may use information only to provide that service to us.
  • There is no chat, comment or message feature, and practice questions never link to other websites, so a child cannot be contacted or share anything through the site.

What a parent can do at any time

  • Review and download everything stored for the account and its learners from the account page.
  • Delete a child's practice history from My Progress, or remove a learner profile from the Learners page, which stops any further collection about that child.
  • Delete the whole account (and with it every learner and their history) from the account page, after confirming a one-time link sent to the parent's email.
  • Ask us anything through the Contact page or at contact@4learnmotto.com.

If a child gives us personal information

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child under 13. If a child ever types personal information into a box meant for something else, tell us and we will delete it as soon as we find it.

How long we keep it

Our policy is to remove practice history after about a year of inactivity, and a parent can delete it sooner at any time (see the Privacy Policy, "How long we keep data").

Schools

If a school or district asks us to sign a student-data agreement, please contact us before rolling the site out at a school.

Changes

If we change this statement we will post the new date and version here. If a change affects how we handle a child's information in a way that needs a parent's permission, we will ask the parent again.
