Lightspeed Systems complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, otherwise known as “COPPA.”
This notice describes our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under the age of 13. Our limited use of this information is described here and in detail in the Lightspeed Systems Privacy Policy and Terms of Use that describes our commitment to each school and school district (“School”) with which we partner. We are providing this notice to you as an official authorized to act on behalf of your School.
By registering for an account, agreeing to the Terms of Use and other binding agreements, or submitting payment to Lightspeed Systems, your School consents to our collection of this information so that we can deliver the Lightspeed Systems service. COPPA allows for educational institutions to act as a parent’s agent in certain educational contexts. This is outlined in the Federal Trade Commission’s document titled “Complying with COPPA: Frequently Asked Questions” (covered in Section N on “COPPA and Schools”).
Lightspeed Systems may collect student personal information provided by Schools and parents/guardians, including:

We may use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information (information that does not, on its own, permit direct association with students’ identities) for any lawful purpose.

Aggregated data is considered non-personal information.
Lightspeed Systems will not sell student personal information or seek to profit directly from such information. We will not use personally identifiable student information to target advertisements or market to students or anyone else, to amass a profile about a student for a non-educational purpose, or for any purposes prohibited by the Family Educational and Privacy Rights Act (“FERPA”) or applicable state law.

As stated in Lightspeed Systems’ Terms of Use, Lightspeed relies on consent obtained from the School, acting as an agent of the parent or legal guardian of the School’s students, as permitted by COPPA, for using the Lightspeed Systems services in connection with students under 13 years of age. By registering for an account, agreeing to the Terms of Use and other binding agreements, or submitting payment to Lightspeed Systems, the School represented and warranted that it has obtained all consents required under applicable law. The School must keep all consents on file and provide them to us if we request them.
Lightspeed Systems supports Schools’ ability to access, correct, and delete personally identifiable information of students. In many cases, the School can fulfil the request itself using the services. Alternatively, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this notice, or if the School would like to access, correct, or delete student information on behalf of the School or pursuant to parent/guardian requests in accordance with COPPA (or in accordance with FERPA, or other applicable laws), please contact us at privacy@lightspeedsystems.com.
