Course usage information

4. Children's Privacy — COPPA Notice
Heritage Lessons courses are designed for children aged 8–12. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) places strict requirements on websites that collect information from children under 13. Please read this section carefully. |
Heritage Lessons accounts are created and held exclusively by parents or guardians — not by children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. Children access course content under the supervision of a parent or guardian using the parent's account.
By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and, if enrolling a child, that you are that child's parent or legal guardian.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us without parental consent, please contact us immediately at hello@heritagelessons.com. We will promptly delete any such information from our records.
