Welcome to English 1500 Conversation (the "App")! We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially students. This Privacy Policy explains how MADIVA collects, uses, and shares information when you use our App. We understand the importance of safeguarding student data and have designed our App and this policy with that in mind.
1. Information We Collect
We collect different types of information, depending on how you interact with the App. We strive to collect only the data necessary for the App's functionality and your learning experience.

For Teachers/Administrators: Name, Email Address, School Name, Role (Teacher/Administrator), and potentially subject areas taught.
Profile Information (Optional): You may choose to provide a profile picture (with appropriate permissions) and a short bio. Students may be limited in what they can share in their bios.

Hosting and data storage
Analytics and performance monitoring
Customer support
These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
Educational Institutions (With Explicit Consent): We may share student progress data with schools or districts only if we have explicit consent from the parent/guardian (for students) or the teacher/administrator. The data shared will be limited to what is necessary for educational purposes. We will have a separate agreement with each school outlining the data sharing practices.
Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information to legal authorities if required by law, court order, or legal process.
Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred. We will provide notice and ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
We take children's privacy very seriously. [Choose ONE of the following options and adapt it to your app's situation. If your app targets children under 13, legal counsel is absolutely essential.]
Option 1 (App DOES target children under 13): Our App is designed for children under 13. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We collect personal information from children only with verifiable parental consent. We will provide parents with information about our data collection practices and allow them to review and delete their child's information. [Provide specific details about your COPPA-compliant practices, including how you obtain parental consent.]
Option 2 (App DOES NOT target children under 13): Our App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete the information. We may require age verification to prevent access by children under 13.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:
Data encryption (both in transit and at rest)
Access controls and role-based permissions
Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
Employee training on data privacy and security
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Choices
Account Management: You can access, update, or delete your account information through the App's settings. Parents/guardians can review and delete their child's information.
Communication Preferences: You can manage your communication preferences and opt-out of receiving non-essential notifications.
Data Access: You may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Data Deletion: You may have the right to request that we delete your personal information. [Explain the process for data deletion.]
7. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy in the App and/or through other appropriate means (e.g., email notification). Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
