Introduction

Phonics with Comics LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the ReaderVerseā„¢ web application (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our Service.

By accessing or using ReaderVerse, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.

Current Data Collection Practices

We currently do not collect, store, or process any personal information from our users. Our Service is designed to function without requiring personal data collection. Please note that your web browser, hosting infrastructure, content delivery networks, and other third-party services necessary to operate our Service may automatically transmit or collect certain technical information as part of standard internet communication protocols.

However, this Privacy Policy outlines our potential future practices should we implement data collection features, and addresses certain technical information that may be automatically generated during your use of the Service.

Automatically Generated Technical Information

When you access our Service, certain technical information may be automatically generated by your browser or device, including:

  • IP addresses (used for basic service functionality)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Access times and dates
  • Pages or features accessed

This information is not actively collected or stored by us, but may be temporarily processed to deliver the Service to you.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We currently do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies. If we implement such technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide you with appropriate notice and options to control such technologies.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service may be used by children under the age of 13. We take children’s privacy seriously and comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we implement features that collect personal information in the future, we will obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete such information.

Future Data Collection

If we decide to collect personal information in the future, we may collect:

  • Account information (name, email address, username)
  • Educational information (grade level, reading preferences)
  • Usage and progress data
  • Payment information (if we implement paid features)

Should we begin collecting personal information, we will:

  • Update this Privacy Policy with specific details
  • Provide clear notice to users
  • Obtain any necessary consents, including parental consent for children under 13
  • Implement appropriate security measures

How We Would Use Information

If we collect personal information in the future, we would use it only for purposes such as:

  • Providing and improving our Service
  • Personalizing user experience
  • Communicating with users about the Service
  • Processing transactions
  • Complying with legal obligations

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share user information. We do not currently have any data to share.

If we collect data in the future, we would only share information in limited circumstances:

  • With service providers who assist in operating our Service (under strict confidentiality agreements)
  • When required by law or to protect our legal rights
  • In connection with a business transfer (merger, acquisition, or sale)
  • With your explicit consent

Data Security

Although we do not currently collect personal data, we implement reasonable security measures to protect our Service from unauthorized access and ensure its integrity.

Should we collect personal information in the future, we will implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect that information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or transfer your data.

Since we do not currently collect personal information, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. If we begin collecting data in the future, we will provide clear mechanisms for exercising these rights.

Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

International Users

Our Service is operated in the United States. If you access our Service from outside the United States, please be aware that any information (if collected in the future) may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly if we implement new features that involve data collection. We will notify users of any material changes by:

  • Posting the new Privacy Policy on this page
  • Updating the “Last Updated” date
  • Providing prominent notice on our Service (for significant changes)

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
