This Privacy Policy applies to all your Personal Data, whether in physical or electronic mode, in our possession or under our control, including personal data in the possession of organisations which we have engaged to collect, use, disclose or process personal data for our purposes.

Please note this Privacy Policy shall be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions as set out at www.learningislands.com  and any additional terms of use incorporated by reference into thereunder, and it applies when we collect and process Personal Data about you for offering you our products and services accessible through our Learning Islands mobile application software (“App”), which can be downloaded or streamed onto your mobile telephone or handheld device, or used through our site www.learningislands.com  (“Website”) (together, the “Platform”).

We are committed to keeping your and your child’s Personal Data private and secure. We only collect and process Personal Data from you or your child in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Please read the following carefully to understand our practices and how we will treat your and your child’s Personal Data.

You must be at least 18 years old to register on our Platform (including our App and Website). If you are under 18 years old, you are not permitted to register unless such registration is completed by your parent or legal guardian. Your continued access to, and use of the Platform, constitutes your acceptance to be legally bound by this Privacy policy. If you do not agree with it, you shall not access, or use, the Platform in any way.

Personal Data

PDPA defines ‘Personal Data’ as any “information, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified – (a). from that data; or (b) from that data and other information to which the organisation has or is likely to have access”.

Children’s data

We need to collect you and your child’s Personal Data to provide our services to you and your child. For the purposes of this document, any individual with age below 18 years old is assumed to be a child (“Child”), and their access and use of the Platform and Services require consent from parents or a legal guardian.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and you believe that your Child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact our Data Protection Officer whose contact details are set out below in this policy. We will dispose of that data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Parents can always refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Data, request to review their Child’s Personal Data, or request that we delete them from our records. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a termination of an account, membership, or other service, as the nature of our services requires collection of Personal Data about you and your Child. To exercise any of these options, please contact our Data Protection Officer whose contact details are set out below in this policy. Please be aware that to protect children’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify a parent or legal guardian’s identity before granting access to any Child’s Personal Data.
