Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Beads to Brilliance ("B2B", "we", "us", or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data and the data of your children. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard personal information when you visit our website, use our student portals, or enroll in our abacus programs.

This policy complies with applicable United States privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

2. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Because our services are designed for children (typically ages 4-13), we strictly adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

• Account Creation: All accounts must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian.
• Data Collection from Children: The only data collected directly through the child's use of the portal is performance metrics (e.g., test scores, time taken to complete exercises), which is linked to the parent's account.
• Parental Rights: Parents may review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's information by contacting us directly.

3. Data We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked to you ("Personal Information"). The categories we may collect include:

• Identifiers: Parent's name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. Child's first name, age, and grade level.
• Financial Data: Payment card details and billing information (processed securely through our third-party payment processors like Stripe; we do not store full credit card numbers).
• Internet / Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and interactions with our application (e.g., via cookies).
• Educational Data: Assessment results, progress reports, and attendance records associated with the child's account.

4. How We Use and Share Your Information

We use the collected information for evaluating performance, providing localized customer service, processing transactions, and improving our educational portal. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processors) exclusively for the purpose of operating our services. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the specific pieces and categories of personal info we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You can request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Correct: You can request correction of inaccurate personal datasets.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@beadstobrilliance.com.

6. Security Measures

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, secure database architectures, and authenticated routing, to protect your personal and educational data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
