Information we collect from parents

To become a Clever Dragons member, a parent must register for a parent and child account. The parent is required to provide the following information:
  • Parent’s first and last name, email address, and a password for the parent account. These are required both to fulfill legal requirements for children’s sites and our contractual obligations to you.

  • Child’s first name and first initial of last name, plus a password for his account. This becomes the child’s login identifier and also how the child is known by other members on the site. You may, if you prefer, choose an alternate name as long as the child can remember it.

  • Further, the parent is required to make a payment through a third-party payment service; however, Miaplaza Inc (aka, Clever Dragons) never receives this credit card information. The payment is required to verify adult status and establish the parent’s identity and is required to meet laws of the United States of America.

Information we collect from children

When a user’s associated parent email is verified, that user may optionally provide his own email address. This email address may be used to notify him of pending, pre-monitored messages or of new offerings on the site. He is also offered the option to share his birthdate, which allows customization of his experience on Clever Dragons. Note: These options are not available to European members due to European privacy regulatory requirements.

The boy may also provide information about himself in the child’s Profile section, such as his favorite color and what he’s doing now. Parts of this Profile are viewable by all users, while certain sections can only be seen by the boy’s online friends. As noted below, these information postings are pre-moderated for appropriateness.

Clever Dragons does not condition a child’s participation in an activity on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate.

Clever Dragons Friends:

Boys want to connect with friends and it's important for building social skills; thus, we want to encourage social interaction, but we want it to be in a safer setting than is typical for the Internet.

Boys can become friends on Clever Dragons by inviting each other to start a friendship.

All communication between members, also between friends, is reviewed by a site moderator (i.e., pre-moderated) before it can be read by the intended recipients to prevent inappropriate commentary and divulging of personal information.

Other information we collect: Cookies, log files and entry/exit URLs

Like most web sites, Clever Dragons uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer that allows Clever Dragons to recognize you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our website. Like the information you enter at registration or in your Profile settings, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the web site. We require session cookies and log file data to meet our contractual obligations to members.

Clever Dragons uses what is called a "session" cookie, which identifies a particular visit to the Clever Dragons site. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser.

In addition, if you enable the automatic login feature, a "persistent" cookie stays on your computer between sessions to allow Clever Dragons to recognize your user account the next time you visit. This cookie is removed if you turn off this automatic login or if you switch users. At this time Clever Dragons does not use other "persistent" cookies.

Due to the communication standards on the Internet, when you visit the Clever Dragons web site we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave Clever Dragons. We also receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the Clever Dragons service, but is not linked to personally identifiable information in any way.

Third party service providers

Clever Dragons collects certain types of information to operate and improve our service to you and other users. We use third parties Google Analytics and FullStory to gather data on how many visits are made to Clever Dragons pages, what paths are taken by members to get to Clever Dragons, which browsers are used most, and other statistics. Miaplaza, Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected through the use of these third-party services and does not share user data.

Clever Dragons uses Google Fonts, which can lead to Google receiving your IP address. Google’s policy is to not retain these for children’s pages. For more information about Google Fonts and their terms of service, click here and here.

Vimeo.com hosts videos for our site. Vimeo does not receive, retain, share, or store any personally identifiable information of our users. For more information about Vimeo please see their privacy policy here.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to any third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally identifiable information with third parties to carry out your instructions and to provide specific services. For instance, we use a payment and credit card processing company to bill users for subscription fees. We also use third party software development firms and server hosting services. For more information on the third parties we work with, please email us at securityofficer @ miaplaza.com.

How we use this information

We transfer Information and Personally Identifiable Information between Europe and the United States. By visiting our Web site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be processed for the purposes identified in this policy. In addition, such data may be stored on servers located outside your resident jurisdiction, which may have less stringent privacy practices than your own jurisdiction. Please note that Clever Dragons’ own policies adhere to all requirements of the United States for its users from the USA. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law. We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on our company or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Clever Dragons Communications

Clever Dragons will communicate with you through email and notices posted on this website. These include occasional emails to inform you about various features of the service.

Customized Content

Information you provide at registration or in your Account Management section is also used to customize your experience on the web site. For example, the learning games and teaching videos that are offered to users depend on the grade range settings chosen by the parent.

How to update or delete/remove your information

You can review the personal information you provided us about yourself or your child and make any desired changes to the information, or to the settings for your Clever Dragons account, at any time by logging in to your account on the Clever Dragons website and editing the account and profile information. To request data deletion of your or your child's account and information, please send your request to dataofficer @ miaplaza.com and we will take care of it.

You will receive a response to requests sent to us within five business days of our receiving it.

Content retention

There are four main types of data retained by Miaplaza:

  • Digital objects and messages shared with other members

  • Logs of user activities on the site 

  • Records of parents’ financial transactions with Miaplaza. No credit card data is stored and payments are handled by a third party service provider.
This data is retained as long as reasonable to provide our services to you.

If a user requests account deletion, then their profile and associated data is deleted from our records within 20 business days.

Links out

We may include links to third parties from the website or services. Clever Dragons isn’t responsible for these companies and because we have a link doesn’t mean we endorse them. Your use of our services maybe subject to the terms and conditions, terms of service and privacy policies of other services that we don’t control such as mobile app stores, mobile software platforms or payment processors. Please be sure to check their privacy policies if you decide to visit them.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
