However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy
Reading Jar is designed for children, but account creation must be done by a parent or guardian.
We comply with applicable laws regarding children's privacy, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) where applicable.
We only collect, use, and store children's information necessary to deliver the educational experience and with parental consent.
