Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Summit Spelling is operated by EduVenturing (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a sole proprietorship. Our primary contact for privacy matters is eduventuring@gmail.com.

Summit Spelling is a web-based speech-to-print spelling program used by parents and teachers with children ages approximately 7–14. Our service is located at summitspelling.com and any successor domains.

2. Children's Privacy — COPPA Compliance

Summit Spelling is not directed to children under 13and does not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts directly. All accounts are created by parents, guardians, or teachers (adults 18+) on behalf of children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506.

Parental consent: By creating a student profile, the adult account holder provides verifiable parental consent under COPPA for the collection of educational data described above. Student data is used solely to deliver the Summit Spelling educational program — never for advertising, profiling, or sale.

Parental rights:Parents and guardians may at any time: (a) review the personal information collected about their child; (b) request corrections; (c) request deletion of their child's data. Contact us at eduventuring@gmail.com to exercise these rights. We will respond within 10 business days.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without proper parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

3. Information We Collect from Adults

Usage data: We log which features are used, pages visited, and session timestamps for the purpose of diagnosing technical issues and improving the service. This data is not linked to advertising profiles.
