How Long We Retain Your Personal Information Quizlet retains your personal information for as long as your account is active, to fulfill our legitimate business purposes, or to comply with our legal obligations or document retention policies. When these conditions no longer exist, Quizlet removes that information in accordance with our standard deletion processes. Quizlet may retain and use non-personal information, including information which has been de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized, indefinitely. We retain records of support tickets and other communications between Quizlet and our users, for example support emails, survey responses, feedback submissions, or comments on our blogs or other posts, indefinitely in order to better manage our support processes, maintain accurate business records, and identify other trends. We reserve the right to publish these communications in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. How We Secure Your Personal Information The security of your personal information is important to us. Quizlet takes measures reasonably designed to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of personal information. We use reasonable efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, the Internet is not 100% secure. We cannot promise that your use of our Services will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet. If you have any questions about the security of our Services, you can contact us at security@quizlet.com. Third-Party Websites or Platforms We may direct you to, or provide you with an option to, visit third-party websites or platforms. Third-party platforms operate independently from us and we are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit to those platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of the third-party platforms that you interact with as they will govern your interactions with those platforms. Children's Privacy While Quizlet is intended for users age 13 and over, if a child requests access to our Services we accommodate them by offering a limited feature set and restricted experience that removes certain features. We offer this restricted experience (“Child Account”) for accounts of all users below the age of 13 and for some users below the age of 16 where applicable under local law. To create a Child Account, Quizlet will collect the user’s date of birth, username and parent's email address, and account password. We collect a parent’s email address from a child under the age of 13 if they attempt to register in order to notify the parent of their child's use of Quizlet and to seek parental consent for the use of the child's personal information. Once the Child Account is created, a child may upload information to the Services (with a parent or guardian's consent). We will also collect information about how and when the child uses our Services, including the device used to connect to our Services, their operating system version, their IP address and device identifier, and the frequency, timing, and duration of their usage. We collect the above information when a child creates a profile for our Services and then uses our various products and features. This information is used to make the Services operational and for other internal business purposes (e.g., ensuring security of the Services). We may disclose or distribute information from Child Accounts as described in this section and this Privacy Policy, including with parents in order to provide notice of use and gather parental consent, with third parties to support internal operations, and to provide the restricted experience on the Service to the Child Account. We do not condition a child's participation or access to any activity on Quizlet on the child providing any more information than is reasonably necessary for that activity. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis, marketing and other commercial purposes. Service Providers We work with the following service providers to help us improve our services and understand how they are used. Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our sites and services. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. It briefly processes an IP address to derive approximate geographic location, such as city and country, then discards it. Google Analytics uses anonymous identifiers rather than personally identifying information in its reports. Crashlytics: We use Crashlytics to track and report any app crashes or issues. This helps us make sure our apps run correctly. Crashlytics does not collect any personal data. Firebase: For our mobile app, we use Firebase services to monitor performance, track usage and fix issues. Firebase helps us ensure the Services work as intended. Firebase may temporarily process IP addresses to provide these services, including to derive approximate geographic location. IP retention periods vary by service but are limited to what is needed to provide the Services. Snowplow: We use Snowplow for internal analytics. Snowplow collects page views and sessions to validate time on Quizlet for internal reporting and metrics purposes. Snowplow does not collect personal information. This information is not used to contact you, to build a profile or to serve interest-based targeted advertising to children. If you have any questions about our use of service providers in relation to children, please contact us at support@quizlet.com. Parental Rights Parents and legal guardians of children under 13 must consent to the collection and use of a child's personal information in connection with a Child Account. Parents may review, edit or delete their Child Account's content or account at any time by signing into the child's account. A parent may request deletion, updates, restrictions, or corrections to a Child Account's registration information by contacting support@quizlet.com. Quizlet may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of a parent or guardian before responding to a request to review or delete a child's information or a request to refuse further collection from a child. If we make material changes to how we collect and use personal information from children under the age of consent, we will notify parents by email and, when appropriate, obtain additional parental consent for the new uses of the child's personal information.

California consumers also have the right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information by the business if such information is used or disclosed for certain purposes, as required by the CCPA.

To protect the privacy and security of consumers' information, we require a verifiable consumer request (except for requests to opt out of sales and sharing) to allow us to reasonably verify your identity and properly understand and respond to it. Please note that the CCPA provides certain limitations and exceptions to the above rights, which may result in us denying or limiting our response to your request. Our Commitment Not to Discriminate Consistent with the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
