Privacy, if you are under 13
What we keep about you, who can see it, and how long we keep it. Short and true.

Profiles for younger readers are not open on Readeroom yet. This page says how they will work, so a parent can read it first.
The grown-up who made your profile can see what you read: the books and pages on your shelf, where each one came from, how far you got and how long you read. They can see your level and your gates. They can see anything the settings stopped, and why.
They cannot see your notes, your highlights or the words you look up.
Your grown-up chooses what is blocked — some websites, some kinds of pages, some words. We check everything you add, and everything you open, on our own computers. If something is blocked, you can ask them to allow it.
Nobody else can see any of it. We do not give it to anyone. We do not show you adverts. We do not use voices that send your book somewhere else to be read out.
We keep it while your profile is there. If you do not read for 24 months, we delete your profile and everything in it. Once a year we ask your grown-up if you still read here. What the settings stopped is kept for 90 days, then deleted.
Your grown-up can delete your profile at any time. Then it is gone. Our spare copies are gone within 30 days too.
In your own settings there is a page called “What … can see”. It lists everything your grown-up sees, and every limit they set. If you think a limit is wrong, there is a button there that tells them.
The full version of this page, for grown-ups, is here.
