Children’s Privacy Policy

Children’s online safety is important to us and we take measures to protect the Personal Information of children. This section explains our policies with respect to children, the Information we collect about them, and how we use that Information, as well as your rights as a parent.

Our Policy for Children Accessing the Service

A child may join the Service through an email invitation or private group code from his or her teacher or school requesting that the child to join a classroom or school group (a “Community”).

Under our Terms of Service, the teacher or school must agree to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) and obtain verifiable parental consent prior to sending the invitation to the child. Our Terms of Service prohibit any other users (e.g. coaches or league administrators) from inviting children to join the Service. A child cannot connect with other users unless he or she receives an invitation from a teacher or school.

Information We Collect from Children

When a child creates an account through accepting the email invitation, the child will be asked to provide his or her first and last name, email address, and home zip code.

The Service has a conversation feed feature that allows children to post content, including text and pictures, on a message board for their school or classroom Community. Information posted via a conversation feed is visible to other students, as well as teachers and parents in the Community. We also offer an inbox feature that works like a personal email account within the Service. Through the inbox feature, children can send and receive email communications with teacher and school administrator users in the Community. The child cannot interact with users outside of their Community via the Service. We do not monitor the conversation feed or inbox features.

We may also passively collect aggregated Blind Data (defined above) about children, but this Blind Data does not contain Personal Information or otherwise enable others to personally identify children.

We only use Personal Information we collect from children to enable or enhance use of the Service, to provide certain features and for other internal purposes. We do not share Personal Information that we collect from children with any third parties.

Your Rights as a Parent

As a parent, you have the right to review your child’s Personal Information, have the Personal Information deleted and to withdraw your consent to any further collection of your child’s Personal Information by contacting us. Additionally, if you notify us that your child’s teacher or school did not obtain your consent prior to inviting your child to join the Service, or if you notify us that you wish to withdraw your consent, we will immediately suspend your child’s account and, within seven days of your notice, terminate your child’s account and delete all Personal Information obtained from your child.

We cannot condition your child’s participation in any activity or feature of the Service on the child providing more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary for the activity or feature.

Our Rights Regarding Users

Under our Terms of Service, we reserve the right to restrict, modify, or terminate any user’s access to the Service. Although we do not monitor the content provided by users, if we receive information that a user is bullying or harassing another person through the Service, we may suspend or terminate their access to the Service.

Your Consent to this Privacy Policy

By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version.

We may change this Privacy Policy by posting a new version of this Privacy Policy on our website or through the Service, and it is your responsibility to review this policy periodically. When we do change the policy, we will also revise the “last updated” date at the Privacy Policy and may notify you or post a message on the Website and/or through the Service. Your continued use of the

Service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.

Livingtree Engage Terms and Conditions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CHILDREN: If you are under 18 years old (or otherwise not of legal age to enter into a contract) you must review this Agreement with your parent or guardian. Make sure that you and your parent or guardian understands this Agreement and that they agree to it for you before you use LivingTree or provide information to us. If your parent or guardian does not agree to this Agreement, you may not use LivingTree. You should always get an adult’s permission before using the Internet.

LivingTree is a proprietary service (as it may be updated from time to time, the “Service”) offered by Snowflake Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a “LivingTree” (“LivingTree,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) that is designed to help parents and legal guardians (“Parents”), schools and teachers (collectively “School Admins”), and coaches and team, league and other activity administrators (“Activity Admins”) make the experience of raising young children more memorable, and less chaotic. The Service is also designed to enable student users (“Students”) to connect and engage with other Students in their class or school and with School Admins. Parents, Students, School Admins and Activity Admins are all “Users” hereunder. Some Users may use the Service in the capacity as one or several of those User types.

Your Acceptance Of This Agreement and its Application to You.

Before we can permit use of the Service, it is important to us that we have a common understanding concerning the terms and conditions that govern such use. This document and the documents that we incorporate by making reference to them here, like our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”), together set forth and establish our common understanding about your use of the Service (together, the “Agreement”). By clicking the “I AGREE” button or using the Service, you (“you”) agree, effective as of such date (the “Effective Date”) to be bound by this Agreement. Our Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and consent to the practices concerning data collection, transmission and use set forth therein. You are only authorized to use the Service if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and this Agreement as it applies to you. Please read this Agreement carefully and save it. If you do not agree with it, you should discontinue use of the Service immediately.

Acknowledgment.

In your capacity as a Parent, School Admin or Activity Admin, you may be invited to join classes, schools, teams, leagues and other groups (or, if you are a Student, you may be invited to join classes or schools) (each a “Community”) created within the Service by other Users. You acknowledge that the way our Communities are organized and administered, the Users that have included you within the applicable Community, based on a Student’s class/school or the activities of your child(ren), have discretion in monitoring the usage, Content (defined below) and sub-Communities applicable to such

Community, and that these Users, not LivingTree, determine whether and the extent to which you are permitted to continue to participate in such Community. Such Users also have administrative ability to remove Content and sub-Communities from a given Community. You agree that you will not make any claim against LivingTree as a result of the way that any User governs a Community. If you yourself create a Community (whether as a Parent, School Admin or Activity Admin), you will have similar responsibilities and controls, provided that you acknowledge that (a) LivingTree may change the manner in which Communities are administrated at any time, and that (b) if as the creator of a Community you wish to link it as a sub-Community under another Community (e.g. a subset of Students within a class Community or a subset of athletes within a team), you will necessarily give up some control to the User responsible for the superior Community (e.g. the applicable class or team).

Special Terms For Child Users.

For a Student under the age of 13 (a “Child”), a Parent must read this Agreement and give consent before we can allow the Child to use LivingTree. We require School Admins to obtain consent from Parents prior to inviting Children to the applicable Community. Children are not allowed to be Users of LivingTree unless they are Students invited by a School Admin or Teacher that has received the prior consent from Parents. In other words, children under 13 may not join team, league or other activity Communities as Users. To learn about the information we collect from Children and how we use such information, please see our [Children’s Privacy Policy].1

If you believe that a Child’s School Admin did not obtain the consent of a Parent prior to our collection of any personal information of the Child, please contact us immediately at support@livingtree.com. School Admin Acknowledgement. If you are a School Admin or Teacher, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) you will obtain verifiable parental consent from all Parents whose Children you invite to join a LivingTree Community, (b) before obtaining consent, you will provide Parents with a copy of our Privacy Policy, (c) you are solely responsible for compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which, among other things, requires verifiable parental consent for the collection of personal information from children under 13, and (d) you will provide us with a copy of all consents you obtain from Parents upon request.

Other Admin Acknowledgment.

If you are an Admin of an Organization other than a school, you acknowledge and agree that you will not invite children under 13 to join your team, league or other activity Community as a User. Any violation of this section will result in termination of your User account and any Communities you create.

Parent Acknowledgment.

You acknowledge and agree that your acceptance of this Agreement indicates that you agree to this Agreement both on your own behalf as well as on behalf of your Child or Children who use LivingTree. A Child under 13 may not use LivingTree unless a Parent has provided consent to provide information about the Child to the applicable School Admin and the Parent has accepted this 1 Link to Children’s Privacy Policy section of Privacy Policy

Agreement on the Child’s behalf. If your Child has been invited to join a LivingTree Community without your consent, please contact us immediately at support@livingtree.com.

Pixel Tags may be used to collect the same information about Your use of the Website that is collected through cookies, as noted above. Additionally, Livingtree may use pixel tags in emails sent to You to help Livingtree confirm the receipt of, and response to, its emails, the time its emails are viewed, and when and where You “click-through” in an email to the Website. All of this information helps Livingtree to personalize Your experience and improve the Services and emails that Livingtree provides to all of its Users (including You).

Your Submission of Information on the Website

Any personally identifiable information or Content that You Submit on the Website (for example, in Campaigns and other User Submissions made to the Website) becomes available to the public. If You remove such information or Content from the Services, copies of such may nonetheless remain viewable in cached and archived web pages or if other Users have copied or stored Your Content.

How Livingtree Uses Your Information

Livingtree uses the personally identifiable information that You submit to operate, maintain, and provide the Services to You.

By providing Your email address to Livingtree, You consent to Livingtree using the email address to send You communications related to Your use of the Services (including, without limitation, confirmation emails of Sponsorship pledges, notices regarding Changes to the Services, Updates to the Terms of Service and/or this Privacy Policy, and any notices required by applicable law). You may not opt-out of receiving these Service-related communications. Additionally, Livingtree may also use Your email address to send You other communications, including marketing and promotional materials. If You do not want to receive such other communications, You may opt-out by using the “unsubscribe” feature contained therein.

Livingtree uses cookie and pixel tag information to: (i) remember information so that You will not have to re-enter it during Your visit or the next time You visit the Website; (ii) provide custom, personalized Services through the Website to You; (iii) monitor the effectiveness of the Services; (iv) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of Users and Website traffic; (v) diagnose or fix technology problems related to the Services; and (vi) help You efficiently access your User Submissions and other information after You sign in on the Website.

How Livingtree Shares Your Information

Personally Identifiable Information. Except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy, Livingtreewill not sell or lease Your personally identifiable information to third-parties. Livingtree may, however, share Your personally identifiable information with other Users and third-parties (including, without limitation, to third-party payment processors) solely for the purpose of providing the Services to You. If Livingtree does this, such Users’ and third-parties’ use of Your personally identifiable information will be governed by this Privacy Policy. Livingtree may store Your personally identifiable information in locations outside the direct control of Livingtreer (for example, with third-party website hosting providers).

As Livingtree develops its business, Livingtree may sell or transfer all or a portion of its business assets, merge with another company, or engage in a reorganization or other change of control. In such instances, Your personally identifiable information may be one of the business assets sold, transferred or shared; however, it would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Livingtree will not disclose Your personally identifiable information to any third-party unless Livingtree believes, in its sole discretion, that it is reasonable to do so: (i) to comply with applicable laws or legal process or law enforcement requests, or to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (ii) to enforce the Terms of Service, take precautions against liability, investigate and defend against third-party claims or allegations, assist law enforcement agencies, or protect the security or integrity of the Website; and/or (iii) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Livingtree, Users or other third-parties.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Livingtree may share Your non-personally identifiable information (for example, anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns of the Services.

Livingtree may also from time to time allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Website. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to Your web browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Website. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies or pixel tags) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content delivered to You when visiting the Website or other Third-Party Websites. Livingtree will not provide any of Your personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without Your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Livingtree to show an advertisement to a certain audience and You respond to that advertisement, the advertiser may conclude that You fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such third-parties.

How Livingtree Protects Your Information

Livingtree and our third-party service providers use physical, administrative and technical security measures to protect Your personally identifiable information. While Livingtree attempts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, Livingtree cannot and does not guarantee that these measures will stop third-parties (i.e. hackers) from illegally obtaining Your personally identifiable information. Livingtree will not be responsible or liable for any Loss You suffer or incur as a result of any such breach or for the actions of any third parties that obtained any of Your personally identifiable information as a result of such breach. In an effort to protect Your privacy and security, Livingtree take reasonable steps (such as requiring that You have a unique User ID and Password) to verify Your identity before granting You access to Your Account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of Your User ID, Password and other Account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from Livingtree, at all times.

Miscellaneous

Livingtree shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where the failure results from any cause beyond Livingtree’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation. This Agreement is personal to You and may not be, in whole or in part, assigned, transferred, or sublicensed by You except with Livingtree’s prior written consent (which consent Livingtree may withhold in its sole discretion). Livingtree may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without Your consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective against Livingtree unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Livingtree.

This Agreement (including all terms and conditions expressly set forth herein or expressly incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between You and Livingtree with respect to the Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between You and Livingtree with respect to the subject matter hereof.
