Khan Academy Kids

"We may share information with our trusted vendors, third party service providers, and individuals to provide services or products for us or on our behalf, which may include hosting, email delivery, and business administration or professional services. We may share information with other companies in the Khan Academy group of companies, including any subsidiaries, parent company and its subsidiaries. These companies may use your information as described in this Privacy Policy."

Personal information is shared with an unspecified number of vendors, service providers, and Khan Academy affiliate companies, giving users limited visibility into who actually accesses their data.

"We may modify or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time and will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the revised Privacy Policy with an updated date of revision on our website. If we change this Policy in a material manner, we will do our best to notify you of the changes by posting a notice on our website. Your continued use of the App following the effective date of such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy."

Khan Academy can change the privacy policy at any time, and continued use of the app is treated as acceptance of the new terms — with only a best-effort commitment to notify users of material changes.

"Unless we receive a deletion request, we will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as is reasonably useful for operational purposes. We may not be able to delete information in all instances, such as information retained in technical support logs and other business records. We may retain information which has been de-identified or disassociated with personal identifiers such that it can no longer be used to reasonably identify a particular individual."

Data is retained indefinitely unless the user explicitly requests deletion, and even then Khan Academy reserves the right to keep information in logs, business records, or in de-identified form with no specified timeline.

"When you click on our email to verify your email address, we will collect your IP address and approximate location at the city or zip code level where you verified the email address. When you create an account, we will collect your IP address and approximate location at the city or zip code level."

Khan Academy collects approximate geolocation (city/zip code level) via IP address during account creation and email verification, which is notable for a children's educational app.

"Please contact us here to update or delete your personal information. We may not be able to delete information in all instances, such as information retained in technical support logs and other business records. A parent should contact us here to permanently delete the child's information from our systems."

There is no self-service account or data deletion option — users must contact Khan Academy directly, and even then deletion is not guaranteed for all data.

"We associate this information with an internal account ID we assign to you for our internal purposes, including, for example, to help us recognize you across devices you use to access the App and personalize your experience based on your last App use. We may also collect other information from your device(s) or from the app store through which you downloaded the Khan Academy Kids app. This includes information of additional devices linked to your account, including any device(s) your child uses to access Khan Academy Kids."

Khan Academy tracks users across multiple devices using an internal account ID, collecting device information from all devices linked to an account including children's devices.

"We may collect information about the device(s) you, and the children accessing our App through your account, use to access the App (e.g., mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, preferred language). We may collect analytics data to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the App and to understand more about the demographics of our users."

The app collects detailed device metadata including mobile carrier, device type, model, manufacturer, and OS details from both parent and child devices — more than what's strictly needed for an educational app.
