Children's
Privacy and Information from
Parents and Legal
Guardians
We believe
that protecting the
privacy of children is very important.
In accordance with the Children's
Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do
not knowingly collect any personal
information from children under the
age of 13. If we discover we have
received
any information from a child under the
age of 13 in violation of this policy
and without first receiving verifiable
parental consent, we will delete that
information immediately.
If you submit
any Personal
Information relating to other people
to First Student or your school
district,
you represent and warrant that you
have the authority to do so and have
obtained all necessary consents to
permit us to use the information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy
statement. For example, if you are the
legal guardian or foster parent of a
child and you provide Personal
Information
about a child in your care, you
warrant and represent to us that you
have
authority to disclose this child’s
Personal Information to us.

contractually restricted from using

any
manner other than in helping First

and
services available from First Student
and trusted third parties. First
Student
will also disclose your Personal
Information when it believes it is
