Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 15, 2025

At IQ for Kids (iqforkids.com), we understand that privacy is especially important to families using educational platforms for children. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of all our users—especially children—by providing a learning environment that is safe, transparent, and respectful of your data. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language how we collect, use, and safeguard information, and how you can exercise your rights as a parent or guardian. Our practices are designed to comply with all applicable privacy laws, including the Children\'s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and, where relevant, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Your family's privacy matters. We never require personal information from children to access our IQ tests, games, or educational resources. All content is reviewed for age-appropriateness and safety.

1. Information We Collect

Non-Personal Information: We automatically collect limited technical information about your device and visit, such as browser type, IP address, pages viewed, and referring URL. This information is used for analytics, site security, and improving your experience.
Personal Information: We do not require users to provide personal information to use our core educational content, games, or IQ tests. We do not allow account registration or direct communication for children under 13.
Email Communications: If you contact us by email (e.g., for parent/guardian inquiries), we may retain your message and address solely to respond to your inquiry.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance site functionality and for analytics. Some third-party services (such as advertising networks) may also use cookies as described below.

2. Children's Privacy & COPPA Compliance

Our website is designed for children with the involvement of their parents or guardians. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
All interactive elements, including IQ tests and games, do not request names, addresses, or other personal identifiers from children.
If you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at hello@iqforkids.com so we can promptly delete such data.

3. How We Use AdSense & Analytics Tools

Advertising (Google AdSense): To support our free educational content, we may display ads provided by Google AdSense or similar networks. We configure all ad settings with children's privacy as the top priority:
- Personalized ads ("interest-based advertising") are disabled for users identified as children or for content directed at children.
- Only contextual ads are shown, meaning ads are based on page content, not personal user data.
- Google and other ad partners may use cookies or device identifiers to limit ad frequency and report ad performance, but they are required to comply with COPPA and other child privacy laws.
- For more information on Google's child privacy practices, visit Google's AdSense for Children.
Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Google Analytics for Children’s Sites or similar) to understand site usage and improve resources. Personal information is never collected. Data is anonymized and never used to track or target individual children.

4. How Parents Can Exercise Their Privacy Rights

Under COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act): Parents and guardians have the right to:

Review any personal information collected from their child (note: our site is designed to not collect such data from children).
Request deletion of their child’s personal information from our records.
Request that we stop collecting or using a child’s personal information.

Under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, if applicable): Parents and users in the EU/UK may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we may hold (typically only for adult/parent email communication).
To exercise these rights, please email us at hello@iqforkids.com and specify the request. We will respond promptly and comply as required by law.

Practical Privacy Tips for Parents

Use educational sites that are transparent about data use and do not require personal information for games or activities.
Monitor your child’s internet usage and discuss the importance of online privacy together.
Contact site administrators directly if you have questions about privacy or data practices.

5. Use of Information

For analytics and statistical purposes, such as understanding which activities are most popular.

6. Data Security

We follow industry-standard security practices to protect all data collected on our platform.
We do not store sensitive personal information about children on our servers.

7. Advertising & Third-Party Services

AdSense & Third-Party Ads: We may display contextual advertisements provided by Google AdSense or similar networks. These ad partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve relevant ads. See Google\'s Ad Policies for details. All ad settings are configured to protect children’s privacy and comply with COPPA.
Examples of ads may include educational books, learning tools, toys, or family services. We do not allow ads that are inappropriate for children or that request personal information.
Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to monitor site usage. No personal information is collected through these tools.
External Links: Our website may link to educational resources, children’s organizations, museums, reputable learning platforms, and other trusted sites outside our control.
Examples: National Association for Gifted Children, major science museums, or trusted learning games. We do not link to sites that request personal info from children, display unsafe ads, or have unclear privacy practices. Look for the symbol or a note that a link opens in a new tab for third-party sites.

8. Data Retention

We retain non-personal analytics data only as long as necessary for educational or legal purposes.
Email correspondence is deleted after resolving the inquiry, unless otherwise required by law.
