<p>
|

We understand how important privacy is to our community, especially children and their parents. We wrote
|
||||
this privacy policy to explain what information we collect through the Scratch application (the
|
||||
“App”), how we use it, and what we're doing to keep it safe. If you have any questions

The Scratch Foundation (“Scratch”, “we” or “us”) understands how
|
||||
important privacy is to our community. We wrote this Privacy Policy to explain what Personal Information
|
||||
(“Information”) we collect through our offline editor (the “<a
|
||||
href="https://scratch.mit.edu/download"
|
||||
target="_blank"
|
||||
rel="noopener noreferrer"
|
||||
>Scratch App</a>”), how we use, process, and share it, and what we're doing to keep it safe. It
|

also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Information, and how you can <a

<h2>What information does the App collect?</h2>
|
||||
<h2>What Information Does Scratch Collect About Me?</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Scratch Team is always looking to better understand how Scratch is used around the world. To help
|
||||
support this effort, Scratch only collects anonymous usage information from the Scratch App. This
|
||||
information does not include any Personal Information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal
|
||||
Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.
|
||||
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Information” means any information relating to an
|
||||
identified or identifiable individual. The Scratch App automatically collects and stores locally the
|
||||
following Information through its telemetry system: the title of your project in text form, language
|
||||
setting, time zone and events related to your use of the Scratch App (namely when the Scratch App was
|
||||
opened and closed, if a project file has been loaded or saved, or if a new project is created). If you
|
||||
choose to turn on the telemetry sharing feature, the Scratch App will transmit this information to Scratch.
|
||||
Projects created in the Scratch App are not transmitted to or accessible by Scratch.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The anonymous usage information we collect includes data about what parts of the app you use and basic
|
||||
information about your network that allows us to roughly estimate what part of the world you are located
|
||||
in. We also may collect general information about the device that you are using, such as make, model,
|
||||
operating system and screen resolution. We do not collect device identifiers, such as advertising IDs, MAC
|
||||
addresses, or IP addresses. We do not associate any of this information with an identified or identifiable
|
||||
individual.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>How does the Scratch Team use the information it collects?</h2>
|
||||
<h2>How Does Scratch Use My Information?</h2>
|
||||
<p>We use this Information for the following purposes:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
We may use anonymous usage information in research studies intended to improve our understanding of how
|
||||
people learn with Scratch. The results of this research are shared with educators and researchers
|
||||
through conferences, journals, and other publications.
|
||||
<b>Analytics and Improving the Scratch App</b> - We use the Information to analyze use of the Scratch
|
||||
App and to enhance your learning experience on the Scratch App.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
We analyze the information to understand and improve Scratch, such as determining which elements are
|
||||
most used and how long users spend in the app.
|
||||
<b>Academic and Scientific Research</b> - We de-identify and aggregate Information for statistical
|
||||
analysis in the context of scientific and academic research. For example, to help us understand how
|
||||
people learn through the Scratch App and how we can enhance learning tools for young people. The
|
||||
results of such research are shared with educators and researchers through conferences, journals, and
|
||||
other academic or scientific publications. You can find out more on our <a
|
||||
href="https://scratch.mit.edu/research"
|
||||

|
||||
rel="noopener noreferrer"
|
||||
>Research page</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
We will never share anonymous usage data with any other person, company, or organization, except:
|
||||
<b>Legal</b> - We may use your Information to enforce our <a
|
||||
href="https://scratch.mit.edu/terms_of_use"
|
||||
target="_blank"
|
||||
rel="noopener noreferrer"
|
||||
>Terms of Use</a>, to defend our legal rights, and to comply with our legal obligations and internal
|
||||
policies. We may do this by analyzing your use of the Scratch App.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2>What Are The Legal Grounds For Processing Your Information?</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we only process your
|
||||
Information based on a valid legal ground. A “legal ground” is a reason that justifies our use
|
||||
of your Information. In this case, we or a third party have a legitimate interest in using your Information
|
||||
(if you choose to allow the Scratch App to send the Scratch team your Information) to create, analyze and
|
||||
share your aggregated or de-identified Information for research purposes, to analyze and enhance your
|
||||
learning experience on the Scratch App and otherwise ensure and improve the safety, security, and
|
||||
performance of the Scratch App. We only rely on our or a third party’s legitimate interests to process your
|
||||
Information when these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>How Does Scratch Share My Information?</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We disclose information that we collect through the Scratch App to third parties in the following
|
||||
circumstances:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
As required to comply with our obligations under the law
|
||||
<b>Service Providers</b> - To third parties who provide services such as website hosting, data
|
||||
analysis, Information technology and related infrastructure provisions, customer service, email
|
||||
delivery, and other services.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
For technical reasons, if we are required to transfer the data on our servers to another
|
||||
location or organization
|
||||
<b>Academic and Scientific Research</b> - To research institutions, such as the Massachusetts Institute
|
||||
of Technology (MIT), to learn about how our users learn through the Scratch App and develop new
|
||||
learning tools. The results of this research or the statistical analysis may be shared through
|
||||
conferences, journals, and other publications.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Merger</b> - To a potential or actual acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any
|
||||
reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any
|
||||
portion of our organization or assets. You will have the opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if
|
||||
the new entity's planned processing of your Information differs materially from that set forth in
|
||||
this Privacy Policy.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Legal</b> - If required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is appropriate:
|
||||
(a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal
|
||||
process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities, such as school, school
|
||||
districts, and law enforcement, including public and government authorities outside your country of
|
||||
residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of
|
||||
our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates,
|
||||
you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may
|
||||
sustain.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2>Children and Student Privacy</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Scratch Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, the Children's Online Privacy
|
||||
Protection Act (COPPA) does not apply to Scratch. Nevertheless, Scratch takes children's privacy
|
||||
seriously. Scratch collects only minimal information from its users, and only uses and discloses
|
||||
information to provide the services and for limited other purposes, such as research, as described in this
|
||||
Privacy Policy.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Scratch does not collect information from a student's education record, as defined by the Family
|
||||
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Scratch does not disclose information of students to any third
|
||||
parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>Your Data Protection Rights (EEA)</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have certain
|
||||
rights in relation to your Information:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Access, Correction and Data Portability</b> - You may ask for an overview of the Information we
|
||||
process about you and to receive a copy of your Information. You also have the right to request to
|
||||
correct incomplete, inaccurate or outdated Information. To the extent required by applicable law, you
|
||||
may request us to provide your Information to another company.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Objection</b> – You may object to (this means “ask us to stop”) any use of your
|
||||
Information that is not (i) processed to comply with a legal obligation, (ii) necessary to do what is
|
||||
provided in a contract between Scratch and you, or (iii) if we have a compelling reason to do so (such
|
||||
as, to ensure safety and security in our online community). If you do object, we will work with you to
|
||||
find a reasonable solution.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Deletion</b> - You may also request the deletion of your Information, as permitted under applicable
|
||||
law. This applies, for instance, where your Information is outdated or the processing is not necessary
|
||||
or is unlawful; where you withdraw your consent to our processing based on such consent; or where you
|
||||
have objected to our processing. In some situations, we may need to retain your Information due to
|
||||
legal obligations or for litigation purposes. If you want to have all of your Information removed from
|
||||
our servers, please contact <a
|
||||
href="mailto:help@scratch.mit.edu"
|
||||
target="_blank"
|
||||
rel="noopener noreferrer"
|
||||
>help@scratch.mit.edu</a> for assistance.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Restriction Of Processing</b> - You may request that we restrict processing of your Information
|
||||
while we are processing a request relating to (i) the accuracy of your Information, (ii) the lawfulness
|
||||
of the processing of your Information, or (iii) our legitimate interests to process this Information.
|
||||
You may also request that we restrict processing of your Information if you wish to use the Information
|
||||
for litigation purposes.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<b>Withdrawal Of Consent</b> – Where we rely on consent for the processing of your Information, you
|
||||
have the right to withdraw it at any time and free of charge. When you do so, this will not affect the
|
||||
lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In addition to the above-mentioned rights, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent
|
||||
supervisory authority subject to applicable law. However, there are exceptions and limitations to each of
|
||||
these rights. We may, for example, refuse to act on a request if the request is manifestly unfounded or
|
||||
excessive, or if the request is likely to adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, prejudice the
|
||||
execution or enforcement of the law, interfere with pending or future litigation, or infringe applicable
|
||||
law. To submit a request to exercise your rights, please contact <a
|
||||

target="_blank"
|

>help@scratch.mit.edu</a> for assistance.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>Data Retention</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We take measures to delete your Information or keep it in a form that does not allow you to be identified
|
||||
when this Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are
|
||||
required by law to keep this Information for a longer period. When determining the retention period, we
|
||||
take into account various criteria, such as the type of services requested by or provided to you, the
|
||||
nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our services, the impact on the
|
||||
services we provide to you if we delete some Information from or about you, mandatory retention periods
|
||||
provided by law and the statute of limitations.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>How Does Scratch Protect My Information?</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Scratch has in place administrative, physical, and technical procedures that are intended to protect the
|
||||
Information we collect on the Scratch App against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss,
|
||||
unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of
|
||||
processing of the Information. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is
|
||||
impenetrable. We cannot completely guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the
|
||||
Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>International Data Transfer</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We may transfer your Information to countries other than the country where you are located, including to
|
||||
the U.S. (where our Scratch servers are located) or any other country in which we or our service providers
|
||||
maintain facilities. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland,
|
||||
or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note
|
||||
that we may transfer your Information to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data
|
||||
protection laws as your jurisdiction. We apply appropriate safeguards to the Information processed and
|
||||
transferred on our behalf. Please contact us for more information on the safeguards used.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>Notifications Of Changes To The Privacy Policy</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We review our Privacy Policy on a periodic basis, and we may modify our policies as appropriate. We will
|
||||
notify you of any material changes. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy on a regular basis. The
|
||||
“Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last
|
||||
revised. Your continued use of the Scratch App following these changes means that you accept the revised
|
||||
Privacy Policy.
