- to keep it safe. It also tells you about your rights and

- contact us if you have any
- questions or concerns.
+
- If you would like to build projects with Scratch without
- submitting any Personal Information to us, you can download
- the Scratch Offline Editor. Projects
- created in the Scratch Offline Editor
- {' '}are not accessible by the Scratch Team, and using the

- the Scratch online community.

- month and year, gender, and your email address (or your
- parent or guardian's email address if you are under
- 16 years old). We ask that you select a username that does
- not disclose your real name or other information that
