Scratch understands how important privacy is to our
|
||
community, especially kids and parents. We wrote this
|
||
Privacy Policy to explain what information we collect
|
||
through our website (scratch.mit.edu) (the "Site"),
|
||
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 information, and how you can{' '}
|
||
<a href="/contact-us">contact us</a> if you have any
|
||
questions or concerns.

<p className="callout">

If you would like to build projects with Scratch without
|

submitting any Personal Information to us, you can download
|

the <a href="/download">Scratch Offline Editor</a>. Projects

created in the <a href="/download">Scratch Offline Editor</a>
|
||
{' '}are not accessible by the Scratch Team, and using the
|

offline editor does not disclose any personally identifying

information to Scratch unless you upload these projects to

<h3>What personal information does the Scratch Team collect about me?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “Personal
|
||
Information” means any information relating to an
|
||
identified or identifiable individual. We obtain
|
||
Personal Information relating to you from various
|
||
sources described below.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must
|
||
provide us with your Personal Information, as well as
|
||
the consequences of failing to do so. If you do not
|
||
provide Personal Information when requested, you may not
|
||
be able to benefit from our Site if that information is
|
||
necessary to provide you with the service or if we are
|
||
legally required to collect the information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<dt>Account Information</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
In order to share projects, create studios, or post
|
||
comments, you need to make an account. During account
|
||
creation, we ask you for a username, your country, birth
|
||
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
|
||
could identify you. Other users can see your username
|
||
and country, but not your age, gender, or email address.
|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dt>User-generated Content</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
We collect any information that you provide to us when
|

you create Scratch projects (including unshared
|
||
projects), write comments, or post on our forums.
|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dt>Communications</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
If you contact us directly, we may receive additional
|
||
information about you. For example, when you contact our
|
||
Customer Support Team, we may receive your name, email
|
||
address, phone number, the contents of a message or
|
||
attachments that you may send to us, and other
|
||
information you choose to provide.

Personal Information We Collect Automatically From Your

<dd>
|
||
When you use Scratch, we and our third-party service
|
||
providers collect information about you and your device
|
||
through automated means, such as cookies and web server
|
||
logs. By using Scratch, you consent to the placement of
|
||
cookies and similar technologies in your browser in
|
||
accordance with this Privacy Policy. The information
|
||
collected in this manner includes your IP address,
|
||
network location, what browser you are using, device IDs
|
||
and characteristics, operating system version, language
|
||
preferences, referring URLs, and information about the
|
||
usage of our site.
|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
We use this information, for example, to ensure that the
|
||
site functions properly, to determine how many users
|
||
have visited certain pages, or to prevent fraud. We use
|
||
IP address information to derive your approximate
|
||
location. We also work with analytics providers, such
|
||
as Google Analytics, which use cookies and similar
|
||
technologies to collect and analyze information about
|
||
use of the site and report on activities and trends.
|
||
These services may also collect information about the
|
||
use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You
|
||
can learn more about Google’s practices by going to{' '}

|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
If you do not want information collected through the use
|
||
of cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically
|
||
decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or
|
||
accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular
|
||
cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. You may also
|

wish to refer to{' '}

If, however, you do not accept cookies, you may
|

experience some inconvenience in your use of Scratch.

<h3>Data Retention</h3>
|

<p>
|

We take measures to delete your Personal 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-enrolment 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.

<h3>How does the Scratch Team protect my personal information?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Scratch Team has in place administrative, physical, and
|
||
technical procedures that are intended to protect the
|
||
information we collect on the Scratch website against
|
||
accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss,
|
||
unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access,
|
||
misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the
|
||
Personal Information in our possession. For example, we
|
||
use SSL/TLS for all data transfer and strictly limit access
|
||
to the Scratch servers and the data we store on them. 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.

<h3>Notifications of changes to the Privacy Policy</h3>

We review our security measures and Privacy Policy on a
|
||
periodic basis, and we may modify our policies as
|
||
appropriate. If we make material changes, we will notify you
|
||
through the Site or by sending you an email or other
|
||
communication. 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 Site following these

changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
