We are continuously improving our websites and Services using various third-party web analytics tools, which help us understand how visitors use our websites, desktop tools, and mobile applications, what they like and dislike, and where they may have problems. While we maintain ownership of this data, we do not share this type of data about individual users with third parties. We use the following web site technologies:
- Geolocation and Other Data: We may utilise precise Geolocation data but only if you specifically opt-in to collection of that data in connection with a particular service. We also use information such as IP addresses to determine the general geographic locations areas of our visitors. The web beacons used in conjunction with these web analytics tools may gather data such as what browser or operating system a person uses, as well as, domain names, MIME types, and what content, products and services are reviewed or downloaded when visiting or registering for services at one of our websites or using one of our mobile applications.
- Google Analytics and Marketing Cloud: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics on websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser. We also employ IP address masking, a technique used to truncate IP addresses collected by Google Analytics and store them in an abbreviated form to prevent them from being traced back to individual users.
- We also use Tracking Technologies: we and our partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track user traffic patterns and hold certain registration information. Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyse our service. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM CHILDREN, HOW WE USE IT
Our site and applications like Valarea may collect information from children. Parental consent will be collected by the Education body that uses our app as a teaching resource. In any instance that we collect personal information from a child, we will retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the activity request or allow the child to continue to participate in the activity and ensure the security of our users and our services, or as required by law. In the event we discover we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with GDPR requirements, we will either delete the information or immediately seek the parent’s consent for that collection.
We will not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an online activity. All children and students will register through their education board’s purchased licence to access and participate in remote learning.
