Any information stored on Shedthemusic’s platform is treated as confidential. All information is stored securely and is accessed by authorized personnel only.

NOTICE CONCERNING MINORS
Minors (as defined under the laws of THEIR jurisdiction or residence) are not eligible to use these services without the express permission and/or supervision of their parent or guardian. Shedthemusic does not knowingly collect personal information from any minor without parental consent, and we will not use this information if we discover that it has been provided without such consent. Parents and teachers are encouraged to discuss these policies and online safety practices with their children and students.

COPPA
We care about protecting the online privacy of children. We may collect certain information about children ONLY for the purpose of providing our educational services through the Shedthemusic services.

a. Verifiable Consent. Shedthemusic does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13 unless the school or teacher working with the student has obtained appropriate, verifiable consent directly from the parent or legal guardian for the student to use the Shedthemusic service.

b. Providing or Withdrawing Consent. Shedthemusic allows parents and legal guardians to review information submitted by their children, and to request the removal of any information. Details on these procedures can be found in the Contact section of this privacy policy

c. Schools that Act as the Parent’s Agent. Schools that contract with Shedthemusic to provide our services for legitimate educational purposes only may consent to the collection of student information on the parent’s behalf (see “Verifiable Consent” above) and may also request to review and/or delete a student’s personal information. Schools should consider making these same notices available to parents. As a best practice, the school or school district should make the decision to contract with Shedthemusic rather than placing that responsibility upon individual teachers.
