Protecting Childrens' Privacy

Learning Resources is a general audience website. Learning Resources' products, although intended for use by children, are available for adult purchase only. Persons under 18 are not permitted to purchase products from Learning Resources nor submit information stored by Learning Resources for action (i.e. catalog requests, Click-2-Win!, and contact forms). Persons under 18 are required to use the site under the supervision of a legal guardian.

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), Learning Resources does not knowingly collect and store personal information from any persons under the age of 13. Private information identified as being gathered from a person under the age of 13 is used solely for completion of the requested action and immediately destroyed. This includes, but is not limited to, submissions to the Gears! Gallery, Wish Lists and email.


Online Security

Learning Resources offers a secure online commerce environment. All credit transactions occur in a secure area of our site, protecting you from loss or misuse of information. The transfer of sensitive information between you and Learning Resources is protected by the highest standard of encryption technology available on the Internet.

Public/private key cryptography enables the creation of a secure "conversation" between your browser and our secure server. While this conversation could potentially be "overheard," it cannot be decrypted.


How You Can Tell You're Browsing a Secure Website

In order to be sure that information transferred between your browser and the Learning Resources server is secure, it is important to be aware of the security information available to you through your browser.

Once you enter the Checkout process (when you're ready to purchase the items you have placed in your shopping cart), your connection to our server becomes secure. These security features are enacted automatically; you do not have to take any action to invoke them. To confirm that you are operating in secure mode, look at the bottom of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure that your information is secure.


Data Encryption & Risk of Decryption

Learning Resources makes use of a 128-bit encryption key. When a secure connection is initiated, our server's public key is automatically transferred to your browser. Your browser then uses this key to encrypt information transferred back to Learning Resources. This information can only be decrypted using the private key installed on Learning Resources secure server.

We reserve the right to change this policy in the future by notifying you of the existence of a new privacy statement. If we decide to change our policies, we will post the revised notice on our website and/or contact you to explain about the changes that we plan and the options you will have regarding participation. You agree that you will check the website from time to time to view the current Statement of Privacy in effect without notice from Learning Resources.


Privacy Rights of California Residents

This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) supplements the Learning Resources Privacy Policy and applies specifically to visitors and users who are California residents (“consumer(s)” or “you”). This Notice details Learning Resources’ compliance with, and the rights of consumers under, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) as well as other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used herein.

  • The specific pieces of your personal information that we have collected.
  • The categories of sources from which we have collected your personal information.
  • The commercial reason for our collection or sale of your personal information.
  • The categories of third parties, if any, with whom we have shared your personal information.

Upon receipt of any request, we will send you a verification notice and, once your identity has been verified, we will delete (and direct any third-party service providers to delete) your personal information.

Learning Resources may deny your deletion request if retaining your personal information is necessary for us to: complete the transaction for which we originally collected your personal information; provide a service that you requested; take reasonably anticipated actions within the context of our ongoing business relationship; to comply with a legal obligation; or otherwise as set forth in the CCPA. If we deny your deletion request, we will provide you with the reason(s) for such denial.
