Parental Notice and Consent

Dear Parent/Guardian,

You have requested an Oodesy child account. For a child under 13, Oodesy, Inc. must provide this notice and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from the child, except as permitted by law. We use the parent contact information you supplied to communicate with you and complete this consent process. A separate child email address or public username is not required for this consent.

Information and uses. Depending on the features enabled, we collect the child profile information you provide, account and device identifiers, communication preferences and custom vocabulary, AAC usage records that can include selected words and composed sentences, and messages, comments, photos, files, and other content submitted through parent-approved communication features. We use this information to operate the account, synchronize enabled features, provide communication history and progress features, deliver communications, and protect the service. Hosting, storage, communications, and diagnostic service providers process information to support these purposes. Parent-directed sharing with a clinic, school, channel participant, or other recipient is controlled separately, including channels you approve or add your child to and content you choose to route to another person. You may consent to the collection and use described here without enabling optional sharing. Optional cloud recording is subject to its own notice and any separately required consent. This consent does not authorize advertising disclosures or other optional third-party disclosures requiring separate consent.

Read this notice and our Privacy Policy at https://www.oodesy.com/privacy/. To consent electronically, select the affirmative consent control identifying this notice and the children covered, and provide your name when prompted. Complete the parent verification process provided through Epic Kids Web Services (KWS), unless Oodesy confirms that your account already has a qualifying completed KWS verification that can be used with your new consent. Your affirmative consent and the verification result are recorded separately and linked to this notice’s version and the child profiles covered. KWS verification alone is not acceptance of this notice. If an alternative signed-form method is offered, follow the instructions provided for that method.

We will not enable collection, use, or disclosure of a child’s personal information that requires this consent until the consent and verification process is complete. You may refuse consent and may request review or deletion of your child’s information or withdraw consent by contacting privacy@oodesy.com. Optional sharing permissions remain separate. Contact information collected solely to seek consent will be deleted if consent is not obtained within a reasonable time; this does not require deletion of an independently maintained parent account.
