Children's Privacy Notice (COPPA)

AlQuranClasses is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children who enroll in our online Quran classes. This Children's Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and protect information related to minors.

This notice is provided in compliance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applies to all students under the age of 13, as well as minors enrolled through a parent or legal guardian.

Our commitment to child privacy

AlQuranClasses provides online Quran classes for kids through parental enrollment only. Children cannot independently create accounts or subscribe to services.

We collect student information only after receiving consent from a parent or legal guardian.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without parental authorization.

What information we collect about children

When a parent enrolls a child in our online Quran classes, we may collect:

• Student's first and last name
• Age (if provided)
• Attendance records
• Class participation details
• Learning progress and teacher notes
• Session activity logs

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide educational services.

We do not collect:

• Social security numbers
• Government identification numbers
• Biometric data
• Unnecessary sensitive information

How we use children's information

We use student information only to:

• Deliver online Quran classes
• Track educational progress
• Maintain attendance records
• Provide feedback to parents
• Improve instructional quality
• Ensure platform security

We do not sell, rent, or trade children's personal information.

We do not use children's information for behavioral advertising.

Parental consent

Before collecting any personal information from a child, we require:

• Parent or legal guardian registration
• Payment authorization from the parent
• Agreement to our Terms, Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy

By enrolling a child, the parent confirms they are the legal guardian and consent to data collection as described in this Notice.

Parental rights under COPPA

Parents have the right to:

• Review the personal information we have collected about their child
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of their child's information
• Withdraw consent for further data processing
• Refuse additional data collection

To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We may require identity verification before fulfilling requests.

Session monitoring & recording

Online Quran classes may be recorded for:

• Quality assurance
• Safety and dispute resolution
• Teacher training

Recordings are securely stored and not publicly shared. Parents may request information about session recordings by contacting support.

Data security measures

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect children's information. These include:

• Secure hosting environments
• Restricted access controls
• Encrypted payment processing through third-party PCI-compliant providers

However, no online system can guarantee 100% security.

Third-party service providers

To operate our online Quran classes, we may use trusted third-party providers such as:

• Video conferencing platforms
• Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal)
• Hosting and security (Cloudflare)
• Customer support systems
• Analytics tools (Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity on our main website), only with cookie consent

These providers are contractually required to maintain confidentiality and security.

Our website and free apps

Our website and our free apps (qaida, hifz, qibla, salah, zakat, halal and recite.alquranclasses.com) ask for cookie consent before any analytics runs.

• The free apps, which many children use, have no advertising or marketing option. Advertising consent is always refused there, and Microsoft Clarity is blocked.
• Analytics on the apps (Google Analytics) runs only if it is allowed in Cookie Settings.
• What a child enters or saves in an app — for example letters learned or memorisation progress — stays in their own browser and is not sent to us.

See the Cookies section of our Privacy Policy for the full list.

Data retention

We retain children's personal information only as long as necessary to:

• Provide educational services
• Maintain legal and financial records
• Resolve disputes

Inactive accounts may be anonymized or deleted in accordance with applicable laws.

International students

AlQuranClasses serves families in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Information may be processed in Canada or other countries where our service providers operate. Appropriate safeguards are used when required by law.
