• We will use your Personal Data to provide study material for the championship to you, for test delivery services to you, including test scheduling and administration, maintaining the integrity of the testing process, and score reporting.

TESTING OF MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF 13

When children under the age of 13 wish to take the COMPUDN JUNIOR test requiring the collection of their Personal Data, we ask that they provide us the personal data of their parents. We take steps to protect children’s privacy, including:

We collect participating students’ data through participating schools where Schools send championship information to Parents and then Parents decide whether to allow their kids to participate in the championship and accordingly sharing of the personal date.
• We request to Schools to send us the information in a password protected file.
• This way, data that comes to us is after obtaining consent from parents. Only then we send information about our products and services directly to their children. Even then, we ask that parents provide their own email address for communication with us.
• In case of individual (non-school) participation, we limit our collection of personal information from children to no more than is reasonably necessary to register.
• Provide parents access or the ability to request access to the personal information we have collected from their children and the ability to request that the personal information be updated accordingly.
