Children's and Minors' Privacy
Our Services are intended for driver education students aged 13 or older and for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete it.
For students between 13 and 17, we require that a parent or guardian review this Privacy Policy and be involved in the enrollment process. A parent or guardian may review, request deletion of, or refuse further collection of their minor's personal information by contacting us. We use minors' personal information only to provide the driver education Services and as otherwise described in this policy.
Third-Party Links

This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any information.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, our Services do not currently respond to them. We will treat recognized opt-out preference signals as required by applicable law.
