Our Privacy Commitment to Families and Students
100% FERPA & COPPA Compliant
We are 100% compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We protect student education records and online data with the highest standards of safety.
Built for Our Children's Future
a2ziq was built by developers, administrators, and friends/family who want to advance our children. This is a labor of love dedicated to educational progress. Our children are the future of this country, and we exist solely to support and protect them.
Zero Commercial Data Collection or Selling
We will not sell or even collect any information for any commercial purpose whatsoever. There are no advertisements, no tracking cookies, and no data monetization.
Our Vow to You
We are firmly against the data practices of companies like Facebook or other social media corporations that exploit and harm our children. If we ever find ourselves acting like them, we will shut down our business immediately.
Student & Parent Anonymity
Students and parents can remain completely anonymous. Students can provide their preferred name (nickname) rather than their legal name, and we never ask for or store contact information for students or parents.
Strict Third-Party Restrictions
We will not work with any third party who tries to use our data for commercial purposes or any other purpose other than what is explicitly allowed by State and Federal law and accepted by the parents.
Parents Advisory Board
We have established a Parents Advisory Board. We will never question their recommendations: whatever they recommend to protect our children, we will implement it without hesitation.
Tell Us if We Can Improve
We want you to tell us if you think any part of our site or application violates your privacy or exposes data, tell us immediately. If your claim is verified as true, we will shut down that specific part of our website or service immediately until it is perfectly safe and compliant.

1. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) & Student Data Privacy
A2ZiQ (and ID3U) is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children and K–12 students in strict accordance with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and state student data privacy statutes including the Virginia Student Data Privacy Law (Code of Virginia § 22.1-289.01).
- Parental & School Authorization: Student accounts for children under the age of 13 may only be created by a verified parent/legal guardian via the Parent Portal or by an authorized school/teacher acting with verifiable parental consent.
- Limited Educational Data Collection: We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide educational practice, adaptive quiz tracking, XP/belt progress, homework assignments, and parent-reserved weekend live classes (such as student first name or display alias, grade level, and learning progress metrics).
- Zero Behavioral Advertising & Zero Data Sales: We never sell, rent, or lease student personal information to third parties, and we never display targeted or behavioral advertising to students.
- Parental Rights to Review & Delete: Parents and legal guardians have the absolute right at any time to review their child’s educational progress records, revoke consent, or request permanent deletion of their child’s account and associated data by contacting [email protected] (Woodbridge, VA) or managing their child’s profile in the Parent Portal.
2. Information Security & Data Retention
All student and parent records are transmitted over encrypted TLS/HTTPS connections and stored in access-controlled databases. Student progress records are retained only for as long as the parent or school account remains active, or until deletion is requested by the parent or school administrator.

- Parent & Educator Accounts: Parents and educators are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and supervising student participation in optional live interactive classes.
- Subscriptions, Billing & Cancellation: Subscription plans billed through the Parent Portal may be canceled at any time prior to the next billing cycle. Prize rewards (such as Guru Board Graduation awards) are subject to verification of authentic student practice activity.
