Terms, COPPA observations, and important disclaimers.

This page explains the working terms for using Classroom Act and the key notices that families should review before creating an account or using a report.

Terms & Conditions

Educational guidance only. Classroom Act provides informational and educational support. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical, developmental, psychological, psychiatric, or educational condition.
No emergency use. The platform is not an emergency service and must not be used where urgent intervention is needed.
Parent responsibility. Parents or lawful guardians are responsible for all child-related information entered into the platform and for decisions made after reviewing recommendations.
Account security. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for activity that occurs under their account.
Identifier-based child profiles. Families agree to use child identifiers instead of real child names in the standard workflow unless the platform later expressly requires otherwise.
Third-party content. Public activity listings, external locations, and online games may be provided for convenience. Classroom Act does not control third-party accuracy, accessibility, safety, or current operating status.
No guarantee of outcomes. Classroom Act does not guarantee educational placement, school admissions, therapy outcomes, or child development outcomes.
Use with professional judgment. Reports should be discussed with qualified professionals whenever parents have concerns regarding learning, development, safety, behaviour, or wellbeing.
Acceptable use. Users may not misuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, submit unlawful content, or use the service in a way that harms children, families, schools, or communities.
Policy updates. Terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use after updates means acceptance of the revised terms.

Privacy and consent summary

Minimal child-identifying data. Classroom Act is designed around child identifiers rather than real child names.
Parent consent. By creating an account, the parent or legal guardian confirms they are authorized to provide the information entered into the system.
Stored information. Parent email addresses, login credentials, child profile details, questionnaire responses, and report summaries may be stored to operate the service.
Email delivery. Activation emails, status emails, newsletters, and report delivery messages may be sent to the parent email address associated with the account.
Access and deletion. Parents should be offered reasonable processes for correction, deletion, and account management requests.
Security notice. Reasonable technical and administrative protections should be maintained, but no internet service can promise absolute security.

COPPA observations

Classroom Act should be used by parents or legal guardians, not directly by children.
Parents should provide verifiable consent before sharing any child-related information.
The platform should continue minimizing the collection of personally identifying child data wherever possible.
If the service expands in ways that directly target children under 13, a deeper COPPA compliance review should be conducted before launch or scale-up.
Public activity suggestions and third-party links should be reviewed by parents before a child interacts with them.

Key disclaimers

No diagnosis disclaimer: The questionnaire and resulting report are not a diagnostic instrument and must not be presented as a diagnosis.
No medical or therapeutic disclaimer: The platform does not replace pediatric, therapeutic, psychiatric, or psychological care.
No legal advice disclaimer: Legal content on this website is general information and should not be treated as legal advice.
Location and activity disclaimer: Public place listings are generated from location-based data sources and should always be checked independently for safety, accessibility, suitability, and operating hours.
Partner and sponsor neutrality: Partner or sponsor references do not mean that Classroom Act guarantees or endorses every service offered by those third parties.

Implementation note

This page provides a comprehensive working legal framework for the live site, but production use across jurisdictions should still be reviewed by qualified legal counsel familiar with child privacy, education, consumer protection, and digital communications law.
