Privacy Policy

Guiding Principles

Galileo XP, Inc ("we," "us," "our," or "Kubrio") knows that you care about how your Personal Information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. We are committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our site and applications, and have drafted this policy in accordance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). For more information about COPPA and general tips about protecting children's online privacy, please visit OnGuard Online. Please read the following to learn more about how we use your Personal Information. By visiting, accessing or using the kubrio.com website, and any other linked pages, features, content, or application services (including mobile applications) offered by Kubrio in connection therewith (collectively, "Kubrio"), or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Kubrio is a learning platform for kids ages 6-13, where children learn using AI and connect with other kids in a safe, monitored environment.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers Kubrio's treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that Kubrio gathers when you access Kubrio and when you use Kubrio's services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Kubrio does not own or control (including any third-party products or services used for logging into Kubrio or that are integrated with Kubrio), or to individuals that Kubrio does not employ or manage. Kubrio may contain links to other sites. Kubrio is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site a user should read the privacy policy stated on that site.

What Personal Information Does Kubrio Collect?

The information we gather from users enables us to provide, personalize and improve our services, and allows our users to set up a user account and profile that can be used to personalize their learning experience on Kubrio and interact with other children in a safe, monitored environment. In connection with Kubrio, we request and display some Personal Information to other users and visitors of Kubrio, which allows users to identify one another. We collect the following types of information from our users:

Personal Information You Provide To Us:

During the account registration process, we receive and store the following information:

1. full name of the parent or guardian
2. full name of the child
3. parent's email address
4. parent current city
5. a password for the parental account
6. and the child's birthdate (to verify their age)

In addition, children choose an "avatar" and username ("nickname") which will represent them on the service. Parents create all accounts and manage access for their children across various platforms. Access to Kubrio is only available through paid accounts, which means all parents are verified based on their credit card information. We encourage children to use their real names. Consistent with the requirements of COPPA, we collect a parent or guardian email address before we collect any Personal Information from a child. We collect credit card information and ID for verification purposes but do not store that information on our servers. We've partnered with Stripe to help make verification and payments easier and safer. Stripe meets and exceeds the most stringent industry standards for security. You can learn more about the technical details of Stripe's secure infrastructure here. Kubrio does not store full credit card numbers, but instead, only the last four digits and expiration date.

Kubrio does not intentionally collect any Personal Information from children other than the information set out above. However, as part of the functionality of our service, we allow child accounts to upload and share content to the platform, including their work, photos, videos, and comments. Children share and upload work to receive feedback from AI and to interact with other children in the Kubrio community. This content is only shared within the Kubrio community and is not made public unless separate parental consent is obtained. We take measures to prevent children from communicating Personal Information through these features, but we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these measures. If you use these features to disclose personally identifiable information, you should be aware that such information could be read, collected, or used by other users and/or third parties. You agree not to provide any personally identifiable information through these features, and we are not responsible for any personally identifiable information that you provide using these features. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to create an account or take advantage of many of Kubrio's special features. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as obtaining parental consent as set forth above, providing parents with notice of our privacy practices, answering questions, improving the content of Kubrio, responding to your requests for certain information, products and services, attribution for content you submit, customizing the advertising and content you see, allowing you to communicate with other users, and communicating with you about Kubrio's products and services, including specials and new features.

Personal Information Collected Automatically:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with Kubrio or use our services. Kubrio automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, browser information, operating system, timezone, device ID, the pages you request, and the actions and path you take on Kubrio. Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to Kubrio and how they use its various components. Kubrio only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how users use parts of Kubrio or services so that we can make Kubrio appealing to as many users as possible, and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use Kubrio or services. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how people use Kubrio or services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Kubrio never discloses aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from Kubrio if your computer or device supports this type of functionality. Kubrio uses this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and helpful and to improve Kubrio and our services. You can opt out of these communications by contacting us at privacy [at] kubrio. dot com.

More About Cookies:

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's (or other device's) persistent storage medium (e.g., hard drive) through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. We use cookies to enhance visitors' experiences, to learn more about their use of Kubrio and to improve quality. Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of Kubrio's most attractive features.

Will Kubrio Share Any Of The Personal Information It Receives?

Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. To be absolutely clear, we do not and will not sell your, or your child's data.

With Respect To A Child's Personal Information:

Kubrio will not send Personal Information about a child to other companies or people, except when: we have a parent's consent to share the information or we are required to do so to comply with the law, including for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce our Terms of Service, or site rules; or to protect the safety and security of our users and site. If Kubrio, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Kubrio goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. As set forth below, you acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Kubrio may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy. User profile information including users' nickname and avatar, email address, and other information you enter ("User Submissions"), may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within Kubrio. With respect to Personal Information other than a child's Personal Information:

WE SHARE SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLY AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We anticipate that we may become affiliated with a variety of businesses and work closely with them. In certain situations, these businesses may sell items to you through Kubrio. In other situations, Kubrio may provide services, or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. You can easily recognize when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, and we will share your Personal Information that is related to such transactions with that affiliated business.

Service Providers

We engage third party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., software maintenance services, advertising serving technologies, email service providers, delivery services, database management, web analytics, payment processing and other services). These third parties have access to your information so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are prohibited by us from using or disclosing your information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance, except to the extent required by law. We may permit our service providers to use aggregate information which does not identify you or de-identified data for other purposes.

Consent For Internal Media Usage

Kubrio is a learning platform where children learn using AI and connect with other kids. Children share and upload their work to receive feedback from AI and to collaborate with other children in the community. This content is only shared within the Kubrio community (accessible to the Kubrio team and students and parents in the Kubrio Community) and is not made public.

For the safety of every student, only the Kubrio team and the students and parents in the Kubrio Community will have access to this content.

Consent For External Media Usage

We celebrate the fantastic work of Kubrio students, and with separate parental consent, we may share their work publicly on social media and other platforms. These public media spaces include our Blog, our YouTube channel, and other innovative platforms. We will only share children's work publicly if parents provide explicit consent and the content does not contain Personal Information.

Business Transfers:

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if Kubrio, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Kubrio goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Kubrio or its assets may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.

Protection of Kubrio and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the any applicable law, regulation or other legal requirement; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Kubrio, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

Is Personal Information About Me Secure?

Your child's Kubrio account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to ensure that there is no unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer (or other device) and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Kubrio endeavors to protect user information to ensure that user account information is kept private, however, Kubrio cannot guarantee the security of user account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. Kubrio contains links to other sites. Kubrio is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site you should read the privacy policy stated on that site. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on Kubrio.

When Does Kubrio Obtain Parental Consent?

CONSENT BY PURCHASE

In order to access Kubrio, a parent or guardian must purchase a subscription by providing their credit card information. Access to Kubrio is only available through paid accounts, which means all parents are verified based on their credit card information. In purchasing access, the parent or guardian grants us permission to collect necessary Personal Information from their child. This kind of credit card verification is in compliance with COPPA and ensures an adult is the one signing a child up for Kubrio.

CONTENT GENERATED BY A CHILD

Certain activities on our sites and applications allow children to create, upload, and share content (like their work, photos, videos and comments) within Kubrio. Children share and upload work to receive feedback from AI and to interact with other children. By registering and creating an account for your child on Kubrio, you grant us permission to share your child's content within the Kubrio community. Any public sharing of your child's content on our social media channels requires separate explicit parental consent and will only occur if the content does not contain Personal Information.

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CHILDREN

Kubrio allows children to interact and communicate with other children through monitored messaging and collaboration features. All interactions are monitored using AI safety guardrails to ensure child safety. Our AI systems analyze all messages to detect and prevent inappropriate content or behavior.

Real-Time Safety Monitoring: We monitor for:

1. Bullying, harassment, or intimidation
2. Improper language for children
3. Inappropriate requests or behavior
4. Attempts to share personal information

Immediate Action: When our systems detect any of the above:

1. The request or message is blocked immediately
2. Parents are notified in real-time via email
3. The incident is logged for review
4. Repeat violations may result in account suspension

These systems employ multiple layers of protection including automated filters, AI monitoring, and content review to prevent the communication of Personal Information and age-inappropriate content. We strongly encourage children who use these interactive features never to provide Personal Information about themselves or any third party, and certainly never to attempt to circumvent our safety measures. We also recommend that parents carefully supervise their children when they participate in online activities.

When Will Kubrio Email Me?

You acknowledge and agree that by posting such User Submissions, Kubrio may send you email and other communication that it determines in its sole discretion to be related to your User Submissions.
