5. Children's Privacy

Talmudy serves students ages 6 and up in institutional settings. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental or guardian consent, or without the involvement of their school or educational institution. If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate consent, contact us immediately at privacy@talmudy.com.

Schools and institutions using Talmudy are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from parents and guardians in compliance with applicable laws, including COPPA and FERPA.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and secure data storage. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our platform may contain links to external websites (such as referenced Talmud sources or educational partners). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
