7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Considerations)

Green Light Go provides services to teen students as young as 15 years old. We take the privacy of minors seriously:

• We collect only the personal information necessary to provide driver education services to teen students.
• For students under 18, a parent or legal guardian must authorize enrollment and consent to the collection of the student's personal information.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our services are designed for individuals aged 15 and older.
• Parents and guardians may review, request deletion of, or refuse further collection of their child's personal information by contacting us at the information provided below.
• We do not condition a teen's participation in our programs on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, including:

• Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant Clover systems.
• Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis.
• Secure storage of physical student records.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
