Is a child's personal information required for participation in the Student Reading Log?

Yes. Students need individual accounts to access The Student Reading Log so that they may record and track the books which they have read.


What information is collected online from children under 13?

Children under 13 access The Student Reading Log using a student account. These accounts are established by the student's school Student Reading Log Administrator, using information provided by the school. The minimum information required to create a student account is:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • User Name
  • Password
  • Optionally, the school may also provide the student's email address, grade, and classes.

What do you do with the information you collect?

The Student Reading Log only collects information that is relevant and not excessive for the purpose of tracking books that a student or user has read. This information is available within the school to the corresponding teachers and administrators of that school, as well as to the individual user that entered it. De-personalized statistics are also available to all users within a specific school, but not to users outside of one's own school. De-personalized word count estimates may be used to improve word count accuracy for books within The Student Reading Log.

Data collected will not be shared with a third party or used for anything other than the educational purposes of The Student Reading Log.


Do you obtain parental consent prior to collecting information from the child?

No. Student accounts are created by teachers, school administrators, or by the school Student Reading Log Program Administrator. COPPA and other laws authorize schools to act in place of the parent or guardian in deciding whether to give consent to the collection and use of student information for educational purposes.  By creating the student account on the site, teachers provide consent and authorization for The Student Reading Log to store and process personal data about those children for purpose of providing the services of The Student Reading Log.  Children under 13 cannot create their own accounts and parents do not have access to the administrative portion of our site where student accounts are created.


Can a child enter personal information into your site?

No. Personal information about children can only be entered by school personnel or by The Student Reading Log personnel acting on their behalf. A student may not enter or store additional personal information on our site other than information about the books which the student has read.


Will a child's personal information be shared with 3rd parties?

The Student Reading Log does not release personal information collected or received on the site, be that from a child or adult, to any unrelated third party, with the exception of successors and law enforcement, as described here in the policy. In the event The Student Reading Log is sold to a new owner, whether by merger, asset sale, or other means, we retain the right to transfer personal information to the new owner, provided we notify you this is occurring (which may be by posting on our websites) and the new owner agrees to respect the privacy policy in effect with respect to this personal data.


Will the Student Reading Log share personal information with law enforcement?

We may release personal information at the request of law enforcement authorities, when ordered to do so where a formal request has been made such as in a court order, subpoena or judicial proceeding by a court or similar legal process, or when we have the right to do so and believe it is necessary to protect the physical safety of our employees, users, and the general public.


Can a parent or guardian choose to remove their child's data from The Student Reading Log?

Yes. Parents and legal guardians may contact their child's school to review what personal information is being collected and to request that data be deleted. Parents who experience difficulty or require additional information may contact The Student Reading Log directly at info@studentreading.net for assistance. Upon request from the school or from a confirmed parent or legal guardian, The Student Reading Log will provide an inventory of the personal information it holds on their behalf and will delete it if requested.
