1. No Free Form Communication Between Children
   • Skoolbo does not allow children to send or receive any free form information to other users. This prevents communication or inappropriate messaging between children and reduces the possibility of bullying via the Skoolbo services.
   
   
2. Leaderboards and Newsfeeds
   • The Leaderboards and Newsfeeds are a way of recognising wonderful performances of students. They help foster a community where learning is highly valued. In order to protect the child we only hold and display the first name (or pseudonym); the Child’s school and region/territory; Significant improvement or mastery results; and the Child’s overall score (both Team and Individual) may be shown on a Leaderboard or Newsfeed.
   
   
3. Multiplayer Games
   • An important part of the Skoolbo Services is multiplayer games. This is where the Child plays with other children on the Skoolbo services. The Child may or may not know his/her opponent. Multiplayer games share with the other player information such as the Child’s first name; the Child’s country; the Child’s digital avatar; the Child’s result from the current game. Most multiplayer games played will be asynchronous. This means that the player (a child) is playing will have played that game at an earlier point in time. The results achieved by the opposing player are precisely what they achieved when playing the game.
   
   
4. No Advertising to Children
   • The Skoolbo Services do not send any marketing materials to the Child. There are no third party banner advertisements within the Skoolbo Services. There are no in-game promotions. Supporters and Partners of Skoolbo are recognised in a simple, discreet manner on the Skoolbo website.
   • Skoolbo services do not use any tracking services to target or remarket advertising to children.
   • If Skoolbo does in the future wish to advertise a sponsorship of its services then it can do so at will and does not to need to give the users advance notice of this sponsorship.
