Our website collects non-personal information from all our users through cookies and website analytics software (Google Analytics). In addition, we collect necessary information from users who sign up for a Parent Zone account, or access any of our products or services - including any subscription services or events. This information is needed in order to deliver our products, projects and services.
Reasons for collecting personal data
Parent Zone provides support and information to parents, children and schools around the world, helping families to navigate the internet safely and confidently.
We regularly work with parents, schools, governments and businesses to study, understand and address the impact of emerging technologies on children and families.
Any information and personal data we collect is solely for the purposes of carrying out our mission, delivering our projects and conducting research to help families in a digital age.
What personal data do we store?
We aim to minimise the amount of personal data we store at all times. What we collect will vary depending on the product, project or service you are accessing. You have the right to contact us to request access to the personal data we have stored at any time.
We may - if you have submitted it - hold some, or all, of the data below:

Some of our products might require additional personal data. Where that is the case you will be made aware of the data we need to collect when you sign up for that product.
How do we use your personal information?
Your personal information is used to deliver the product or service you have requested. For example in order to give you access to download specific resources, to use a subscription product or to have an account on the Parent Zone website.
Personal information is never shared with third parties unless it is for a specific task related to the project (e.g. postal addresses for the delivery of physical resources). Where information is shared with a third party we secure a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to make sure the data is not shared with any third parties.
