Device information. Like most website operators, Brick English collects information about how users visit our site and the devices they use. We collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, device identifiers like IDFA and UDID, and mobile network information). Brick English may associate your device identifiers or other device information with your Brick English Account to help us provide consistent services across your devices.

Geolocation information. We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of where you are located in order to provide you with an improved experience.

Information We Collect From Other Sources

We do not control, supervise or respond for how the third parties providing your information process your personal data, and any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information to us should be directed to such third parties.

The information we collect about you from third parties includes:

Facebook Connect, Google Login and the other chat apps. You have the option to log in to our site using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect and Google Login. These services authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name, date of birth, and email address, to pre-populate our sign-up form.

Other partners and companies. Brick English may also receive information about you from other sources, including our partners, service providers or other third parties.

Information From Children

While Brick English is intended for users age 13 and over, if a child requests access to our website we accommodate them by offering a limited feature set and restricted website experience that removes certain features. We offer this restricted experience (“Child Account”) for accounts of all users below the age of 13 and for some users below the age of 16 where applicable under local law.

Brick English collects personal information about Child Accounts for distribution, sharing, or selling, as described in this Privacy Notice. To create an account, we require the user to submit a date of birth, username and email address. We collect a parent’s email address from a child under the age of consent if they attempt to register in order to notify the parent of their child’s use of Brick English and, where required, to seek parental consent for use of that data.

We do not condition a child's participation or access to any activity on Brick English on the child providing any personally-identifying information or any more information than is reasonably necessary for that activity. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis, marketing and other commercial purposes. So, parents have the right to guide our service for safety.

Third Party Service Providers. Where necessary, we use restricted versions of our third-party services (for example, Google Analytics) that limit data sharing and tracking on areas of our site and mobile apps that are accessed by children to support our internal operations.
