16 CFR Part 312 Federal Compliance

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Statement

Status: Active • Audited: September 2026 • Scope: TheSTEMSafari K-6 Portal

Executive Declaration: TheSTEMSafari is engineered from the ground up as a child-safe educational web resource. In strict accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s COPPA Rule (16 CFR Part 312), we do not collect, maintain, or disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age.

1. The Zero-PII Architectural Philosophy

Under COPPA regulations, collecting personal information from children under 13 typically requires Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC). Because TheSTEMSafari is designed to be frictionless for public school classrooms, libraries, and home learners, we eliminate the risk at the architectural layer by never requesting or accepting student personal data.

No student accounts, registrations, or usernames.
No collection of names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
No persistent user tracking across external websites or services.
No user-generated public chat, forums, or open social media integrations.

2. 100% Ad-Free Educational Environment

TheSTEMSafari is an ad-free educational portal. We serve zero third-party commercial advertisements, zero popups, and zero sponsored trackers across all games and modules.

No third-party advertising scripts or cookies are loaded.
Interest-based behavioral targeting and remarketing pixels are completely absent from our platform.
Third-party ad networks are not integrated, ensuring zero student tracking or profiling.

3. FERPA, SOPPA & School District Approval

Because TheSTEMSafari collects zero Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and does not store student educational records on remote cloud servers, our platform meets standard vendor guidelines under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and state-level student privacy acts (including Illinois SOPPA, California AB 1584, and New York Ed Law 2-D).

4. Parental Inquiries & Verification

Parents and legal guardians are welcome to inspect our platform architecture or ask questions regarding child safety measures. Inquiries may be addressed to our designated compliance contact:
