COPPA Policy
Dear Parents,
Like you, I’ve “agreed” to a lot of unreadable privacy policies while signing my three kids up for things online. And it makes me uncomfortable every time.
So I wanted to write to you directly about our commitment to privacy.
We’re committed to following the law in protecting your kid’s data — and below, we’ve outlined how we’re complying with children’s data privacy laws as laid out in COPPA (the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).
But our commitment to privacy goes far beyond what’s legally required — because my kids are part of this program too, and we believe families deserve to be in control of their data.
If you want to read about our commitment to privacy (including a summary in plain language, not legalese!) you can go here.
And if you have any questions, please email us at hello@buildlegends.com.
Thanks for your interest,
Sonny Caberwal
CEO, Legends

Ever Scouts, Inc., DBA ”Legends“ (“Legends,” “we,” “our” or “us”) values the privacy of children and of all of our students. This COPPA Policy (“COPPA Policy”) is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its rules (as amended, “COPPA”). COPPA requires us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this policy, collectively, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from or about children under the age of 13 (collectively, “children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for the collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

We may gather information from your child about their interests, likes and dislikes, goals, and other information that is used to personalize the program to the child.
