Dear Parent/Teacher/Facilitator/Small Group Leader:
Pilgrim’s Rock LLC is using Moodle software https://courses.pilgrimsrock.com to present and teach online courses we offer as part of our Services. The privacy of your family, homeschool co-op, church youth group, church small group, or other small group’s information is very important to us. Pilgrim’s Rock, LLC will only collect and retain enough personal information to register a child/student/participant for a course, bill or record payment for the course, and allow communication with the parent, teacher/facilitator, or small group leader on matters related to the course.
Congress enacted the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in 1998. COPPA required the Federal Trade Commission to issue and enforce regulations concerning children’s online privacy. The Commission’s original COPPA Rule became effective on April 21, 2000. The Commission issued an amended Rule on December 19, 2012. The amended Rule will become effective on July 1, 2013.
COPPA governs online resources offered to children. Because the children/students/participants may be either under 13 years of age (this form is required) or under 18 years of age (this form is suggested), your children/students/participants’ access to Moodle software and the Services provided by Pilgrim’s Rock, LLC requires your permission.
