How Toddle Upholds The Australian Privacy Principles

APP 1- Open and Transparent Management of Personal Information

Toddle adopts a very transparent approach towards its Privacy Practices. The Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Terms of Service are all hosted on its website staging-www.toddleapp.com. Toddle also has a designated Data Protection Officer, Anshul Chauhan and he can be contacted at privacy@toddleapp.com.

APP 2- Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where practicable, Toddle provides individuals with the option of not identifying themselves or using a pseudonym. However, this may not always be possible for us to provide our services effectively.

APP 3- Collection of Solicited Personal Information

Toddle collects minimal data from its users and the data collected is used only for providing the services that Toddle has with the user. For details on the types of personal information Toddle collects, how it is collected, and the use of cookies and tracking technologies, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Toddle collects user data after receiving their consent. Schools are responsible for obtaining verifiable parental consent for using Toddle for children below the legal age (as specified by local laws). If you come across an instance where Toddle is collecting information from a student without parental consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@toddleapp.com. Schools can download a sample of the Parental Consent form from here.

APP 4- Dealing with Unsolicited Personal Information

If Toddle receives unsolicited personal information, we will determine whether we could have collected it through normal means. If not, we will destroy or de-identify the information as soon as practicable, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so.

APP 5- Notification of the Collection of Personal Information

The collection of personal information on the Toddle platform is primarily managed by the schools that use our services. Schools provide us with the necessary data to set up and manage accounts for students, teachers, and parents.

Account creation in Toddle can happen in 3 ways:

  1. Account for a teacher created by the teacher’s school – Teachers can log in to their accounts as soon as they’re ready.
  2. Account for a student created by the school – This is governed by Parental Consent being collected by the school.
  3. Teacher creating his/ her own account – A verification code is sent in an email to the teacher’s email ID. The account is created only if the verification code is entered by the teacher.

If Toddle experiences such a breach, we will take immediate steps to contain it and assess the risk of harm. Affected individuals will be notified with a description of the breach, the types of information involved, and recommended steps they can take to protect themselves. Additionally, Toddle will notify the OAIC and provide details of the breach and our response. Toddle is dedicated to ensuring the security of your personal information and will take all necessary actions to prevent and respond to data breaches.
