Gaggle's services are in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.

1. Individual children are not allowed to sign up for the Gaggle email service. The only way a child may obtain access to an email account on the Gaggle service is through their school. Schools sign up for a group account on Gaggle.Net and then create accounts for specific students.
2. Each school is responsible for creating and monitoring student accounts on the service. Schools may choose to list students' full names in the record for each user. Entering data in the Full Name field is optional and is for the school's use only. It is intended for administrative and disciplinary purposes.
3. Use of the Free Version of Gaggle implies that your school is acting as a proxy for parental consent and agrees to the advertising, data collection, and terms of service of the Gaggle web site.
4. The school wide data collected by Gaggle is the school's address, grade levels, and other aggregate information about the school's internet connection, computers and the likelihood of students to have home computers.
5. In the future Gaggle may collect age and gender data to be used for the purpose of offering age appropriate and relevant advertising on our free version. Such data will not be used by Gaggle in the subscription version of the service.

Gaggle will not use the student full names for any marketing or data collection purposes. You may read the complete Privacy and Security Statement online for additional details.
