When you register your children for a Power-Glide course, we may collect information regarding you and your children. This personal information may be collected on our Sites, or via telephone or conventional mail. The types of information that you may be asked to provide, depending on what services you would like to receive, include first and last name, billing address, the services you request, registration information about your children, and an e-mail address where we can contact you.

Personal Information Provided by Parents about Children
We understand that our student users who are under 13 years of age need special safeguards and privacy protection, and it is our intent to fully comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Power-Glide does not collect personal information from children online at any point. Power-Glide receives personal information about your children directly from you only when you enroll your children in a Power-Glide course. You can review certain personal information that Power-Glide has regarding your children by making such a request in writing to privacy@powerspeak.com. Please be aware that some personal information relating to your children’s educational records may not be able to be disclosed by Power-Glide due to state and/or federal law.
You can request that your children’s personal information not be used by K12, its affiliates, and vendors acting on behalf of K12, by making a request in writing to privacy@K12.com. Please be aware that if you make such a request, your children can no longer continue to be enrolled in a K12 virtual program or to utilize the OLS. Therefore, a request by you for K12, affiliates, and vendors acting on behalf of K12 to no longer use your children’s personal information will terminate your children’s participation in the K12 virtual program in which they are enrolled and their use of the OLS.
