COPPA Summary
How KRKB supports child privacy, parent review, managed school/library access, account linking, and deletion requests for younger readers.
Updated May 28, 2026
What KRKB asks readers to do
- Use safe usernames or nicknames instead of sharing full names publicly.
- Keep addresses, phone numbers, school names, email addresses, and other personal details out of public posts.
- Submit reviews, stories, quizzes, discussions, and profile content that follow KRKB community rules.
Parent and caregiver controls
- Linked parents can use the Parent Portal to review reader activity and account controls.
- Parents can request account deletion for linked child accounts through Parent Portal tools.
- Teachers and librarians can provide take-home letters so families know how KRKB is being used.
School and library use
When KRKB is used in a classroom, school library, or public library program, teachers and librarians may create school/library-managed reader profiles, assignments, QR cards, program pages, and family instructions. Rosters can also be synced from Clever when a teacher authorizes the class; Clever shares only a student's first name, last initial, and grade — no student email address — and students can never self-register through Clever. Managed reader profiles are not the same as child or patron self-registration with a personal email address, but they can still contain reader work or participation connected to the managed profile. Where a school authorizes rostered access, the school acts as the consent point for that program use, consistent with the FTC's school-consent guidance under COPPA. KRKB keeps parent-facing access paths available where accounts are linked, and schools or libraries can contact KRKB for privacy or deletion questions. This summary is not legal advice; use the full COPPA page and any written agreement for formal review.
