Example of Email Sent to Parent/Guardian

Dear Parent / Guardian,

Your child’s school has purchased a subscription to a Discovery Education online service and has provided your child with a username/password to access our educational content. Because your child may be under the age of 13, federal law requires that we attempt to notify you of the collection of this information.

Please contact Discovery Education at any time regarding privacy questions or concerns, or to request to review what personally identifiable information has been provided by their school. You may also contact us at any time to request that we delete the personally identifiable information of your child and disallow any further access.
