Pikmykid Parent
Alert Privacy Policy
We take great pride in keeping your Organization’s and students’ personal information safe and private. We constantly evaluate and improve upon our own privacy practices and standards by challenging ourselves and every person who works at Pikmykid to think closely about student privacy. We work closely with Organizations to understand their needs and concerns through feedback sessions to increase data privacy.
Student Privacy Pledge
As K-12 school service providers, we are honored to be entrusted by educators and families to support their school operation needs. We take the responsibility to both support the effective use of student information and safeguard student privacy and information security.
FERPA & COPPA
Pikmykid complies with FERPA and works with schools to provide the information they need upon request. We firmly support the fact that school districts should and do own and control their students’ “Personal Student Information”. We take great efforts to collaborate with customers to provide them the ability to access, modify, and delete this data consistent with FERPA, COPPA, and all other applicable laws.
Your Privacy
Pikmykid understands how important privacy is to Parents and their students, the Organizations and Educational Professionals who use our Services, and our Site visitors. We provide a platform to assist you in the school dismissal process. As we describe below, Organizations and Parents determine the data that gets shared and used by Pikmykid to provide our Services. This Privacy Policy applies to our Site and our Services and describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

Information we collect
Information Organizations Give Us
When Organizations register for our Services, they provide certain information about the Organization, Parents, and students, such as Parent’s name, email address and phone number, student ID, classroom and other information maintained in the Organization’s information systems such as bus route number, teacher name, and information about student absences. We also receive information from Organizations and Parents when they send us a message, for example by email or by submitting a help request through the Site. The Organization may also provide us information about Educational Professionals such as name, email address and cell phone number to take advantage of some of our Services. Each Organization determines which Education Professionals have access to the Organization’s account with offerings and their permission levels.
Organizations that partner with us control their Student Data and can request deletion of Student Data at any time. Organizations control their own settings over the Services they would like to use and how they engage Parents.
Information You Give Us
When you register for our Services, you provide certain information such as Organization name, student’s name, point of contact name, physical address, email address and phone number. In addition, to use the Services, you are required to provide your pick-up method and student’s name. If you should discover incorrect information while using our Services, please contact [email protected] and we will assist in correcting the information. Parents using the Pikmykid app own their accounts and can delete them at any time.
You also may provide information to be published or displayed (hereinafter, “posted”) on public areas of the Site, or transmitted to other users of the Site or third parties (collectively, “User Submissions”). Your User Submissions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Site with whom you may choose to share your User Submissions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Submissions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
Information We Receive When You Use the Services
Like most websites and online services, certain information is automatically collected when you use our Services, visit our Site, read our emails, or otherwise communicate with us. For example, information about your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, device type, operating system, date and time stamp, a unique ID that allows us to identify your browser, mobile device or your account, and other similar information. Information about the way you use our Service is also collected, for example, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our website, the pages you visit, the links you click, how frequently you access the Site and use our Services, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Services or Site from multiple devices, and other actions you take on the Service or Site.

Your location may also be collected. We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage information for our Services. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our visitors, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals from your browser at this time.
We and your Organization may also place advertisements on the Site. We collect information related to these advertisements such as who clicks on them, the Organization they are affiliated with and the time and date the advertisement was clicked.
Student Data
Through the course of providing Services, we may have access to personally identifiable information about students (“Student Data”) that is provided by you. We have access to Student Data only as requested by the Organization and Parents and only for the purposes of performing Services on the Organization’s behalf. The type of Student Data we collect will depend on how the Organization uses the Services.
We receive Student Data only from the Organization and Parents. We never interact with the student directly. Student Data is confidential. We do not use Student Data for any purpose other than to provide the Services on the Organization’s behalf, in accordance with contractual agreements with the Organization. Our collection, use, and disclosure of Student Data is governed by our Terms of Use, our agreement(s) with the Organization, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and all applicable laws which relate to the collection of Student Data. Please contact your Organization if you have questions about the information they provide to us and their use of technology service providers like Pikmykid.
We take great efforts to collaborate with Organizations to provide them the ability to access, modify, and delete Student Data consistent with FERPA, COPPA, and all other applicable laws, including but not limited to California’s Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA), California Education Code, Section 49073.1, New York State Education Law Section 2-d, Illinois Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA), and the Texas Student Privacy Act.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve our Site, Services, and their functionality, and to communicate with our Organizations and Parents. To the extent we share your information, we will only share it with those who adhere to standards that are consistent with our Privacy Policy and practices. We may disclose your information in the following ways:
1) With Organizations/Parents. Any information provided by Parents may be shared with Organizations and any information provided by Organizations may be shared with Parents to the extent authorized by the Organization.
2) With Your Consent. We may share data collected through the Sites or Services with companies, Organizations and individuals outside of Pikmykid when we have your consent to do so.
3) With Third Parties on a Limited Basis. Except to the extent it contains or comprises Student Data, whether alone or when combined, we may share non-identifying and aggregated information with third parties, including advertisers and sponsors. We will never target advertisements to students or sell Student Data to third parties for any purpose. We may also disclose your information to other companies to comply with various reporting obligations; for business or marketing purposes; or to assist in understanding your interests, habits, and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and functionality available through the Site or as part of the Services. Our Services may automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Sites and users who use our Services. We use this information in aggregate form and not in a manner that would identify you personally. We may share aggregate and anonymized/pseudonymized personal data with third parties in order to promote or describe use of the Site and Services.
4) For Legal Reasons. In response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, from law enforcement agencies or state and federal regulators, or as otherwise required by law; as necessary to enforce applicable terms of use or to investigate suspected violations; to prevent or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; and/or to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Pikmykid users or the public, as required or permitted by law.
5) In the Event of a Business Transfer. In connection with an actual or proposed corporate merger, acquisition, asset purchase, or other transaction or proceeding involving all or part of the business or assets to which the information pertains. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if Pikmykid or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Pikmykid goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. Any acquirer of Pikmykid may only be permitted to acquire user information if the new company agrees to offer privacy and security terms no less stringent than ours. In this case, the successor entity is subject to all applicable Federal, State laws and applicable Student privacy laws. We will also work with successor to ensure the privacy and security terms are no less stringent than ours. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Pikmykid may continue to use Parent Information and Student Data as set forth in this policy.
6) For Customer Service Purposes. From time to time, we may use your information to contact you via e-mail to determine whether you are happy with our services and send you customer satisfaction surveys. We may also contact you by e-mail to advise you of offers, promotions or other information from our sponsor companies or advertisers. You retain the ability to “opt out” of such e-mail communications by following the opt-out procedures in the email. You will not be able to opt out, however, of viewing sponsor information that appears on the Site.
7) To Service Providers. We disclose your information to companies we use as contractors or agents to perform services for us such as administering our websites, systems, and software, hosting maintenance, and other such services. These service providers may have access to or process your information to the extent it is necessary for them to perform services for us.
8) For External Processing. We may provide personal data to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or partners to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These third parties include, without limitation, 9-1-1 or equivalent services, fire, police, emergency, medical, emergency management, campus safety officials, public health services, services providing safety-related monitoring and response (collectively “Emergency Service Providers”) and communication service providers. Examples of permitted disclosure of personal data include:
a. Your wireless phone number may be submitted to participating Emergency Service Providers in order to locate the device during an emergency or to transmit messages that you send or receive. We may store or archive snapshots of then-current Subscriber information as it is made available to Emergency Service Providers for the period of time dictated by their record keeping policies. Such third parties may use such information to send emergency and general interest notifications to you via various communication methods (e.g., voice calls, text messages, email, etc.)
b. In the event an emergency call or other direct communication is placed from your phone or device, and provided that the Emergency Service Provider receiving the call uses our Services, your information may be displayed on the answering operator’s workstation screen or made available to emergency responders.
c. In the event a non-9-1-1 call is made to an Emergency Service Provider from your phone and is then routed into a 9-1-1 system, if the receiving 9-1-1 agency uses our Services, your information may be displayed on the 9-1-1 operator’s workstation screen. In this situation, once information is passed to the local 9-1-1 authorities, we no longer have control over the transmission of the information. It may be conveyed verbally over an unsecured radio or transmitted in some other way to the responding emergency response team or others.
d. In the event an Emergency Service Provider uses the Services’ database query tools, and your information includes an address within the querying provider’s jurisdiction, and a portion of your information matches the provider’s query criteria, and if you have elected to participate in this portion of our Services, your information will be displayed in the search results presented to that provider.
e. In the event an Organization uses the services for Emergency Drill or Emergency Alert, your information and emergency contacts shared may be used to communicate irrespective of your choice to opt-out if carriers can override that election.
The specific circumstances under which we may share your personal data will vary based on the information you provide, the Services you elect to participate in, and how you use the Services. We rely on Organizations to provide us direction about how we can collect, use and share your information. You should contact your Organization if you have questions about their direction to us or the Organization’s use of technology service providers like Pikmykid.
Consequences of Your Failure to Provide Personal Data
It is our policy to only share personal data with contractors, service providers, and other third parties who are bound by obligations to keep personal data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Under certain circumstances, you may avoid having us share your information with our business partners and vendors by not granting us permission to share it.
Your provision of personal data is required in order to use certain parts of our Sites and Services. If you fail to provide such personal data, you may not be able to access and use our Services on our Sites or parts of our Services available via the Sites.
How we store and secure your information

We may post a notice on the Site if a security breach occurs. Once your information is removed from the Site, copies of your information, other than Student Data, may remain stored in backup systems or cached and archived pages. We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites, applications or services linked to or from our Site.
Any information collected through the Services is stored and processed in the United States. If you use our Services outside of the United States, you consent to have your data transferred to the United States.

Pikmykid does not claim ownership of your User Submissions. However, when you post or publish Content on or in the Services, you represent that you own and/or have a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, and communicate to the public, perform and display your User Submission (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any worldwide intellectual property right that may exist in your User Submission.
Subject to any applicable account settings that you select, you grant Pikmykid a fully paid, royalty- free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display, your User Submission (in whole or in part) for the purposes of operating and providing the Services to you and to our other users. Please remember that other users may search for, see, use, modify and reproduce any of your User Submissions that you submit to any “public” area of the Services. You warrant that the holder of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, in your User Submission, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above.

Modifications
We may modify these Terms from time to time and such modifications shall immediately take effect upon posting to the Site. If you do not agree with any changes to these Terms, you may terminate your account and stop using the Services. Your continued use of the Site or Services indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of these Terms.
Pikmykid reserves the right in its sole discretion to review, improve, modify, shut down, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services or Site.
General
The rights, obligations and duties contained herein shall survive the termination or modification of these Terms and shall survive even after you no longer continue to use Pikmykid.
Pikmykid may assign its rights and obligations pursuant to these Terms without prior notice to or consent from you. You, however, may not assign your rights or obligations pursuant to these Terms.
This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be interpreted, construed, and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
Term and Termination
This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. You may terminate your use of the Services or your account at any time by uninstalling the Application and/or Software. Pikmykid may disable or terminate your access to the Services or your account at any time, for any reason (without cause or for your violation of any term of this Agreement), and without warning or notice, which may result in the forfeiture of all information associated with your account.
If you are an Organization that has entered into a written license agreement to use the application, the term of the written agreement is stated in that agreement. For any termination of the agreement by the Organization other than a termination for good cause (as defined below), the balance of all remaining fees relating to the unexpired term of the agreement will be immediately due and payable.
Good cause exists when Pikmykid commits a material breach of the agreement and, in the case of a material breach capable of being cured, fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request in writing to cure such breach.
If you are an Organization that has entered into a written license agreement (“agreement”) to use the application, you must provide written notice at least 60 days before the expiration of the initial term, and any subsequent renewal term, as to your intention to modify or terminate your Services. To terminate your Services, you must submit a disconnection request to [email protected]. With proper notice, you may: a) enter into a new agreement effective on the first day after the expiration of the existing agreement; or b) cancel the existing agreement upon its expiration date and terminate your Services. If you fail to notify us of your intentions, the agreement will automatically renew at the same initial rates and for the same length of term as the expiring agreement.
If you are an Education Professional or authorized user for an Organization that has entered into an Application License Agreement with Pikmykid, this Agreement and your license to use the Application and Software and your right to use the Services, shall immediately terminate upon the earlier of the termination of the Application License Agreement, your termination of employment with such Organization, or your change of job functionality in such Organization such that your job function no longer requires use of the Services. If the license to your Organization is suspended for any reason, Pikmykid reserves the right to suspend your account for the period in which the Organization’s license is suspended.
If we become aware of any possible violations by you of this Agreement, we reserve the right to investigate such violations. In the event that we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have breached any portion of this Agreement, or have otherwise demonstrated inappropriate conduct, we reserve the right to (i) warn you via e-mail (to any e-mail address you have provided to us) that you have violated this Agreement; (ii) notify and/or fully cooperate with the proper law enforcement authorities for further action; and/or (iii) pursue any other action which we deem to be appropriate. If, as a result of the investigation, we believe that illegal activity has occurred, we reserve the right to refer the matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all applicable legal authorities. We are entitled, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, to disclose any data, content, or other information on or in the Services in our possession in connection with your use of the Services, to (i) comply with applicable laws, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to your requests for customer service; or (iv) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Pikmykid, its users or the public, and to comply with the requests of all law enforcement or other government officials, as we in our sole discretion believe to be necessary or appropriate. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you. You agree that all terminations shall be made in our sole discretion and that we shall not be liable to you or any third-party for enforcing this provision.
Upon termination of your account, your license to the Application and Software and right to use the Services will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which, by their nature, should survive termination, will survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, indemnity obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
Choice of Law
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Florida consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
Arbitration
Please read this Arbitration Provision carefully. It is part of your Agreement with Pikmykid and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
a) Applicability of Arbitration Provision. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for emergency injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any Pikmykid Services that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision applies to you and the Pikmykid Parties and their respective predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Services provided by Pikmykid.
b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party has the option to first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Pikmykid should be sent to: Pikmykid, Inc., 5005 W Laurel Street, Ste 204, Tampa, Florida. After the Notice is received, you and Pikmykid may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.
c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Agreement. Copies of the JAMS Arbitration Rules, instructions on how to initiate a JAMS arbitration demand and a list of JAMS resolution center locations are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/ or by calling 800-352-5267. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes in which the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in Tampa, Florida, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS rules.
d) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Pikmykid, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award individualized monetary damages, and to grant any individualized non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Pikmykid.
e) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Provision. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited than proceedings in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.
f) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, in the event that this subsection is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor Pikmykid are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a federal or state court servicing Hillsborough County, Florida.
g) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Provision other than Subsection (f) above are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Provision shall continue in full force and effect.
h) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision may be waived in writing by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Provision.
i) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Provision will survive the termination of your relationship with Pikmykid.
j) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Pikmykid may bring an individual action in small claims court.
k) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Provision.
l) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Provision permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts servicing Hillsborough County, Florida for such purpose.
m) Material Change. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary, in the event Pikmykid makes a material change to the Arbitration Provision in the future, such change will not apply to any dispute about which you had already given notice to Pikmykid at the time the change takes effect.
International Users
The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Pikmykid intends to introduce such Services in your country. Pikmykid makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations other than the United States of America. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
Notice
For all instances in which Pikmykid requires you to provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Pikmykid with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the e-mail address you provide to Pikmykid is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by this Agreement, Pikmykid’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Pikmykid at the following address: Pikmykid, Inc., 5005 W. Laurel Street, Ste 204, Tampa, Florida 33607. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Pikmykid by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
Force Majeure
Pikmykid shall not lose any rights hereunder or be liable to you for damages or losses on account of failure of performance by Pikmykid if the failure is the result of an Act of God (e.g., fire, flood, inclement weather, epidemic, or earthquake) war or act of terrorism, including without limitation, chemical or biological warfare, labor dispute, lockout, strike, embargo; governmental acts, orders, or restrictions; failure of suppliers or third persons; power or Internet outage; mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference); or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the Pikmykid’s reasonable control.
Export Control
You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by Pikmykid are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer any products, services or technology provided by Pikmykid, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.
Miscellaneous
The failure of either party to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You may not assign, transfer, subcontract, delegate, or sublicense this Agreement except with Pikmykid’s prior written consent. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. This Agreement and any subsequent versions of this Agreement posted to the Services will be deemed a writing signed by both parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Pikmykid in any way whatsoever.
No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

Special Provisions Related to the European Economic Area
The European Union recently implemented the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which applies to the collection and use of personal data (as defined by the GDPR) of individuals within the European Economic Area. Pikmykid is committed to collecting and using the personal data of individuals within the European Economic Area in full compliance with the GDPR if and when it applies.
We process your personal data on the basis of your consent. If you are an individual covered by the GDPR, you have the right to update your personal data if it is incorrect or out of date. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and to request access to, and a copy of, any personal data we hold about you. You also may request that we delete your personal data from our systems, but keep in mind that some residual information may remain in our systems such as in backup databases, access logs and other records. The GDPR permits us to retain personal data under certain circumstances, such as when we are required to do so to meet a legal obligation.
When we transfer your personal data across geographic borders, we are committed to doing so in a manner that meets the GDPR’s requirements for adequate security and appropriate safeguards, such as putting agreements in place with third parties to protect your personal data.
If you wish to exercise any of the foregoing rights, please email [email protected] with your request. We try to answer all emails promptly and endeavor to provide a response within the time periods required by applicable law. If you are an individual within the European Economic Area, you may make a complaint to a supervisory body for data protection matters (e.g., the National Data Protection Authority) or seek a remedy in your local courts if you believe your rights have been breached.
