Zoogle Play is a wildlife education game intended for students aged 13 and older and for supervised classroom use. This site is a mixed-audience service. We do not direct it exclusively to children under 13, but we recognize it may be accessed by users under 13 in classroom settings under teacher or parental supervision.
Zoogle Play collects no personal information from any user on our servers. The optional profile feature (username, email) stores data exclusively on your device using your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party. You may play as a guest with zero data of any kind collected.
Publicly available information (§312.4(d) — Item 8B): Zoogle Play does not enable any user — including users under 13 — to make their personal information publicly available to other users. Usernames and profile data are stored only on the individual user's device and are never displayed to, shared with, or accessible by any other user or by Zoogle's servers.
Because all profile data is stored only on your device, we use it solely to display your username and track your in-game progress within your browser. We do not use any information for advertising, profiling, marketing, or analytics. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties.
We do not collect personal information from children under 13. This site uses the FTC-recognized two-button neutral age screen method under COPPA §312.5. When creating an account, users are presented simultaneously with two equal-weight options — "I'm 13 or older" and "Under 13" — with no default selection and no way to reverse a selection. Clicking "Under 13" immediately blocks account creation; no data is collected, stored, or transmitted.
• Users under 13 may play as guests with full game access and zero data collection.
• No account, no username, no email, and no personal information of any kind is collected from users who do not pass the age screen.
• Because no personal information is collected from children under 13, the direct parental notice requirements of 16 CFR §312.4(c) do not apply — there is no collection event that would trigger them. (Item 7, NCUA Checklist — N/A)
• Because no personal information from children under 13 is disclosed to third parties, the parental consent-to-disclosure requirements of §312.5(a) do not apply. (Item 8Eii — N/A)
• Parents or guardians may delete any locally stored game progress at any time by clearing browser localStorage in browser settings.
• Parents or guardians may refuse further collection by having the child play as a guest — no information is collected in guest mode.
• We do not condition a child's participation on providing any personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary. Guest play requires no information whatsoever.
When Zoogle Play is used in a school or classroom setting, the teacher or school administrator acts as the parent's agent and may authorize student use of the platform. Schools deploying this tool represent that they have obtained appropriate parental consent as required. Contact schools@zoogle.com for school-use authorization forms.
Participation in Zoogle Play is never conditioned on a user providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary. All games are fully playable in guest mode without providing any name, email, or other information.
Under the 2025 COPPA Rule amendments (effective April 22, 2026), operators must retain children's personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for a specific stated purpose — indefinite retention is prohibited. Zoogle Play's retention practices are as follows:
• Profile data (username, email, game progress) — stored exclusively in browser localStorage on the user's device. The operator retains no copy. Data persists until the user deletes their account via the in-app "Delete Account" feature, or until the user clears browser storage. There is no server-side retention period because there is no server-side storage.
• Date of birth (age screen) — collected at account creation solely to verify eligibility. Discarded immediately within the same function call. Retention period: zero — never stored.
• Server/access logs — standard web server logs (IP address, page requests) are retained for up to 90 days for security and operational purposes, then deleted.
• Inactive accounts — upon migration to a server-side database, accounts with no login activity for 24 months will be automatically deleted.
Targeted advertising — N/A: Zoogle Play does not engage in targeted advertising to any user, including children. No behavioral data is collected, no advertising profiles are built, and no personal information is disclosed to advertising networks. The 2025 COPPA amendment requiring separate verifiable parental consent before disclosing children's personal information for targeted advertising or other purposes is therefore not triggered.
Third-party disclosures — structured notice (2025 amendment requirement):
The following third-party services load resources on this page. No personal information collected from users is disclosed to any of them:
• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) — Purpose: typography. Data received: IP address, browser type (standard HTTP request only). Personal information shared by Zoogle: none.
• Font Awesome (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) — Purpose: icon library. Data received: IP address, browser type. Personal information shared by Zoogle: none.
• No analytics, tracking, or advertising services are used. No cookies are set by Zoogle Play.
Because no personal information is transmitted to any third party, the §312.8 contractual confidentiality requirement for third-party recipients is not triggered on this property.
Any link leaving this site will trigger an exit warning before navigation. Zoogle is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites.
If you believe your child under 13 has created a profile on this site without your consent, you may contact us at support@zoogle.com or (212) 226-6400. We will respond within 30 days.
Formal Parental Review Procedure (§312.6(a)(3) — Item 12C): To request a description of, or to review, any personal information associated with your child's use of this site: (1) Email support@zoogle.com with the subject line "COPPA Parental Review Request"; (2) include the username your child uses on this site (if known); (3) include your name and contact information; (4) we will respond within 30 days with a description of any information stored locally and instructions for deletion.
Parental Identity Verification (§312.6(a)(3) — Item 12D): To protect against unauthorized requests, we verify that a person requesting information about a child's account is the child's parent or legal guardian. Upon receiving a request, we will ask you to confirm: (a) the username and/or email address associated with the child's account; and (b) your relationship to the child (parent or legal guardian). For sensitive requests (such as requests to view stored data), we may ask you to provide a signed statement of parental authority. We do not require more verification than is reasonably necessary to protect the child's privacy.
Because we store no server-side data, deletion of profile data is also accomplished directly by the parent through the browser: open browser settings → clear localStorage, or use the in-app "Delete Account" feature in the profile panel.
The 2025 COPPA Rule amendment (effective April 22, 2026) requires operators to establish, implement, and maintain a written children's personal information security program with safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, the operator's size, and the nature of activities. Turtle Pond Publications, LLC maintains a written information security policy governing this site. Key safeguards include:
• All profile data is stored exclusively on the user's device (localStorage) and is never transmitted to our servers — eliminating server-side breach risk entirely.
• No plaintext passwords are stored. A non-reversible session token is retained locally for login matching only.
• The date of birth used for age verification is discarded immediately after the check — never logged, stored, or accessible after the function returns.
• No children's personal information (as defined by 16 CFR §312.2, including the 2025 expansion covering biometric identifiers and government-issued identifiers) is collected, processed, or retained by this service. We do not collect fingerprints, facial templates, voiceprints, eye patterns, government IDs, passport numbers, or state identification numbers from any user.
• Mobile telephone numbers are classified as online contact information under the 2025 amendment and are not collected by this service.
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes — defined as any change to the types of information collected, how information is used, or with whom information is shared — will be communicated to registered users via in-app notice or email (if an email address is on file) before taking effect. For users under 13, any material change that would affect how data is collected or used will require renewed parental consent before it takes effect, consistent with §312.5(a). Non-material changes (such as clarifications of existing practices or formatting updates) take effect upon posting.
Zoogle Play is a mixed-audience service. Under the FTC's multi-factor test, whether a site is "directed to children" depends on subject matter, visual content, animated characters, language, the nature of the content, and empirical audience data. Zoogle Play presents wildlife educational games appropriate for all ages; its primary intended audience is students aged 13 and older and supervised classroom users. We apply an age screen at the point of account creation, redirect under-13 users to guest mode without data collection, and do not engage in targeted advertising. [Note to operator: a written legal opinion confirming your directed-to-children classification is recommended before publication. Contact a COPPA-experienced attorney.]
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because Zoogle Play does not engage in behavioral tracking, cross-site tracking, or targeted advertising for any user, the presence or absence of a DNT signal does not change our data practices — we do not track users behaviorally with or without a DNT signal.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all assets, information held about users (including any server-side data implemented in the future) may be transferred to a successor entity. We will notify registered users of any such transfer via in-app notice or email before the transfer takes effect. Any successor will be bound by this Privacy Policy or will provide users with a new policy and an opportunity to opt out before any material change in how their information is used.
