Privacy Policy

Tales2Go knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Tales2Go website and using Tales2Go Software, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. 

Tales2Go, the Tales2Go.com website, software downloads and any related services (collectively, "Tales2Go Service"), targets teachers and parents as registered users and subscribers of its audio book and story service.  Personally identifiable information the Tales2Go Service seeks to collect is from teachers and parents, e.g., an email address which is used to name an account and allow users to connect multiple iOS devices to a single subscription.  Many end users of the Tales2Go Service are children under 13 years of age; an end user being someone who listens to the audio stories available on the service.  Typically a teacher or parent will play the Tales2Go Service for their kids on their iOS device, or download Tales2Go on an iOS device a teacher or parent has provided for a child.  Tales2Go does not target nor seek to collect any personal identifiable information from children 13 years or younger.

On an opt-in basis, the Tales2Go service will email a weekly newsletter to its users, which promotes the listening of various stories in the library.  From time to time, Tales2Go will also send out emails to all registered users for the purpose of notifying them of special offers or information about their account or the Tales2Go Service in general.  As any purchase of Tales2Go requires either a credit card or use of a user's iTunes account (which requires a password), Tales2Go believes itself to be in compliance with United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

What personally identifiable information do we collect, and how do we use it?

The information we collect currently includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Registration

If you want to access Tales2Go on up to five devices—on one account/subscription—you must provide Tales2Go with an e-mail address.  We use this registration information to operate our services and monitor user activity. We might ask for or collect additional registration information in the future.

Web servers automatically identify your device by its MAC address. We collect and use your MAC address to operate our services, track your usage of the site and to help diagnose problems with our server. 

IP Address
