Brick English may associate your device identifiers or other device information with your Brick English Account to help us provide consistent services across your devices.

Geolocation information. We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of where you are located in order to provide you with an improved experience.

The information we collect about you from third parties includes:

Facebook Connect, Google Login and the other chat apps. You have the option to log in to our site using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect and Google Login.

Information From Children

While Brick English is intended for users age 13 and over, if a child requests access to our website we accommodate them by offering a limited feature set and restricted website experience that removes certain features. We offer this restricted experience (“Child Account”) for accounts of all users below the age of 13 and for some users below the age of 16 where applicable under local law.

Brick English collects personal information about Child Accounts for distribution, sharing, or selling, as described in this Privacy Notice. To create an account, we require the user to submit a date of birth, username and email address.

We do not condition a child's participation or access to any activity on Brick English on the child providing any personally-identifying information or any more information than is reasonably necessary for that activity. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis, marketing and other commercial purposes. So, parents have the right to guide our service for safety.
