Privacy Policy

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• your name;
• email address;
• country or region;
• information you provide through forms, surveys or correspondence;
• your interest in Proto, beta testing or related updates;
• marketing preferences; and
• technical information associated with your use of our website, such as browser, device, IP address and website usage information where this is collected by our website systems.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it.

Our current website, waitlist and pre-launch registration processes are intended for parents, guardians and other adults.

Children should not submit personal information directly through the website.

Proto is being designed as a family education platform and will include specific protections for children's personal information before the product enters beta or commercial use.

We may use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries;
• administer our waitlist or beta-interest list;
• send Proto news and updates where you have requested them;
• understand interest in Proto and improve our website and communications;
• operate, maintain and secure our website;
• prevent misuse or security incidents; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

If you ask to receive Proto news or updates, we may send you marketing communications.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in our emails or by contacting us.

Where appropriate, consent to receive marketing communications will be kept separate from other interactions with Proto. This is consistent with Proto's broader approach of separating different consent purposes rather than bundling them together.

We use third-party service providers to help operate our website and communications.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf and are expected to use it only for authorised purposes and subject to appropriate privacy and security requirements.

A current list of key service providers that process personal information on our behalf is available on our Third-Party Services & Subprocessors page.

Proto operates internationally and some of our service providers may process information in countries other than your own.

Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas processing is subject to appropriate privacy, contractual and security safeguards.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.

For example, you may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time, and information no longer required for our pre-launch activities will be deleted or appropriately de-identified in accordance with our retention practices.

We use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.

No website or online service can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to withdraw consent to certain uses.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Proto uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies to operate and secure our website. We may also use optional analytics, advertising and media technologies, including services provided by Google and Meta, to understand website usage, measure advertising performance and provide relevant communications.

Where required, non-essential technologies are disabled until you provide consent. You can accept, reject or manage optional technologies through our cookie controls and can change your preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings link in our website footer.

Information collected through advertising technologies may include device and browser information, IP address, cookie or advertising identifiers, website interactions and conversion events.

Proto does not use children's educational information for targeted advertising.

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services and legal obligations change.

We will update the "Last updated" date when changes are made.

Before Proto's education platform enters beta or commercial use, this Privacy Policy will be expanded to explain how parent and learner information is collected, used, stored and protected.
