1. Introduction
Welcome to the Orbit of Success online platform.
This website is operated by the Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation “Center for Additional Professional Education and Cultural Initiatives ‘Orbit of Success’” (Russia).
The platform uses Moodle to provide a secure digital environment for international cultural exchange, communication and collaborative activities between children and educators.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and how we protect the privacy of our participants.
2. Information We Collect
When you use our Moodle platform, we may process:
- Your first name, username and assigned user role.
- Your country and participating organisation, where required.
- Information included in your user profile.
- Materials you upload, including photographs, videos, drawings and written work.
- Messages, comments and contributions you make within the platform.
- Technical information, such as login times, IP addresses and activity logs.
Children are not required to provide personal telephone numbers or personal email addresses to participate in the project.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Create and manage user accounts.
- Provide access to project activities and materials.
- Enable communication between participants and educators.
- Organise and supervise international cultural exchange.
- Create the shared digital Friendship Book.
- Maintain the security and proper operation of the platform.
We do not sell personal information or use children's data for targeted advertising.
4. Children's Privacy and Parental Consent
Our project involves children, and their privacy is particularly important.
Children may access the platform only through accounts arranged by authorised project coordinators and with the required permission of a parent or legal guardian.
Parents or guardians must receive information about the project and provide the necessary consent before their child's personal data is processed.
Separate permission is required before identifiable photographs, videos or other contributions are published outside the closed platform.
5. Access to Information
The Moodle platform is intended for registered project participants and authorised adults.
Depending on their assigned permissions:
- Children may access their project activities and approved shared materials.
- Teachers and coordinators may review contributions and supervise communication.
- Administrators may access information necessary to manage and secure the platform.
Participants must not share another child's personal information, photographs or recordings outside the project without permission.
6. Sharing Information Between Russia and India
Children Bringing the World Together is an international project involving participants from Russia and India.
Approved project materials may be accessible to authorised participants and educators in both countries.
We share only information necessary for the project's activities and administration.
The project partners will confirm appropriate arrangements for international access to personal information and compliance with applicable data protection requirements.
7. Cookies and Technical Information
Moodle uses cookies and similar technical mechanisms to maintain user sessions and support the operation of the website.
The platform may also maintain technical logs to support security, troubleshooting and administration.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using certain platform features.
8. Photos, Videos and Creative Work
Children may upload creative materials as part of project activities.
These materials are intended for use within the closed project environment unless separate permission has been obtained for wider publication.
We will not intentionally publish a child's identifiable photograph, video or voice recording on a public website or social media account without the necessary permission.
Participants must not independently download, record or redistribute materials featuring other children without authorisation.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse and disclosure.
Access to information is restricted according to users' roles and responsibilities.
Participants should keep their login credentials private and report any suspected security issue to a project coordinator.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary for the operation of the platform, the project and applicable legal obligations.
Parents or legal guardians may contact us to request information about their child's personal data, correction of inaccurate information or deletion where applicable.
Requests will be reviewed in accordance with applicable law.
11. External Services
Some project activities may involve external video-conferencing platforms or links to third-party services.
Where such services are used, participants will be informed of the relevant arrangements. External services may have their own privacy policies.
The use of an external service does not automatically authorise public sharing of children's personal information.
