Inmost instances we expect licensed individual accounts will be used by children under the age of 18, and we strongly encourage you to not use the child’s full name but rather to use a nickname or a generic identifier such as “Student1”,etc. for each account. Do not use a name which would be identifiable as the student by someone outside of your program or use case. We store these individual account names and the passwords for them, but do not ask for, collect, or store any other info on these accounts other than tracking progress through the game for purposes of reporting to the administrator.
