COPPA Compliance

How Champion MVP complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

The short version

We do not collect personal information from children.

Champion MVP is a store and an information site for the grown-ups who buy for kids — parents, teachers, coaches, librarians, and youth program leaders. Children do not have accounts here, do not log in, and are never asked for their name, email, or anything else.

Our free games and videos ask nothing of a child either. No sign-up. No profile. No advertising. No tracking.

If you are a parent and you want to know what we hold, change it, or delete it, email info@championmvp.com and we will handle it within 30 days. It is free and we will never treat you differently for asking.

1. What COPPA is and why this page exists

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and the Federal Trade Commission’s COPPA Rule at 16 C.F.R. Part 312, govern how online services collect personal information from children under 13. The Rule was substantially amended, published at 90 FR 16918 on April 22, 2025, and reached full compliance on April 22, 2026. Everything on this page reflects the amended Rule as it stands today.

We publish this page separately from our Privacy Policy because parents, school technology directors, and district procurement officers ask a specific set of questions, and they deserve a direct answer in one place rather than having to read a legal document to find it.

2. How our sites are classified, stated plainly

championmvp.com is directed to adults. It is a marketing and commerce site. The people it is built for, marketed to, and sold to are parents, teachers, coaches, librarians, youth program leaders, school and district administrators, and business partners. Purchasing, contact forms, email signup, and licensing are all adult functions. There is no child account, no child login, and no interactive feature here for a child to use.

The fact that we sell products for children does not make the site directed to children. The buyer is an adult, and the site is built and operated that way.

games.sportsmedia.us is directed to children, and we treat it under full COPPA. Our free browser games are made for kids. That surface gets the strictest treatment we can apply, described in Section 4.

Our YouTube children’s content is designated “Made for Kids.” That designation disables personalized advertising, comments, notifications, and live chat on those videos. We apply it deliberately, not by default.

We tell you the classification of each surface because a company that is vague about this is usually being vague on purpose.

3. What we collect on championmvp.com

We collect personal information here only from adults, and only when an adult chooses to give it: name, email address, and optionally a phone number through the contact form and email list; organization details for a licensing, bulk order, or sponsorship inquiry; and billing and shipping information if you place an order. Payment card details go directly to our payment processor and are not stored on our systems.

You must be 18 or older to submit information to us, place an order, or enter into any agreement. We do not knowingly accept information from anyone under 18 on this site.

If a child under 13 submits information to us anyway — it happens, children use their parents’ devices — we will delete it as soon as we become aware, and we will not use it for anything in the meantime. If you believe your child has sent us information, email info@championmvp.com and we will delete it promptly and confirm to you in writing.

4. What we collect from children: nothing

On our games, our free videos, and any children’s material we publish:

No accounts. No logins, no usernames, no passwords, no profiles.
No names, emails, addresses, or phone numbers. We never ask, and there is nowhere to enter them.
No photographs, video, or voice. No feature we operate uses a camera or a microphone.
No precise geolocation. From anyone, of any age.
No leaderboards, chat, comments, uploads, or messaging. There is no way for a child to publish anything and no way for an adult to contact a child through our services.
No advertising. No ad network, no ad SDK, no behavioral advertising, no advertising cookies.
No third-party tracking. No Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no social share trackers, no data broker tags anywhere in the children’s areas.

We do not condition a child’s use of any game or activity on giving us information. There is nothing to give. This reflects 16 C.F.R. § 312.7, which prohibits requiring a child to disclose more than is reasonably necessary to participate.

Persistent identifiers and the internal operations exception

Every website’s servers process some technical data when a browser requests a page — an IP address, a session cookie. Under the COPPA Rule a persistent identifier counts as personal information, so we want to be precise about this rather than skip it.

We rely on the exception at 16 C.F.R. § 312.5(c)(7), which permits collecting a persistent identifier without parental consent where it is used solely to support the internal operations of the service.

The specific internal operations we use them for, exhaustively: delivering pages and game files and diagnosing errors; performing the network communications required to serve the site; protecting security and integrity against attack, abuse, and fraud; remembering non-identifying display preferences within a single session, such as sound on or off; and complying with legal obligations.

We do not use them for behavioral advertising, contextual advertising, frequency capping, audience measurement, profiling, personalization based on past behavior, or any cross-site or cross-service tracking.

How we make sure they cannot be used for anything else, as § 312.4(d)(3) requires us to explain: we deploy no third-party advertising network, ad SDK, data broker tag, social pixel, or behavioral analytics service anywhere in the children’s areas, so no technical pathway exists for an identifier to reach such a party. Any analytics we run is self-hosted on our own infrastructure, sets no persistent identifier, stores no personal data, and anonymizes IP addresses at collection. Embedded video runs in privacy-enhanced no-cookie mode or is self-hosted. Server access logs containing IP addresses are deleted within 30 days and used only for security and error diagnosis. And we review the code deployed to children’s areas before each release specifically to confirm no third-party tag has been introduced.

5. No engagement mechanics

Beyond what COPPA requires, and because several states now regulate this directly:

We do not use autoplay chains, infinite scroll, streaks, engagement-based push notifications, or any design feature intended to significantly increase, sustain, or extend a child’s time on our services. An episode ends and it ends. A game does not nag a child to come back.

If a child closes the tablet and goes outside to try what they just watched, our product worked correctly.

6. Your rights as a parent

Even though we collect nothing from children, you have these rights and we will honor them:

Review. Ask whether we hold any information relating to your child, and review it.
Refuse further collection or use. Direct us to stop.
Delete. Direct us to delete anything we hold.
Consent separately. Should we ever collect a child’s personal information, you will be able to consent to collection and use without consenting to disclosure to any third party — and we will not condition your child’s access on that second consent, as § 312.5(a)(2) requires.

To exercise any of these: email info@championmvp.com with the subject line “Parental Request,” write to the address in Section 10, or call (970) 394-3339.

Before acting on a review or deletion request we will take reasonable steps to verify you are the child’s parent or guardian — usually by confirming from an email address already associated with the inquiry. We will not ask for more information than verification requires, and we delete verification material as soon as verification is complete.

We respond within 30 days. It is free. We will never treat you or your child differently for asking.

7. If our practices ever change

If we introduce any feature that collects personal information from a child — saved game progress, a leaderboard, a way to submit artwork — we will not launch it until we have obtained verifiable parental consent under § 312.5, provided direct notice to parents under § 312.4(c), and updated this page and the Privacy Policy.

If we ever make a material change affecting information previously collected from a child, we will obtain new verifiable parental consent before applying it. We will not change the rules retroactively on data a parent already trusted us with.

8. Our internal safeguards

A written children’s information security program, as required by § 312.8(b), with a designated coordinator, risk assessments performed at least annually, safeguards sized to the sensitivity and volume of data at risk, regular testing, and at least annual review and modification.
A written data retention policy, as required by § 312.10, stating why we collect each category, the business need for keeping it, and when it is deleted. We do not retain personal information indefinitely. The published schedule is in Privacy Policy § 7.
Written vendor assurances. Before any service provider touches personal information we take reasonable steps to confirm it can maintain confidentiality, security, and integrity, and we obtain written assurances that it will, as § 312.8(c) requires.

9. For school and district technology directors

This section is for the person who has to sign off before a teacher can use our material. Forward this page — it is written to be forwarded.

We collect no student personal information. Our books, printable lesson packs, coloring and puzzle materials, and free videos involve no student accounts, no student logins, no rosters, and no data collection of any kind. There is no student data flowing to us to protect.

Our free browser games collect nothing. No account, no score submission, no analytics identifier, no third-party code.

We are not an “operator” under most state student privacy statutes with respect to our print and PDF products, because those laws generally reach online services that collect student information. Where a state statute reaches any contractor receiving student data from a district regardless of medium — Arkansas and Utah are the clearest examples — we comply and will execute the required terms.

We execute your state’s data privacy agreement. That includes the state-specific addenda used in Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, California, and New York, and the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement where your alliance uses it. Send us your form.

We know your contract may be published. Colorado, Connecticut, and Illinois require districts to post executed vendor agreements publicly. We plan for that.

FERPA and PPRA. We operate as a school official with a legitimate educational interest where a district designates us as one, use information only for the contracted purpose, do not redisclose, and return or destroy on request. If any material we supply contains a student survey or self-assessment instrument, tell us — several states, including Indiana, require parental consent and public posting for those, and we will work to your requirements.

Documentation available on request: W-9, certificate of insurance, CAGE code and UEI (we are a registered federal contractor), accessibility information, and our current data privacy documentation package. Email info@championmvp.com.
