Important information and who we are

This Cookie Policy gives you information about how Prompt collects and uses your personal data through your use of this our mobile application and/or website (together the “Prompt Platform”), including any data you may provide when you register with us or sign up to our newsletter. 

The Prompt Platform is intended for use by children and both the Prompt Platform and this Cookie Policy has been designed to take into account the UK Information Commissioner’s Children’s Code. Where we ask for consent to process your personal information, this consent must be given by the relevant parent or guardian.

  • Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

5. Third-party links 

The Prompt Platform may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications.

When you leave our Prompt Platform, we encourage you to read the Cookie Policy of every website you visit.

It’s simple: with the Prompt app, every time your child opens up their phone, they’ll have to do a teeny-tiny piece of homework before they can navigate to where they actually wanted to go. The result? Up to 150 learning opportunities, every single day. Imagine the difference this will make to their grades, if your child spends just a few extra minutes every day over the school year focussing on strategic learning, and a little less time scrolling through their phones. The sooner you engage your child with Prompt, the more they will learn!
