Hi Simon, The developers selected the Credly platform specifically so that the OSM community is not in the business of collecting and managing personally identifiable information (PII). Also, we're doing two things to insure GeoBadges users understand terms and conditions of the badging process:
1. We're adding language to the 'About' section of the site to clarify the relationship: *"**For GeoBadge earning and issuing, we work with the Credly.com platform. Credly manages all earner-level data and security. By partnering with Credly, we can help earners increase the impact of their achievements by sharing it on social media platforms and connecting to other digital badging projects that also use Credly. To learn more about Credly, visit credly.com <http://credly.com/>.* *GeoBadges complies with the COPPA and DCMA laws of the United States. Only individuals age 13+ are eligible to earn GeoBadges. If any content on the site seems inappropriate or out of compliance, please contact us immediately at geobad...@americangeo.org <geobad...@americangeo.org>."* 2. We're removing the Grade 3-5 option, since clearly that would be marketed to under 13. Thanks for your concern. Hope I've addressed your question.
