1. REVISIONS TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

ANY INFORMATION THAT IS COLLECTED VIA OUR SERVICE IS COVERED BY THE PRIVACY POLICY IN EFFECT AT THE TIME SUCH INFORMATION IS COLLECTED. WE MAY REVISE THIS PRIVACY POLICY FROM TIME TO TIME. IF WE MAKE ANY MATERIAL CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, INCLUDING ANY CHANGE THAT WE PROPOSE THAT WILL HAVE RETROACTIVE EFFECT, WE’LL NOTIFY YOU OF THOSE CHANGES BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE OR BY SENDING YOU AN EMAIL OR OTHER NOTIFICATION, AND WE’LL UPDATE THE “LAST UPDATED DATE” ABOVE TO INDICATE WHEN THOSE CHANGES WERE MADE.

2. COLLECTION & USE OF INFORMATION

a. Information Collected or Received from You (or Your Authorized Child)

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Service, to administer your (or your authorized child’s) use of the Service, and to enable you (or your authorized child) to enjoy and easily navigate our Service.

When you (or your authorized child) register to create an account with us (“Account”), we’ll collect certain information that can be used to identify or recognize you (or your authorized child) (“PII”).

Registering an Account will require you to submit an email address and the first name of the student who will access the Service. You must also confirm that the student who will access the Service is at least 13 years old. This information will be shared with us.

b. Information Collected Using Cookies and other Web Technologies

Like many website owners and operators, we use automated data collection tools such as Cookies and Web Beacons to collect certain information on our Site.

Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you (or your authorized child) access our Service. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you (or your authorized child) have logged in to the Service and to tell us how and when you (or your authorized child) interact with our Service. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Service and to customize and improve our Service. Session Cookies are deleted when you (or your authorized child) log off from the Service and close the browser. Persistent Cookies remain on your computer and will identify how you use the Service over time. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you (or your authorized child) may not be able to access all portions or features of the Service. Some third party Service providers that we engage (including third party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive.

Web Beacons” (also known as web bugs, pixel tags, or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Service for several purposes. For example, we may use Web Beacons to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Service, to monitor how many visitors view our Service, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).

c. Information Related to Use of the Service

Our servers automatically record certain information about how a person uses our Service (we refer to this information as “Log Data”), including both Account holders and non-Account holders (either, a “User”). Log Data may include information such as a User’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, user agent, browser type, operating system, the web page that a User was visiting before accessing our Service, the pages or features of our Service to which a User browsed and the time spent on those pages or features, search terms, the links on our Service that a User clicked on, and other statistics. We use Log Data to administer the Service and we analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize, and enhance our Service by expanding their features and functionality and tailoring them to our Users’ needs and preferences. We may use a person’s Log Data and other information to generate aggregate, non- identifying information about how our Service is used and use such aggregated information to understand and improve our Service and to administer use of the Service.

d. Information Sent by Your Mobile Device

We collect certain information that your (or your authorized child’s) mobile device sends when you (or your authorized child) use our Service, like a device identifier, user settings, and the operating system of your (or your authorized child’s) device, as well as information about your use of our Service while using the mobile device. We may use this information to provide the Service and to improve and personalize our Service for you (or your authorized child).

We will not share any of your (or your authorized child’s) PII that we have collected from or regarding you (or your authorized child) except as described below:
