We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what information may be collected while you use our Services, how we use this information and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third-parties.  This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions of Use posted on our Website sets forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Services.  Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions. 

We generally keep this Privacy Policy posted on our Website, and you should review it frequently, as we reserve the right to change it from time to time without prior notice to you.  Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy.  We will not use your Personally Identifiable Information in a manner materially different than what was stated at the time it was collected.

A. INFORMATION WE COLLECT OUR WEBSITE TYPICALLY COLLECTS TWO (2) KINDS OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU: (A) INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE THAT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIES YOU; AND (B) INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT. 

1. Types of Information We Collect: 

We consider such Personally Identifiable Information sensitive in nature. You, a parent or legal guardian, and/or a teacher or other school administrator, will need to submit Personal Information to access the Website and use Service. The submission of information on our Website, or the creation of an account, constitutes consent to these Privacy Policies and our Terms and Conditions of Use of Service, and to our collection of such information. We collect Personally Identifiable Information when users: create an account for our Services or otherwise use the Website; subscribe to our newsletter or other email correspondence; participate in feedback forms and questionnaires; or, receive customer or technical support. 

Personal Information is collected only for lawful internal purposes to support the functioning of our Services.  

2. Personally Identifiable Information: Our definition of “Personally Identifiable Information” includes any information that can be used to identify and contact an individual such as name, email address, screen name, mailing address, phone number, card information, and purchase history that may be used to specifically identify or contact you.   As a general policy, we do not automatically collect or store your personally identifiable information when you visit our Website alone, aside from the information used to create, verify, and protect your account.  In order to use our Services, we may request, allow, or otherwise provide you an opportunity to submit your personally identifiable information in connection with a feature, program, promotion, purchase, or some other aspect of our Services. Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity, realize a benefit we may offer, or gain access to certain content on our Services. 

3. Non-Personal Information: Our definition of non-personal information is any information that does not personally identify you.  Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous.  Our Website, , our third-party service providers, or both may obtain nonpersonal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information.  Our Website, our third-party service providers, or both may also automatically collect certain non-personal information from you when you access our Website. 

B. HOW WE USE & SHARE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED 

1. Personally Identifiable Information: 

The personally identifiable information you submit to us is generally used for internal purposes, to allow for the functionality of the Services, carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries, better serve you, or are in other ways naturally associated with the circumstances in which you provided the information.  We may also use this information to later contact you for a variety of reasons, such as customer service, to provide you with information or services or process transactions that you have requested or agreed to receive, to provide you with marketing or promotional information for our products or those of other affiliated companies (“Affiliated Companies”), to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared with us via our Website, or with regard to your use of our Services and, in our discretion, changes our Services and/or our policies, for internal business purposes, or for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.  You may opt-out from receiving future promotional information from us, or direct that we not share your information in the future with any affiliated companies or third-parties for their direct marketing purposes, as set forth below in Section H. 

In certain instances, we may also share your personally identifiable information with our contractors, third-party vendors, or Affiliated Companies performing functions on our behalf– e.g., vendors that store data, process credit card orders, advertise, administer our promotions, provide us marketing or promotional assistance, analyze our data, assist us with customer service, etc.  Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions of Use, or as set forth when you submit the information, your personally identifiable information will not be shared or sold to third-parties without your consent. We may use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us to send messages to you in response to your request to perform an activity in connection with your use of our Services.  

We may combine Personally Identifiable Information (provided to us by you, the parent, teacher, school administrator, or legal guardian) with non-personal information that we have collected (including from your use of the Website) in a manner such that the endproduct does not personally identify you or your child. We may also make your Personally Identifiable Information non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (e.g., aggregating your Personal Information with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as depersonalizing your information. We refer to this de-personalized information as “Aggregated Data”.  

You acknowledge and agree that we can use Aggregated Data to create and develop analytical and statistical data about our Services, to operate and enhance the Service, and to promote and market our other services. 

2. Non-Personal Information: In addition to any personally identifiable information or other information that you choose to provide to us on the Website, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies, now and hereafter devised, that automatically collect certain website usage information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.  This information may include browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, the source of the request, the preceding page view, and other similar information.  We may use this usage information for a variety of purposes, including to enhance or otherwise improve our Services.  In addition, we may also collect your IP address or some other unique identifier for the particular device you use to access the Internet, as applicable (“Device Identifier”).  A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Computer, and we may identify you or your device by its Device Identifier.  When analyzed, usage information helps us determine how our Services are used, such as what types of visitors arrive at the Website, what type of content is most popular, what type of content you may find most relevant and what type of visitors are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising.  We may associate your Device Identifier or website usage information with the personally identifiable information you provide, but we will treat the combined information as personally identifiable information.  Website usage information may be collected using various methods, such as the following: 

• Web Beacons. “Web Beacons” means the small graphic images or other web programming code called (also known as “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included in our web pages and e-mail messages.  Web Beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a Web Beacon.   Web Beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Website, to monitor how users navigate the Website, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

• Information collected through passive means may be non-identifying or may be associated with you.  In the latter case, it will be treated as personally identifiable information.  

• We use non-personal information in a variety of ways, including to help analyze Website traffic, understand customer needs and trends, carry out targeted promotional activities and to improve our Services.  We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others.  We may share your non-personal information with our affiliated companies and third-parties to achieve these objectives and others, but remember that aggregate information is anonymous information that does not personally identify you.  We may provide our analysis and certain non-personal information to third-parties 

(who may in turn use this information to provide advertisements tailored to your interests), but this will not involve disclosing any of your personally identifiable information.

4. Information Third-parties Provide About You We also may, from time to time, supplement the information we collect with outside records from third-parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.  We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through our Website.  In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any personal identifiable information received, unless otherwise specifically disclosed by us at the time you provide your personally identifiable information.

2. Transfer of Assets: As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets.  If another entity acquires us or all (or substantially all) of our assets, the personally identifiable information and non-personal information we have about you will be transferred to and used by this acquiring entity, though we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your preferences are followed.  Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered an asset of ours and as such may be sold or transferred to third-parties. 

3. Other: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose any personally identifiable or non-personal information about you if we are required to do so by law, with respect to notices and counter-notices pursuant to our DMCA notice and takedown policy and procedures and/or if we believe that such action is necessary to: (a) fulfill a government request; (b) conform with the requirements of the law or legal process; (c) protect or defend our legal rights or property, our Website, or other users; or (d) in an emergency to protect the health and safety of our Service’s users or the general public.  

4. Third-Party Ad Server Networks: Our Services may use third-parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Website may use traffic measurement services to analyze traffic or usage.  Network advertisers are third-parties that display advertisements based on your visits to the Website and other websites you have visited.  Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested.  Our Service’s Third-Party ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own Cookies and other technologies on your Computer and track certain behavioral information regarding users of your Computer or Mobile Device via a Device Identifier.  These third-party cookies and other technologies are set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c) understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you.  Note that any images (or any other parts of a web page) served by thirdparties in association with Third-Party cookies may serve as web beacons, which enable third-parties to carry out the previously described activities.  Third-Party Cookies, Web Beacons, and other Third-Party technologies are governed by each Third-Party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.  While we may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements on the Website, you may wish to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp, which provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including the “optout” procedures of NAI members.  Opting out of one or more NAI members only means that those NAI members will no longer be able to deliver targeted content and/or ads to you, which will affect this and other web sites, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads.  Also, if your browsers are configured to reject Cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.  Additional information is available on the NAI’s website accessible by the above link.

Upon a parent’s request, we will also prohibit a child from continuing to use our app or services. 

E. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE We have implemented security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.  Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and are not responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personally identifiable information.  In the unfortunate event that your “Personally Identifiable Information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is compromised, we may notify you by e-mail (at our sole and absolute discretion) to the last e-mail address you have provided us in the most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system as well as for the legitimate needs of law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation.  From time to time we evaluate new technology for protecting information, and when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.

F. OTHER SITES/LINKS
