We collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information.
Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”):
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Examples of PII may include your first and last name; you or your child’s school or district name; your address, city or state; your phone number; your email address; your grade or your ID number assigned by your school or district. When you engage in certain activities on our Services, such as registering for an account, contacting us for support or information about our Services, validating your ID number, submitting orders for our products our Services, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain PII.
Aggregate Information:
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon how you use our Services and what other websites may have directed you to us. This information, which is collected in a variety of different ways, is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that points to our Services you just came from, which URL you go to after visiting our Services, what browser or device type you are using, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and log reports generated by your use of our Services.
We do not collect any PII about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us or your school or district provides it to us for the purpose of enabling our Services for your use. You may be required to provide certain PII to us when you elect to use certain features available in our Services. These may include: (a) registering for an account or accessing certain features within our Services; (b) submitting product orders; or (c) submitting a support request or request for product information or (d) sending us an email or placing or receiving a telephone call to or from us.
We may use your PII to provide our Services, deliver product offerings to you, enhance the operation of our Services, improve our internal marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Service use, improve our product offerings, and customize our Service’s content, layout, and available features. We may use PII to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. Finally, we may use your PII to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.
We do not use information which you provide about third parties, such as students or parents, for any marketing or promotional purposes or share this information with others.
We may also collect certain Aggregate Information. For example, we may use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Site and to gather demographic information.
Depending on how you use our Services, we may store cookies on your computer in order to collect certain aggregate data about our users and to customize certain aspects of your specific user experience. A cookie is a small data text file which is stored on your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. Cookies may also include more personalized information, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server, and your first name to welcome you back to our website. We may use cookies to perform tasks such as: monitoring aggregate site usage metrics, storing and remembering your passwords (if you allow us to do so), storing account and advertising preferences that you have set, and personalizing the Services we make available to you. However, we do not use cookies to track your browsing behaviors. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some aspects of our Services may not function properly if you elect to disable cookies.
We will not sell, trade, or rent your PII to others.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide PII to the appropriate governmental authorities. In such cases, we will disclose PII upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our products or services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
To best provide our Services, and keep your information safe, we work with a few other companies. These companies only have access to the information they need to provide our Services. We assess the security and privacy policies of third-party service providers at least once per year to ensure they are capable of complying with our guidelines and practices for ensuring the confidentiality, security and integrity of student data, the transfer of student’s PII to a school or district contracted with us upon request or contract termination and deletion of such data.
We use some third-party service providers strictly on this public-facing website (http://schoolinfoapp.com/) and not within our full suite of Services. Here is a list of the essential third-party service providers we work with, if they are used only on this website or within our Services, why we use them and links to their respective privacy policies:
