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. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO ANY CHANGES WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE, IMMEDIATELY STOP USING OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OUR SERVICES.

2.2 – Types of Information We Collect. We consider such Personally Identifiable Information sensitive in nature. You will need to submit Personal Information to access the Website and use Services. 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.

2.3 – 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, however, 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.

2.4 – Our Use of Personally Identifiable Information. If you request it, we will use your Personally Identifiable information in conjunction with content that you submit through our Website. By submitting any items or content through our Services, you grant us the right to use your Personally Identifying Information to promote your Submitted Items. All 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, promote your content on your behalf, 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 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 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 end-product does not personally identify you. 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 de- personalizing your information. We refer to this de-personalized information as “Aggregated Data”.

2.5 – 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, Services, and third-party service providers, may obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. Our Website, Services, and third-party service providers, may also automatically collect certain non-personal information from you when you access our Website. In addition to any personally identifiable information or other information that you choose to provide to us on the Website, or through our Services, 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 “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included in our web pages and e-mail messages.

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.

A Flash Cookie is a data file placed on a Computer via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built- in to or downloaded by you to your Computer. While they are harmless, depending on your browser, these Cookies may not be deleted when your Cookies are deleted or disabled and, in some instances, they may cause your cookies to reappear in your browser. Please check your browser to determine where these types of Cookies are stored and how they may be deleted or disabled.

2.6 – Information from or Regarding Other Parties. If you send someone else a communication from our Website, such as sending content to a friend, the information you provide (names, e-mail addresses, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when you use any send-to-a-friend functionality through our Services, your e-mail address may be included in the communications sent. 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.

2.7 – Third-Party Service Providers. We will utilize other Third-Party service providers (“Other Service Provider(s)”). By using the Website, and our Services, you hereby consent and authorize us to delegate the authorizations and share the information you provide to us with Other Service Provider(s) to the extent required to provide the services to you.

Our websites, products, Services may contain links to other third-party websites, products, and services. We may also use or offer products or services from third-parties − for example, a third‐party smart phone app or operating system.

We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third-parties.

2.8 – 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 third-parties 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 “opt- out” 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.

2.9 – Third-Party Applications and Links. Third-party applications may be available via the Website or our Services. The owners of these applications may collect personally identifiable information from you and may have their own policies and practices.

Our Services may link to or contain links to other third-party websites that we do not control or maintain, such as in connection with purchasing products referenced on our Website and banner advertisements. We are not responsible for how third-parties, or their applications, use your personally identifiable information, or if you select their links or use their applications.

2.10 – E-mail Communications. If you send us an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference.

You may “opt out” of receiving future commercial e-mail communications from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link or following the other instructions included at the bottom of most e-mails we send, provided, however, we reserve the right to send you transactional e-mails such as customer service communications.

2.11 – 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.

From time to time we evaluate new technology for protecting information, and when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.
