Disclosures of Information

We do not sell or share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties (including but not limited to companies, authorities, institutions, or individuals) except as necessary to provide our services, when we have your explicit consent, or under the circumstances outlined below. Additionally, we do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Your information may be shared in the following situations:

  • We may share personal information with other users of our platform when required to facilitate our services. For instance, a student’s information may be shared with a parent, teacher, or school administrator to allow them to track academic progress and engagement within the platform.
  • We may disclose personal information to service providers and partners who assist in the operation of our platform, including payment processors, cloud storage providers, analytics tools, and customer support services. These third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use the information for the purpose of delivering services on our behalf.
  • We may disclose personal information to third-party service providers, contractors, or agents who assist in operating our website, managing our systems, processing payments, providing analytics, or offering customer support. These third parties are only granted access to the information necessary to perform their services and are bound by confidentiality agreements that prevent unauthorized use of your data.
  • We may disclose information in response to legal obligations, such as subpoenas, court orders, or requests from law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities. Such disclosures are made only when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the broader community.
  • Personal data may be shared to protect our legal interests, including fraud prevention, enforcing our Terms of Use, investigating security threats, and defending against legal claims or disputes.
  • If our business undergoes a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, personal information may be transferred to the new entity or successor organization. In such cases, we will take appropriate measures to ensure the continued protection of your data and inform you of any changes affecting your information.
  • Additionally, we may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not personally identify users. This data may be used for research, marketing analysis, service improvements, or industry reporting.

We are committed to safeguarding your information and ensuring that any disclosure is conducted transparently and in compliance with applicable laws and data protection policies. If you have concerns about how your information is shared, you may contact us for further clarification.

Data Protection & Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While no system can be completely secure, we are committed to safeguarding your data through a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security measures.

To ensure the protection of your personal information, we employ advanced security technologies, including encryption protocols, secure server configurations, and firewalls, to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. Additionally, we regularly monitor our systems for vulnerabilities and potential security threats.

Access to personal information is strictly limited to authorized personnel, contractors, and service providers who require the data to perform their job functions. These individuals are bound by confidentiality agreements and are subject to disciplinary action, including termination, if they misuse or improperly disclose user data.

We enforce secure authentication procedures, including password protection, multi-factor authentication, and session timeouts, to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to user accounts. We strongly advise users to maintain the confidentiality of their login credentials and to use strong, unique passwords.

To protect against potential breaches, we conduct regular security audits and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential threats. Our security protocols are continuously updated in response to emerging threats and evolving cybersecurity standards.

In the event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive response plan in place to contain the incident, assess its impact, and notify affected users as required by applicable laws and regulations. If a breach occurs, we will take immediate steps to secure data, inform users of any risks, and provide guidance on protective measures.

While we take all reasonable precautions to safeguard personal data, users should also take steps to protect their own information, including keeping login credentials secure, avoiding phishing scams, and ensuring that their devices are protected with up-to-date security software.

If you have any concerns about data security or believe your personal information may have been compromised, please contact us immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, improve functionality, and analyze interactions with our services. Only essential cookies are required for the platform to function, but you can manage or disable them through your browser settings. However, doing so may impact certain features and performance. You can manage your cookie preferences in your browser settings. (See our [Cookies Policy] for more details.)

Our Tracking

We utilize various tracking technologies, including cookies, web beacons, and similar tools, to enhance functionality, analyze usage, and personalize your experience on our platform. These technologies help us understand user behavior, improve our services, and deliver relevant content. You can manage your tracking preferences through your browser settings, but disabling certain tracking features may limit the functionality of our services.

You can control your browser’s settings regarding cookies by selecting “Internet Options” or “Preferences” in the menu bar of your browser. This will allow you to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have your browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether. However, because cookies allow you to easily navigate our Services without having to constantly log in using your User Name and password, we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Tracking by Our Advertisers

Our platform may work with third-party advertisers, analytics providers, and marketing partners who use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your online activities. This data helps deliver targeted advertisements, measure ad performance, and analyze trends across different websites and services.

These third parties may track your browsing behavior over time and across various websites or applications to tailor ads and content to your interests. We do not control their tracking methods, and their data collection and use are governed by their respective privacy policies.

If you prefer to limit targeted advertising, you can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, use opt-out tools provided by industry organizations, or adjust your ad preferences within the platforms you use. Keep in mind that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads—it only affects the personalization of the ads displayed to you.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Any updates to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website to keep you informed of any changes.

We may revise this policy from time to time, and we encourage you to review it periodically to stay aware of how we collect, use, and protect your information. If we make substantial changes that affect how we handle previously collected personal data, we will provide appropriate notice and offer you the opportunity to opt out of any materially different uses or disclosures.

Your Independent Relationship With Other Companies

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated or controlled by us. Any interactions, transactions, or engagements you have with these third parties are solely between you and the respective entity.

We do not endorse, monitor, or assume responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or business practices of any third-party services. If you choose to interact with third-party platforms, you do so at your own risk and should review their terms of service and privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
