Privacy Policy

CA receives certain information, which we receive pursuant to the school official exception under FERPA, from its school district customers to enable students to use i-Ready. The following information is generally provided to CA for each student user of i-Ready:

• student first and last name;

• date of birth;

• gender;

• ethnicity or race;

• student identification number;

• student school or class enrollment;

• student grade level;

• teacher name;

• English language learner status, and;

• eligibility for free- or reduced-price lunch. Note that some of these data fields (such as ethnicity or race, ELL status, eligibility for free or reducedprice lunch) are not required for the use of i-Ready. However, where districts would like reporting capabilities based on these categories, they may choose to provide this information to CA.

To further demonstrate its commitment to protecting the privacy of student information, CA has taken the Student Privacy Pledge https://studentprivacypledge.org/. This means that, among other things, CA has pledged not to sell student information, not to engage in behaviorally targeted advertising, and to use collected data for authorized purposes only. CA only uses collected student data for the purposes described in the “How We Use Student Data” paragraph.

CA collects and uses “de-identified student data”, which refers to data generated from usage of i-Ready from which all personally identifiable information has been removed or obscured so that it does not identify individual students and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify individual students.

• CA uses this aggregated, de-identified student data for core product functionality to make iReady a more effective, adaptive product.

• CA uses de-identified data to provide services to our educator customers. We sometimes use third party software tools (such as Salesforce or Domo) to enhance the level of service we provide. However, we only use de-identified data with these tools.

• CA also uses de-identified student and educator data for research and development purposes. This might include research analyzing the efficacy of i-Ready or development efforts related to our product and service offerings. We also conduct research using de-identified data for studies focused on improving educational systems and student outcomes more generally.

• While some of this research work is done internally, CA does share de-identified student data with trusted third-party research partners as part of these research initiatives.

• CA does not attempt to re-identify de-identified student data and takes reasonable measures to protect against the re-identification of its de-identified student data.

• Our research partners are prohibited from attempting to re-identify de-identified student or educator data.

• CA does not sell student identifiable data or aggregated de-identified student or educator data to third parties.

(“Individualized Data”). Individualized Data is not personally identifiable, but it does reflect the usage patterns of a particular Site user, as opposed to Site users collectively. We may provide basic demographic information (gender and age) in conjunction with providing Individualized Data. Third parties typically use this information for analytical purposes and to market their own products and services.

As Part of a Business Transfers. Your information may be transferred to successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Site to another organization or if we merge with or are acquired by another organization, or if we liquidate our assets and sell them individually.

To Comply with Laws and Protect Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order or a subpoena.

We may also maintain De-Identified Data, including usage data, for any purpose that is consistent with laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

Even if your account is closed, information may remain in backup or archive records and we may retain certain data relevant to preventing fraud or future abuse or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable or De-Identified Data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the applicable privacy policy for the Service.

We use third-party service providers to provide a variety of services, such as assisting us with providing customer support, hosting our Services, providing us with analytics about how people use our Services, assisting us with marketing our Services to LEA administrators and teachers, sending and tracking responses to email, providing a framework for the delivery of assessment tools and analytics, storing data, providing single sign-on services (where applicable), and helping us identify and track bugs and errors in our Services. Student analytics data are anonymous, but teacher analytics data include teacher name and email address. Third parties we work with are contractually prohibited from using any Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services we request from them.

When a LEA is the primary account holder, we share information with third parties at the direction of the LEA, and it is the LEA’s responsibility to make such requests in a manner that is consistent with their internal policies and the law. We may also share information that we collect in the following (or comparable) circumstances:

• if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to disclose the information under any applicable law or regulation (for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena);
• if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person;
• to investigate and act upon potential violations of the law or of our terms of service;

• when any user logs into Imagine Learning with a third-party account (such as a ClassLink, Clever or other Learning Management System account), that third party will learn that that user has visited Imagine Learning, and that information will be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and practices;
• with third-party products specifically configured by LEAs to interoperate with Imagine Learning;
• if the information is De-Identified Data;
• with our corporate affiliates, parents, and/or subsidiaries; or
• in other circumstances that you expressly consent to.

We will not sell Personal Information to anyone for monetary compensation. However, we do share Personal Information that could be considered a ‘sale’ under the California Consumer Privacy Act such as in connection with the sale of Imagine Learning’s equity or assets or a merger of Imagine Learning with another company. Any sale or merger would be conditioned so that such information will continue to be covered by the then-applicable Privacy Policy or a policy at least as robust as such Privacy Policy.

The Parent may review the information collected from the user of the child profile at any time by signing in to the Parent account. The Parent may refuse to permit the further collection of the child user's information by no longer providing the child user access to the Service through the Parent's account.

IXL will retain the personal information collected from and about the user of the child profile for as long as necessary to provide the Service and will de-identify or delete the personal information after the termination of the Parent's subscription account in accordance with our standard data retention policy or until we receive a deletion request. To request deletion of personal information of a user of a child profile at any time, please contact us at compliance@ixl.com.

IXL may share or disclose a child's personal information as needed to provide our Service or with your consent or permission. For example, we share information with our trusted vendors, third party service providers and individuals to provide services for us on our behalf, which may include analytics providers and hosting services. We may also share personal information if we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of IXL, its users, or the public; or (e) as required or permitted by law.

As a system of record for Clients and Students, MajorClarity retains data at the sole discretion of Clients and Students, and for as long as they have active agreements with MajorClarity. After termination of an agreement, MajorClarity retains data for the period of time specified in the agreement (45 days unless otherwise specified) to allow districts to retrieve their data. After this time, the personal information of students or staff/administrators is deleted. Daily backup files are retained for a period of 30 days.

However, at any time upon termination of an agreement or otherwise at their discretion, Clients and Students may submit a written request to have their personal information provided to MajorClarity deleted by emailing hello@majorclarity.com. We will comply with such written requests within (30) days.

Note that in the event that a Student chooses to submit data to a postsecondary institution, we are unable to delete or otherwise retract that information from the receiving institution.

‍

Notwithstanding the above, we do retain aggregated, de-identified data for the purposes described in the section titled, "How We Use and Disclose Information."

MajorClarity allows Students to connect with post-secondary educational and/or employment opportunities through our platform, since it is intended to help students explore what they want to do after secondary education.  MajorClarity also provides Clients with access to a variety of features which Clients may choose to make available to Students. These features, some of which are operated by third party providers, are available only to Students in grades 6-12, and may be turned on or off at the sole discretion and control of Clients.

‍

In addition, Employers and post-secondary institutions have the ability to post opportunities or events that Students will be able to respond to, RSVP for, or submit information to -- if they are interested (examples include: information nights for colleges, or internships for employers). Students are in complete control of this process and the post-secondary institutions and/or employers that they engage with.  Students can opt-out of connecting with institutions and employers they are interested in at any time, although most Students see this as a valuable tool. Students who do not opt-out grant us a limited license to connect them with institutions and employers they engage with and consent to being connected.  We do not, however, allow any Student under the age of 13 to be connected with institutions or employers, even if a Student desires to do so, in compliance with COPPA.

‍

If Clients choose to make these features available to their Students, or if a Student desires to take advantage of these features individually, a limited amount of information, including personal information, may need to be sent to the third party in order to deliver the service to the Client and/or Student. MajorClarity does not disclose more information to third parties than is necessary for them to provide features on behalf of MajorClarity.

All third parties have agreed to handle the information in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. They may use the information for the sole purpose of providing the service to Clients and Students.

We are not responsible for data once it has been submitted to a postsecondary institution. In addition, Clients and Students should be aware that if they choose to connect with a postsecondary institution in another country, their data will be subject to the laws of that country.

MajorClarity also provides Clients and Students with links to third party websites and allows Clients to add links to websites that they may then share with Students in all grades. We do not control, and therefore are not responsible for, the content or privacy practices of those websites. Those websites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage Clients and Students to read them.

Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others. Information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted, unless we no longer need the data to provide products and services. Eligible students or their parents or guardians may have the legal right (including under FERPA, COPPA and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)) to access, correct, export or delete certain of their own information or content, or to make certain choices. To make a request, please contact your school or school district. We will help them provide the requested access or make appropriate corrections. If we receive any such requests directly, we will refer those inquiries to the Education Customer to the extent required or permitted by applicable law or contractual requirements.

Users can request deletion of their data by clicking here. User data deletion requests are processed within 24 hours of receipt.

We keep Student Data for the period reasonably necessary to perform and support the services requested by the Education Customer or as required by contract, and we dispose of it at the Education Customer’s direction. Where permitted, our destruction methods may include irreversible de-identification or overwriting. We may keep archive copies of Personal Information and Student Data needed for audit, dispute resolution or legal compliance purposes, to the extent permitted by law.

We do not share any information with third party software or services unless we have your express consent or we are required by law to do so. In some cases we may use integrated Single Sign-On (SSO) such as Clever.com, however, personal information about students does not get shared with the SSO, nor do we receive personal information from the SSO.

For integrated schools, we receive data directly from districts that are authorized to share the appropriate data so that students and teachers may access our products and use them to full effect.

For non-integrated schools, we generate a class code for the teacher and their students to access the platform.

We will never sell any of your information to other companies. We do not share information with other companies for the purpose of marketing.

We will not disclose any of your personal information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to cooperate with local, state and/or federal law enforcement authorities, to enforce the Terms of Use or prevent unauthorized use of the Application, to respond to claims that any content in our applications violates the rights of third parties, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Study Social LLC, its users, or the public.

For purposes of the CCPA, in furnishing the Products to Education Customers, Accelerate Learning functions as a “service provider” and only processes “personal information” on behalf of its Education Customers for their business purposes. Accelerate Learning does not sell any “personal information” that is collected from Education Customers, students, or other users through or in connection with the Products. Accordingly, to exercise CCPA rights to know, delete or opt-out of sales of “personal information”, consumers are directed to contact their school, school district or other local educational agency who control the collection and use of “personal information” as the “business” under the CCPA, as noted above.

For example, we may provide information, including IP address information, to our service providers to protect the Service, such as for fraud detection purposes.

Legal and similar disclosures. We may share personal information with law enforcement, the courts, our advisors, attorneys, and others who participate in the legal process, if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with legal requirements and law enforcement requests (such as a court order or subpoena); comply with legal process (such as discovery); or protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety.

Other sharing. We may share information as described under “Information Collection and Processing” above and for other business purposes as otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy.

Merger, sale, or other asset transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, your personal information may be shared with the other parties and advisors involved under an obligation of confidentiality in connection with the negotiation of such transaction, and your personal information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction to the other parties.

Privacy Policy

a. Information we collect directly from you or from your school

We do not knowingly retain Student Data beyond the time period necessary to support the School’s educational purpose. We do not delete or de-identify any Student Data from an active student user account associated with a School except at the direction of the School.

Please note: Schools are responsible for maintaining current student rosters and identifying Student Data which the School no longer needs for an educational purpose by submitting a deletion request. School users may contact us at privacy@newsela.com to request deletion of Student Data. Even if we do not receive a deletion request from a School, we may delete or de-identify Student Data after a period of inactivity in accordance with our standard data retention practices.

We may not be able to immediately or completely delete all data in all instances, such as information retained in technical support records, customer service records, backups, and other similar business records. We do not delete information which has been de-identified or disassociated with personal identifiers such that the remaining information cannot reasonably be used to identify a particular individual. We will also not delete any Student Data that has been transferred or stored in a personal account except at the request of the parent or student.

Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

We will ensure that all data associated with your licensed accounts that is in our possession is destroyed or transferred to you or your organization under the direction of you or your organization when the data is no longer needed for its specified purpose, at your or your organization’s request.

Basically, we don’t share any data unless required to by law or as a part of our internal business processes.]

Learning Without Tears does not share Student Data with third-parties nor do we rent or sell any data or information for marketing purposes or to any third-party advertising networks.

Learning Without Tears only shares Student Data in two limited circumstances. First, we may share Student Data with those who provide us technology services (e.g. web hosting and analytics services) but strictly for the purpose of carrying out their work for us to enable us to provide Services to you or your organization. Second, we may be required to share information with law enforcement or other third parties when compelled to do so by court order or other legal process, to comply with statutes or regulations, to enforce our Terms of Service, or if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users.

Privacy Policy

B. CUSTOMER DATA

C. COLLECTED DATA

D. TRANSACTION DATA

Transaction Data is not Customer Data, nor is it Collected Data. It is a different PowerSchool category of data. Transaction Data may contain copied elements from Customer Data or Collected Data. For example, the logging of a user session may contain a unique id that identifies the user. The unique id is necessary for monitoring the health and security of PowerSchool applications.The monitoring of PowerSchool systems and applications is a part of our standard business operations to protect Customer Data and Collected Data; comply with laws; be able to provide customer support, and monitor events related to Customer Data or Collected Data. The monitoring of events is essential in preventing data-related incidents and determining if a data-related incident has occurred or is occurring that requires immediate attention by PowerSchool’s Incident Response Team. System and application events are monitored by the creation of artifacts or metadata about our systems, applications and their use. We call this “Transaction Data”. Transaction Data is vital to our ability to improve our products; trouble shoot customer support questions; analyze the health and performance of our products; and maintain security of Customer Data and Collected data, and privacy investigations. Transaction Data may either contain personal information along with application data that does not directly or indirectly relate to a person; or application data without any personal information at all.The storage and maintenance of Transaction Data is separate from the storage and maintenance of Customer Data and Collected Data with clear boundaries between the three types of data. In fact, Transaction Data is temporary. This means Transaction Data is permanently deleted on a regular rolling basis over time. This occurs regardless of whether Transaction Data contains any personal information or not. This is an implementation of the data minimization principle. Transaction Data which contains no personal information or Transaction Data containing even one element of personal information are all treated the same. Except for Service Providers acting as data subprocessors supporting our applications who are granted secure access to Transaction Data, PowerSchool does not share, disclose, sell or transfer such Transaction Data. Additionally, PowerSchool treats all Transaction Data as PowerSchool Restricted Information – meaning confidential and secured – and at the same level as Customer Data and Collected Data.PowerSchool does work with various data subprocessors to support the operability of our products. In order for these vendors to service us as captured in our agreements with them, they do create metadata within their systems. In these cases, PowerSchool binds these vendors to privacy requirements to ensure any metadata is properly deleted as required by law.PowerSchool respects our customers’ privacy and data security requirements. Transaction Data is one way we fulfill that promise to our customers – educational institutions and individuals. Transaction Data provides us with the ability to service our customers properly.

F. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
