Online Educational Service PII Collected How PII Is Destroyed Terms of PII Redisclosure Link(s) to Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy
Achieve 3000

We only collect the information required to provide, maintain and improve the digital learning solution you use. When you register, or are registered within one of our digital learning solutions, we collect your name, school, instructor, class, and login information. Once you begin using one of our solutions, we collect your input to questions, technical specifications, and other information about how you use the solution. You are not required to provide PII; however, in order to use certain services, we may need to collect certain PII for that service to function properly or for us to provide you with requested information.

Depending on the product, the PII we collect includes information from the following categories:

  1. Name, initials, and personal or business-related contact information
  2. For our digital learning systems, we collect your name/initials and contact information when you create an account. However, we collect additional PII, or confirm existing PII, if you contact customer service with an issue or question.
  3. Education & professional information
  4. For some digital learning systems, we collect PII related to your position as an educator or student. This includes the state, district, name of school, courses, etc.
  5. In some instances, we collect PII from third parties who provide single-sign-on functions via Learning Management Systems or related tools.

We automatically collect computer metadata and content to provide, improve, and maintain our products and services.

When you use our digital learning systems, we automatically collect certain information from you through the use of cookies, web beacons or other tracking mechanisms. This includes information about your experience such as your IP address, operating systems, pages viewed, and time spent.

Third parties also collect information automatically from you across websites and over time through the use of their own cookies, web beacons, and tracking mechanisms. This information is used to enable the functions of the digital learning system, as well as customize, maintain, and improve our digital learning systems. You may disable cookies via your browser or third party mechanisms. However, some features of our digital learning systems may not function properly without them. Third party cookies that we use include Google Analytics and Webtrends.

If you choose to communicate with or receive communications through our services via phone, text, chat, email, or any other platform for technical support, customer service, or other assistance, those interactions may be recorded and monitored to deliver the solution or information requested by you.

We will retain your data for the minimum amount of time necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was collected, and thereafter no longer than is permitted under McGraw Hill’s data retention policies. We will retain and use your data as necessary to comply with our obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

For information on the retention period that applies, reach out to the Privacy Office by emailing privacy@mheducation.com or calling +1-646-766-3199.

In general, we only share your PII in order to provide, maintain, or improve our products or services, or respond to legal requests.

  1. Co-branded/Other Web Sites and Features – We may share your PII with third-party business partners for the purpose of providing the service to you. These third-party business partners include cloud service providers, learning management systems (LMS), other educational software providers, etc. These business partners will be given limited access to the PII that is reasonably necessary to deliver the service, and we will require that such third parties follow the same privacy and security practices as McGraw Hill.
  2. Business Transfer – In the event of a sale, merger or acquisition, we will be able to transfer your PII to a separate entity. We will require this entity to use your PII only for authorized purposes and by authorized persons in a manner consistent with the choices end users have made under this notice, and that security, integrity, and privacy of your PII is maintained.
  3. Agents/Service providers – We hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf and according to our instructions. For example, we provide your PII to service providers that host our platform data in the cloud (e.g., AWS).
  4. Affiliates – McGraw Hill is a global corporation that consists of multiple organizations. We share your PII between organizations within McGraw Hill to provide, maintain, and improve our products and services. A list of the companies within the McGraw Hill group is available here.
  5. Educational Institutions / Corporation – As we provide products and services to your institution / corporation, we share your data with approved individuals such as administrators or educators.
  6. Law Enforcement – In the event that McGraw Hill receives a legal demand for end user data from a law enforcement agency, that request will only be honored if:
    1. The request complies with all laws and clearly establishes the legal need for disclosure.
    2. The request is related to a specific investigation and specific user accounts are implicated in that investigation.
    3. Whenever legally permissible, users shall receive notice that their information is being requested.

McGraw Hill reserves the right to disclose to third parties non-personally identifiable information about our users and their use of the McGraw Hill services. For example, McGraw Hill may disclose aggregate data about the overall patterns or demographics of the users of the McGraw Hill products or services.

If you become aware of any personal information we have collected from children under age 13 without parental consent, please contact us using the information detailed in the Contacting us section below.

Personal information that is no longer required to fulfil the identified purposes will be destroyed, erased or de-identified.

Our clients (e.g., schools and libraries) are responsible for notification of purpose and for obtaining appropriate consent, to the extent required by law, when they collect personal information that is transferred to us.

If we are instructed by our clients to transmit communications on their behalf, clients remain responsible for ensuring that recipients have consented to receiving such communications and that the information contained in the communications are accurate and complete.

We may, subject to applicable laws, use personal information from our users to contact them about the Site and Services, including to provide them with information on additional products from us that may be of interest to them. Our users may exercise choices regarding these communications as follows:

Mail marketing, Telephone marketing, Surveys and Quality control communications (as applicable). You may decide that you prefer that we not use your personal information to promote new and/or additional products and/or services which may be of interest to you and refuse that we contact you by mail or telephone for marketing purposes or by email or telephone for quality control purposes. If this is the case, you may advise us by contacting customer service or contacting us using the information detailed in the Contacting us section below. For clarity, we will not use any students' personal information that we receive from or in connection with a school (collectively, “Student Personal Data”) for marketing-related communications. For more information about Student Personal Data, see section 8 below.
Emails/Commercial Electronic Communications. You can always limit the communications that we send to you. To opt-out of commercial emails, simply click the link labeled “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” at the bottom of any commercial electronic communication we send you. For clarity, students are automatically opted out of commercial electronic communications that do not specifically relate to the provision or support of the Services in which such students participate. Please note that even if you opt-out of promotional communications, we may still need to contact you with important information about your account.

  • First and last name
  • School name and school address
  • Individual’s school email address
Schools may opt to share additional student information with Clever, such as gender or date of birth.

We collect and store this information on an individual basis and in aggregate, or combined, form. We use proprietary algorithms to calculate behavior, knowledge, and skill statistics using individual simulation activity for each student.



“Do Not Track” Signals.

We do not currently have the capability to recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. We adhere to the standards set forth in this privacy policy.

Cookies-

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited. We use secure session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. We use session cookies to record session information, such as which web pages a user has visited, and to track user activity on the site. We also use session cookies to store any passwords used on the site (such as a password associated with a user account), so you don’t have to enter it more than once per session. These cookies are deleted when you close your web browser.

Analytics-

To determine how many users visit our site, how often they visit this site, and to better understand the areas of greatest interest to our visitors, we use a tools called “Google Analytics” to compile this information for us. As a result of your visit to our site, Google may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of analytics tools with personally identifiable information. For more information about the analytics companies’ ability to use and share information about your visits to this site, see http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Advertising-

We do not use third-party ad networks, targeted advertising, or display ads on this site.

We will retain your personal information in accordance with our continuing business need to support user services and fulfill our contractual obligations to educational institutions, and as may be required by law.

Should such transfer occur, we will ensure that the successor entity agrees to act in accordance with Student Pledge principles or delete the information.

Blooket
nformation You Provide to Us
There are currently two categories of users on our Service: users and visitors. We collect and store the following types of information from each type of user:
  • Account Sign-up and Profile Information: To create an Blooket account, you may be asked to provide some basic information. If you create an Blooket account as a user, you will be asked to enter your first name, last name, username, password and email. Visitors who participate in games will be asked only for a username.
  • Contact Information: When you choose to provide us with your personal information through the Service in some other manner (e.g., when you request a quote for upgrading to a "Blooket Plus", when you submit a copyright claim or report any media on our platform, when you send us an email asking a question, or submit a support request).
  • Billing Information: When subscribing to any of our "Blooket Plus" options, you will be asked to provide necessary information for processing the payment (e.g., credit/debit card number). As further explained in the Security Measures section of this Privacy Policy, payments are processed over Stripe through their third party website service.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most web-based services, we (or our service providers) may automatically receive and log information on our server logs from your browser or your device when you use the Service. For example, this could include the frequency and duration of your visits to Blooket. If you use Blooket on different devices, we may link the information we collect from those different devices to help us provide a consistent Service across your different devices. If we do combine any automatically-collected information with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information, and it will be protected as per this Privacy Policy. The technologies and information we automatically collect include:
  • Cookies and Other Similar Technologies: We (or our service providers) may use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit our Service, including clear GIFs (also known as “web beacons”), “tags”, “scripts”, and “cookies”. We also make use of persistent secure cookies: persistent cookie remains after you close your browser (although they can be removed) and may be used by your browser to identify you on subsequent visits to the Service. We may also use, collect and store information locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5). Like many services, Blooket uses these technologies to tailor the Service for you, and to help the Service work better for you - for example, by remembering your language preferences.
  • Device Information: We collect, through our third-party analytics services, device-specific information such as your operating system, hardware version, device settings, file and software names and types, battery and signal strength, and device identifiers. This helps us measure how the Service is performing, and improve Blooket for you on your particular device.
  • Log Information: Like most online services, when you use our Service, we automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs. Examples include:
    • Details of how you used our service, such as your activity on the Service, and the frequency and duration of your visits to the Blooket Website.
    • IP Address.
    • Device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
This information helps us make decisions about what we should work on next - for example, by showing which features are most (or least!) popular.
  • Location Information: When you use our Service we may collect and process information about your geographic location, for example through GPS, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi signals. We collect coarse (i.e., city-level) location data. We will not store or track your device location on an ongoing basis or without your permission. We do not share precise geolocation data with third parties, other than our service providers as necessary to provide the Service.
Automated Decision Making and Profiling
Automated Decision Making (ADM) refers to a decision which is taken solely on the basis of automated processing of your personal data. This means processing using, for example, software code or an algorithm, which does not require human intervention. Profiling means using automated processes without human intervention (such as computer programs) to analyze your personal information in order to evaluate your behavior or to predict things about you which are relevant in the context of using Blooket, such as what kind of games or Blooket sets you utilized. As profiling uses automated processing, it is sometimes connected with automated decision-making. Not all profiling results in automated decision-making, but it can.
We store your personal information for as long as it is necessary to provide products and Services to you and others, including those described above pursuant to our Data Retention Policy. Deletion will affect any on-going paid subscriptions, which will be immediately cancelled. Note we may retain and use de-identified data (i.e., data which has been stripped off all information that can be used to identify a person) for purposes of research, improvement of our products and services, and/or the development of new products and services. We may also have to retain some information after your account is deleted, to comply with legal obligations, to protect the safety and security of our community or our Service, or to prevent abuse of our Terms. In case we keep copies or backups of personal information, such copies or backups will be kept for a maximum term of eighteen (18) months after the deletion of your account.
Blooket's Third-Party Service Providers
It is important to us that we keep your information safe and secure. To best provide our services, and keep your information safe, we work with a few other companies (we can't do it all ourselves!). These companies ("third-party service providers", "collaborators" or "agents") will only have access to the information they need to provide the Blooket service. Below is a list of the service providers which, subject to their terms of service and privacy policies, may have access to personal data to process on our behalf in accordance with our instructions, Privacy Policy and any other requirements regarding confidentiality, security or integrity:
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting Blooket's servers, videos, images and audios.
  • Google Services for cloud storage, hosting Blooket's servers, analytics on our website ("Google Analytics"), and for spam and abuse protection ("reCAPTCHA").
  • Cloudinary for creating, managing and delivering images and audio across any browser.
  • Sendgrid and Mailjet for email messaging.
  • Mongodb is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era.
  • Stripe as a payment processing service.
This list may change over time, and we will work hard to keep it up-to-date. Blooket reserves the right to change or add service providers which provide services in concert with the provisions of this agreement.
Accountability for Onward Transfer
We will transfer your personal information to third-party service providers only for limited and specific purposes. We will obtain contractual assurances from our collaborators that they will safeguard personal information in a manner consistent with this Policy and that they will provide the same level of protection as per best industry standards. We recognize our responsibility and potential liability for onward transfers to agents. Where we have knowledge that an agent is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this Policy and/or level of protection as required by applicable laws and regulations, we will take reasonable steps to prevent, remediate or stop such use or disclosure. If we transfer personal information to non-agent third parties, that is to say, any new collaborators that are not included in the previously mentioned list, we will (1) notify you with all necessary information on any key elements affecting the processing of your personal data, and (2) obtain contractual assurance from these parties that they will provide the same level of security as per best industry standards and in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

We may also allow users to share information with other users where relevant to the features offered by the Platform. For example, we may permit users to interact and share information with each other in community forums and other interactive spaces. Lastly, we may share information as instructed by our Districts or their users. We do not sell any Platform data, nor do we make this information available for behavioral targeting of advertisements to students or any other marketing purpose.

What Information Do We Collect About Children?

How Information is Collected. We may collect information about Children directly from Children and/or their Schools, as well as automatically through a Child's use of our Services. We will not require a School or Child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to use our Services.

Information We Collect Directly. We may collect a Child’s name and other personal information when a School provides it to us. For example, through our Services, Schools can create assessments and track their Students’ learning progress. In doing so, Schools may require the Child’s personal information in order to track and archive evidence of learning. Schools decide how they will use our Services and Schools are responsible for ensuring that their collection and use of personal information from Children through the Services complies with applicable laws. If you are a parent and you have questions about your Child's School’s use of our Services, you should discuss your questions with your Child’s School.

Schools also have the option of creating accounts for their Students which allows those Students to view their learning progress and access learning resources provided by their School. If a School chooses to register a Child for an account, Canvas will generate a username and temporary password and provide them directly to the School which may then share them with the Child. After logging in, the Child can then create a permanent password for their account.

Once an account is created, we collect information about Children’s performance and activities on our Services. We may use deidentified or aggregated data in order to improve our services.

Parents can tell us to stop collecting personal information from their Children; however, in such cases the Children will not be able to use our Services. If you direct us to stop collecting and using your Child's personal information, we will notify the School of your request and disable your Child’s use of our Services.

Information We Collect Automatically. We may automatically collect information about a Child’s use of our Services through our servers and in log files, such as the following: domain name; browser type and operating system; web pages viewed; links clicked; the length of time spent on our Services; the length of time our Services are used; the referring URL, or the webpage that led a user to our Site; language information; device name and model; operating system type, name, and version; and activities within our Services. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. Except as noted in this COPPA Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to a Child’s personal information.

We may also collect IP address, device identifier or a similar unique identifier from Child users of our Services; we use such identifiers solely to support the internal operations of our Services in the same manner as described above, including to maintain or analyze their functioning; perform network communications; authenticate users or personalize content; and protect the security or integrity of users and our Services. We never use unique identifiers to track Child users across third-party apps or websites.

We may also collect information from any mobile devices that a Child uses if the Child has downloaded one or more of our Apps to their device. This information is used to help us deliver the Services to the Child. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how the Child uses the App(s) and information about the type of device the Child is using. In addition, in the event our App(s) crash on a mobile device, we will receive information about the mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our App(s). This crash information is sent to us as aggregated information that does not identify an individual.

Parents and Schools have a right to review and correct the information we have collected about their Child(ren) and Students, respectively, and to delete it, and to tell us to update it or stop using it. To exercise these rights, you may contact us atprivacy@instructure.com. You will be required to authenticate yourself as the Child's parent or School to receive information about that Child. Please note that we cannot delete copies of information that a Child's School has already collected and/or copied, and copies of information that you have deleted may remain in archives for a period of time.

We will notify all users of any material change in our information practices, as well as any choices users may have regarding their personal information.
In Response to Legal Process. We may disclose personal information that we have collected from Children in order to comply with applicable law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process.
To Protect Us and Others.

Third parties may provide us with information about you. For example, if you are on a third party web site, and you opt-in to receive information from us, that third party will forward information about you to us so that we may contact you as requested.

The Services may permit interactions between the Services and a third party web site or service, such as enabling you to "like" a product within our Services or "share" content to other web sites. If you choose to "like" or "share" content or to otherwise post information from or via the Services to a third party web site, feature or application, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third party web site may have access to information about you and your use of our Services. Similarly, if you publically post information on a third party platform that references CommonLit or one of the Services, your post may be published on our Services in accordance with terms of that third party. These features may collect your IP address or other Device Identifier, which page you are visiting on our web site, and may set a cookie to enable the third party feature to function properly. Third party features and applications are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy(ies) of the company(ies) providing it. 

The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party web site and service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected in compliance with all applicable laws.

Information We Collect Automatically 

Like other web sites and online services, we and our analytics providers, vendors and other third party service providers may automatically collect certain "Usage Information" whenever you access and use the Services.  For example, we may collect information regarding when a user downloads resources such as pdfs or the pages a user accesses. 

Usage Information may include the browser and operating system you are using, the URL that referred you to our Services (if applicable), the search terms you entered into a search engine that lead you to our Services (if applicable), all of the areas within our Services that you visit (including information about any ads you may view), and the time of day you used the Services, among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including to select appropriate content to display to you and to enhance or otherwise improve the Services and our products.

In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for any computer, mobile phone or other device (any, a "Device") you may use to access the Services. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access a Service, and our servers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access a Service, internet service provider (ISP), date and time of your visit, browser language, browser type, referring and exit pages and URLs, amount of time spent on particular pages, which parts of our Services you use, which links you click, search terms, operating system, traffic and related statistics, keywords, and/or other general browsing or usage data. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we treat it as Personal Information.

Usage Information is collected via tracking technologies, including:

1. Cookies: Our Services utilize Cookies to improve your current and future experience by allowing us to understand your usage of our Services. For example, cookies help our systems recognize you if you return to our Services shortly after exiting them. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that allow us to personalize the content of our Services. Cookies can be turned off via your browser settings if you so choose. However, if you turn your cookies off, some features of our Services may not function properly.

2. An Embedded Script: is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device from our server or a third party service provider and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Services.

In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

3. HTML5: We use Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content, information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our site use LSOs such as HTML 5 & Flash to collect and store information.

Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs. 

How We Respond To Do Not Track Signals:

Please note that your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites and online service you visit. DNT is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the internet industry is still working to determine what DNT means, how to comply with DNT, and how to create a common approach to responding to DNT. To find out more about "Do Not Track", please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com

CommonLit takes data security very seriously.  CommonLit takes commercially reasonable technical, physical, and administrative security measures designed to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.  Such measures vary depending on the sensitivity of the information at issue.  Measures taken to protect your data include:

  • We continually test CommonLit’s security practices for vulnerabilities
  • We periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems
  • We continually develop and implement features to keep your personal information safe - for example, all traffic to and from our application is over secure, encrypted protocols (SSL/TLS).
  • We ensure passwords are stored securely using encryption and salted one-way hashing
  • We also operate a ‘bug bounty’ security program to encourage an active community of third party security researchers to report any security bugs to us. More information on this is available by contacting us at security@commonlit.org.
  • Every CommonLit employee participates in training on the importance of and methods for protecting Personal Information. Training consists of how to remain compliant with federal and state regulations (e.g . FERPA, COPPA, and SOPIPA), CommonLit policies, and general security posturing to protect student data (including techniques such as Two Factor Authentication, Drive Encryption, creating and managing strong passwords, etc).  
  • All CommonLit employees are trained in security practices and procedures designed to keep Your Data under strict internal controls.
  • Developers peer-review code to make sure changes adhere to best practices for security.
  • Administrators are knowledgeable of security practices and harden the infrastructure with necessary patches, monitor security resources for advisories and vulnerabilities, and scan the environment and application to ensure that student information remains secure.

Please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

How will CommonLit handle a data breach or security incident?

In the event that CommonLit becomes aware of a data breach impacting your Personal Information, we will provide notification in compliance with all applicable laws. For example, we may post a notice on our homepage (www.CommonLit.org) or elsewhere on the Service, and may send email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. 

CommonLit has procedures in place that are designed to stop threats that may expose personally identifiable information, restore Services to full functionality, and document and take proactive steps to ensure the incident cannot be repeated. CommonLit will also preserve necessary evidence for investigation by security professionals and law enforcement as appropriate. In the unlikely event of an unauthorized disclosure of records, CommonLit will follow its internal procedures, which articulates how to report the problem to internal and external stakeholders. The notification process includes any information that can identify which customers and students may have been impacted, the data that may have been accessed, CommonLit’s process to inform affected customers, and steps to prevent the incident from happening again as appropriate.

In the unlikely event of an unauthorized disclosure of Data, CommonLit has implemented a process for responding to incidents and notifying affected individuals and, if applicable, law enforcement personnel.

Curriculum Associates

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.

Student and teacher personal data is used only in the production systems and only for the explicitly identified functions of the i-Ready application. Student and teacher personal data is de-identified before any testing or research activities may be conducted. Upon the written request of a customer, Curriculum Associates will remove all personally identifiable student and educator data from its production systems when CA will no longer be providing access to i-Ready to that customer. In addition, CA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove a particular customer’s student data from its production servers a reasonable period of time after its relationship with the customer has ended, as demonstrated by the end of contract term or a significant period of inactivity in all customer accounts. Student data is removed from backups in accordance with CA’s data retention practices. If CA is required to restore any materials from its backups, it will purge all studentidentifiable data not currently in use in the production systems from the restored backups.

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.

Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle collects the minimal amount of information from students necessary to create accounts on our Service: we ask students to provide a unique username, a unique email (the student email is only collected when using our Service through an LMS integration or Single Sign-On solution), a password, their first and last name and a unique code they have been given by their teacher to join a class. Beyond this information, students can also submit responses, comments, audios, images, or, if assigned a Student Project by their teacher, videos, all of which will remain private between teacher and student. All this information will only be used for the purposes of the school/teacher. In addition to the information entered by the student, we automatically collect some information from any use of our Service as set forth in the "Information Collected Automatically" section.We use this information to provide the Service to the student, for security and safety purposes, or as required by law or to enforce our Terms. We will not require students to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary in order to participate in the Service. If we discover that we have collected information from a student in a manner inconsistent with COPPA, FERPA, GDPR, or any other applicable laws or regulations, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information. We do not disclose any personal information about children to third parties, except to service providers necessary to provide the Service, as permitted by law, or to protect the security of the Service or other users. Information collected from students (including personal information and information collected automatically) is never used or disclosed for third-party advertising, including any kind of first- or third-party behaviorally targeted advertising, and children’s personal information is never sold or rented to anyone, including marketers or advertisers.Open Class feature: The term “Open Class” refers to a specific feature available only for teacher accounts that enables students to access the Edpuzzle service through a student–teacher unique restricted session without providing any personal data. If the teacher creates an Open Class, students access the class through a unique code or link provided by their teacher. Teachers also have the choice to assign nicknames to students or opt for their random assignment by Edpuzzle. In cases where the teacher assigns the nickname, teachers have the discretion to ensure that the assigned nickname is not directly associated with individual students. On the other hand, if Edpuzzle handles the nickname assignment, the process ensures anonymization. As previously stated, the student enters the Open Class in a unique restricted session that is limited in functionality (the feature only allows the student to answer questions embedded in video lessons) and time (the unique session expires on assignment completion or after a period of seven (7) days of inactivity). Please note that joining an Open Class after assignment completion or expiration, even with the same nickname, will initiate a new restricted unique session. The restricted session is always private between student and teacher, and the student cannot see or interact with any user other than their teacher.

As stated in previous sections Edpuzzle does not sell or rent your, or your students' personal information to any third party for any purpose - including for advertising or marketing purposes. Furthermore, we do not share personal information with any third parties except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy:

  • Other Users You Share and Communicate with on Edpuzzle: No student profiles are made available to the general public through our Service. Furthermore, students cannot share their account information with anyone on Edpuzzle. If you are a teacher you may choose to share information or content through the Service with other Edpuzzle teachers - for example, things like your account information or videos. Please keep in mind that information (including personal information or children's personal information) or content that you voluntarily disclose to others - including other Edpuzzle users you interact with through the Service can be viewed, copied, stored, and used by the people you share it with. We cannot control the actions of people with whom you choose to share information.
  • Third-party Integrations on Our Service: When, as a teacher, you use third-party apps, websites or other services that use, or are integrated with, our Service, they may receive information about the content you post or share. For example, when you invite others via Facebook or Twitter, these services receive the information that you share through this functionality, and that you are sharing it from Edpuzzle. Information collected by these apps, websites or integrated services is subject to their own terms and policies, and under no circumstances will Edpuzzle be responsible for any content that may be shared, retrieved, or developed as a consequence of using such integrations.
  • YouTube: Similarly, when using the YouTube API to watch lessons streaming from YouTube, teachers may see contextual advertisements on said lessons. At Edpuzzle we take students' privacy very seriously. That's why when students watch a video on Edpuzzle, they'll be streaming either from https://www.youtubeeducation.com, using the YouTube Player for Education, or https://www.youtube-nocookie.com, rather than streaming videos directly from https://www.youtube.com. You can learn more about the YouTube Player for Education here and about our partnership with YouTube here.
  • Service Providers: We do work with vendors, service providers, and other partners to help us provide the Service by performing tasks on our behalf - we can’t build everything ourselves, after all! We may need to share or provide information (including personal information) to them to help them perform specific business functions, for example sending emails on our behalf, database management services, database hosting, providing customer support software, and security. Generally, these service providers do not have the right to use your personal information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. Additionally, these service providers must adhere to confidentiality and security obligations that are consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Distributors, Resellers and other Partners: We may, now or in the future, work with distributors, resellers and other partners to assist in the commercialization and sale of our products in your country or region. In such cases, we may share information (e.g., contact information you submitted with your request for a quote) with them to provide you with appropriate assistance and/or services.
  • Testimonials: We post testimonials on our Service which may contain personal information such as the name, photo and/or a video of the individual in the testimonial. We obtain the individual’s consent in advance to ensure we have permission to post this content publicly. To request removal of your personal information from our testimonials, please contact us at privacy@edpuzzle.com.
  • Analytics Services: We use analytics services, including mobile analytics software, to help us understand and improve how the Service is being used. These services may collect, store and use information in order to help us understand things like how often you use the Service, the events that occur within the application, usage, performance data, and from where the application was downloaded.
  • Aggregated Information and Non-Identifying Information: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly, including with uselmrs, partners or the press in order to, for example, demonstrate how Edpuzzle is used, spot industry trends, or to provide marketing materials for Edpuzzle. Any aggregated information shared this way will not contain any personal information. If we choose to share this information with any third party, we will take necessary measures to ensure that the third party agrees not to engage in re-identification or the combination of Non-Identifying Information with other data sets that may pose a risk of re-identification.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose personal information if we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to comply with the law, such as complying with a subpoena or other legal process. We may need to disclose personal information where, in good faith, we think it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Edpuzzle, our employees, our community, or others, or to prevent violations of our Terms of Service or other agreements. This includes, without limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection or responding to government requests.
  • Parent Companies and/or Affiliates: We may share your personal information with affiliates such as a parent company, subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control by us, in which case we will require those companies to agree to use your personal information in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Change of Control: In the event that all or a portion of Edpuzzle or its assets are acquired by or merged with a third party, personal information that we have collected from users would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that third party. This Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your information, and any acquirer would only be able to handle your personal information as per this policy (unless you give consent to a new policy). We will provide you with notice of an acquisition within thirty (30) days following the completion of such a transaction, by posting on our homepage, and by email to your email address that you provided to us. If you do not consent to the use of your personal information by such a successor company, you may request its deletion from the company. In the unlikely event that Edpuzzle goes out of business, or files for bankruptcy, we will protect your personal information, and will not sell it to any third party.
  • With your Consent: Other than the cases above, we won’t disclose your personal information for any purpose unless you consent to it. Additionally, as discussed above, we will never sell or rent your personal information to advertisers or other third parties.

We store your personal information for as long as it is necessary to provide products and Services to you and others, including those described above. As a general rule, if your account is inactive for eighteen (18) months or more (meaning you have not logged into your account during that time), Edpuzzle will automatically delete your account. Deletion will affect any on-going paid subscriptions, which will be immediately canceled. Following deletion, Edpuzzle may retain specific portions of data in the terms outlined in section "How can I delete my account?" of this Privacy Policy.In addition to the policy above that applies to all users, we only keep a student’s personal information while the student’s account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it or need it to ensure the security of our community or our Service, or to enforce our Terms.

IXL

Information collected from the Child's use of the Service. During the course of providing the Service, we collect information about the user of the child profile's use of the Service and information submitted to the Service, such as answers to questions, for the purpose of providing feedback to the user and for compiling reports and awards.

When your Child accesses the Service through the Parent's account, we automatically collect and store usage information as well as information about the device used by the Parent and Child to access the Service. For example, we collect an IP address, location (at the city level), browser type, language preferences, and other information about the device used to access the Service, such as the device type, model and manufacturer and a unique identifier which allows us to uniquely identify your browser, device, or account, as well as account usage information such as the day/time stamp, referring/exit pages and URLs, pages viewed, and similar information. This information is typically collected through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, web beacons, log files, and similar technology (collectively, "tracking technologies"), and we may use third party providers to collect this information on our behalf. This data collection is explained in greater detail in Section 1 of our Privacy Policy under the sub-heading "Information we receive when you use the Service."

We use this information to secure and improve the Service, to provide personalized content and information, to remember you when you return to the Service at a later time or using a different device, to improve the Service, to save you time, to provide better technical support, to track website usage and other similar purposes.

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.

If IXL becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, change of control, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, personal information may be transferred or disclosed in connection with the business transaction, subject to any applicable laws.

We may also share aggregate or de-identified information in a manner that cannot be reasonably used to identify an individual user.

iReady

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 reduced-price 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.

Student and teacher personal data is used only in the production systems and only for the explicitly identified functions of the i-Ready application. Student and teacher personal data is de-identified before any testing or research activities may be conducted. Upon the written request of a customer, Curriculum Associates will remove all personally identifiable student and educator data from its production systems when CA will no longer be providing access to i-Ready to that customer. In addition, CA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove a particular customer’s student data from its production servers a reasonable period of time after its relationship with the customer has ended, as demonstrated by the end of contract term or a significant period of inactivity in all customer accounts. Student data is removed from backups in accordance with CA’s data retention practices. If CA is required to restore any materials from its backups, it will purge all student-identifiable data not currently in use in the production systems from the restored backups.

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 i-Ready 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.

Additional information Clients would like to host about Students within MajorClarity is done at the Clients' discretion to enable certain platform features and for their internal review, analysis and reporting. This may include Student personal information and academic records, date of birth and other demographic information, grades, test results and performance data. Clients may also host information about a Student's parent or legal guardian, including, but not limited to names and email addresses.

Clients may create accounts in MajorClarity for Students' parent or legal guardians by importing their existing records and submitting user names. At the Client's discretion, parents may be provided with access privileges to view and/or edit certain information.

Information Provided by Students

Students log into MajorClarity using information provided by the Client or they create their own user name and password if signing up individually:

  • Grades 3-5: Students create a user name and password. They also add their respective school, if it is on the list.
  • Grades 6-12: Students create a user name and password. They also add their respective school, if it is on the list. Also, subject to the configuration options selected by Clients, students may choose to add information such as their email address or phone number.

Students also provide information by participating in interactive features provided by MajorClarity, request support, manage your account, or otherwise communicate with MajorClarity.  The type of information MajorClarity collects includes your name, email address, ratings of test-drives, classes you have taken, personality test results, resumes, posts and comments, and messages between Students or Clients.

A Special Note About Students Under the Age of 13

MajorClarity operates in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Subject to the configuration options selected by Clients, Students under the age of 13 may be asked to submit personal information. Any such information is used only for school purposes.

MajorClarity relies on Clients to provide consent for collection of that data on behalf of the parents or legal guardians, as agreed to in advance by Clients.

Clients may also make any information provided by Students under the age of 13 available to parents or legal guardians to review through each Client's product dashboard. To the extent you are an individual user and under 13 years of age, you are required to receive parental/guardian consent before using any service MajorClarity offers.

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.

We collect this information in order to best respond to you and any issues you may encounter. If you choose not to share this information with us, it may not be possible for us to respond to your request.

For Application activities that request personal information, you agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself. Your registration and/or participation in our Application services may be canceled without notice if at any time we discover that you have provided false information or violated any term of this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.

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 the Application violates the rights of third parties, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our company, its users, or the public.

You can sign into your account to see any personally identifiable information we have stored such as your name, email address, or phone number. You can also contact us by email to request to see this information.

Each of our products or applications collects different information, as outlined below:

Math Nation/Algebra Nation: Algebra Nation is a dynamic online and printed workbook resource that helps students master Algebra 1 or serves as on on-ramp tool to Algebra. Students can get personalized, real-time feedback from teachers, tutors, and peers on the Algebra Wall, which empowers them to learn collaboratively inside and outside of school. Math Nation provides the same services but to a broader math audience, including Geometry and Algebra 2. For middle school or high school students whose district or school is using the free Clever service (in use by more than 60% of schools in the country) we collect students’ full name, high school name, and teacher name — and that’s it. If the district or school is using Clever, we only have access to the data which is shared with us by the district or school. So the data shared is 100% up to the district or school, and varies. All of this information is stored in secure servers in a manner that is fully compliant with the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). For high school students who sign up on their own, independently of their school, we collect their full name and their email address.

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.

Any such sale or transfer shall be on the condition that your personal information continues to be treated in material compliance with this Privacy Policy.

3.  DO-NOT-SELL DISCLOSURE
We do not sell your personal information for money or other consideration. We also do not rent, sell, or share “personal information” as defined by California Civil Code §1798.83 about you that we collect on the Service with other people or unaffiliated companies for their marketing purposes.

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.

  • Consent. We may disclose Personal Information with any other entity disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or with your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell your Personal Information. For clarity, we may make recommendations within or through the Services of features, tools, and content on the Services to students based on their demographic information or activities on our Services. For example, we may suggest reading materials to a student based on the student having read a similar material in the past or based on the student’s age or grade level.

We may also share information with others in de-identified, aggregated or otherwise anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.

We disclose Student Data solely as needed to provide the Services on behalf of specific Schools in accordance with our contractual agreements with those Schools. Please note that Student Data and teacher account usage data may be disclosed to or accessible by users who are authorized to use the Services on behalf of the School. Student Data may also be accessible to anyone who accesses your account with your login credentials.

g. How We Use De-Identified Student Data

We may collect and use De-Identified Data to operate, analyze, improve, market or develop educational sites, services or applications, to recommend content or services relating to school or educational purposes, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of our products or services. De-Identified Data means data from which all personally identifiable information, including direct and indirect identifiers, has been permanently removed or obscured so that the remaining information does not reasonably identify an individual and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual. If we share or publicly disclose De-Identified Data, that data will be aggregated or anonymized to reasonably avoid identification of a specific School or individual student.

Powerschool

B. CUSTOMER DATA

PowerSchool customers are mainly K through 12 schools and districts, and higher education institutions. The makeup of Customer Data processed by PowerSchool can vary by PowerSchool service and a customer’s product configuration. PowerSchool provides a full spectrum of education-related services for customers to choose from. These include K-12 education technology products, higher education products, and administration products. Customers may have one or more of these PowerSchool products and services. Depending on the product or service, Customers may provide student data, employee data, or applicant data for PowerSchool processing. The mix of data provided by each customer may also vary based on how the customer configures the PowerSchool product or service for Customer Data collection (potential variations are discussed in more detail below). For this reason, it is impossible for PowerSchool to fully document the data that it will process for each customer until after the customer has fully implemented and configured the PowerSchool product and service. The configuration may also be dynamic in that the school or district may change its data collection configuration over time. If you have questions about which data is being collected by a customer connected to you, you should direct those questions directly to the PowerSchool customer that controls your data. The customer’s privacy policy may be another good source of information.When does a customer’s privacy policy govern?? PowerSchool’s Privacy Statement does not supersede the terms of any consent form, privacy notice or privacy statement from your school, school district or higher education institution, or stated alternatively, the terms of any agreements between you and your school or school district, or higher education institution (our customers).
Who Owns Student Data Provided to PowerSchool by Customers for Processing??Student data is synonymous with Customer Data under this Privacy Statement. Accordingly, all Customer Data is owned, and thereby controlled, by our customers (school, school districts or higher education institutions). If required under applicable law, our customers are responsible for obtaining consent for PowerSchool to process Customer Data. For Customer Data processing under FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a United States federal law governing access to educational information and records, the customer designates PowerSchool as a “school official” with a legitimate educational purpose. Our customers license PowerSchool Products and purchase certain professional services for the purpose of providing, maintaining, and supporting student data for those legitimate educational purposes. PowerSchool will only process student data for the purposes of providing access to the PowerSchool Products and professional services that our customers (school or school districts) have contracted with us to provide, and we will process such student data according to instructions and the terms of our contract and data privacy agreements with our customers.?Many school districts are also obligated to parents to post information about the data that it collects. It bears mentioning again that PowerSchool processes the Customer Data under strict contractual obligations and privacy agreements signed with the customer. PowerSchool does not use or disclose Customer Data except as authorized and required by our customers and as provided for in our agreements with our customers. Because PowerSchool does not own or control Customer Data, any request for access, review, correction, or deletion of Customer Data must come directly from our customers.?With our customer’s consent, PowerSchool may receive information from affiliates in our PowerSchool Group of companies, or third parties and combine that information with Customer Data.

C. COLLECTED DATA

Although most PowerSchool on-line services and products are used by customers for Customer Data collection, PowerSchool websites and some PowerSchool products and services collect data directly from users of our website or those products and services. In these situations, PowerSchool is a “data controller” because PowerSchool determines the purposes for which and the manner in which personal information is processed. Because PowerSchool is the collector and controls the configuration of these products and services, PowerSchool can provide more detail on the data collection. These websites, products and services are further detailed below.We also collect device and usage information when you access and use the PowerSchool Products, including information that your browser or the mobile app sends when you are using our products. This data may include your unique device identifier, IP address, your browser type and configuration, the date and time of your use of the product or service and cookie data. Learn more about our use of cookies in our?Cookie Statement.

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

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), PowerSchool acts as a “school official” with “legitimate educational interests” and contractually relies on educational institutions to obtain parental consent, if required.

More generally, PowerSchool has processes and procedures in place to protect the personal information of children under 13, as detailed below. We do not use such information for any purpose other than to provide our services and for the specific uses set forth below, in accordance with contractual agreements with our customers and our Terms of Service. In addition, PowerSchool’s Schoology Basic product, our free publicly accessible version of Unified Classroom® Schoology Learning, received a PRIVO Kids Privacy Assured Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) Safe Harbor certification starting in 2016. PowerSchool has established COPPA-compliant privacy practices and has agreed to submit to PRIVO’s oversight and consumer dispute resolution process. These practices impact the development and implementation of other PowerSchool Products other than Schoology Basic.

Consent to Collect, Use, or Disclose Personally Identifiable Information from Children Under 13. Children under 13 may only use PowerSchool’s Products with the prior consent of a parent or educational institution acting on behalf of the child’s parent. We will not collect, use, or disclose any personally identifiable information from children under 13 without such consent. Educational institutions may consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of personally identifiable information from children under 13 by agreeing to purchase our products.

Personal Information from Children Under 13 Provided to PowerSchool. PowerSchool products may collect the following categories of personal information from children under 13, with the appropriate consent:

  • Information provided via customers or through use of PowerSchool’s Products, assessment data, conduct or behavior data, demographic data, enrollment data, contact information, course schedule data, online communications, student identifiers (e.g., school ID number), academic or extracurricular program membership, student-generated content, transcript data, college interests, college application list, college scholarships, career interests, and post-secondary planning data; and
  • Usage, browser and device information. PowerSchool does not allow personal information from children under 13 to be made publicly available via its Products. PowerSchool does not share personal information from children under 13 with third parties unless consented to under our customer agreements or necessary under the law.
  • Service providers, partners, and product integrations. Our service providers help us with things like data security, cloud hosting, information technology, customer support, usage and analytics, email delivery, application performance monitoring, and user identity and authentication. In addition, some of our Products may support partnerships and integrations that offer certain features to users, like CommonApp, Gallup, and McGraw-Hill Education, at the election of educational institutions (see further detail in Section IV).
  • Administrative and legal reasons. When reasonably necessary to meet and comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request; enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of PowerSchool, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.
  • Business transitions. In the event that PowerSchool goes through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, sale of all or a portion of its assets, bankruptcy, or other corporate change (including during the course of any due diligence process), this personal information may shared or transferred based on consent of our customers.

Our customers, educational institutions, may share personal information of students with educators as needed for educational purposes. PowerSchool does not control and is not responsible for this type of sharing. If you are a parent and have questions about this, please contact your child’s educational institution.

PowerSchool does not share personally identifiable information from children under 13 for advertising or marketing purposes.

Parental Rights. For PowerSchool Products provided to educational institutions, the collection, maintenance, and use of personal information from children under 13 is controlled by the educational institution that contracts with PowerSchool for use of its Products. If you are a parent and have questions regarding personally identifiable information collected from your child as part of their educational institution’s use of PowerSchool’s Products, including your rights to review, delete, and refuse further collection of such information from your child, please contact your child’s educational institution. PowerSchool cannot delete such information unless authorized by your child’s educational institution.

We keep information collected on behalf of our Customers for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, pursuant to contractual terms or as otherwise required by applicable law. We dispose of information that is not held pursuant to contractual terms within a commercially reasonable time period or at the request of a customer using reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of information

To comply with PowerSchool’s obligations under applicable data protection laws and to our customers, we provide a list of significant third-party suppliers that enable us to provide our products and services and operate our business. These third-party suppliers perform the functions described below and are considered subprocessors under applicable data protection laws (“Subprocessors”). We require our Subprocessors to implement proper security measures to safeguard and to respect the privacy rights attendant to Customer Data and Collected Data.
