Like most website operators, Eduset collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Eduset's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Eduset's visitors use its website. From time to time, Eduset may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Eduset also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Eduset does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to Eduset's websites choose to interact with Eduset in ways that require Eduset to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Eduset gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at Eduset.com to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Eduset - by purchasing access to Eduset's premium service, for example - are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Eduset collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Eduset. Eduset does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Eduset may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Eduset may monitor the most popular school districts on the Eduset.com site. Eduset may publicly display this information or provide it to others. However, Eduset does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Eduset discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Eduset's behalf or to provide services available at Eduset's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Eduset's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Eduset will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Eduset discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Eduset believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Eduset, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Eduset website and have supplied your email address, Eduset may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Eduset and our products.
We primarily use our product blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Eduset takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
