ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

To use password-restricted areas of the Services, or to receive Edvation newsletters, it is necessary for you to provide some personal information at registration and to maintain this information. This Privacy Policy explains why we collect this information, how it is used, and how it is protected. By accessing and using this Web site, you agree to the terms and conditions or this Privacy Policy.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

The information we collect depends on the type of use. Most importantly, we distinguish between personal and school accounts and whether the account will be used by a child under the age of 13. We do NOT collect information from children under the age of 13. Parents or legal guardians are required to set up accounts that will be used by minors. In such cases, guardian details are collected. The only optional child details that a guardian may choose to enter are the name of the child's school and a nominated email address for electronic newsletters and magazines.

Access to password-protected Services is usually purchased by state, district or school organizations. The organization then makes end-user accounts available to individuals within the organization who are authorized to use the password-protected Services. To establish entity accounts, we collect information about the organization as well as a nominated contact at the organization. Most of the information is not personal. We collect the organization's name, address, telephone, fax and email address. For the nominated contact at the organization, we collect name, position, telephone, fax and email address. Since an organization will typically have many staff, we need to know how to contact a person to coordinate the use of the Services at the organization as well as how to contact the organization in general.

To access password-protected Services, individuals require an account. To establish an individual account, the personal information we collect is name and email address. The individual account is linked to the parent (Entity) account.

To receive regular Edvation newsletters, you will be required to provide us with an email address. To ensure that individuals can only subscribe themselves, the sign-up process includes a confirmation email sent to the nominated address. Members can unsubscribe from these newsletters at their own will.

HOW PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

Private information is used to identify individual accounts, provide the account owner with account details, such as passwords, and to provide technical and other support.

We track general statistical information about people visiting our site in order to determine the composition of our client base and to improve and better market our services. For example, we need to know what geographical areas members are coming from, what browsers are being used, and what response times are being experienced. Most importantly, this process does not involve recording personal information.

Some Edvation products can include a facility that provides usage data to account administrators. For example, some organizations may purchase Services that include the ability to see when their authorized end-users have logged into the Services and which particular Services were accessed and used. This data is not provided to any other organization.

HOW PERSONAL INFORMATION IS PROTECTED

All personal information collected is kept in secure areas so as to minimize the risk of individually identifiable information being compromised. When such information is transferred over the Internet it is encrypted. We certify that all individually identifiable information is kept confidential. We do not sell or disclose any personal information about our users. Information users provide us at the time of registration or via the Account Manager is not distributed to any third party entities.

We make every effort to ensure that user information is correct and up-to-date. Members can change their information any time using the online Account Manager.

POLICY CHANGES

We reserve the right to revise our Privacy Policy. Notice of revisions will be posted here.
