Privacy Policy

Version Effective Date: June 30, 2020

Introduction

We work to protect the privacy and security of all of our users, including teachers, administrators and schools, to make sure your information is safe, private and available. We strive to collect only the data needed to provide and improve our services.

We do not advertise in any of our products, sell your personal information to anyone, or track users to target ads on other websites. All users are automatically opted out of selling their data for any reason.

What Information We Collect

We collect personal information from you when you submit it to us on our company website or use our online software (our “Services”). We may also collect this information from an administrator at your school or district directly or via integration with a third-party service selected by someone in your school or district. We collect Anonymous Information through your use of the Services which is not linked to your Personal Information through cookies and other analytic technologies. See below for more information about how we use cookies.

Information We Collect from Teachers or Administrators

Account information – If you have an account (which your school or district may have created on your behalf), we may collect your name, email address, a password, your school and/or district. If you create or upload assessments or other academic or educational resources or materials (“Educational Materials”), we collect the content of these materials and metadata you provide about them, such as tags, DOK levels and alignment to learning standards.

Communications information – If you contact us via online submission, telephone, electronic mail or regular mail, we may keep a record of that correspondence. If you post comments or opinions to us on the Services or third-party websites where we have a profile or presence (e.g. on our Facebook page), we may keep a record of the comments.

Information about how you use the Service – We collect data about how you use the Services, such as the time you access the Service, the length of your session(s), the website you come to the Service from, selections and choices you make and preferences that you set when using the Service as well as any data you input while conducting any work, including assessments, in the Service.

Information about how you connect to the Service – We collect data about the computer or other electronic device (“Device”) you use to connect to the Service such as details about the type of Device (which can include unique device identifying numbers), its operating system, browser and applications connected to the Service through the device, your Internet service provider or mobile network, your IP address and your Device’s telephone number (if it has one). While we collect the location of your school or district, we do not automatically collect information about your actual location, other than an approximate location (usually no more precise than city level), which can be determined from your IP address.

 

How We Use Your Information – Teachers or Administrators

To provide the Services to you and your school or district – We use information (if any) collected from teachers, administrators to create and manage accounts.

To provide you with information about our Services – We use information collected from teachers and administrators to respond to your inquiries and address comments and issues you have about the Services. We also use this information to notify you of changes to the Services, or provide you information about new products or updates to the Services that we feel may interest you, in accordance with your activities and preferences. We do not share Personal Information of any of our users with third parties for their marketing purposes, nor track users to target advertisements on our or other websites.

 

When we share teacher or administrator information

We do not sell teacher or administrator personal information. We will disclose the Personal Data that we collect from you only as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may share information with third parties that provide a service to us or to you

To provide the Services to you, we use other companies for services like hosting, messaging, and tracking support issues and analytics. We only contract with third party vendors whose privacy policies are consistent with this policy. These third parties are required not to use your Personal Data other than to provide their services to us and to your school or district. If you request that we share data with a third-party partner, such as a curriculum publisher, to provide services to you or your school or district, we will ask you to explicitly provide permission for the data to be shared. We will not disclose Personal Data to third parties for marketing or for any other purposes not described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose information in a change of business

In the event that we sell or buy or transfer any business or assets (in part or whole), we may disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer or recipient of such business or assets, and they will be required to maintain the privacy and security of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will notify you via email or prominently on our website prior to such a transfer and provide you information on your choices to limit or prohibit transfer of your Personal Information.

We will share data when required by law, or to protect us and others

We may disclose user information to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal duty or obligation (including without limitations requests or demands from law enforcement and government authorities and regulators). We may also disclose information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual prohibited activities, including but not limited to, fraud and situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or to prevent financial loss to any person or entity.

Use of cookies and other technologies

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Services or a third party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. When you use and access the Services, we may place cookies files in your web browser. We use cookies for the following purposes: to enable certain functions of the Services, to store your preferences, to report usage statistics of the Services and to ensure functionality of the Service such as load balancing and fraud prevention. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertisements, nor to target users with behavioral advertising. If you’d like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.

How we keep your data secure

We have implemented a variety of security measures to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We encrypt Personal Data while at rest, and protect your login information and the transmission of data using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your account by creating and maintaining a strong password and keeping it private. While our employees may ask for your username to provide you support, we will not ask for your password. If we learn of a data security incident that compromises or appears to compromise your Personal Information, then we will attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may also post a notice on the Services if a data security incident occurs. We delete or de-identify data including personal identifiable information as well as indirect identifiers, such as an email, IP address, and the other kinds of information that are ‘technical’ and ‘non-personal for all users when it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you or your school or district, or when requested by a school or district at the termination of a contract.

Links to other sites

The Services may link to and may be linked by websites operated by other entities or individuals. Some of these websites, such as our Facebook page and YouTube channel, may be co-branded with our name or logo. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot always control the activities of, such other third-party websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of those third-party websites.

International visitors

Our Services are operated and managed on servers located within the United States. If you choose to use our Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that differ from U.S. law, then you acknowledge and agree that you are transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the United States and that, by providing your Personal Information on the Services, you consent to that transfer.

Accessing and deleting your personal information

You may opt not to provide, or later edit or delete any of the non-required information from your Personal Data through the profile page in your account on our Services. You may request deletion of your Personal Data or your entire account by submitting a request on Teachonomy’s parent account Achieve3000’s Privacy Webform or call 1-888-914-9661 and use PIN 811522. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request. Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified or deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Services for a period of time.

Marketing Communications

We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to teachers and administrators about our services, products, or events. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. If you opt out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you administrative emails about your account or any Services you have requested or received from us.
