‘Schole EDU’ Customers and Other Third Parties.

The web sites of certain of our customers, advertisers or affiliates and other third-parties may be accessible through the Platform and Services. You may be asked to provide personally identifiable information (or other information) to these third parties. These third parties maintain their own data privacy policies and practices.

The areas of the Platform requiring registration are noted on the Platform.

Users registering to receive an account on the Platform will be assigned a username and will select a password for purposes of accessing their accounts and the portions of the Platform available to account holders. We will send new registrants of certain parts of the Platform or Services a welcoming email to verify email address and account.

We only collect and share personally identifiable information regarding users of the Platform or Services as described in this Policy. Except as noted in this Policy, personally identifiable information collected on the Platform or through the Services is NOT shared with third parties without your consent.

We may automatically collect personally identifiable information from you when you use or access the Platform or Services. We may also collect personally identifiable information from you through a number of voluntary sources through the Platform or Services, such as responses, registrations, surveys, reviews, comments, emails, postings, messages or other submissions and communications that you provide to us.

YOU SHOULD NOT PROVIDE SCHOLE EDU WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (OR SUBMIT OR POST ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THE PLATFORM OR IN RESPONSE TO ANY COMMUNICATION) UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE US TO USE THAT INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS POLICY. LIKEWISE, YOU SHOULD NOT SUBMIT OR POST ANY INFORMATION TO THE PORTIONS OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO OTHER USERS UNLESS YOU WANT THAT INFORMATION TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO THOSE OTHER USERS OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES.

The personally identifiable information that we collect from users of the Platform or Services (both registered and unregistered) may be used for a variety of purposes, including by way of example:

  • Providing the Services;

  • Contacting users of the Platform or Services for marketing purposes; and
  • Contacting users of the Platform or Services for information verification purposes.

We may also share certain personally identifiable information we collect through the Platform or Services with third party companies so that they may offer products and services to users of our Platform or Services that we believe will be of interest to those users.

We do not permanently store the Financial Information that we collect. The Financial Information is passed through to our third-party payment processor to complete financial transactions submitted through the Platform or Services.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

Where possible, our servers automatically recognize and collect certain non-personally identifiable information regarding visitors to the Platform and users of the Services. 

We collect information such as how visitors access and use the Platform and Services, including by way of example what pages of the Platform are viewed and what portions of the Services are used. We may collect this information directly, or through a third party service provider acting on our behalf to operate the portions of the Platform or provide portions of the Services (see “Consent to the Use of Third Party Providers” section below for information on our use of third party providers). This information allows us to improve the content of the Platform and Services, facilitate research and analysis of the Platform and Services, and develop and refine our Services. Sometimes, we utilize the services of a third party to help us understand this information better, although the information that is disclosed to these entities remains in non-personally identifiable form.

Disclosure as Required by Law.

Though we make every reasonable effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personally identifiable information of certain users of the Platform or Services when we have a reasonable and good-faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to enforce the terms of use for the Platform, comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process, or to otherwise enforce or protect our rights under applicable law, including, without limitation, our intellectual property rights. In this situation we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of this disclosure to all affected users, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances.

Enhancement of Personal Information.

We may combine and enhance our user database information with data and information we collect independently from the Platform or Services and third party data and information to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers in which we think our users would be interested. We may also use certain summary demographics internally and as products provided to third parties.

Service Announcements.

On occasion it is necessary to send out service related announcements. For instance, if the Platform or any of the Services are temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. These communications are not promotional in nature.

Special Offers and Updates.

Established members may occasionally receive information on products, services and special deals, and periodic communications. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the “Choice and Opt-out” section below.

Your California Privacy Rights.

California law provides that California residents have a right to request that businesses tell them how their personally identifiable information has been shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. However, there is an exception to this requirement for businesses that have adopted and disclosed, in their privacy policy, a policy of not disclosing a person’s personally identifiable information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes if that person has exercised an option to opt-out of the disclosure of their personally identifiable information to third parties for such purposes.

We have adopted a policy of allowing you to opt-out of the disclosure of your personally identifiable information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes and thus falls within this exception. Instructions for opting out can be found in the section below entitled “Choice and Opt-Out,” or you may click here to make your request.

International Use

Our Services are provided in the United States and are intended solely for the use of users in the United States; however, if you use and access the Platform or our Services from outside the United States, then be aware that United States laws apply to Schole EDU, the Platform and our Services, as opposed to any foreign or regional law that might relate to intellectual property rights, privacy rights, collection of data, or other rights.

Choice and Opt-out.

We provide you with a choice whether to receive certain emails and other communications through the Platform and Services.

We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes. You may opt-out of receiving email or telephone calls from us or having your email address shared with third parties. In addition, you may opt-out of having your personally identifiable information shared with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

All opt-out requests can be made by submitting a support inquiry via our HelpDesk. Our contact information is found in the section below entitled “Contact Information.”

“Web beacons” (also known as “single–pixel” or “clear” GIFs) include electronic images imbedded in the Platform or in communications sent through the Services which are invisible to users. Web beacons collect information, such as identifiers, time and date of access, and descriptions of the pages or communications in which the web beacons are imbedded. The Platform and communications sent through the Services may include web beacons. We may use the web beacons on the Platform and communications sent through the Services for various purposes, including by way of example to track users who have visited our Platform or otherwise accessed communications sent through the Services.

We may also use a third party provider to analyze data and patterns regarding usage of the Platform and the communications sent through Services. This third party provider may use cookies or web beacons to collect such information.

Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. You may also be able to refuse certain web beacons by adjusting the settings on your browser or email software. Please refer to your browser or email software instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.

Consent to the Use of Third Party Providers.

In addition to the specific third parties noted in this Policy, we may also contract with other third parties to operate various portions of the Platform or provide various portions of the Services on an outsourced basis. For example, we may contract with a web site hosting provider to host all or a portion of the Platform or Services or provide users with remote access to our HelpDesk. We may also use a third party payment processor to facilitate payments for the Platform or Services.

Notification of Changes.

We may change this Policy at any time. If we change this Policy, we will notify users through a posting of the change to the Platform or by way of an email. Changes to this Policy will be effective upon the earlier of the date 30 days following the date we provide notification of the changes or the date on which you agree to the changes on the Platform or through the Services. In any case, even if you have not been asked to agree to a change to this Policy, your continued use of the Platform or Services after 30 days following notification of that change will constitute your acceptance of the change. 

Security.

We work hard to safeguard your data, and we take reasonable and appropriate steps using a range of technological and organizational security controls.  While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we strive to take all reasonable steps to safeguard your personal information. For example, our policy is that only those individuals who need your personally identifiable information to perform a specific job are granted access to that personally identifiable information. Despite these safeguards, due to inherent uncertainty in the use of the internet and information systems and the potential for unlawful attacks by third parties, we cannot guarantee that the use of the Platform will be completely safe or secure.
