As used in this Privacy Policy, “we” or “us” refers to LearningStation.com, Inc., a leading applications service provider (ASP) to the educational market. We offer one of the industry’s most comprehensive suites of education-oriented applications, providing students and teachers access to instructional applications, content and professional development titles through our internet web site at www.learningstation.com. We also offer productivity tools to assist teachers. These educational applications and productivity tools are provided either directly from our web site or from the web site of one of our content providers using a link from our web site. We also offer our users the ability to store content on our web site.
Our Information Collection Practices
We do not request any information from students using our web site.
We do not deposit cookies from our web site on your hard drive. (A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user.)
We do issue a block of usernames, subscription IDs and passwords to our client schools and assign a unique Username and Password to each authorized user, including each student and faculty member desiring to have access to our web site.
We do employ technology on our web site that enables us to track the activity of each Username accessing our site. This activity data allows us to understand how our site is being used and make decisions regarding site operation and future modifications. We share this activity data with our client schools and, in aggregate form, with prospective clients. This activity data enables us – and our client schools – to evaluate which applications are being used so that we may determine the most beneficial use of the web site.
We do use another company to host our web site. This hosting company may collect and maintain information associated with activity of our web site, such as, for example, information collected by server logs. If you would like to find out more about the privacy practices of our hosting company, please contact us using the contact information below and we will provide you with the name of our current hosting company so that you may contact them to inquire about their privacy practices.
It is possible to use our web site to contact us and/or make suggestions to us. When you use our web site to contact us, we ask you to provide such information as: your name, position, company or school name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and the products or services that you are interested in learning more about. We use this information to respond to your request. We do not distribute this information to third parties. If you choose to submit suggestions or recommendations to us via our web site then by doing so you agree that we may implement or make use of your suggestions or recommendations without compensation or attribution to you. If an authorized user forgets his or her password, it is possible for the user to request his password using our site. In this event, we ask the authorized user to provide his or her name, username, school name, phone number, email address and any comments that the user wants to submit. We use this information to verify the authorization of the requestor and to respond to the request. We do not distribute this information to third parties.
Some portions of our site may allow users to send email messages, post messages to a general message board, or participate in chat room services. Users sending such email messages, posting to such bulletin boards, or participating in such on-line chat sessions should recognize that any information disclosed by the user in such messages, posts or chat sessions, as well as the user’s email address, may be accessible to others viewing the message, message boards or participating in the chat session.
User Stored Information
We provide a limited amount of information storage for users of our web site. We do not routinely harvest or otherwise monitor information stored on our site by our users, but such information is copied during the normal course of our back up routines. All such information is removed from our web site after each user’s access authorization expires, although we do not delete user stored information from our back up media after transfer thereto.
Linked Sites
For the convenience of our users, our web site includes links to a number of web sites operated by other companies. Also, many of the applications we make available to our clients are made available from the web sites of our content providers through our web site. For example, an authorized user viewing an educational desktop on our site may activate an icon which acts as a link, accessing the web site of one of our content providers. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any such linked web sites. We recommend that our users read and understand the privacy policies of each linked web site that they visit. If you are ever unclear about whether any particular application or content is being provided by a linked third party web site, please contact us using the information below. Please note that third party web sites linked to our site may use banner advertisement companies that collect information from users visiting the linked sites.
Moreover, because some of the sites to which we link contain search engines, or contain further links to web sites containing search engines, it may be possible for users of our web site to access material that may be inappropriate for their viewing.
If We Change This Policy
If we decide to change our policy regarding privacy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on our web site. Any information we collect from you will be subject to the Privacy Policy in place at the time we collect the information. Use of our web site after posting of a revised privacy policy, however, constitutes agreement with the revised policy and thus information submitted or collected after a revised Privacy Policy is posted will be subject to the revised policy. We urge you to check the Privacy Policy posted on our web site each time you use the site.
Corporate Changes
As indicated by the discussion above, our business does not significantly rely upon the collection of large amounts of information from users of our site. Notwithstanding this, we reserve the right to transfer any information that we have properly collected in accordance with our Privacy Policy to another business entity should we be acquired, dissolve, acquire other companies, merge with other companies, sell our assets, or seek protection under bankruptcy laws.
Disclosure For Legal Purposes
We reserve the right to disclose information collected through this web site in the event that we or our attorneys form a good-faith belief that such disclosure is required by law or legal process. We also reserve the right to disclose information collected through this web site in those special cases where we believe such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our web site Terms of Use or may be causing injury to or interfering with this web site, LearningStation.com, Inc., or third parties.
