WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

In general, when you use this Site, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information that you knowingly and voluntarily choose to disclose that is collected by us, and website usage information that is collected by us as you interact with the Site. More specifically, we collect information in the following ways:

At the point of registration

When you register as a Member (as defined in the Terms of Use) of the Site, you will set up a username and password for use in accessing those features of the Site that are limited to Members. Please note that you are not required to use your actual name or any other personally identifiable information in your username or password; however, your username and password will be tied to a customer number that tells us the school, school district or other organization with which you are associated. If you choose to use your name or any other personally identifiable information in your user name or password, you acknowledge and agree that the provision of such information is voluntary and within your control.

Postings

If you choose to create any Postings (as defined in the Terms of Use), such as by using a bulletin board or "chat" feature of the Site, you should be aware that any personal or other information you include in those Postings will be available to users who view those Postings. We do not control the content of Postings, and you create Postings at your own risk. We are not responsible for any personally identifiable information you choose to include in any Postings, and your inclusion of such information in any Postings may result in unsolicited communications from third parties.

Cookies and Other Technologies

We receive and store certain types of information when you interact with this Site. For example, like many websites, we use cookies, which are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide customized features to you. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of this Site's features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Prior to user registration, Pearson may employ cookie or other technologies on this Site to track information such as your IP address, type of browser, referring pages and other visitor information. We collect this information for the following purposes: (1) to provide statistical analysis of web page traffic patterns; (2) to administer our Site and servers; (3) to allow for auditing of our services by third parties; (4) for internal marketing purposes; (5) to guard against fraud (e.g., users supplying customer numbers authorizing access to the Site to others not associated with their organization) and (6) to improve our visitors' experience online. Prior to user registration, we do not link IP addresses to any personally-identifiable information. However, once you voluntarily register and establish your user name and password (whether or not these include personally identifiable information), the information provided by you or collected through the cookie technology may be used by us for our business purposes.

USE, SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

The information we learn from users helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at this Site in furtherance of serving our users' needs and our business purposes. The information that you provide to us or that we collect from your usage of the website may be used by our company to help us improve the website, and also for our company's marketing and promotional purposes.

As noted above, you are not required to submit any personally identifiable information to us to register as a Member (although you will need a valid customer number). If you do disclose personally identifiable information to us (for example, by using your name as your user name or password), then except as specifically stated herein, our policy is not to share your personal information with third parties. We may, however, share this information with affiliates of Pearson, or other companies and organizations that perform work for us under contract to develop or administer the Site. We also may disclose personally identifiable information in the following situations: (a) in response to a subpoena, court order or legal process, to the extent permitted and required by law; (b) to protect user security or the security of other persons, consistent with applicable laws; (c) in connection with a sale, joint venture or other transfer of some or all of the assets of Pearson; or (d) in order to enforce the Site's Terms of Use (including this Privacy Policy). We otherwise exercise commercially reasonable care to not otherwise share or disclose the names of users or any personally identifiable information with third parties, except with the prior approval of the user.

We may collect anonymous, aggregated data about users of the Site or their usage patterns for our business purposes, and we may provide this data to third parties.
