1. Introduction
This website and accompanying mobile and online Services (herein, the
“Services”) are owned and operated by Inspiredu, Inc. (“Inspiredu”). This
Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) explains how we collect, protect, use, and share
information obtained through the Services. Your use of our Services and any
information you provide on our Services are subject to the terms of this Policy,
which is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service. Any capitalized
terms used but not defined within this Policy have the meaning given to them
in our Terms of Service.
You should take the time to read through this Policy, and if you have any
questions, please contact us at the address listed at the end. Inspiredu may
revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Inspiredu will notify users of
material changes to the Privacy Policy by posting the revised Privacy Policy
with an updated date of revision on our Services and by notifying registered
users of the change with an opportunity to accept the change. Your continued
use of the Services following the effective date of such update constitutes
your acceptance of the revised Policy.
2. What Information Do We Collect?
If you use an account on the Services, or communicate with Inspiredu, you
may provide to Inspiredu what is called “Personally Identifiable Information,”
such as your full name, birthdate, email address, or other information that can
be used to identify you as well as additional information that is collected on an
individual level and linked to personally identifiable information. We collect
information, including Personally Identifiable Information, in a variety of ways
which may vary according to your use of the Services and your account
settings.
Basic information
When you create an account on the Services, we may collect Personally
Identifiable Information including your name, email address, and birthdate. In
addition, we may ask you for Personally Identifiable Information at other times,
such as when you contact our technical support team, send us an email,
complete a user survey, or otherwise communicate with Inspiredu.
Information from integrated sign-on services
If you register through or otherwise grant access to a third-party sign-on
service (an “Integrated Service”), such as Google, Clever or similar single
sign-on services, Inspiredu may also collect Personally Identifiable Information
that is already associated with your Integrated Services account. You may
also have the option of sharing additional information with Inspiredu through
an Integrator, as controlled through your settings on that Integrator. If you
choose to provide such information, during registration or otherwise, Inspiredu
will treat the information as Personally Identifiable Information and will use it in
the ways described in this Privacy Policy.
Information obtained from other users
We make available certain features on our Services that allow other users to
provide us information about you. For example, a parent or teacher may
provide information relating to a Child User.
Information about your use of our Services
We may collect usage information about your use of our Services. This
enables us to better tailor experiences that are most appropriate for you.
Location information
We may collect and use information about your location (such as your
country) or infer your approximate location based on your IP address in order
to provide you with tailored experiences for your region, but we don’t collect
the precise geolocation of you or your device. You may be able to change the
settings on your computer or mobile device to prevent it from providing us with
any location information.
Donation and applicant information.
If you donate to Inspiredu, we may obtain your name and other identifying
information, or if you apply for a job with Inspiredu via an online recruiting site,
we will obtain the information you provide in your application for that purpose.
Usage and device information
To provide a personalized learning and high-quality experience for our users,
we may use various technologies that automatically record certain technical
information from your browser or device when you visit our website, read our
emails, use our Services or otherwise engage with us. This information is
typically collected through a variety of tracking technologies, including
cookies, web beacons, Flash objects, log files, and similar technology
(collectively, “tracking technologies”). These tracking technologies cookies
collect information about how you use the Services (e.g., the pages you view,
the links you click, and other actions you take on the Services), information
about your browser and online usage patterns (e.g., Internet Protocol (“IP”)
address, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs,
pages viewed, whether you opened an email, links clicked), and information
about the device(s) you use to access the Services (e.g., mobile device
identifier, mobile carrier, device type, screen size, model and manufacturer,
mobile device operating system brand and model, and whether you access
the Services from multiple devices). We may collect analytics data, or use
third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics, to help us measure traffic
and usage trends for the Sites and to understand more about the
demographics of our users. You can learn more about Google’s practices
at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and view its currently
available opt-out options at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We use or may use the data collected through tracking technologies to better
display our website, to save you time, to provide better technical support, for
promotional purposes, and to track website usage. For example, cookies help
us to keep track of whether you are signed in or have previously signed in so
that we can display all the features that are available to you; remember your
settings on the pages you visit, so that we can display your preferred content
the next time you visit; and customize the function and appearance of the
pages you visit based on information relating to your account.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
However, some features and services (particularly those that require you to
sign-in) may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. You may also
set your email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that
may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have
accessed our email and performed certain functions with it.
Deleting cookies does not delete Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as Flash
objects and HTML5. You can learn more about Flash objects – including how
to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies – on Adobe’s
website or by clicking here. Various browsers may offer their own
management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs. Please consult your browser’s
“Help” function to learn more. If you choose to delete Flash objects from our
Services, then you may not be able to access and use all or part of the
Services or benefit from the information and Services offered.
3. How We Use Information
Inspiredu uses information we collect:
• to communicate with you
• to personalize your experience while using our Services for educational
purposes
• to provide and improve our Services for educational purposes
Inspiredu takes great care to protect the information you provide us. We do
not rent or sell Personally Identifiable Information that we collect from users
with third parties.
Inspiredu will disclose Personally Identifiable Information when you post
content with Personally Identifiable Information which is visible to others on
the Services or when you otherwise consent or instruct us to share your
Personally Identifiable Information with third parties. Please note that the user
name that is assigned to you during the registration process will identify you
on the Site, and this information (in conjunction with content that you post)
may be viewed by other Users in certain circumstances such as in a
Community in which you participate. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS ON THE SITE OF YOUR
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION.
Inspiredu may share information with our employees and trusted vendors,
third party Services providers, and other individuals to provide services or
products for us or on our behalf, which could include analytics, hosting,
marketing and similar services. When we share Personally Identifiable
Information with third party service providers or vendors, these third parties
are obligated to manage this Personally Identifiable Information consistent
with the security and data retention principles of this Policy.
In the event that Inspiredu is involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy,
change of control, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, your
Personally Identifiable Information may be transferred or disclosed in
connection with such business transaction. If the transaction involves the
transfer of Student Records to a third party, we will require the new owner to
continue to honor the terms provided in this Privacy Policy, or we will provide
the School with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of the transfer of Student
Records by deleting Student Records before the transfer occurs.
Inspiredu may release Personally Identifiable Information if we have a good
faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such information is
reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal
process, or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce applicable Terms
of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) investigate
and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (d) detect,
prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (e) protect
the rights, property, or personal safety of Inspiredu, our users, or the public; (f)
to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may
sustain; or (g) as required or permitted by law.
We may disclose anonymous or aggregate information that does not
reasonably identify you as an individual.
4. Our Commitment to our Donors
We will not sell, share or trade our donors’ names or other Personally
Identifiable Information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors
on behalf of other organizations.
This policy applies to all information received by Inspiredu in any manner,
including but not limited to offline, web, and mobile methods, and applies to all
electronic, written, or oral communications by Inspiredu.
To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party Services
provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to
process the donation.
5. No Targeted Advertising
Inspiredu does not display any targeted advertising on our Services.
6. Your Choice and Options Relating to Data Collection and
Use
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personally Identifiable
Information we store, and use is accurate, complete, and up to date. If you
discover that Personally Identifiable Information or other data pertaining to you
is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date, please update your account
information or contact us as described at the bottom of this Policy.
You may always decline to provide your Personally Identifiable Information
with Inspiredu. If you decline to register with our Services, however, Inspiredu
will not be able to provide to your certain features found on our Services. You
may later enable or access those features by providing Inspiredu with the
necessary Personally Identifiable Information.
You can choose to provide only information that does not reasonably identify
you, such as by selecting a username that is not related to your actual name.
You can also decline to provide any optional data.
You may revoke Inspiredu’s access to your account on any Integrated
Services, such as Google or Clever, at any time by updating the appropriate
settings in the account preferences of the respective Integrated Services. You
should check your privacy settings on each Integrated Services to understand
and change the information sent to us through each Integrated Services.
Please review each Integrated Services’s terms of use and privacy policies
carefully before using their Services and connecting to our Services.
Inspiredu may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and
services. You can choose not to receive these emails by clicking the
unsubscribe link in any e-mail. Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from
non-promotional messages regarding your account, such as account
verification, changes or updates to features of the Services, or technical or
security notices.
7. Student Data Policies
Staff of schools, districts, and other educational institutions (collectively,
“Schools”) that enroll students in the Services warrant that they do so in
compliance with federal, state, and local law governing enrollment of students
in online educational programs, including parental consent requirements. We
request and collect Personally Identifiable Information about the Users under
13 years of age only if enrolled by Schools as described above or with the
consent of the child’s parent or guardian or School staff.
We may receive and collect Personally Identifiable information about students
including information defined as “educational records” (herein, “Student
Records”) by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) in
accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service and applicable
federal, state, and local laws governing data privacy. Inspiredu may provide
Schools access to Student Records and account data for Users from such
Schools. We will not collect, maintain, use or share student Personally
Identifiable Information beyond that needed for educational or school
purposes or as authorized by parents or students. Educational or school
purposes consist of services and functions that customarily take place at the
direction of the educational institution or staff, for which the institution
otherwise use its own employees, and services and functions that aid in the
administration or improvement of educational and school activities including
instruction, administration, and development and improvement of products
and services intended for educational and school use.
Parents, legal guardians, and students age 18 and older can request the
opportunity to review Personally Identifiable Information in a student’s records
and correct erroneous information by submitting a request to Inspiredu.org.
8. Deletion of Personally Identifiable Information
A School may request deletion of a Student User account created by the
School, or Personally Identifiable Information therein, by submitting a request
to studentdata@Inspiredu.org. A parent or legal guardian may request
deletion of a Student User account not created by a School, or Personally
Identifiable Information therein, by submitting a request
to studentdata@Inspiredu.org. A User other than a Student may request
deletion of the User’s account, or Personally Identifiable Information therein,
by submitting a request to info@Inspiredu.org.
We will take all reasonable efforts to ensure appropriate deletion pursuant to
the request process specified herein upon confirmation of identity. We are not
required to delete any information which has been de-identified or
disassociated with personal identifiers such that it can no longer be used to
reasonably identify a particular individual.
9. Data Security
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your
identity before granting your account access or making corrections to your
information. For example, we may ask you to provide certain Personally
Identifiable Information to confirm your identity, and we may require that you
create and use a password to access certain parts of our Services. You
should create and maintain a strong password to help ensure the security of
your account.
Inspiredu uses certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards
designed to preserve the integrity and security of your Personally Identifiable
Information and other information we maintain in connection with our
Services. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any or all of
the information you transmit to Inspiredu, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission of information, Inspiredu makes
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. When
you enter sensitive information, we encrypt the transmission of that
information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or similar
technologies. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such
information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach
of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Your use of the
Services indicates that you are willing to assume this risk. If you have reason
to believe that your interaction with the Services is no longer secure, you must
immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us. In the event that
Personally Identifiable Information under our control is compromised as a
result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the
situation and will notify you of the security incident in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
10. International Visitors
We prohibit use of our Services by European Union users. We use the
encrypted third-party cookie _ezigdpr_4afe7e0334edf6a0 on the domain
fast.ezigdpr.com to store information about visitors’ European Union status.
Data stored includes: a unique anonymous identifier; your European Union
status (yes/no) and the date you made the selection. For non-European Union

a more complete audit trail. This data, as well as a log of changes to the data,
is stored in the EziGDPR database. For more information,
visit www.ezigdpr.com.
Our Services are operated and managed on servers located within the United
States. If you choose to use our Services from regions of the world with laws
governing data collection and use that differ from United States law, then you
acknowledge that Inspiredu will transfer your Personally Identifiable
Information to the United States for the purpose of performing the Services
according to our Terms of Service.

the display of such content on our Services does not imply our endorsement
of the Linked Site or of any site linked directly or indirectly from any Linked

If you provide any Personally Identifiable Information through any Linked Site
or any site linked directly or indirectly from any linked site, the Personally
Identifiable Information you provide may be collected by, and controlled by the
privacy policy of, that third party. We are not responsible for the privacy

relies on the services and materials on this Site agrees to do so according to
these Terms. Inspiredu may amend or modify these Terms by posting an
update to this Site, and you agree to accept the new Terms by using or relying
on our services and materials after such notice. You should take the time to
read through these Terms, and if you have any questions, please contact us
at the address listed at the end.
Privacy
Inspiredu has established a comprehensive Privacy Policy, which is
considered part of our Terms of Service. Please read the Privacy Policy to
understand Inspiredu’s commitment to the privacy of our users.
Intellectual Property
The Site contains material that is protected by national and international
trademark, service mark, copyright, patent, and other intellectual property
laws. To the full extent provided under the United States Copyright Act and all
national and international copyright laws, Inspiredu, its licensors and
suppliers, and other entities whose content is displayed on this site own all
copyright rights in the text, images, graphics, user interface, and other content
provided on this site, other than content used pursuant to the doctrine of fair
use, and the selection, coordination, and arrangement of such content. Except
as expressly provided herein, nothing stated or implied on this site confers on
you any license or right under any copyright of Inspiredu or any third party,
and except as expressly provided herein you may not modify, copy,
reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any material from
this site including code and software. However, you may print pages from this
site solely for individual, noncommercial use, provided that all users of these
pages keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices and provided that
all use of such pages for any purpose terminates after your contract
termination or expiration.
The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively
the “Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered trademarks of
Inspiredu, Inspiredu’s licensors and suppliers, and others. Inspiredu and
EduStar are registered trademarks of Inspiredu, and Inspiredu Connect is a
trademark of Inspiredu. The Trademarks owned by Inspiredu, whether
registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or
service that is not Inspiredu’s, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion
with customers, or in any manner that disparages Inspiredu. Nothing
contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication,
estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark without the
express written permission of Inspiredu, Inspiredu’s licensors or suppliers, or
the third-party owner of any such Trademark. Misuse of any Trademarks is
prohibited, and Inspiredu will aggressively enforce its intellectual property
rights in its Trademarks, including via civil and criminal proceedings.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse
for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet
infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that
materials hosted by Inspiredu infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may
send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it
blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or
electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted
work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located
on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such
works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the
subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow
Inspiredu to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone
number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a
statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the
material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright
owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the
notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining
party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to
send Inspiredu a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the
then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with
respect to the Site should be sent to the address set forth below. We suggest
that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice.
Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
Please note that Inspiredu may terminate any user who it reasonably believes
to be a repeat copyright infringer.
