Do
We Share The Information We Collect?
From
time to time, we do share customer information with the affiliates
of our company and with third parties -- but only
as follows. We
occasionally share general information about our web site with
our advertisers and associates so they can learn how visitors
tend to navigate through the site. As described above, this
general information does not include any personally identifying
information.
To
the extent permitted by law, we may also share your personal
information if we believe it is necessary to comply with law,
to enforce or apply our Terms
of Use, or to protect the rights, property, or safety
of WWW.EDUCOTECH.COM, its subsidiaries or our users.
This may include, for example, sharing information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction.
Other
than as described above, we will provide you notice when we
propose to share your personal information with third parties,
and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share that
information.
Affiliated
Sites, Linked Sites and Advertisements
We expect our advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy
of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our
site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on our website(s),
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third
party.
Other
companies occasionally make special offers available directly
to our customers. You will have an opportunity to receive information
about these offers. If you request to receive information about
these offers, we will share your personal information with these
companies so that they can send you details about their special
offers. Each of these companies has its own policies with regard
to the collection and use of personal information and we are
not responsible for their use of your information.
Through
our website(s) you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered
by other parties. We are not responsible for the actions or
policies of such third parties. This is also why you are personally
responsible for checking the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing information on a feature
or page operated by a third party.
While
on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt
to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by
third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser
to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before.
Other
features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. We doe not and cannot control the use of this technology
by third parties or the resulting information, and we are not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
We
utilize the services other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples may include providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. These other companies will have access to your personal
information only as necessary to perform their functions and
to the extent permitted by law.
Online
Security
We use a secure computer system to protect personally identifying
information used on our website(s). While this technology does
not completely guarantee the security of your information, it
does make it very difficult for information to be stolen or
intercepted while being transferred and stored. Notwithstanding,
the Internet is not a secure medium, so be aware that communications
over it are subject to third-party interception and eavesdropping.
Public
Forums
Our site(s) may contain, from time to time, public forums available
to users. Please remember that any information you disclose
in these areas becomes public information. You should take appropriate
measures to protect your personally identifiable information.
You
should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas,
that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected
and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result
in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond our control and beyond the control
of this policy.
Email
Communications and Newsletters
We send out occasional email newsletters to our customers. Our
newsletters contain information about new products, special
promotions, product updates, discounts and unique offers. You
have the option to unsubscribe any any time by logging in and
updating your Newsletter Preferences.
Credit
and Debit Card Information
We use third party payment processors like PayPal to process
credit card and debit card orders, so we do not have access
to your credit card information at all. Whenever you make a
purchase at our website(s), you are transferred to the secure
servers of our payment processors. Please note that none of
your credit card information is ever stored in our site database.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a very small text document that a web
site can send to a visitor's browser, which then may get stored
on that visitor's computer. Here's how they work: When you visit
a website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission
to store a very small text document (a "cookie") in
a part of your computer's hard drive that is specifically designated
for cookies. Cookies usually include a unique, anonymous identifier.
A
cookie can be used to identify a repeat user to the site that
placed the cookie on the computer. Cookies also can be used
to track your movement from page to page, or within a single
page of a web site. Some of our web pages and affiliate web
pages use cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your
browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but -- and this
is very important -- your browser only permits a given website
to access the cookies that it has already sent to you and not
the cookies sent to you by other sites. This is designed to
protect your privacy.
We
use cookies because, among other things, this allows us to personalize
content, banners, and promotions that you see on our site. We
also use information obtained from cookies to learn how you
navigate through our website(s).
Note:
You can set your browser software to notify you when receiving
a cookie, and you have the option not to accept cookies at all.
Because some of our services require the use of cookies, if
you refuse to accept cookies or if you remove a cookie that
is on your computer, it will affect your ability to log into
certain areas and your ability to use some of the tools and
content on our website(s).
Children
We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted
by law. If we discover we have received any information from
a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete
that information immediately. If you believe we have any information
from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address
listed below.
Contact Us
Educo Technologies, Inc. encourages you to give us feedback.
Please submit feedback by e-mailing info@educotech.com.
Any feedback that is submitted becomes the property of Educo
Technologies, Inc. Feedback, such as customer suggestions or
testimonials, may be used for a variety of purposes. This could
include, for example, our marketing purposes or to contact users
about our website(s).
Terms
of Use and Privacy Commitment Changes
If you choose to visit our website(s), your visit and any dispute
about the use of your personal information will be governed
by this Privacy Notice and by our Terms
of Use.
As
our business changes, we may need to revise our Privacy Notice
and Terms of Use. Please
be aware that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, our
use of information is governed by the Privacy Notice
in effect at the time we use the information. Questions,
comments or concerns about our Privacy Policy should
be sent to info@educotech.com.
Governing
Law
If a dispute arises under this Policy we agree
to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon
mediator. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated
with the mediation will be shared equally by each of us. If
it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution
through mediation, we agree to submit the dispute to binding
arbitration, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered
in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
