Privacy Policy
This document was last updated 4/18/2011
At LearningCounts.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy. You can view most of our site without giving us any information about yourself but sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete statement.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Personal information collected by LearningCounts.org often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you purchase products or services from LearningCounts.org, you may be required to provide additional information, such as addresses or phone numbers. This data is stored separately from any personal information provided on our general web site and can only be accessed via a secure authentication mechanism. Such information is usually available for review and modification by authorized users in a User, Organization, or Site Profile within the associated application and, while various applications may share profile data in order to better provide services, is never combined with general web data.
Use of your Personal Information
We may, on occasion, hire third parties to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
LearningCounts.org will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on LearningCounts.org; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of LearningCounts.org, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of LearningCounts.org, its Web sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, LearningCounts.org will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
LearningCounts.org may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service issues related to a product or service you requested. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Security of your Personal Information
LearningCounts.org strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where LearningCounts.org, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your login ID and password, so do not share these with others.
