What Information Do We Collect About You?
We may collect Personal Data from end users affiliated with a particular school or other
educational institution or organization (“School”) who are students or teachers or

as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of
the foregoing data. We may also collect Anonymous Data. “Anonymous Data” means data that
is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself,
permit the identification of individual persons. To the extent that Anonymous Data is linked
with your Personal Data, we will treat it as Personal Data.
We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data that Students, Teachers and Schools provide to

Public Comments
If you make any comments to a Newsfeed, Educational Materials, Resource Pins or other items
or forums associated with the Site that are publicly viewable by the Edolve community, you
should be aware that any Personal Data you submit there can be read, collected, or used by
other users, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for
Personal Data that you choose to submit in these blogs and forums.
Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We use cookies to track information about your use of our Site, or Services. “Cookies”
are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web
browser for record-keeping purposes. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once
you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you
delete them). Some Cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services,
while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities but
only as those activities relate to your use of our Site and Service.
Third-Party Analytics
We may also use third party analytics tools and technologies, such as
Google Analytics, to track and analyse data from our Site, or Services. Google Analytics uses
Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and
what other site they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the data collected by such third
party analytics tools only to help us administer and improve the quality of our Site, and Services
and to analyse usage. These third parties are not permitted to use the information collected on
our behalf, except to help us conduct and improve our business. Google Analytics collects only
the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other
personally identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on
your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie
cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected
by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of
Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
We do not currently respond to “do not track”
signals from web browsers.
Teacher Profiles
- If you are a Teacher, or a Trainer, the Personal Data you provide on your Profile,
including your profile photo, is made public by default on the Site, and Services and is
viewable by other Teachers.
- Once displayed publicly, the information you post in your Profile and Newsfeed can be
collected and used by others. We cannot control who reads your Newsfeed, postings or
what other users may do with the information that you voluntarily post, so it is very
important that you exercise caution with respect to any Personal Data that you include
in your posts. Once you have posted information publicly, while you will still be able to
edit and delete it on the Site or App, you will not be able to edit or delete such
information cached, collected, and stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines).
Third-Party Links
Our Site, and Services may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such
linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy
policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of
such third-party websites.
Security of Your Personal Data
We have implemented a variety of security measures to protect the Personal Data we collect
from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We protect
your login information and the transmission of data using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and
computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust
password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password
private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any
activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Data
You have several choices regarding our use of your information on our Services:

through the profile page in your Account on our Site.

Marketing Communications
We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to Students and Teacher users
about our services, products, or events. You may opt out of such communications by following
the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business
days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt out of receiving emails about
recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you
