INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Integria collects information about you directly through our Sites, automatically when you visit the Sites, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name and email address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as aggregating or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as “hash”. We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, then we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy.

Information You Provide Directly

Visitors may provide certain information directly to the Sites, such as when you contact us for information about our products, customer support, or research inquiries, when you register for an account, or when you sign-up for our email mailing list.

In order to obtain access to and use our learning platforms, we ask you to register to become a member. During this member registration process, and through other interactions on our Sites and across the learning platforms, we collect information that teachers and administrators provide to us as well as information about their students, including, but not limited to, your name, the school or school district you work for, the physical address of your school, your job title, the grades and curricula you teach, your student roster, your email address, and your phone number. When you register for the learning platforms, we will also ask you to create a password. When you use the learning platforms, we collect information about your interactions with the learning platforms, including the courses you use. Some of our learning platforms offer live courses, which may be recorded and made available for later viewing within the Learning Platform.

We may also ask you for feedback about the usage of various products and services as well as satisfaction with those products and services.

Information We Collect Automatically

We and our third-party business partners may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information when you visit or interact with our Sites (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include your browser types and versions and operating system you are using, search terms and results within the Sites and all areas of the Sites that you visit, date and time you visit the Sites, the length of your stay on certain courses or pages and your language settings, among other information. In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone or other device you may use to access the Sites. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device used to access the Sites, and our servers identify your device by its Device Identifier. We may be able to collect or infer your approximate location through information we collect, such as IP address.

Many browsers and devices allow you to block the transmission of automatically collected information, such as your IP address, or to block the installation of cookies. You may choose to enable these options. However, enabling these options may prevent you from using many of the core features and functions available on our Sites.

The technologies that may be used to collect Usage Information include the following:

Cookies.

When you use our Sites, Integria may store data in “cookies” or similar technology on your devices, which are data files placed on your computer or other device when you visit the Sites or otherwise access our online content. We use both session and persistent cookies (which remains on your computer after the browser has been closed). Integria may use cookies for many purposes, including, without limitation, to collect information about how you use our Sites (including to track the pages you’ve visited), to remember you and your settings and your preferences, and to show you personalized content based on information we have collected or inferred about you, such as your school district and your academic interests. This information allows us to customize your Integria experience so that your visit is as relevant and as valuable to you as possible.

For more information on cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Web Beacons.

We may use web beacons (small graphic images or other web programming code, also known as "1x1 GIFs" or "clear GIFs") and similar technologies on our Sites and within our communications to you. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Sites, to monitor how users navigate the Sites, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or links were actually viewed and to improve your experience on the Sites. Our web beacons may collect some contact information (for example, the email address associated with an email message that contains a web beacon).

Embedded Scripts.

An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Sites, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third -party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Sites, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers have "Do Not Track" features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform and there is no consensus as to what "Do Not Track" means in this context. Integria uses commercially reasonable efforts to detect and process "Do Not Track" signals, but may not respond to "Do Not Track" signals except as specifically required by law. To find out more about "Do Not Track", please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Information We Receive From Schools and School-Affiliated Third Parties

We may receive information about you from Schools or from third parties as directed by Schools or made available through Schools. For example, your School may provide us your name and email address so that we may contact you, such as to send you information on how to register for an account. We may also receive information from your School to confirm that you are an educator or otherwise eligible to sign-up for an account. We may also collect information when you sign-in to use our learning platforms and interact with us directly through a separate third party platform with whom your School has a relationship.

Your School is responsible for providing you notice of its own privacy policy(ies) that apply to the personal information we collect from or receive about you and your students through the learning platforms on behalf of the School. If you have questions on whether any alternative or supplemental terms apply to the collection, use, and sharing of your information, please contact your School. If you want to amend, remove, modify, or access information submitted to us by a School, please contact your School.

Invite-a-Colleague Features

You may choose to provide us names or other contact information for a colleague to enable them to create an account with the Sites. If you send a communication through the Sites, the information you provide (names, email addresses, etc.) is to facilitate the communication and is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain consent from that person. If you disclose any personal information relating to other people to us, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Social Media Features

The Sites may permit you to interact with a third party platform (such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest) and the Sites, for example "liking" or "sharing" content from the Sites, posting your social media posts to the Sites, including a hashtag associated with us in your social media post, or creating an account or registering with the Service using existing login information from a third-party platform ("Social Media Features"). Also, both we and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Sites and the third-party service. These third-party social networking companies may collect information about your visit to our Sites through the Social Media Features we have integrated into the Service. Note that through the Social Media Features, these third -party social networking companies may be able to collect certain information about your visits to the Sites regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the Social Media Features and whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account with the social networking company.

If you use Social Media Features, your interaction and personal information may be publicly disclosed on the Sites and on the third-party platform. If others give us access to their profile, page, or other content on a third party platform, we may also receive information about you if it is accessible through that content. Your use of Social Media Features is subject to the Terms of Use for the Sites.

The information we collect in connection with Social Media Features is subject to this Privacy Policy; the information the third party platform collects is subject to the third party’s privacy practices (including whether the third party shares information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices about what is visible to others on the third-party platform).

Information We Receive From Other Third Parties.

We may receive certain information about you from third parties. If you are on another website and agree to receive information from us, that site will forward your information to us so that we may contact you. We may validate or supplement that information with the information we collect with outside records from other third parties, such as public databases, publicly available social media or other web pages, joint marketing partners, and third parties who enhance the information we have about you. We use this information to respond to your requests, tailor content, offer you products or services that we believe may interest you, enhance our products and services, and for other business purposes. The information collected and stored by third parties is subject solely to the third party’s privacy practices.

If you are a California resident with whom we have a direct business or potential business relationship, this section applies to you.

In some cases we may provide an opt-out tool even where we are not sharing your personal information in exchange for valuable consideration. To opt out from the collection or sharing of information through certain types of cookies, including those that may be considered “sales” under California law, open the Cookie Preference Center and click on Targeting Cookies/Do Not Sell My Personal Information and move the toggle switch to the left.

The Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) also offers tools for California residents to send requests under the CCPA to opt out of the sale of personal information by participating companies (https://www.privacyrights.info/).

Integria also collects personal information as a service provider on behalf of and only in the ways permitted by our customers. If you are a California resident and would like to submit a request to access or delete information under the CCPA, please direct your request to your School administrator.

This Privacy Policy applies to the collection of information from students by Integria LLC (“teacher-assistant”) through access-controlled learning platforms we provide, including through any related websites, software, applications, or interactive features or online services, and that post a link to or include this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “learning platforms”). This Privacy Policy also applies to any student information we collect offline in connection with use of the learning platforms.

OVERVIEW

The learning platforms include teaching and learning resources designed for students in pre-K through college. Typically students will access the learning platforms through agreements teacher-assistant has with teachers, or representatives of schools, learning institutions, school districts, state or local boards of education or other educational organizations (collectively, “Schools”).

The learning platforms are made available to students and others authorized by the Schools, who have been provided access by the Schools, such as by adding a student’s name and email address to their class roster or by syncing class rosters through third-party services authorized by a School. Teachers or administrators may also provide other information to us about their students who participate in the learning platforms. We may also disclose information to the Schools pursuant to our agreements with the Schools. When we provide access to the learning platforms through a School agreement, we collect, process, disclose, and store student information in order to provide learning services through the learning platforms and on behalf of Schools and only in the ways permitted by the applicable School agreement. We otherwise use information as set forth in this policy.

Certain students may obtain access through Private Providers. If you are accessing the learning platforms through a Private Provider, please see below for additional information.

Students Younger than 13

Some students that access our learning platforms may be younger than the age of 13 (“Children”) and the online collection of personal information from those students may therefore be subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable law. teacher-assistant collects personal information about Children for the use and benefit of Schools, and for no other commercial purpose. When a School provides access to the learning platforms to students who are Children, the School represents that it has secured all necessary consent from the parents of those Children or is providing that consent on the parents’ behalf. We limit the use of information about Children to the educational context authorized by the contracting School. If you are the parent of a Child who uses our learning platforms through his/her/their School and have questions about our privacy practices, please contact us.

What Information Do We Collect from Students?

We may collect information from you directly, automatically when you visit the learning platforms, and sometimes from third parties, such as your teacher or School administrator. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name and email address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as aggregating or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as “hash”. We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, then we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy.

teacher-assistant may ask you to provide certain information to us directly, depending on which product(s) you are using, including:

Information collected automatically through use of the learning platforms

In addition to any personal information that you choose to submit to the learning platforms, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the learning platforms ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include the following, among other information:

All pages and activities viewed on the learning platforms
Date and time of use
Length of stay on certain courses or pages
We also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone or other device you may use to access the learning platforms. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device used to access the learning platforms, and our servers identify your device by its Device Identifier. We may be able to collect or infer your approximate location through information we collect, such as IP address.

Any Usage Information, Device Identifier, or other persistent identifier we collect is used for the sole purposes of providing our learning platforms to students and their Schools and to support the learning platforms’ internal operations.

The technologies that may be used to collect Usage Information include the following:

Cookies. When you use our learning platforms, teacher-assistant may store data in “cookies” or similar technology on your devices, which are data files placed on your computer or other device when you visit the learning platforms or otherwise access our online content. teacher-assistant may use cookies for many purposes, including, without limitation, to remember you and your preferences, to collect information about how you use our learning platforms, personalize content within the learning platforms, and track the pages you’ve visited. We use both session and persistent cookies (which remain on your computer after the browser has been closed).

Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the learning platforms, to monitor how users navigate the learning platforms, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or links were actually viewed and to improve your experience on the learning platforms.

Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the learning platforms, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the learning platforms, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

Information We Receive from Schools

We may receive information about you from your School(s). For example, the School may provide us your name and email address to set up an account on your behalf and/or so that we may contact you, such as to send you an invitation to create a password and log-in. The School may also provide us with your parent or legal guardian’s email address and phone number, such as to communicate with them about the learning platforms, including to send course reminders and ask for feedback about our products and services.

How Does teacher-assistant Share Information Collected about Students?

To And On Behalf Of Schools

As discussed above, we provide the learning platforms to students through agreements with Schools and on behalf of those Schools. Accordingly, Schools (and those who obtain authorized access from the Schools) and have access to all of the information we collect via registration and the learning platforms from students associated with that School.

In some cases, a School (including teachers or administrators) may enter into additional reporting or research agreements for the provision of reports or analyses that require data to be associated with demographic categories (gender, ethnicity, free or reduced lunch status, etc.) or other individual student information, such as test scores. In such cases, the teachers, Schools and/or school district administrators provide teacher-assistant and specified service providers with the information required, which may personally identify students. When such agreements are in place, reports containing student information are provided only to the teachers, Schools and school district administrators authorized to receive that information. In such cases, data is held securely and only teacher-assistant employees and service providers directly involved in producing these reports have access to students’ personal information.

Service Providers

In order to provide and support our products, teacher-assistant may contract with third parties and share information required to carry out these services with these third parties. These service providers provide support services, such as hosting the learning platforms and operating their features, or performing other administrative services. In such cases, all third parties are required to abide by this policy. teacher-assistant takes reasonable steps to release personal information collected from students only to service providers and third parties who are capable of and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality and security of that information and to use that personal information only to provide the applicable service to us or on our behalf.

Administrative and Legal Reasons

We may disclose personal information about students to third parties when necessary to protect the security or integrity of the learning platforms; take precautions against liability; respond to judicial process; or provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety. We may also disclose personal information about students in connection with a merger or the sale of teacher-assistant’s assets or interest in the learning platforms, or other similar change in ownership (including, during the course of any due diligence process), provided that any subsequent owner of student’s personal information has agreed to abide by teacher-assistant’s then-current student privacy policy.

Research and Statistical Purposes

teacher-assistant uses de-identified and aggregate data about students’ use of our learning platforms for product development, research or other purposes. To de-identify data, we remove all direct and indirect personal identifiers. These identifiers include, but are not limited to, name, ID number, birth date, teacher name, class and school identifications. teacher-assistant agrees not to attempt to re-identify any de-identified data, and to restrict any third parties to whom it discloses such data from attempting to re-identify any de-identified data. We may store de-identified data indefinitely. Schools, school districts, and individuals may ask for their data to be excluded from any de-identified data sets. To request such exclusion, please email hello@teacher-assistant.com.

In addition, for research and other purposes, teacher-assistant may transfer de-identified data to third parties. For example, we may share information such as problems attempted, answers or hint requests for each step of the problem, and associated time stamps. We review all requests for such de-identified data sets, and we require all recipients of de-identified data sets to agree to the teacher-assistant Terms of Use, which prohibit, among other things, any attempts to re-identify the de-identified data and any commercial use of the data.

In connection with research studies, teacher-assistant and/or its partners may publish or discuss aggregate data about student performance and results. Such publications never reference individual information, only aggregate statistics. Research projects that make use of student data may be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) which is responsible for approving the goals and procedures of the study, including those related to maintaining privacy of information. The IRB may or may not require parental or student notification or approval. Schools or school districts provide prior consent to any research that involves interaction with the schools and their students’ information. teacher-assistant is committed to abiding by IRB recommendations and requirements.

As part of our commitment to continual improvement, teacher-assistant may field test new application content and test versions of features within our products, including through studies which employ random assignment. We may also partner with third-party researchers to conduct such research. If the research is not exempt from IRB review, an Institutional Review Board (IRB) will review the goals and procedures of the study, including those related to maintaining privacy of information.

Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions

We may offer sweepstakes, contests or other promotions (any, a "Promotion"), that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to the provisions, conditions, or official rules that govern that Promotion, which may provide for the sharing of information collected in connection with the Promotion beyond those instances described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Analytics Services

We may work with analytics providers to provide us with information regarding the use of our learning platforms. These third parties may set and access their own tracking technologies on your devices (including cookies and web beacons), and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. With respect to Children, to the extent there is any collection of information through tracking technologies, it is used only for providing support for internal operations as needed to provide the learning platforms.

Data Retention & Access

You may be able to review, modify, and delete certain information related to your use of our learning platforms through your account. Schools may ask to review the information that teacher-assistant has collected and retained about a particular student, or request its deletion, by contacting us at hello@teacher-assistant.com . If you are a parent or student and would like to access or request deletion of any information collected by teacher-assistant as a result your or your student’s use of our learning platforms, please contact your School.

teacher-assistant will retain personal information about students as long as required by our agreement with a School or as required by law. teacher-assistant may otherwise retain personal information as required by applicable law or its contractual obligations to a School. teacher-assistant may also delete personal information or other data when requested by a School or as provided under a School agreement. The School may request a copy of the data or that we retain the data on their behalf by emailing their request to hello@teacher-assistant.com within 60 days of such notification.

Unless otherwise prohibited by an agreement with a School, teacher-assistant may retain aggregated, de-identified, or other non-personal data, including curriculum or other content submitted by users when using the learning platforms as long as needed for our business purposes.

Security

We have implemented an information security program with numerous measures, including administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard personal information under our control against loss, misuse and unauthorized alteration. However, please remember that no data storage or data transmission over the Internet, or by other means, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your personal data, teacher-assistant cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Therefore, each School and any student user accessing the learning platforms under the School’s authorization understands, acknowledges, and agrees that you transmit personal information to the learning platforms at your own risk.

Accessing the learning platforms through Private Provider

The learning platforms may be made available through agreements we have with organizations who provide specialized education services to students, but who are not directly associated with a School (“Private Provider”). In those cases, we or the Private Provider (rather than the School) will obtain any necessary consent from a student’s parent or legal guardian as required by law.

When students access the learning platforms through a Private Provider, teacher-assistant acts as a service provider on behalf of and in the ways permitted by the agreement with the Private Provider. Accordingly, Private Providers may have access to all of the information we collect from students that is associated with the students’ accounts with the Private Provider. If a Private Provider is working in connection with a student’s School, they may share or ask us to share student information about students associated with that School.

If you are the parent of a Child who uses our learning platforms through a Private Provider and have questions about our privacy practices, or would like to request to access or delete your Child’s information, please contact us as indicated in the section above. If you would like more information about how the Private Provider handles your personal information, please contact the Private Provider.
