LEARNINGSOFT LLC PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT
Date revised and posted: 8/27/01
LearningSoft's
Customer Privacy Policy has been developed as an extension of our
commitment to combine the finest quality products and services with
the highest level of integrity in dealing with our customers. The
Policy guides how we collect, store and use information about customers
and prospects, and it will be periodically assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers' changing needs.
LearningSoft may,
from time to time, modify this Customer Privacy Policy to reflect
legal, technological and other developments. In that event the changes
will appear at this location.
LearningSoft is
committed to using all reasonable efforts to abide by the following
Policy statement:
Collection. Personally-Identifiable Information will
only be collected to the extent that LearningSoft deems reasonably
necessary to serve a legitimate business purpose. Personally-Identifiable
Information includes, for example, e-mail addresses, billing information,
employment status and "click stream" data that tracks user activity
on a Web site or online service.
Please be aware
that if you disclose Personally-Identifiable Information on Website
message boards or chat areas, that information may be collected
and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited communications from third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of LearningSoft.
Notification. Customers and prospects will be notified
(usually at the point where Personally-Identifiable Information
is collected) as to the uses LearningSoft may make of the Personally-Identifiable
Information collected from them.
Choice.
Opt Out for External Distribution of Personally-Identifiable Information.
Customers and Prospects will be given the opportunity to refuse
permission for External Distribution of their name, address or other
Personally-Identifiable Information through an Opt Out mechanism.
(External Distribution does not include certain limited distributions
such as sharing Personally-Identifiable Information with an entity
working on behalf of LearningSoft to serve our customers; transfer
of Personally-Identifiable Information in conjunction with the sale
or similar transfer of a business unit; or the disclosure of Personally-Identifiable
Information in connection with legal proceedings, investigations
of crimes or other wrongdoing. However, sharing Personally-Identifiable
Information with an entity working on behalf of LearningSoft or
transferring Personally-Identifiable Information in conjunction
with the sale or similar transfer of a business unit is considered
an Onward Transfer and will be handled as described below.)
Security.
Appropriate safeguards will be implemented to ensure the security,
integrity and privacy of Personally-Identifiable Information about
our customers and prospects.
Access, Review
and Correction. Procedures have been developed through which
customers and prospects can, upon request, review and correct the
Personally-Identifiable Information that has been collected from
them by LearningSoft. These procedures may not, however, compromise
the security, integrity and privacy of either LearningSoft's own
proprietary databases or databases licensed from third party companies.
Onward Transfer. Whenever LearningSoft permits a third party
outside of LearningSoft to access Personally-Identifiable Information
through either External Distribution or Onward Transfer, commercially
appropriate procedures will be followed to help ensure that the
Information is used only for authorized purposes and by authorized
persons in a manner consistent with the choices customers and prospects
have made under this Policy, and that the security, integrity and
privacy of the information is maintained. Please note that our Website
may contain links to other Websites that have their own privacy
policies and practices. While LearningSoft will employ commercially
appropriate procedures to help ensure that your information is only
used for authorized purposes as described above, LearningSoft cannot
make any guarantees with respect to the actions or policies of such
third parties.
Children.
Collection and use of information from children under the age of
thirteen will be made in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy
Act of 1998. Specifically, LearningSoft will:
- Provide parents or guardians with notice of our information
practices;
- Obtain prior verifiable parental or guardian consent for the
collection, use, and/or disclosure of Personally-Identifiable
Information from children;
- Provide a parent or guardian, upon request, with the means to
review the Personally-Identifiable Information collected from
his or her child;
- Provide a parent or guardian with the opportunity to prevent
the further use of Personally-Identifiable Information that has
already been collected, or the future collection of Personally-Identifiable
Information, from that child;
- Limit collection of Personally-Identifiable Information for
a child's online participation in a game, prize offer or other
activities to Personally-Identifiable Information that is reasonably
necessary to participate in the activity; and
- Establish procedures to protect the confidentiality, security
and integrity of the Personally-Identifiable Information collected
from children.
Questions and Comments. LearningSoft Customer Privacy Policy
has been developed out of respect for the privacy preferences and
choices of our customers and prospects. We have established procedures
to ensure that every reasonable effort is made to address your concerns.
LearningSoft has designated a Privacy Official to implement our
Customer Privacy Policy for its respective customers and prospects.
