| TrueOutcomes Privacy Statement |
| |
| TrueOutcomes and its subsidiaries and
divisions, are committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal
information entrusted to us on our websites. This privacy statement explains our online privacy practices. |
| |
| Scope |
| |
| This privacy statement applies to the TrueOutcomes (TO) website (www.trueoutcomes.com) and all TO company and
brand websites that link to it. Some TO
websites may have different privacy statements, so please read the privacy
notice posted on each such website. For
example, TO has created a number of websites for the schools we serve, and
those websites are subject to the school’s own privacy policy. |
| |
| Additionally, some TO websites may provide
direct links to various sponsor and marketing partner sites. This privacy statement does not describe the
practices of our partners. Before
disclosing personal information to any other company’s web site, you should
read the privacy statement associated with that site. |
| |
| Information that We Collect |
| |
| When
you visit our website, you may provide us with two types of information: (1)
personally identifiable information such as contact and other information about
your profession or your interests that you knowingly choose to disclose, which
is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does
not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate
basis as you browse the website. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us
with requested information, you may not be able to access all of our website's
content or services. |
| |
| How We Use Personal Information |
| |
In
general, we use all of the information we collect in order to:
respond to your requests for information, provide you with products and services, determine if you are eligible to receive certain products or services, provide customer service, and provide you with additional information that may be of interest, including marketing and educational materials from us and our partners.
We will tailor the materials we provide you based on the information in your
profile, such your professional interests. Also, certain products (such as teachers’ guides) are only available to qualified educational professionals, so you may not receive access to all of the services we offer if we cannot confirm your qualification. |
| |
| If
you purchase a product from us (such as a book or newsletter subscription), you
may provide us with a credit card number or other payment information. Payment information will only be used for
transaction processing. |
| |
| When We Disclose
Personal Information
|
| |
| We may also provide any contact information and professional information with our
affiliates or, unless you tell us not to, with third parties. For example, like most publishers, we share our subscriber lists with selected business partners so that they may offer you products and services directly. Additionally, we may share any information with third parties as needed to fulfill your requests for information, products or services. |
| |
| If you
do not want us to share your information with third parties for their own
marketing, you can opt-out by deselecting the options to keep you informed
about TO products and services, or by contacting our customer services
department by email at support@trueoutcomes.com or phone at 1 (800) 354-9706 (M-F, 8:00am-6:00pm ET) and requesting the desired
change (e.g., opting in or out of faxes) |
| You
can also opt-out of receiving marketing emails from us and our partners at any
time my following the opt-out instructions provided on every email. |
| |
| Please
note that we may disclose any information as permitted or required by law, when
necessary for health or safety purposes, or to protect our legal rights. For example, we may disclose information
about you to our auditors or legal advisors or in response to a subpoena. We may also disclose information about you in
connection with the transfer of assets of our businesses. |
| |
| A Special Note About Children |
| |
| Although parts of the
galeschools.com Web site provide information and activities for students, we do
not knowingly collect any personal information about children. Teachers must
provide their own personal information in order for students to participate in
our online quizzes and contests. |
| |
| We encourage parents and
teachers to spend time online with children and to monitor their online
activities. Please protect your child's privacy by instructing them to
never provide personal information on this site or any other, or within
any software registration process, without your permission. |
| |
| Information Collected on
Behalf of Educational Institutions |
| |
| Some
TO companies administer websites that provide course materials and services for
educational institutions. Information
collected on these websites is only used by TO as needed to support the
educational institution and provide the services requested by the course
instructors. We do not use this information for our own
purposes. Most student course records
are also protected by the Family and Educational Rights Privacy Act
(FERPA). For information on your
school’s privacy statement and FERPA, please contact that school’s
administration. |
