Masthead Waves

We will only use personal information to the extent it is reasonably necessary
to deliver, manage, support, improve or personalize the Services or the Site. In
some jurisdictions, individuals may have the right to withdraw consent from
certain uses. If you reside in such jurisdictions, you may have additional
rights which are detailed in sections 8 through 10. In all cases, any service
providers will be contractually limited in the way they may use personal
information maintained by us, including requirements that such information be
maintained in a confidential and secure manner.

In Connection with Business Transfers: In the event that a division, a product
or all of Zoobean is bought, sold or otherwise transferred, or is in the process
of a potential transaction, personal information will likely be shared for
evaluation purposes and included among the transferred business assets, subject
to client contractual requirements and applicable law. An acquiring company
would be required to protect all personal information, which Zoobean collected
from users of the Site or Services, in accordance with the terms of this Privacy
Policy.

such disclosure appears necessary to comply with applicable law, a subpoena in
the course of managing a dispute, governmental inquiry or other litigation
process. We may also disclose information to our accountants, auditors, agents,
lawyers and other advisors in connection with the enforcement or protection of
our legal rights or to protect the interests or safety of our users or others,
in accordance with or as authorized by law.

3. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND HOW DO WE USE THEM AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website, online application, or
email may save to your browser or your computer's hard drive for use in
subsequent visits to the website or online application. The “help” portion of
the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from
accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new
cookies or how to disable cookies altogether. We do not control and do not
guarantee the effectiveness of browser-based tools for managing cookies.

With respect to the public-facing Site, we may use information collected through
online technology to engage in interest-based, behavioral or interest-based
advertising. We do not engage in these activities on student-facing pages. If
you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices
concerning interest-based ads, visit: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or
https://youradchoices.com/control.

If you reside in California or certain other US states, you also have the right
to opt-out of sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral
advertising and/or targeted advertising, described below in the section “Your
Privacy Rights.”

We may use Google Analytics to evaluate use of the Site for our internal
purposes such as evaluating usages of the Site. To learn how Google Analytics
collects and processes data, please visit: “How Google uses data when you use
our partners' sites or apps” located at
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Any and all personal information collected on the Site will be kept strictly
confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, disclosed, or loaned to third
parties, except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

4. HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Where applicable, we use industry-standard technology in connection with the
Services and the Site to help protect personal information from loss, misuse and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

5. HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information that we collect, access or process will be retained only as
long as reasonably necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which it was
collected, unless otherwise provided for under services contracts with clients
or as required or authorized by law. Personal information that is no longer
required to fulfil the identified purposes will be destroyed, erased or
de-identified.

6. WHAT ARE YOUR CHOICES CONCERNING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Our clients (e.g., schools and libraries) are responsible for notification of
purpose and for obtaining appropriate consent, to the extent required by law,
when they collect personal information that is transferred to us.

If we are instructed by our clients to transmit communications on their behalf,
clients remain responsible for ensuring that recipients have consented to
receiving such communications and that the information contained in the
communications are accurate and complete.

We do not sell, rent, or share the personal information of our users with third
parties for such third parties' own marketing purposes.

We may, subject to applicable laws, use personal information from our users to
contact them about the Site and Services, including to provide them with
information on additional products from us that may be of interest to them. Our
users may exercise choices regarding these communications as follows:

 * Mail marketing, Telephone marketing, Surveys and Quality control
   communications (as applicable). You may decide that you prefer that we not
   use your personal information to promote new and/or additional products
   and/or services which may be of interest to you and refuse that we contact
   you by mail or telephone for marketing purposes or by email or telephone for
   quality control purposes. If this is the case, you may advise us by
   contacting customer service or contacting us using the information detailed
   in the Contacting us section below. For clarity, we will not use any
   students' personal information that we receive from or in connection with a
   school (collectively, “Student Personal Data”) for marketing-related
   communications. For more information about Student Personal Data, see section
   8 below.
 * Emails/Commercial Electronic Communications. You can always limit the
   communications that we send to you. To opt-out of commercial emails, simply
   click the link labeled “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” at the bottom of any
   commercial electronic communication we send you. For clarity, students are
   automatically opted out of commercial electronic communications that do not
   specifically relate to the provision or support of the Services in which such
   students participate. Please note that even if you opt-out of promotional
   communications, we may still need to contact you with important information
   about your account.

7. HOW IS THIS PRIVACY POLICY ENFORCED?

We have put in place mechanisms to monitor and verify our ongoing adherence to
this Privacy Policy. We encourage individuals covered by this Privacy Policy to
raise any concerns that they have about the way that we process their personal
information by contacting us as described below. We take your questions and
concerns seriously, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve
them.

8. WHAT IS OUR POLICY ON KIDS' AND STUDENTS' PRIVACY?

Students using Beanstack through a single-sign on connection are not able to
enter personally identifiable information. If we learn that a child under the
age of 13 has submitted personal information online without parental consent, we
will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases
and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to
protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law). If you
become aware of any personal information we have collected from children under
age 13 without parental consent, please contact us using the information
detailed in the Contacting us section below.

We take our role as stewards of Student Personal Data very seriously. We collect
and use Student Personal Data only as necessary to provide the applicable
school-related Services. WE DO NOT (a) sell or monetize Student Personal Data;
(b) display advertising to students on the school-related Services; or (c)
authorize behavioral tracking by third parties on the school-related Services
for the purpose of targeted advertising or to show ads on such Services.

9. ACCESS, OBJECTION, DELETION AND CORRECTION

We support, and we will reasonably cooperate with users (and, as applicable,
their parents, schools, libraries or other institutions) regarding, users'
access to and correction of their personal information. You can review and
modify your registration information at any time through your account. You can
also request that we remove or correct your personal information. To make such a
request, or if you have questions about your rights, please feel free to contact
us using the contact information detailed in the Contacting us section below.

In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right to obtain confirmation as to
whether your personal information is being processed, information about the
purposes of that processing, and information about the recipients to whom your
personal data have been or will be disclosed.

10. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a resident of California or certain other states, California law
provides you with the following rights with respect to your personal
information:

 * The right to know what personal information we have collected, used,
   disclosed and sold about you.
 * The right to correct inaccurate information that we have collected about you.
 * The right to request that we delete any personal information we have
   collected about you.
 * The right to opt-out of cross-contextual or behavioral advertising.
 * The right to appeal any decision we make about your privacy rights.

To submit a privacy rights request described here, you may contact us using the
contact information detailed in the Contacting us section below (with “PRIVACY
REQUEST” in the subject line). You also may designate an authorized agent to
make a request for access on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you
for the exercise of these privacy rights.

When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we may verify your
identity. We also may use a third party verification provider to verify your
identity. Your exercise of these rights will have no adverse effect on the price
and quality of our goods or services.

For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, we have not
sold any personal information about our users; nor do we have any plans to do so
in the future.

11. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES

In some cases, personal information that we process, including information from
our users located in various countries, including in Canada, the EU and
Switzerland or relative to queries or visitors to the Site may be transferred to
the United States or other countries that may not have data privacy laws that
provide the same protection as the countries where you reside. You understand
that your personal information may therefore be transferred, processed and
stored outside of your country of residence, and therefore may be available to
government authorities under lawful orders and laws applicable in such foreign
jurisdictions. Data for students in the United States will not be transferred to
other countries.

12. RIGHT TO LODGE COMPLAINTS

We are transparent about the ways in which we collect and use personal
information, and welcome your questions and concerns. If you have any concern or
complaint about the way we handle your personal information, please contact us
as described below. To the extent you believe we have not addressed your
concerns or otherwise choose to do so, you have the right to lodge a complaint
with a supervisory authority in the country where you reside and/or in the
United States. For information on how you can file a privacy complaint with the
Federal Trade Commission, please visit: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

13. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We will review and update this Privacy Policy as required to keep current with
rules and regulations, new technologies and security standards. If we decide to
change this Privacy Policy, we will update this page (and the effective date
below). If the change is material, we will prominently display information about
the change on www.beanstack.com, we will notify then-registered users of the
change, and you will be required to consent to the updated terms of this Privacy
Policy in order to continue use of the Site or Services. Changes to this Privacy
Policy will apply only to information collected after the date of the change.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of March 6, 2024.
