V. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
• Except as provided for herein, we will not sell or share Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes or advertisements unless you give us your consent to do so.
• We may share your Personal Information with certain trusted third-party companies and individuals to perform tasks on our behalf, but strictly for the purpose of carrying out their work for us, for example, to help us provide the website, to enhance the website, to increase the website’s functionality and user friendliness, to provide customer support, to improve your experience on the website, to respond to your inquiries or questions, or to provide you with information regarding our products or services. Unless we tell you differently, these trusted third-party companies do not have any right to use your Personal Information beyond what is necessary to assist us with providing you the best possible service.

VI. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION.
The Services may be used by children under 17 (or other age as required by local law) through an Agreement with an educational institution (“Client”). Information in a student’s education record is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. FERPA protects access to and sharing of a student’s education record, which is all information directly related to a student’s education. FERPA’s “school official” exception allows schools to share information with parent volunteers, technology companies, and other vendors but only when these parties use the information for educational purposes directed by the school.
Company qualifies as a “school official” as defined under FERPA with a legitimate interest in the Student Data, and therefore Company is permitted under FERPA to Process Student Data pertaining to Client’s students without Client first obtaining written consent from the parent or guardian of each student. This means that (a) the Services provided by Company to Client, pursuant to this Policy, are institutional services or functions for which Client would otherwise use employees; (b) Company is under the direct control of Client with respect to the use and maintenance of education records; and (c) Company is subject to the requirements of 34 C.F.R. § 99.33 (a), which governs the use and redisclosure of Student Data from education records.
If you learn that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, you may contact us as set forth below. If we learn that we have collected any personal information in violation of applicable law, we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the child’s account.
VII. TRANSFER OF DATA.
If this Agreement is terminated or expires for any reason, Company will allow Client access to the Solution(s) for not more than ninety (90) days following such termination or expiration for the sole purpose of transferring Client’s data (including Student Data) from the Solution(s) to Client, provided that Client makes a written request to Company for such transfer within thirty (30) days following termination or expiration of this Agreement.
VIII. DELETION OF DATA.
Company shall delete Client’s confidential data, including Student Data, in a secure manner that prevents its physical reconstruction within ninety (90) days following termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that Client has not requested the transfer of such data in accordance with Section V.
IX. OTHER PROVISIONS.
• CALIFORNIA SHINE THE LIGHT LAW.
The California “Shine the Light” law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the Third Parties to whom we have disclosed their Personal Information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of Personal Information disclosed to those parties.
• SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal information violates applicable law.
• CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you as required by applicable law. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you continue to use the Services after the new Privacy Policy takes effect.
