Safeguarding Your Information
To protect your information, we make every effort to ensure that any third party vendors we enlist for services such as credit card processing uses the latest Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for secure transactions. In addition, we seek to use vendors who are certified as compliant with card association security initiatives, such as the Visa Cardholder Information Security and Compliance (CISP), MasterCard® (SDP), and Discovery Information Security and Compliance (DISC).
Education Innovations accounts require a username and password to log in. When you're finished using Education Innovations, please click the "log out" link in the top right corner of your screen, to prevent someone from using your computer to access your account. You must keep your username and password secure and not disclose it to a third party.
Due to the sensitive nature of your curricula and student, instructor, and administrative data, we do not re-send forgotten passwords. Users must follow online instructions to reset their passwords if they forget them.
Account passwords are encrypted. We cannot see your passwords. We can only reset them.
Notice of Breach of Security
Nobody can be 100% safe from hackers these days. Education Innovations will notify you, as soon as possible, if a breach in security results in an unauthorized intrusion into our system which materially affects you or people within your organization, and will subsequently report the corrective action taken in response to the intrusion.
Content of Curricula and Email Precautions
When you create, assign, and evaluate curricula and your students’ responses online, your data is transmitted from server to server as it crosses the Internet. Along the way, server administrators can read what you send. Email was never built for confidential information. Never send anything in an email that you wouldn't put on a postcard. If you have something confidential to send, do not use Education Innovations.
We sometimes review the content of the curricula and internal organizational communications of our Users to verify compliance with our Terms of Use. In this regard, we have software with algorithms to help us find curricula and/or usage of our services that may be in violation of our Terms of Use. We then have employees or independent contractors review that particular data. This practice benefits all Users who are in compliance with our Terms of Use because, among other things, it reduces the possibility of misappropriation or misattribution of curricula, avoidance of proper royalty payments to curricula creators, and attempts to circumvent or compromise security features that have been put in place to enhance the accuracy and integrity of student and instructor actions.
Notification of Changes
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted to this Website and emailed to the last email address you have given to us, and will become effective as of the later of the date we post on the Website or, send the email. You may object to any changes within 10 days after they are posted on our Website or delivered to you, in which case none of the proposed changes will be effective with respect to information that we have already collected from you, but will apply only to information we collect or access from you in the future. There are purposes, other than marketing, for which we are not willing or able to treat information of any open account differently from that of any other open account. Therefore, if you object to changes in our Privacy Policy which relate to those purposes, we will have to terminate your account. In contrast, in the event we ever changed our Privacy Policy to allow us to have an expanded right to use or disclose Personal Information for marketing purposes, you would be able to opt out without any such termination.
Accuracy of Data and Rights
We do our best to keep your data accurate and up-to-date to the extent that you provide us with the information we require to do that. If your data changes (including, but not limited to, a change in your email address) then you are responsible for notifying us of those changes so that we can keep your records up-to-date.
