We collect information that personally identifies you, such as your name, username, e-mail, and other personally identifiable information, as well as information about your school district, when you sign up for the Site or Services (“Personal Information”).

Any use of cookies and Web beacons is to improve the experience of the Site and Services, such as pre-populating your username for easier login. Most Web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your Web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of the Site or Services may not work if you delete or disable cookies.

We use Personal Information for internal purposes only, such as to provide you with the Site and Services, to improve the Site and Services, to notify you of new products or services, and to otherwise communicate with you about E.L. Achieve. We will not disclose Personal Information to third parties, including for their direct marketing purposes, without your consent, except as explained in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose to third parties certain Usage Data regarding the Site and Services. However, in such cases, your Usage Data will be aggregated with the Usage Data of others and will not identify you individually.
4. Third Party Services
Through the Site or Services, you may elect to access third-party services, such as PayPal when placing an order.

If you elect to use such third-party services through E.L. Achieve, the information you share with such third-party services will be subject to their privacy policies.
5. Services Providers
From time to time, we may establish a business relationship with other businesses whom we believe trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are consistent with ours (“Service Providers”). For example, we may contract with Service Providers to provide certain services, such as hosting and maintenance, data storage and management, and marketing and promotions. We only provide our Service Providers with the information necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf. Each Service Provider must agree to use reasonable security procedures and practices, appropriate to the nature of the information involved, in order to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Service Providers are prohibited from using Personal Information other than as specified by E.L. Achieve.

You will have the opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if, in our discretion, the new entity plans to handle your information in a way that differs materially from this Privacy Policy.
8. Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
E.L. Achieve cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose Personal Information and any other information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties if, in our discretion, we believe it is necessary or appropriate in order to respond to legal requests (including court orders and subpoenas), to protect the safety, property or rights of E.L.

9. Be Careful When You Share Information with Others
Please be aware that whenever you share information on your profile page or via comments, discussion broads, or any other public forum on the Site or Services, that information may be accessed by others. In addition, please remember that when you share information in any other communications with third parties that information may be passed along or made public by others.
