PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for www.SchoolSearch.in, a Web site owned and operated by SchoolSearch Inc. If you have questions or concerns about this privacy policy, you should contact our management team by emailing admin@SchoolSearch.in .
Information Collection and Use
SchoolSearch Inc. collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site. SchoolSearch Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways other than as disclosed in this statement.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that SchoolSearch Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage our users to be aware of when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletters
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter or other email services, we may ask for contact information such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as child's class or city code) but encouraged so that we can provide more personalized service. This information is not shared with or sold to anyone for any purpose, except in accordance with this privacy policy.
From time to time, SchoolSearch may email our newsletter subscribers a request to complete user surveys and/or events that we believe are of interest. This may include promotions from a related third-party sponsor. SchoolSearch will never share your information directly with a third party, except in accordance with this privacy policy.
Choice/Opt Out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletters or other communications can unsubscribe using the tools provided in every email message we send.
User Surveys
From time to time, we request information from users and newsletter subscribers via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as city, grade level). Contact information may be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
SchoolSearch Inc. has implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, SchoolSearch Inc. uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect their information both online and offline. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. Thus, you acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, you can send an email to admin@SchoolSearch.in
Compromise of Security
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, SchoolSearch Inc. will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Statement, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
Notification of Changes
As we continue to develop our Web site, this privacy policy likely will change. We will post all changes to this policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this new manner.
Login Security
When you choose a password, either as a principal for your Enhanced School Profile or as a parent to join a SchoolSearch community, the password is stored on the password-protected SchoolSearch Inc. server. However, because Internet communications are generally not secure, you should be aware that when you send your password across the Internet to us, there is a possibility that an experienced hacker could intercept your password. However, we have no evidence to date that password information presents a serious security threat to warrant using a secure shell for this transaction.
A Notice About Our Advertisers
SchoolSearch allows advertising by third parties. SchoolSearch does not control linking practices of advertisers or sponsors and does not monitor or claim responsibility for any content or privacy practices of such Web sites. Once you have clicked on an advertisement and have left the SchoolSearch site, you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser or sponsor to see how your personal information will be handled.
SchoolSearch may offer contests, sweepstakes, and promotions that are sponsored by third-party advertisers or sponsors. These third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the activity. SchoolSearch does not control the third parties' use of information.
A Notice About External Links
You will find links from SchoolSearch to independently owned, controlled, and/or managed Web sites whose content we believe will be of possible interest and value to our visitors. Additionally you'll see links from advertisers, sponsors and other partners that may use SchoolSearch' logo as part of a co-branding agreement.
In many cases, these links represent cooperative projects or mutual links established with the organizations connected with these sites. We don't control the content of these links. These other sites may send you their own cookies, collect data, or solicit personal information. While we identify sponsor and advertiser areas of our Web sites, we do not control these cookies or the content of these third parties.
SchoolSearch has partnered with other companies to provide certain services. In some cases, you may see SchoolSearch' logo on another company's site. SchoolSearch does not share any of your personally identifiable information with these partners and they do not share any information with us.
Once you leave our servers (you can generally tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), the use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from that site's home page, you should contact the site directly for more information.
We specifically recommend that parents or teachers monitor any new sites before children connect to them.
Public Forums
SchoolSearch makes it possible for our users to share information through options such as school reviews, article feedback and message boards. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. Consequently, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Notification Procedures
It is the policy of SchoolSearch to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to our customers or Web site users, via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our Web site page, www.SchoolSearch.in, as determined by SchoolSearch in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SchoolSearch reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our customers or Web site users.
