A Customer, pursuant to an Agreement, may initially transfer Personal Information during
the initial setup and configuration of that Service. Some of our products allow our Customers
to input certain optional demographic data or other identifying data (student date of birth,
student email address, etc.), if such information is useful for the district’s educational
purposes. The information in these fields does not need to be obtained in order to use our
products, but if a Customer supplies any of this data, it will be treated in accordance with
this Privacy Policy. Data handling practices may vary across our products, and the following
is information about elements of Student and Educator Data commonly collected from

visit a site and some features and services may not work.

We collect log data in order to ensure the availability and security of the Service, to
detect unauthorized access and fraudulent activity within the Service, to prevent and
respond to Service-related security incidents, and ensure appropriate scaling of the
Service’s computing resources.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a proposed mechanism for allowing website visitors to control
the collection of certain Usage Data. There is currently no adopted standard to support
the use of DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we are closely
monitoring DNT proposals.
6. Third-Party Collection
Although we may use third-party vendors, subcontractors, and service providers to
assist us in providing the Service, we do not permit third-party ad networks or similar
services to collect the Personal Information of our authenticated Users.

How We Use Personal Information
We Use Personal Information for legitimate education purposes or to the extent
necessary to exercise our legal rights.
1. Educational Uses
We use Personal Information to provide you with the Services. We may use your
Personal Information for any purpose required or permitted under the Agreement or with
your consent.
2. Legal Uses
We may use your Personal Information to protect or exercise our legal rights, defend
against claims, investigate fraud or other criminal conduct, enforce our terms and
conditions, respond to a government request, protect the security, integrity and
availability of the Service, or to protect the property and safety of the Company, our
Users, and others. We may also use Personal Information in connection with or during
negotiation of any reorganization, acquisition, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment,
transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock
(including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
3. De-Identified and Aggregate Data
When data is no longer necessary to deliver Services, it shall be either deleted or de-
identified and aggregated. We may use Usage Data and other de-identified or aggregate
data to improve our products, develop new products, and for other related purposes. Our
de-identification processes comply with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (“NIST”), the U.S. Department of Education’s Privacy and Technical
Assistance Center, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Unless required
to do so by law, we will not attempt to re-identify de-identified data and, where feasible
and appropriate, will not transfer de-identified data to a third party unless they also agree
not to attempt re-identification.
-
How We Share Personal Information
We share Personal Information with third parties for the sole purpose of providing
Services under the Agreement and to exercise our legal rights.
1. Subcontractors
We may hire third parties, such as subcontractors or vendors, to implement the Service.
These third parties who have access to Personal Information are subject to stringent
privacy and security contractual requirements that are as stringent as those set forth in
this Privacy Policy, including deletion, de-identification, and prohibitions on collection
and use of Personal Information.
2. Legal Disclosures and Change of Control
We may disclose your Personal Information when it is required or permitted by law, such
as to comply with a subpoena, court order or similar legal process, to protect or exercise
our legal rights, to defend against claims, to investigate fraud and other criminal conduct,
to enforce our Terms of Service, to respond to a government request, to protect the
security, integrity and availability of the Service, or to otherwise protect the property and
safety of the Company, our Users, and others. If we are involved in a merger,
acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, we may need to share your Personal
Information with the acquiring entity. We will condition any merger, acquisition, or sale
on continued adherence to the terms of this Policy and maintaining a materially similar
level of protection for your Personal Information. If such an event occurs, we will provide
you information about the coming change, how it may impact you and any choices you
may have.
3. Data Ownership and Access Requests
Customers who are local education agencies have primary responsibility for fulfilling
student and parent access, amendment, and export requests. In most cases, Customers
can fulfill these requests using the built-in functionality of the Service. Where this
functionality is not available or the Customer cannot otherwise fulfill the request on their
own, we will provide reasonable assistance with the production or export of Student Data
if the assistance is in accordance with our Agreement and applicable law. In some
cases, we may not be able to fully satisfy these requests. Examples include requests for
confidential company information in addition to Student Data, requests for Student Data
in a specific or proprietary format that we are unable to support, or requests that are
prohibited by law.
-
Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal
Information from being accidentally lost or accessed in an unauthorized manner,
including being altered or disclosed. These measures include requiring our service
providers to comply with appropriate security measures as necessary for us to meet our
security obligations to you.
1. Breach Notification
In the event of a security incident affecting our systems that involves your Personal
Information, we will notify you as required by applicable law and the terms of our
Agreement. We will always attempt to notify you of any security incident affecting your
Personal Information that we believe poses a material risk of harm to you, your staff or
your students.
We have put in place procedures to handle security incidents, including a process for
making notifications to you or a data breach as required by law.
2. Data Use, Retention, and Deletion
We do not collect, maintain, use or share Personal Information beyond what is required
to perform Services under the Agreement or beyond what is required for the educational
purposes for which it was collected. We will retain your Personal Information only for as
long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, and to
comply with our legal obligations. Data deletion and retention functionality vary based on
the product or Service.
3. All Servers Located in the United States
Any Personal Information collected will be processed and stored on servers based in the
United States.
4. Federation and Identity Management Support
We encourage the use of secure federated identity management technologies such as
SAML in conjunction with our Services. These technologies make access to our Service
safer and more secure for your district and Users.
-
Customer Responsibility
By using the Services, you agree to adhere to prevailing data security practices,
including: (i) securely configuring your accounts using federated identity management or
strong and unique passwords and not sharing your authentication information, (ii)
avoiding the upload of unnecessary Personal Information into the Service, (iii) exercising
oversight to ensure your Educator and Student Users are using the Service
appropriately, (iv) training and educating your Users on the importance of privacy and
security; and (v) limiting information sharing by allowing Users to access only the
information that they need.

and supersede any inconsistent terms and conditions contained in the Agreement.

FERPA
Our Services comply with all applicable provisions of the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). We receive Student Data
from Customers who are educational institutions as a "school official" under FERPA and
only process Student Data for educational purposes. In the event we receive a
subpoena or judicial order for the disclosure of education records, we will notify the
associated institutional Customer(s) prior to fulfilling the request in accordance with
FERPA. For additional information on FERPA, please visit the U.S. Department of
Education's Privacy Technical Assistance Center.

COPPA
We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 unless and until
a School Customer has authorized us to collect such information through the provision of
products on the Customer’s behalf. We comply with all applicable provisions of the
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). To the extent COPPA applies to the
information we collect, we process such information for educational purposes only, at the
direction of the partnering School District or State Agency and on the basis of
educational institutional consent. Upon request, we provide the School Customer the
opportunity to review and delete the personal information collected from students. If you
are a parent or guardian and have questions about your child’s use of the Products and
any personal information collected, please direct these questions to your child’s school.

California Consumer Protection Act
California. This section applies to you if you are a resident of the state of California and
for purposes of this section the term “personal information” has the meaning provided by
the California Consumer Privacy Act (§1798.100 et seq.) (the “CCPA”). Residents of
California may be entitled to certain rights with respect to personal information that we
collect about them under the CCPA: the Right to Know, the Right to Request Deletion
and the Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales. You also have the right to be
free of discrimination for exercising these rights. However, please note that if the
exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the
case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you the Products or
engage with you in the same manner. To request to exercise your California consumer
rights, please contact us at support@edynamiclearning.com with the subject line
“California Rights Request.”

Nevada Privacy Notice
Nevada law provides that Nevada residents may opt-out of the “sale” of “covered
information” to third parties, including but not limited to name, address, social security
number, and online service activity. Our uses of your Personal Information are not sales
under Nevada law, so no opt-out is required.
