This policy
covers how Education Reporting, Inc. (ERI) treats personal information
that ERI collects and receives, including information related to your
past use of ERI products and services. Personal information is information
about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email
address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy
does not apply to the practices of companies that ERI does not own or
control, or to people that ERI does not employ or manage.
General
* ERI collects personal
information when you register with ERI , when you use ERI products or
services, when you visit ERI pages or the pages of certain ERI partners,
and when you enter promotions or contests. ERI may combine information
about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners
or other companies.
* When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address,
school information, gender, zip code, and personal interests. For some
products and services we may also ask for your address. Once you register
with ERI and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
* ERI collects information about your transactions with us and with some
of our business partners, including information about your use of reporting
products and reporting services that we offer.
* ERI automatically receives and records information on our server logs
from your browser, including your IP address.
* ERI may opt to use information ERI collects for the following general
purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your
requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you,
or conduct research.
Information Sharing and
Disclosure
* ERI does not rent, sell,
or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated
companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when
we have your permission.
* ERI displays targeted advertisements based on personal information.
Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who
interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria
- for example, females ages 15-18 from a particular geographic area.
o ERI does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when
you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with
or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser
will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to
display the ad.
o ERI advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks,
insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial
companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
* ERI works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers
in different industries and categories of business.
Account Information
* You can edit your ERI Account
Information.
* New categories of communications may be added to Account Options from
time to time. Users who visit their Account page can opt out of receiving
future communications from categories or they can unsubscribe by following
instructions contained in the messages they receive.
* When you register with
ERI or submit information to ERI , a temporary copy of that information
is routinely made to prevent accidental loss of your information through
a computer malfunction or human error.
* ERI keeps your account information active in our user registration databases
in order to provide immediate access to your personalization preferences
each time you visit ERI .
* If you ask ERI to delete your ERI account, in most cases your account
will be deactivated and then deleted from our user registration database
in approximately 90 days. This delay is necessary to discourage users
from engaging in fraudulent activity.
* Please note that any information that we have copied may remain in back-up
storage for some period of time after your deletion request. This may
be the case even though no information about your account remains in our
active user databases.
Servers
* The ERI computers (called
"servers") that send your web pages and advertising banners
process and store an enormous amount of information every day. These computer
records are called "log files."
* Log files are used for analysis, research, auditing, and other purposes,
as described above. After this information has been used, it is stored
and is inaccessible. Until the information is stored, your ERI ID may
remain in our active server log files.
Changes to this Privacy
Policy
* ERI may update this policy.
We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal
information by placing a prominent notice on our site.
Confidentiality and Security
* We limit access to personal
information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come
into contact with that information to provide products or services to
you or in order to do their jobs.
* We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply
with federal regulations to protect personal information about you.
*
