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, or under the following
circumstances:
-
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with
ERI under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal
information to help ERI communicate with you about offers from ERI and our
marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right
to share this information.
-
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or
exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
-
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of ERI 's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
-
We transfer information about you if ERI is acquired by or merged with
another company. In this event, ERI will notify you before information
about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
General
-
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.
Account Information
-
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.
-
