5.4    Online Tracking Choices.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept Cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, some features and services of the Site (particularly those that require sign-in) may not function properly if your Cookies are disabled. Similarly, if you choose to delete session objects from our Site, you may not be able to access and use all or part of the site or benefit from some or all of the information or features and services offered.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have the user’s online activity and behavior tracked.  If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about that browser’s user.  Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform.  For this reason, many websites, including the Site, do not respond to DNT signals.

6    Safety and information security measures.

6.1    Security.

We use certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to preserve the security of your information that we maintain in connection with your use of the Site. For example, we encrypt all data with secure sockets layer (SSL) or similar technologies when we transmit your data. This, however, does not guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by any breach of our physical, technical or managerial safeguards. In the event that any of your Personal Information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and will notify you, as appropriate, in accordance with pertinent laws and regulations.

6.2    Storage.

We or our third party hosting providers store Personal Information in operating environments that are safeguarded against public or unauthorized access and protected from internal access with physical and technical security measures. While these measures are helpful to safeguard your Personal Information after we receive it, no transmission of data over the internet is 100% secure.

7    Children’s online privacy.

If a Child is registered for, or otherwise uses, certain our products or services, we may collect and use Personal Information from such Child, their parent or guardian, or the applicable Sponsoring Organization. As a part of our services, we may also provide this Personal Information to the Child’s parent or guardian, or the applicable Sponsoring Organization. We do not use such Personal Information for any other commercial purpose.  A parent or guardian may review or terminate their Child’s registration, and refuse to permit the further collection or use of their Child’s Personal Information, at any time by contacting us or the Child’s Sponsoring Organization.  If a parent terminates a Child’s registration, we will delete Personal Information provided to us in connection with the registration.  In any event, we will delete a Child’s Personal Information once the information is no longer needed for its educational purpose.
