This website is the sole property of Zipper Technologies Pvt. Ltd., India (“We”, “our” and “us” in this Privacy Policy). This policy is in addition to all other terms and conditions applicable to www.edusynk.com (“the website”) and relates to the collection and use of personal information you may supply to us through your communication on the website. We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected, in particular information that is capable of identifying an individual (“personal information”).
This policy governs the manner in which your personal information, obtained through the website, will be dealt with. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify or remove portions of this policy at any time. Therefore, this policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes. By using or accessing the services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and you hereby consent that we will collect, use and share your information, which is set out below:
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our services, but not to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you and allow other users to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described later in this policy.
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, picture, and phone number. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.
We may receive Personal Information about you from the school or institute you are associated with (or, in the case of students, from your teacher or parent). This privacy policy applies to our use of such Personal Information as well, but please note that when we use the term “Children’s Personal Information” in this Policy, we are denoting only that personally identifiable information of users who have registered for the services as minor student users, that was received directly from that student user (him or herself). We do not condition participation in our services on disclosure of more Children’s Personal Information than is reasonably necessary for that participation, and we do not retain Children’s Personal Information longer than is reasonably necessary for such participation, in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was disclosed.
Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
As described above, Personal Information may be disclosed about individuals (including student, parent, and teacher users of the services) from the school or board such person is or has been associated with. We do not control how such school or a board chooses to use or disclose such information, including in connection with the services. For example, the services may permit a school to share Personal Information (either in an aggregate or personally identifiable manner) with another user of the services. If you have a student account, the services may also permit the school, board, teacher, or parent account(s) associated with your account to view all activity and information (including messages and Personal Information) associated with your account. EduSynk itself will not disclose such Personal Information to third parties except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
We may provide aggregate usage information to our partners, who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally, as an individual person.
We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. For example, we may use a payment processing company to receive and process payments we receive from schools, or we may use an analytics or customer service company that helps us improve how the services function. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
Depending on your user type, certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any video or image content that such user has uploaded to the services, may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the services or address your request for our services. Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others.
Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile (if your user type offers such a functionality), along with any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other users can view (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, etc.) becomes publicly available, and can be collected and used by anyone. Your user name may also be displayed to other users if and when you send messages or comments or upload content through the services and other users can contact you through messages and comments. For clarity, student user profiles (and Children’s Personal Information included in those user profiles) are only viewable by the applicable parent, teacher, school, and board with which the applicable student is associated.
We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information (including Personal Information) in connection with such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of EduSynk, our employees, our users, or others.
If you have a school account, you may access, and, in some cases, edit or delete information you’ve provided to us about your school or board or any School-Provided Information.
We’re constantly trying to improve our services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the EduSynk website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
You can always opt not to disclose information to us, but keep in mind some information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features. You may be able to add, update, or delete information as explained above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. You may request deletion of your account by contacting the applicable school or institute that originally provisioned the account using the services. Some information may remain in our records after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally, and only in accordance with the Term of Service.
