Scope of Our Privacy Policy
BeeReaders Inc. makes protecting student and teacher privacy a top priority. Thus, this Privacy Policy encompasses all of our web-based platforms and related sites and services (collectively, our “Services”), which we provide from our website (BeeReaders.com), our mobile applications, our mobile sites, and other Internet points of presence that we may make available (collectively, our “Site”). By using our Services and Site, you agree to our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
School Privacy Policies
In many cases, teachers adopt BeeReaders Inc. based on a school or colleague’s recommendation. Please note, however, that BeeReaders Inc. has its own, separate, privacy policies. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not govern how a school might collect, use, or disclose student or teacher information. Please consult with your school for information about their specific privacy practices if you have any questions or concerns.
What Information We Collect
We collect and use information about students to provide and enhance students’ reading experience. Our records include information maintained by schools or districts or acquired that directly related to a student. We only require students to provide a name, email address, and an identification number to be able to access and use our Services. Students or teachers may enter additional information about students, including, but not limited to student grade-level and assignment feedback. Like many other web-based service providers, we also collect information acquired directly from students and teachers through the use of our Services. This includes page views, clicks, your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, referring or exit pages, browser software, and operating system, as well as the dates and times students and teachers access the Site. We collect this information using unique identifiers and “cookies” (i.e., alphanumeric identifiers we transfer to your computer’s hard drive). If you want to be notified of the use of cookies or prevent your browser from accepting cookies, the “Help” feature in most web browsers will provide instructions. Please keep in mind, however, that some features of our Services may not work properly if a browser disables cookies.
How We Use or Share the Information We Collect
BeeReaders Inc. exists to improve reading comprehension skills among Spanish-speaking students. It is our mission, our focus, and our sole purpose. Accordingly, we do not share information with companies trying to sell their products or other services. Without your express permission, we will never sell, rent, share or disclose student information or student-generated content to a third party for that third party’s commercial use. We do use the information we collect to provide, manage, and improve our Services and student and teacher experience. This includes improving our educational products, understanding student learning preferences, and adapting our Services to provide customized educational experiences. We use collected information to evaluate, develop, and improve our educational Services. We only share student or teacher information in limited circumstances to further educational interests and purposes. These circumstances include sharing data: With Teachers and Administrators - We may disclose a student’s personal information to a student's own teacher, instructional coach, or to a school or district administrator. Occasionally, we may use a faculty email address to respond to a teacher if they email us, or to send updates, alerts and administrative messages about our Service that may be of interest to them and their students. We never send unsolicited emails to students. With Our Service Providers - We can’t do it all, so we rely on a limited number of third-party service providers to assist us in operating our Service (e.g., a third-party website hosting company) and evaluating its efficacy (e.g., a third-party education analytics processor and visualization tool). Our third party providers include: Google Analytics, AWS, Clever, and Churnzero. These services are strictly prohibited from using shared information for any reason other than providing their services unless such information is in an aggregated and anonymized form which does not contain information that may reasonably be used to identify a particular student or individual. They are also required to delete or de-identify shared data upon termination of their services or our request. With Other Educators and Schools and Supporters - We also use the information we collect to demonstrate the effectiveness of our products. We do not use this data for other marketing purposes, to engage in targeted advertising, or to amass a profile of an individual student other than for K12 educational purposes. In the Case of a Business Transfer - We believe BeeReaders Inc. is a world-class business, and others agree with us. So, at some time in the future, it is possible another company may want to acquire us. If they do, they will also be acquiring the information you provide to us relating to you. But don’t worry, if that occurs, we will require that the same or comparable privacy conditions apply. For Your Protection and/or Our Protection - In order to comply with the law, protect our company (including enforcing the Terms of Use), or to protect the safety or rights of us or other persons, we may disclose your personal information. With Your Permission - We may also share your personal information if you give us your permission, and then only to the extent of your consent. As a Part of Aggregated Data - We share aggregated and anonymized information to demonstrate and evaluate our Services. This information does not contain information that may reasonably be used to identify a particular student or individual. How You Can View, Edit, or Delete Your Information Students’ information obtained from schools remains the property of, and are under the control, of schools pursuant to this privacy policy and our Terms of Service. Parents, legal guardians, or eligible pupils may review personally identifiable information in the pupil’s records and correct erroneous information by contacting us at support@BeeReaders.com. If you are the parent of a child under the age of 13, you can also instruct us to refrain from the further collection or use of personal information relating to your child or request a copy of the information collected from your child or student, by emailing us at support@BeeReaders.com with your request. Teachers and school officials can view and modify their student’s BeeReaders Inc. profiles and the information on the Service at any time. Moreover, teachers and schools can request the deletion of students’ or teachers’ accounts and information relating to the Service, by submitting a request to BeeReaders Inc. at support@BeeReaders.com. We will delete associated with specific names, usernames or contact information subject to schools’ direction and any legal obligations that require data retention for a period of time. Security We take precautions to maintain the security, integrity, and confidentiality of personal information you submit to the Service, including storage of your profile and personal information on a secure server behind a firewall. This includes designating and training responsible individuals on ensuring the security and confidentiality of pupil records by: Storing all student data on a set of encrypted-at-rest databases. All of our data is sent via HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) as part of any system interaction with students, teachers, and principals. Although we take great measures to ensure the security of the personal information entrusted to us, no company can guarantee there will never be a security breach. If there is ever such a breach, please know we will do everything we can to protect your information.
Modifications to this Privacy Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If your child or school maintains an account for the Service, we will notify the parent or school/faculty member at the email address provided at the time of account registration, of any material modifications to our Privacy Policy. Other modifications are indicated by a change to the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of the Policy.
