Some social networking services may allow you to transfer content from Teachers1on1’s Services to your contacts or to retrieve information about your contacts so you can connect with them to the Services. Some social networking services also will facilitate your registration for our Website or personalize or enhance your experience on our Website. Your decision to use a social networking service is completely voluntary. However, you should make sure you are comfortable with the information your third-party social networking services may make available to Teachers1on1 by visiting and reviewing the privacy policies of those third-party social networking services' websites and by modifying your privacy settings directly on those websites.

Teachers1on1, or service providers acting on behalf of Teachers1on1, may use information collected from your use of the Services for any of the following purposes: 1) send marketing and other communications to Teachers1on1 visitors about Teachers1on1 products or about the products and services of promotional partners that are not owned or affiliated with Teachers1on1; 2) to allow Teachers1on1 to notify visitors of upcoming offers, events, promotions, or activities on the Website; 3) to conduct internal reviews of the Services (e.g. to determine the number of visitors to the Website); 4) to fulfill purchases; 5) to respond to specific requests from Website visitors; 6) to provide any necessary notices to Website visitors; 7) to conduct marketing research; 8) to protect the security or integrity of the Services; 9) as permitted by, and to comply with, any regulatory or legal requirements; and 10) for any other purpose to which you consent.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

Teachers1on1 will not sell, rent or otherwise distribute your personal information, except as for sharing your personal information with our third-party services providers to facilitate the services they provide to Teachers1on1 such as advertising and data analytics services.

Teachers1on1 currently uses the following third parties and advertising features for the Services: Google Analytics, Google Analytics Remarketing, Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, Facebook Ads, Facebook Pixel, Facebook Conversion API, Twitter Pixel & Conversion Tracking, and LinkedIn Pixel & Conversion Tracking (collectively, "Group One Providers").

Additionally, Teachers1on1 uses Quantum Metric for data analytics. Teachers1on1 uses analytics tools in our services to enhance user experience by optimizing the efficiency, design, and quality of the Website. These analytics tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information related to user behavioral metrics on our services, such as mouse movements, clicks, user inputs, scrolling, access times, visit duration, pages viewed, IP address (including approximate location), operating system, and page reloading. These tools provide insight into what works and what doesn’t work for users of the services, and they allow us to, for example, identify and repair technical errors such as broken links that impair the services’ functionality. The tools do not make "recordings" of users’ experience with the services, but rather help us reconstruct the user experience to better understand, for example, where users may be encountering frustration or impediments to using the services. Personal information collected through Quantum Metrics is encrypted and never shared with third parties and is never used for advertising purposes.

Teachers1on1 uses personal data to accomplish successful operation of the services provided and to improve the efficiency and quality of the services, debugging, identifying, and repairing errors that impair the intended functionality of the services.

Legal Requirements

Teachers1on1 cooperates with law enforcement. As we may determine in our sole discretion, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by applicable law, including, without limitation, responding to a subpoena or request from law enforcement, court, or government agency, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (i) comply with a legal obligation; (ii) protect or defend our rights, interests or property or that of third parties; (iii) prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services; (iv) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of customers, guests, or the public; or (v) protect against legal liability.  In the event that Teachers1on1 believe your use of the Website is or may be a violation of applicable law, in circumstances Teachers1on1 deems appropriate, Teachers1on1 may report your account and information to law enforcement, including NCMEC.

Clicking Links To Third Party Websites

While Teachers1on1 supports the protection of privacy on the internet, Teachers1on1 is not responsible for the actions of any third-party websites. Teachers1on1 encourages you to carefully read and review the posted privacy statements of any and every website you visit, whether you are linking from the Website or browsing on your own. Teachers1on1 uses the following Third Party service providers:

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY NOTICE

Teachers1on1 recognizes the need to provide additional privacy protections with respect to the personal information we may collect from children pursuant to the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"). This privacy notice supplements our Privacy Policy and provides additional information about how we collect, use and share personal information from children under the age of 13 (a "Child"), and Users under the age of 18 (a "Teen"). Both a Child and a Teen will be subject to this privacy notice, and are collectively to be referred to as "Children" or as "Students". A Parent User may be provided the opportunity to create a sub-account for a Child or Teen of whom they are the parent or legal guardian, directly linked to the Parent User’s Account (a "Sub-Account"). Teachers1on1 will always seek full verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian ("Parent User") for all Children accessing the Platform and certain other Services via a Sub-Account (a "Child User" or a "Teen User"). The same provisions apply to both Child Users and Teen Users, and they are to be collectively referred to as Student Users.

How Children can use and register for our Service

Teachers1on1 does not knowingly permit Children to purchase or subscribe to any Services, including the creation of a Sub-Account. The Sub-Account creation feature for our Services is intended strictly for a Parent User, and we take measures to make this apparent in order to prevent children from submitting personal information for our Services in this manner.

A Student User may be granted access to their Sub-Account in three ways: 1) the Parent User may select the Student User from the Parent User’s dashboard, and choose "Log in as Student" to switch to the student dashboard, 2) the Parent User may select a Student User’s lesson from the Parent Dashboard and choose "Log in as Student" to switch to the student dashboard, or 3) the Parent User may choose to add an email address to the Student User’s Sub-Account. If a Parent User chooses to grant access by way of option 3, the Student User will be emailed a link to access lessons and their dashboard ("Magic Link") at the email address provided by the Parent. The Magic Link will only be accessible by the registered Student User for a limited duration, and will expire once the lesson has concluded.

When a Student User is registered for a Sub-Account, we will obtain parental consent through the use of a credit card, debit card, or other online payment system that provides notification of each discrete transaction to the Parent User, or through verbal means directly with the Parent User. Teachers1on1 does not ask any Student User for any more information than is necessary to provide the Service to the Student User or to seek Parent User consent. If Teachers1on1 learns that personal information of a Student User has been collected from use of our Services without Parent User consent, Teachers1on1 will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or legal guardian and discover that your Child or Teen has created an account without consent, please contact support@teachers1on1.com and request that we delete that Child’s or Teen’s personal information from our systems.

Information We Collect about Children

We collect a first name, date of birth, and grade-level when a Parent User creates a Sub-Account for a Student User to access our Services, as well as any other personal information a Parent User may voluntarily add to a Student User’s profile, which consists of a biography or a profile picture. We may also collect the email address of the Student User if a Parent User provides such information during the creation of the Student User’s Sub-Account.

Information We Collect from Children

We collect information about the Student User’s use of the Service and any Content of their creation uploaded or displayed on the Platform, including works posted on message boards and whiteboards. We will further collect a Student’s usage and device information, as described below. Lastly, Teachers1on1 may collect audiovisual recordings of Student Users accessing the Platform and certain other Services. The recordings may contain a Student’s voice and image, messages, Q&A, or other content (such as a presentation or whiteboard) shared by a Student during a meeting or webinar.  Teachers1on1 may store the recordings for up to two (2) years. Teachers1on1 employees do not access this content unless the Parent User directs us to do so, for training purposes, to make assessments, including through the use of machine learning algorithms, as to the efficacy of the tutoring or of the tutor, or as required for legal, security, or safety reasons.

When a Student User visits their dashboard, we automatically collect the following information: IP address, information about the Student User’s browser and device, which parts of the Student Sub-Account they visit, and the time they spend on the platform.

How We Share Information from Student Sub-Accounts 

Student Sub-Accounts have limited information sharing capabilities. Students’ first name, grade level, and progress information, along with any personal information the Parent User added to the Student’s profile, may be shared with a Teacher with whom the Parent User requests a lesson. Teachers will not be able to communicate directly with a Student User outside of the lesson, and any non-lesson communication can only occur through the Parent Account. When using our Services via a Student Sub-Account, a Student User will only be able to access their lesson history, current and future scheduled lessons and their replays, and our customer service department. A Student User could post personally identifiable information in free-form content on the Service, such as any Content generated through use of the whiteboard; Parent Users should monitor the Child User’s posts and delete personal information if needed. Teachers1on1 may also disclose personal information of Student Users for business purposes, as described in the general Privacy Policy. We do not disclose personal information of Student Users for direct marketing purposes or for targeted advertising purposes. In addition, we take steps to disable third party ad networks on webpages with child-directed content or when a Student User logs into a Sub-Account on the Service.

Parental Control over Student Sub-Accounts

Parent Accounts have the ability to access and control information a Student User provides via the Sub-Account. If you are a Parent User, you may request to review the personal information collected from your Student. You may also revoke your consent and refuse the further use or collection of personal information of your Student. To revoke consent and refuse the future collection or use of a Student’s personal information, a Parent User can delete the Student User’s Sub-Account. To request to review the personal information collected from a Student or to request the deletion of a Student User’s personal information and/or Sub-Account, a Parent User must contact our customer service department at support@teachers1on1.com and submit a formal request.

Further Information

If you or your student have further questions about the collection and use of Student’s data please contact us at  support@teachers1on1.com.
