How we share or transfer data

MathInfusion takes great care to protect the information you provide us. We do not rent or sell Personal Information that we collect from Users with third parties.

MathInfusion will disclose User information only as described below:

If you want information shared with other Users, we’ll share it for you.

We provide certain features that may allow you to share information with other Users. For example, you may choose to populate your profile with your name, short biography, and location. Or you may ask questions that are visible to other Users of MathInfusion. Whenever you share information with other Users of the Website, any Personal Information that you choose to include in, or is associated with, such User Postings will be accessible by such Users. As with most online services, once you make your Personal Information available to others in any of these ways, it may be collected and used by the recipients without restriction.

Some of our Users choose to connect their MathInfusion account with social networks. This functionality is entirely optional.

To control the information that you share, you have the option of modifying your MathInfusion or social network settings or disconnecting your social network account from your MathInfusion account.

We may share anonymous or aggregate data to improve our services and learn more about our Users.

In certain occasions, MathInfusion may work with business partners to improve our services or offerings. We may disclose automatically collected and other aggregate non-Personal Information to authorized business partners to conduct research on online education or assist in understanding the usage, viewing, and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, promotions, and/or functionality on the Website.

We will share data when required by law.

MathInfusion may also disclose User information if required to do so by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with local, state, federal, international, or other applicable laws (such as U.S. Copyright law) or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant, or administrative request. In some cases, we may make such disclosures without first providing notice to Users.

We may share data in the context of a change of business, including a merger or acquisition.

In the event that MathInfusion is acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, we may transfer or assign the information that we have collected from Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.

We may share data when necessary or appropriate to protect MathInfusion or others.

Your choice and options in our data collection, use, and transfer

You can choose to not provide us with Personal Information

You may always decline to share your Personal Information with MathInfusion. If you do so, however, MathInfusion will not be able to provide to you certain features and functionalities found on our Website. You may later enable or access those features by providing MathInfusion with the necessary Personal Information.

You can edit or delete Personal Information in our records

We want you to have access to your information, so that you can help keep it as accurate as possible. If you register and provide MathInfusion with Personal Information, you may update, correct, or delete it at any time by reviewing your profile information and preferences on your account settings page. If you experience any difficulties in this process, please Contact Us as described below.

You can disconnect us from Integrated Services

You may revoke MathInfusion’s access to your account on any Integrated Service, such as Google or Facebook, at any time by updating the appropriate settings in the account preferences of the respective Integrated Service. You should check your privacy settings on each Integrated Service to understand and change the information sent to us through each Integrated Service. Please review each Integrated Service’s terms of use and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to our Website.

Children users

MathInfusion is committed to children’s privacy.

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to MathInfusion. However, we created no certain features designed to help protect Personal Information relating to children who are less than 13 years of age ("Child User"). In addition, no part of our Site is directed to persons less than 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access this Website at any time or in any manner. MathInfusion does not knowingly permit any person less than 13 years of age to register directly for the Website unless MathInfusion reasonably believes, or has received assurances from a Coach, that the child’s parent has consented to such registration and use of the Website. If MathInfusion learns that Personal Information of persons less than 13 years of age has been collected on the Website without parental consent, then MathInfusion will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has a registered account with the Website without your consent, please alert MathInfusion at our Contact Us page, with either a "Parental \ Guardian \ Coach Consent" or a "Parental \ Guardian \ Coach Account Delete Request" to request that MathInfusion delete that child’s Account and personal information from its systems. Either request must contain complete contact information for you and the Child User in question.

Our approach to data security

Website security is important to you, and to us.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections to your information. We may ask you to provide certain Personal Information to confirm your identity, and may require that you create and use a password to access certain parts of the Website. You should create and maintain a strong password to help ensure the security of your account.

We try to ensure that our Website and information sent to us are safe, but no security measures are perfect.

MathInfusion uses certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Information and other information we maintain in connection with the Website. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any or all of the information you transmit to MathInfusion, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, MathInfusion makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

We will notify you electronically or via the Website if MathInfusion experiences a data security incident that could affect you.

If we learn of a data security incident that compromises or appears to compromise your Personal Information, then we will attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may also post a notice on the Website if a data security incident occurs.

How we maintain data integrity

At MathInfusion, we only use Personal Information as needed for the purposes for which it was collected or where you have consented to our use of Personal Information relating to you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we store and use is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. If you discover that Personal Information or other data pertaining to you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date, please update your account information or Contact Us as outlined below.
