What personal information we collect

We collect two main types of information – personal information and anonymous information – and we may use personal and anonymous information to create aggregate information (which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual student). 
We collect the following categories of personal information: 
As a customer, prospective customer, or user of our Site, we may collect information such as your name, contact information including phone number and email address, school name and country or state of residence or school.
We may also collect details of other interactions that you have with us, together with any other information that you choose to provide us with, for example, through your interactions with our customer and technical support teams.
We do not however collect any unnecessary personal information from Registrants (for instance, information about religious beliefs, culture...).
It is impractical in most circumstances for you to remain anonymous, and we may not be able to interact with you, provide access to the Site, or answer your enquiry if we are not able to identify you or collect your personal information. This information is also needed for renewal purposes.
In the case of school/educational institution customers (School Customer), we seek consent from the School Customer to be provided with Registrant information for and on behalf of that student or teacher.
Registrants who do not give this consent (or do not have this consent provided on their behalf) cannot provide us with their personal information and cannot use the Site. You can however withdraw your consent at any time.

What we will do with your information

The information collected from Registrants, customers or prospective customers may be used for the following purposes: 
to provide access to our products and services, or to provide quotes or offers for, and updates about, our products and services;
to send a confirmation notice to the Registrant of the registration;
to administer and manage accounts, including password resetting, responding to questions raised by Registrants, to contact the Registrant about any problems with the Registrant’s account or conduct on the Site;
to send out a STOPS newsletter or emails about the Site including information about current events, changes, improvements, upgrades, and rules of the Site;
to send prizes or certificates for participation and performance on the Site;
for administrative, planning, product or service development, quality control and research purposes relating to our products and services;
for marketing purposes, but only where we have express or implied consent to contact someone or we are otherwise permitted by law to do so. Registrants may also opt out at any time by following the specific opt out instructions within the communications that we send. All our marketing emails are deployed by SENDGRID and “OPT OUT” options are always available at the footer of the emails. 
The Site does not provide students with any means to communicate directly with each other. There are no chat rooms connected with the learning resources.

What we will not do with your personal information

STOPSProblemSolving will keep your personal information confidential and not sell or knowingly divulge your information to advertisers or any external third parties, unless: 
we believe, in good faith, that we are required to share your information with a third party in order to comply with law, regulation, legal process, court order or subpoena;
to enforce our Terms and Conditions stated above.
the disclosure is to a third party that acts on our behalf, such as a distributor of our products and services;
in connection with any transaction involving our companies or assets, where another party acquires ownership or operation of the Site, in which case that successor organization will be subject to this Privacy Policy; or
to protect the safety and security of our Registrants and our Site.

If third parties act on our behalf, we require them to hold, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy obligations.  
Generally we will only use your information within STOPSProblemSolving, however, sometimes we provide data on results to government education departments, peak bodies managing or representing schools, or schools themselves, especially in the case of School Customers, who use the features of our products (such as performance reporting tools) for educational / teaching purposes. We will require these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and we will require that they not use the data for commercial purposes.

How we collect and process your information

We may collect your personal information in a number of ways, including:  
directly from you (unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so);
from our school / educational institution customers (e.g. teachers or school administrators that purchase access to our Site for their students and teachers).

How long we hold your information

We retain the personal information that we collect from and about our Registrants for as long as it is needed to provide access to the Site or to manage that Registrant’s account. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect if your registration to use our Site lapses and you opt out of receiving further communications from us, or if you ask us to delete your information. We may however retain and use personal information as necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements, and we may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.
