Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Ready Education Inc. ("Ready Education", "we" or "us"), our website at www.readyeducation.com (the "Site"), and all related websites, downloadable software, mobile applications (including tablet applications), and other services provided by us and on which a link to this Privacy Policy is displayed, and all other communications with individuals though from written or oral means, such as email or phone (collectively, together with the Site, our "Service").
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the information that we gather on or through the Service, how we use and disclose such information, and the steps we take to protect such information. By visiting the Site or by using the Service, you accept the terms and conditions of this Policy.
This Policy is incorporated into, and is subject to, our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in our Terms of Service.
We collect different types of information from or through the Service. The legal bases for our processing of Personal Information are primarily that the processing is necessary for providing the Service and that the processing is carried out in our legitimate interests, which are further explained in the "Use of Information" section. We may also process Personal Information upon your consent, asking for it as appropriate.
When you use the Service, you may provide and we may collect certain information that personally identifies you or could be used to personally identify you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information includes (but is not limited to) the following categories of information: first name, last name, email address, username, password, student ID and other educational record data (course timetable, assignments, grades, attendance tracking, financial information, etc.). Personal Information also includes other information, such as preferences, when any such information is linked to information that identifies a specific individual. You may provide us with Personal Information in various ways on the Service. For example, when you use the Service, send us customer service-related requests, register for an account, interact with other users of the Service through communication or messaging capabilities, etc. If you choose to withhold any Personal Information requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the Service.
When you use the Service, we may collect information about your location. With your permission, we may also collect information about your precise location using methods that include GPS, wireless networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and compasses.
Our Services may also request access to your device's location, calendar, camera and/or gallery. If you have previously allowed access to your device's location, calendar, camera and/or gallery, and no longer wish to allow access, you may edit the application settings at the device level. Note that the access will be used for the following limited purposes only:
When you use the Service, we may automatically record certain information from your device by using various types of technology, including cookies, "clear gifs" or "web beacons." This automatically-collected information may include IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites visited just before or just after using the Service, the pages or other content you view or interact with on the Service, and the dates and times of the visit, access, or use of the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you open, click on, or forward a message. You may limit the automatic collection of certain information by our Service, for instance by disabling the cookies using your browser options. Please be aware that by doing so it may prevent you from using specific features on our Service, such as maintaining an online account. We use automatically-collected information and other information collected on the Service through cookies and similar technologies to: (i) personalize our Service, such as remembering your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during a visit or on subsequent visits; (ii) provide customized advertisements, content, and information; (iii) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of Service and third-party marketing activities; (iv) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (v) track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities on the Service.
You may be given the option to access or register for the Service through the use of your user name and passwords for certain services provided by third parties (each, an "Integrated Service"), or otherwise have the option to authorize an Integrated Service to provide Personal Information or other information to us. By authorizing us to connect with an Integrated Service, you authorize us to access and store your name, email address(es), and other information that the Integrated Service makes available to us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Policy. You should check your privacy settings on each Integrated Service to understand what information that Integrated Service makes available to us, and make changes as appropriate. Please review each Integrated Service’s terms of use and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to our Service.
We may obtain information, including Personal Information, from third parties and sources other than the Service, such as our partners and Integrated Services. If we combine or associate information from other sources with Personal Information that we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.
We take steps designed to ensure that only those employees of your educational institution who need access to your Personal Information to fulfill their employment duties will have access to it.
We use the information that we collect in a variety of ways in providing the Service and operating our business, including:
In certain circumstances, in order to perform the Service, we may disclose certain information that we collect from you:
When we disclose your Personal Information to third parties, we take reasonable measures to ensure that the rules set forth in this Policy are complied with and these third parties provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures.
We may finally make certain automatically-collected, aggregated, or otherwise non-personally-identifiable information available to third parties for various purposes, including (i) compliance with various reporting obligations; (ii) for business or marketing purposes; or (iii) to assist such parties in understanding your interests, habits, and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, and/or functionality available through the Service.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Information in our possession. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards. If you believe your Personal Information has been compromised, please contact us as set forth in the "Contact" section. If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes set out in this Policy and in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. If you would like further information regarding the periods for which your Personal Information will be kept, please contact us as set forth in the "Contact" section.
You can request to remove identifying data attached to your activity within the app using either of these methods:
If your school uses Single Sign-On (meaning you log into your Campus App using your school-issued account), you may need to take separate steps in order to delete your data from your school's system. Contact your school's support team for more information.
Note that we retain certain data (such as the school-issued email address attached to your account) for the purpose of maintaining a safe and secure mobile app experience. Anonymized, aggregate click-tracking data is also retained in order to preserve data analytics and insights. This information is available only through the Campus Cloud administrative web platform, and only to users with administrative permissions.
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage third party service providers. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country. While such information is outside of Canada, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. However, our practices regarding your Personal Information will at all times continue to be governed by this Policy and, if applicable, we will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation("GDPR") requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of Personal Information from the EU/EEA to third country.
The Service may contain features or links to websites and services provided by third parties. Any information you provide on third-party sites or services is provided directly to the operators of such services and is subject to those operators’ policies, if any, governing privacy and security, even if accessed through the Service. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of third-party sites or services to which links or access are provided through the Service. We encourage you to learn about third parties’ privacy and security policies before providing them with information.
On written request and subject to proof of identity, you may access the Personal Information that we hold, used or communicated and ask that any necessary corrections be made, where applicable, as authorized or required by law. However, to make sure that the Personal Information we maintain about you is accurate and up to date, please inform us immediately of any change in your Personal Information by mail or e-mail.
