California Privacy Notice
Summary
- We care about your privacy and have a dedicated data privacy program.
- This California Privacy Notice only applies to individual residents of the State of California and only where we act as ‘business’ (e.g., for our websites and marketing). Where we provide our products and services to consumers on behalf of an institution, we process that personal information as a service provided in accordance with our contractual agreements. In that case, the institution's privacy notice governs the use of personal information.
- We collect personal information from and about you for a variety of purposes and may disclose it to our service providers, business partners and other third parties as described below and in our Privacy Policy.
- We do not sell your personal information for profit.
- As a California resident, you have rights in relation to your personal information. To that end we will honor requests from families to remove data they have previously chosen to upload to our system.
- For any other questions, you can contact us at sales@read-a-thon.com.
Our Commitment to Privacy
We care about privacy. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right for all individuals. Our clients entrust us with the personal information of their employees and their users, who are often students. We take the obligations that are attached to this information very seriously. We therefore have a dedicated data privacy program with privacy by design at heart.
Scope of Notice
This California Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) supplements the information in our Privacy Statement and applies only to individual residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”).
This CA Notice describes how we (as a ‘business’) collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).
Where we provide our products and services to consumers on behalf of our clients, we are considered a ‘service provider’ under CCPA. In this case, the client’s privacy notice governs the use of personal information.
For the purposes of this Notice, personal information does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records.
- Deidentified, aggregated or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you.
- Information relating to our employees, contractors and other personnel (which is governed by a separate privacy notice).
When we use terms that are defined in the CCPA, they have the same meaning as in the CCPA.
Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
We collect personal information from and about you for a variety of purposes. For example, we use personal information:
- To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry.
- To communicate with you, including via email, text message, push notification and/or telephone calls.
- To operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of our website.
- To personalize your experience on our websites.
- To recognize you and remember your information when you return to our websites.
- To help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our websites.
- For testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our services.
- To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
We do not sell your personal information for profit.
