Your privacy is very important to us. Unlike other free online services, we have no desire to collect or sell your personal information.
There are only four pieces of information that we care about:
Personally identifiable information is never collected, unless you explicitly provide it to us via the website contact form or the Feedback button in our apps. Feedback is sent via e-mail to our mail server, which is administered by Fastmail.
To collect usage statistics, we use an anonymous beacon system rather than third-party analytics. The first time you access our website or launch our apps, we generate a non-unique random number. This random number, along with your web browser version, operating system version, application version, and/or mobile device model is periodically transmitted to our server. As each random number can be shared by several users, it cannot be used to track individual access. This approach gives us broad usage estimates while also preserving privacy.
When a crash or error occurs, our crash reporting system collects the following pieces of information: location of the error, type of error, events preceding the error, web page on which the error occurred, web browser version, operating system version, mobile device model, and/or other non-personally identifiable information. This information is stored on our servers and not shared with third-parties.
Our exercises feature a homework verification system where students enter text to “sign” a Progress Report. The signature text is embedded inside the resulting verification code. While this system is explicitly designed such that codes do not have to be stored on our servers, we may need to do so in order to diagnose and fix errors. To protect privacy, we strongly recommend that students use their initials or a unique identifier rather than their names.
We use Akamai for server hosting and distribute our applications via Apple's App Store.
We do not collect personally identifiable information about you, except when you provide it to us via the the website contact form or the Feedback button in our apps. We use this information to reply to you.
We do not use or collect your precise geographic location.
Personally identifiable information may be entered as the signature of an exercise's Progress Report. The signature is encoded in the resulting verification code. In the event of an error, a verification code (and thus the signature) may be included in our logs or sent to our crash report aggregator. Codes may be also be sent to our server to help diagnose issues with the verification system. We use this information to fix the error. We strongly recommend that students do not use their full names as the signature text.
Our website collects non-personally identifiable information about your web browser and computer. We use this information to determine which web browsers and operating systems to support.
Our apps collect non-personally identifiable information about your device and operation system version. We use this information to determine which devices and operating systems to support.
Our applications periodically poll our servers to check for updates to lesson and exercise content.
In the event that our website or an application encounters an error, non-personally identifiable information pertaining to the error may be sent to our servers. We use this information to fix the error.
We may keep data indefinitely. We try to follow good practices for log rotation, but we also make copious backups, which may inadvertently store data.
Our website generates a non-unique random number upon the first visit and saves it as a cookie. This number is periodically included in communications with our anonymous beacon system. This approach allows us to estimate web browser usage share while preserving user privacy.
Our website uses HTML5 Web Storage to persist information such as: lesson view mode, exercise scores, and calculator settings.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally-identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include links to third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Because we value your privacy we have taken the necessary precautions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent.
We do not track users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), we do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.
By using our site or applications, you consent to this privacy policy.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page.
