Privacy Policy

Last updated August 11, 2023

Edlio, LLC (“Edlio”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information we receive when you use Edlio applications. If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should first contact Edlio at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect new technology, your needs, and business developments. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Application. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.

1. Our Policy Towards Children.

The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent, with limited exceptions, before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. Edlio does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under 13, except for that child’s name, email address, and the parent or guardian email address, which is the limited amount of personally identifiable information we are allowed to collect in order to provide notice to parents regarding the fact that we may contact their child multiple times for the purpose of providing the service that their teacher has signed up for. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13, except for that child’s name, email address, and child’s parent’s email address, without parental consent being obtained from his or her parent or guardian, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at [email protected] .

References to “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy shall apply to personal information of individual users of the Application.

2. Definitions.

Before you review this Privacy Policy, we recommend you are familiar with the following concepts and terms so that you can best understand how Edlio uses data about you and to enhance your experience using the Application.

2.1 We.

“We” is defined as “Edlio, LLC”.

2.2 API.

An application programming interface or “API” is a particular set of rules and specifications that allows one software program to access and make use of another software program. It helps facilitate the interaction between applications, similar to the way the user interface facilitates interaction between humans and computers. Edlio uses APIs to enable programming or other similar third-party technologies, products, or activities available through the Application.

2.3 Cookies and other Tracking Technologies.

Cookies are small text files that web servers typically send to users’ computer when they visit a website. Cookies can be used on mobile applications as well. Cookies can be read or edited when the user loads a website or advertisement from the domain that wrote the cookie in the first place. Cookies are used by companies to collect and send information about a user’s visit – for example, number of visits to the application, average time spent, pages viewed, navigation history through the website, and other statistics. This information can be used to improve a user’s online experience by saving passwords, or allowing companies to track and improve website loading times, for instance. Cookies can also be used to track a user’s browsing or online purchasing habits and to target advertisements to specific users. Cookies cannot be used to access any other data on a user’s mobile device, to personally identify them, or to act like malware or a virus. Users who prefer not to accept cookies on the web can set their Internet browser to notify them when they receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being placed on their hard drive. You can read more about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/. We may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (individually or collectively “Pixel Tags”) in connection with our Application to collect usage, demographic and geographical location data. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel that is ordinarily not visible to users and may be associated with cookies on a user’s hard drive. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain screens of the Application, to deliver branded Application and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.

2.4 Personally Identifiable Information.

We define personally identifiable information (or “PII”) as “information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person or can be used with other sources to uniquely identify a single individual.” e. g. name, address, social security number, e-mail address etc. This is the common industry definition used by most Internet companies. Information that call “non-PII.”

Certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information would be considered a part of your Personally Identifiable Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered Non-Personally Identifiable Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Personally Identifiable Information (for example, your viewing preferences).

Edlio is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We are not in the business of providing information security.

Do not provide your Personally Identifiable Information if you are concerned with its disclosure. We do our best to keep your information secure. We try to keep the Application available, bug-free and safe, but do not make guarantees about any part of our Application.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via e-mail or conspicuous posting via the applications in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide the applications to you and others, including those described above. Typically, information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted. For certain categories of data, we may also tell you about specific data retention practices.

11. International Transfer.

Your information may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to transfer of data across servers located in various states and countries.

12. Phishing.

Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to Edlio. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority.

For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website.
