School Window | Innovative e-Payment Solutions for School Agencies

This is the privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") for the SCHOOL WINDOW, LLC Web Site with a front page at the schoolwindow.com domain name (this "Site"). This Site is made available by SCHOOL WINDOW, LLC ("SWindow" or "we" or "us"). This Privacy Policy sets forth our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of certain personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") relating to an individual's use of this Site. Your use of this Site signifies your understanding and acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and part of, the SWINDOW Web Site Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of this Site in general, and shall be read as if the Terms and Conditions and Privacy are one unified document.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information collected through this Site, but not to SWindow's offline business activities.

UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal Information

When you send us an e-mail request or inquiry through the "Contact Us" section of this Site, we obtain your name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address and other information relating to your inquiry/request. We also obtain Personal Information as part of our recruitment processes, and when you submit an online employment application form, you create an "Online Profile" of yourself and provide to us Personal Information, which includes your name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address and other employment-related information. Such Personal Information is only kept for the period required for fulfilling your request or dealing with your job application. We also may collect additional Personal Information from you from time to time through other forms on this Site, through e-mail correspondence, and through other online means. The information required will be the minimum to enable SWindow to deal with your request. Where additional information is requested this will be marked and its provision is voluntary. Additional information is only requested to enable us to provide the most appropriate response to your request.

Sensitive information is not sought through this Site except where legally required as part of the recruitment process. Sensitive information includes data relating to: race or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; physical or mental health; sexual orientation or criminal record. Where you do provide sensitive information this will be accepted as explicit consent to use that information in connection with the purpose for which it has been provided.

Technical Information

When you visit this Site, we may collect technical information that does not, by itself, identify you by name. This information may include, for example, your IP (Internet Protocol) address, which pages you visit on this Site, other pages you visit on the Web, and which browser you used to view this Site. This technical data is used to measure and improve the effectiveness of this Site, to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this Site, to see where Site traffic is coming from and to identify our users. We may also collect other non-personally identifiable information via this Site, such as Site usage activity and preferences, also known as demographic or profile data. We do not currently, but reserve the right to, combine the data described in this paragraph with your Personal Information.

DO WE USE COOKIES?

We may use "cookies" to keep, and sometimes track, information about you. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser or related software from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies track where you travel on the Site and what you look at. In doing so, a cookie may enable us to relate your use of the Web site to your Personal Information. Many other Web sites use cookies for very similar purposes.

Most Web browsers can be set to inform you when a cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. Additionally, your Flash player can be set to reject or delete Flash cookies. Refusing a cookie will generally not interfere with your use of the Web site. However, refusal of a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using or negatively impact the display or function of the Web site or certain areas or features of the Web site.

DO WE USE WEB BUGS

We may use "web bugs" (described in more detail below) in this Site or in our communications with you to verify your viewing and/or receipt of communications. A "web bug" is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a Web page or in an e-mail, which is retrieved from a remote site on the Internet enabling the verification of an individual's viewing or receipt of a Web page or e-mail message.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use Personal Information collected on and through this Site for a variety of purposes in the course of business and as otherwise set forth herein. Personal Information provided is used only for the specific purpose for which it was provided except where you explicitly select to receive other information from SWindow. When requesting material or asking someone to contact you there will be the option to receive other information that may be of interest. For example:

To respond to your requests that you send to us via e-mail or "Contact Us";
To process your requests and deliver to you requested materials;
To contact you when you request further information;
To send you mail and e-mail messages promoting our products and services. (You may opt-out of receiving certain promotional e-mail messages from us as described in the "Opt-out" section below.)

DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We may contract with other companies or individuals to provide you the services that you request from us or to otherwise operate this Site or our business activities. Such companies may be given access to your Personal Information for their use in connection with those purposes on our behalf.

We may use third party service providers to develop and/or host our web site, to host and maintain our databases, to transmit our e-mail messages, and to provide other back-end services for this Site. In connection with this, such service providers may have access to your Personal Information for use on our behalf consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may, as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization or liquidation of our company (a "Reorganization Event"), transfer, sell or assign your Personal Information to third parties involved in the Reorganization Event.

From time to time, we may be required to provide Personal Information in response to a court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful, and to disclose any information concerning you as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate this Site properly, or to protect or defend our rights or the rights or well-being of our users or if you are involved (or are reasonably suspected to be involved) in any illegal or harmful activity, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order. We may release certain Personal Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
