On-Line Privacy
At Courseroads.com (“CRDS”) we believe that the Internet site visitor, (“you”) have a right to know our practices regarding the information we collect when you visit our Internet site and what type of information is collected. The guidelines contained herein only apply to your visits to the Internet site operated by Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc.
While CRDS does not generally require that you provide us with personally identifiable information in order to visit and use the Non-member area of the CRDS site, please note that in order to participate in some activities, such as sending messages to CRDS and becoming a member, it will be necessary for you to provide this information.
Personal information
CRDS respects the privacy of the visitors to our site and is committed to protecting the information you provide to us through this site. CRDS will always protect the personal information that you share with us. CRDS stores information internally in a controlled, secure environment. If, for example, you make a purchase online, we route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.
Personally Identifiable information
We consider the following, among other things, to be personally identifiable information: first and last name, e-mail address, street address and phone number.
We (and/or our agents or affiliates) may collect online and use personally identifiable information from our adult visitors: (1) to process and fulfill orders for products or services (such as our alerts); (2) in connection with games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, our requests for suggestions and visitors' requests for information; and (3) to customize the content on our site for our visitors' current and future needs. In addition, this personally identifiable information may be used to provide our visitors, via e-mail or other means, information about materials and activities that may be of interest to them, including products or services of third parties. For these reasons, we may share such information with third parties. If you are an individual who has provided us with your personal information online or offline and you do not want us to share your information with third parties, or if there is a media notification that you no longer wish to receive from us, please let us know by sending us your name, address, e-mail and phone number at: Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., P.O. Box 2564, Flemington, NJ 08822.
For Parents and Guardians
There are/will be activities on the Courseroads.com site that children can participate in and enjoy without having to share personally identifiable information.
For those activities that require personally identifiable information, such as contests and sweepstakes, in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., will not condition a child's participation in an activity on that child disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to administer the activity. For certain online activities, we may require verifiable parental consent before collecting or using personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. With these activities, Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., will notify the respective parent of our privacy policy and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personally identifiable information from the child, unless we collect only the child's name and online contact information to: (1) obtain parental consent or provide parents with notice; (2) respond directly on a one-time basis to a child's specific request; (3) respond more than once to a child's specific request along with providing parental notice of such use; (4) protect the safety of a child; or (5) comply with legal requirements. When we provide parents with notice and/or seek consent, we also give parents the ability to let us know if they do not want any further use made of the personally identifiable information we have collected from their child. Parents can request to review or have deleted their child's personally identifiable information from Bonnell Street 's records, and refuse to permit further use of a child's personally identifiable information by writing to us at: Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., P.O. Box 2564 , Flemington , NJ 08822 .
Unless we indicate otherwise and obtain prior parental consent, personally identifiable information collected from children under the age of 13 will be used solely by Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., co-operators of any customized features on our site such as Course Roads Communication Center, or Bonnell Street's agents for internal purposes and will not be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties.
For Teachers
A teacher may revoke the consent they have provided on behalf of their students' parents, or inquire about personally identifiable information that has been collected from a student on Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., by writing to us at: Bonnell Street Enterprises, Inc., P.O. Box 2564 , Flemington , NJ 08822 .
When teachers register with our site, we use their sign-in information, which contains personally identifiable information, to ensure that only the teacher who has signed in has access to his or her personal areas of the site. For example, only registered teachers are permitted to administer Teacher's Web Pages or their personal class schedule. Access to administer a teacher's Main is controlled via that teacher's personal username and password, which was established during a/the registration process.
For Kids
Remember to be smart online. Never give out your full name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number or any other personal information that would enable someone to contact you either online or offline, without first asking your parent or guardian for permission. Sometimes on our Courseroads.com site we will ask you for your first name and e-mail address along with your parents' e-mail address. We do this so that we can contact your parents to let them know that you have communicated with us, and that we have collected this information from you.
