We do not sell your personal information to anyone. To the extent permitted by law, certain nonpublic information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:
We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Site or Services such that such information is no longer linked to your personally identifiable information. We may use and share this aggregated and anonymized information (non-Personal Information) for any purpose, including without limitation, for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with our affiliates and third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners and others.
Anonymized, de-identified data is also used for internal business reporting purposes such as tracking software usage over time, user growth by region over time, as well as used to improve in-software features. We may share the information we have collected about you, including Personal Information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information and as described in this Privacy Policy.
We give you many choices regarding our use and disclosure of your Personal Information for marketing purposes. (Please note that EU residents may have different options described below).
You may opt-out from:
Receiving electronic communications from us: If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out of receiving these marketing-related emails by sending a request for list removal to contact@boddlelearning.com or following the instructions for unsubscribing in the email. If you have provided your information to Boddle Learning, and opt-out, Boddle Learning will put in place processes to honor your request. This may entail keeping some information for the purpose of remembering that you have opted-out. We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you messages for administrative or other purposes directly relating to your use of the Services, and you cannot opt-out from receiving those messages.
Boddle Learning will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Boddle Learning will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
If you are a resident of or located within the European Union (“EU”) or European Economic Area (“EEA”), you have certain additional data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
These rights include:
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information under GDPR
Boddle Learning’s legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Information we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

Disclosure for Law Enforcement
Under certain circumstances, Boddle Learning may be required to disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
If you are a resident of the EU or EEA, you may initiate a request to access, reject, correct, restrict, or erase your Personal Information, or where you may initiate a request for transfer of your Personal Information or initiate a request that we refrain from sending you marketing information by sending us a request at contact@boddlelearning.com and write “GDPR Request” in the subject line.
Please note that the above individual rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where certain exceptions apply. Please note that where our processing of your Personal Information relies on your consent and where you then withdraw that consent, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our services to you and/or it may affect the provision of those services.
Should you wish to raise a concern about our use of information (without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local supervisory authority.
We do not sell Personal Information. Boddle Learning collects certain types of personal information about you during your relationship with Boddle Learning as a user or visitor to the Sites.
Under California law, if you are a resident of California, you have the right to request certain information that we collect about you, including:
In addition, you may request that we provide you with:
Please note that if we collected information about you for a single one-time transaction and do not keep that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section.
In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
Right to Know Information:
If you are a California resident and would like to request information about the Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months, please contact us at this email address contact@boddlelearning.com with “California CCPA Rights” in the subject line and provide your email address and state the nature of your request.
We will provide the requested information free of charge once in a 12-month period, but please note that where we receive unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests, we may elect to decline the request. Note also that we will not be able to provide information we do not ordinarily retain in the course of our regular business practices.
In order to verify your identity, we will request that you provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are a California resident and the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
Right to Delete Information:
The CCPA also gives you the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected about you and for us to direct service providers to do the same, with certain exceptions as set forth in the CCPA. Note that you may also delete certain Personal Information you have provided to us through your online account.
When processing a request to delete, we may erase some information and we may de-identify some information (when we de-identify information, we implement technical safeguards and business processes that prohibit re-identification, business processes to prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information, and will make no attempt to re-identify the information).
If you are a California resident and would like to request that we delete your information, please contact us at this email address contact@boddlelearning.com and include “California CCPA Rights” in the subject line and provide your email address and state the nature of your request.
In order to verify your identity, we will request that you provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are a California resident and the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information:
The CCPA also provides a right to California residents to request to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information.
Boddle Learning does not sell your personal information for monetary compensation.
As indicated above, we may allow third-party advertising companies to collect data from visitors to our Services, including to better serve you more relevant advertisements. These online advertising practices (and certain analytics or similar activities), may potentially be considered “sales” under the CCPA under certain circumstances. You can limit this type of tracking through industry opt-outs (http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and http://www.aboutads.info/choices/) and by limiting ad tracking on your mobile device.
You may also be able to limit the access these third-party advertising companies have to information about you when you use our Site by installing a browser or browser extension that can enable you to block the functionality of some tracking technologies.
If you use different computers or browsers, you may need to indicate your opt-out choices across those computers and browsers.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity.
Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal.
Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track at https://allaboutdnt.com.
If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to request certain information from us regarding the collection and sale of your personal information (as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes 603A.320) during your visit to our websites or when you otherwise interact with us online.
If you have sought or acquired, by purchase or lease, any goods or services for personal, family, or household purposes from the Site, you may ask us to disclose whether we have sold (for monetary consideration) certain information about you (including your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, social security number, an identifier that allows you to be contacted either physically or online, or other contact information that allows us to identify you personally).
As a Nevada resident, you may also request to opt out of us sharing such information about you. To make this inquiry, please submit a request in writing to contact@boddlelearning.com with “Nevada Privacy Rights” in the subject line.
You must include your full name, email address, and attest that you are a Nevada resident by providing a Nevada postal address in your request. Please state whether you are requesting information and/or opting out.
We will process your request within 60 days, or we will let you know if we need additional time. We may require additional information to verify your identity before we can respond.
If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S.
The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States.
By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Because Boddle Learning works with global companies and technologies, we may transfer your Personal Information outside of the country in which it was originally provided.
This may include transfers to third parties, such as service providers or affiliated entities who are located outside the United States or the European Union, where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the U.S., E.U. or European Economic Area (“EEA”).
When we transfer personal data outside of these areas, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Information.
Our transfers of your personal data outside of the E.U. are safeguarded by data processing agreements (“DPAs”) incorporating Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy of the relevant portions of such agreements by contacting us at contact@boddlelearning.com. Please include the nature of your request in the subject line.
We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us at contact@boddlelearning.com
If so, we will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information as business records).
Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons, such as a legitimate business reason.
In addition, please note that if you implement a deletion request but later sign up for information or Services, your most recent request will control our information relationship with you.
For your convenience, the Site(s) and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other websites. Boddle Learning is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site(s) should be deemed to imply that Boddle Learning endorses or has any affiliation with the links.
We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.
In event of a reasonably suspected or confirmed breach where student data is accessed or obtained by an unauthorized individual (“Data Breach”), Boddle Learning Inc will provide notification to the local educational authority or other appropriate party in accordance with applicable law, within a reasonable amount of time of confirmation or reasonable suspicion of the Data Breach, and not exceeding forty-eight (48) hours. The notification will be written in plain language, will be titled "Notice of Data Breach", and shall present the information under the following headings: "What Happened". "What Information Was Involved", "What We Are Doing", "What You Can Do", and "For More Information". Additional information may be provided as a supplement to the notice.
For minor changes which do not reduce user rights under this policy, we will notify our Users via our website and by noting the Last Modified date at the bottom of this policy.
For more significant changes, we will notify our users directly by email if possible, using the email on file. Schools with a signed data policy agreement will be notified in advance of any material changes to privacy policies concerning the processing of student data, including practices around new or additional data collection, or those that may lessen our prior protections around student-data privacy.
