At eSchool Media Online we collect different types of information about our users for two main reasons:
1. To help us improve the services we offer.
2. To provide personalized services unique to individual users.
Our principles:
We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarized in one sentence: We will not share your information with others without your prior consent. To uphold these principles, eSchool Media Online has established the following four principles:
1. We will continue to invest in high-quality security and do our utmost to protect user privacy through the appropriate use of the latest security technology.
2. We will respect your eMail privacy. You will not receive unsolicited mail from eSchool Media Online and/or from third parties screened by eSchool Media Online unless you have agreed to this. We will, however, mail you occasionally with information about your registration and/or your subscription account.
3. We will not pass on any individual user details (including your eMail address) unless we have your prior consent.
4. Otherwise, we will only share anonymous aggregate statistics about our users, sales, and traffic patterns with our advertisers.
Should we elect to change our privacy policy we will post the changes here. Where the changes are significant, we may also choose to eMail all our registered users with new details.
What information do we collect?
eSchool Media Online has adopted a set of information management guidelines that serve as the basis for our customer and advertiser relationships.
