Vantage Learning (USA) LLC, and its affiliated companies (“Vantage”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information entrusted to us on our websites. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains our online privacy practices.
I. Introduction
FormReleaf requires access to a computer with an Internet connection. Typically, a parent, guardian or child will use FormReleaf to register for an event or activity.
II. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the FormReleaf Website (“Website”). This Website is operated in the United States. Our Website includes links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Vantage. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Vantage never links its FormReleaf Website to any other site not preauthorized and determined to be beneficial for student development by a student’s school.
III. Information Collection and Use
Vantage neither owns nor ultimately exercises direct control over any student information provided by a school. The information provided is used simply and exclusively to ensure that a parent, guardian or child gains access to and is able to use FormReleaf successfully. All student information provided to Vantage remains absolutely confidential at all times. Vantage does not use, transmit or disseminate any student information for any other purpose then to effectuate and fulfill its responsibilities and obligations to your child’s school, school district or other educational institution or program (“School”). Vantage neither requests, culls or collects any additional information.
At times, Vantage uses or compiles raw non-specific student data only for research studies and quality control purposes. If information is compiled or collected for such purposes, students are not personally identifiable- their identities are completely anonymous and never subject to release or publication. By doing so, Vantage complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), 20 USC §1232g, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, 45 CFR Part 160.103, the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Financial Modernization Act of 1999, 15 USC §6809; and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
Your child’s school bears exclusive responsibility for and is deemed to exercise ultimate policy and decision-making authority over any and all aspects or associated undertakings of its use and application of the FormReleaf program.
IV. Help Section
In the event that you have a technical issue while on our site and require technical assistance, we will collect personally identifiable information such as your name, e-mail, phone number and location in order to process your service request. This information is not shared with any third parties for their promotional purposes and is solely used to fulfill your request.
V. Registration
Vantage works in tandem with your child’s school, school district or other educational institution or program (“School”) to provide FormReLeaf. Generally, your child’s school provides very limited details about your child, such as the name of your child and his or her teacher.
VI. Parental Consent
FormReleaf is accessible to students under the age of 18 only when such students are designated to be authorized users by the parent or guardian. Vantage Learning will not provide access to the FormReleaf program without a school’s written acknowledgement that it has obtained permission to do so.
VII. Changes to Student Information
You may ask to make changes to student information or request that your child’s username and password be deactivated if you no longer desire your child to use the FormReleaf program. Kindly e-mail our Customer Support at formreleaf@vantage.com, contact Customer Support by telephoning 844-367-6735 or make your request in writing addressed to Customer Support, Vantage Learning, 6805 Route 202, New Hope PA 18938.
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
VIII. Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s computer and tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while using FormReleaf. FormReleaf uses session ID cookies to speed and enhance a student’s navigation within the platform. Once a user closes the browser, the cookie automatically terminates.
IX. Log Files
Like most standard Internet website servers, Vantage uses log files that identify a user’s Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. None of this information is ever linked to personally identifiable student information.
X. Sharing
Vantage never sells, shares, rents or distributes information provided by schools to anyone other than a designated or authorized school official, administrator or authority legally entitled to review such information. Under certain circumstances, Vantage may be directed to disclose personally identifiable information when required by law based upon a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on the FormReleaf website.
XI. Security
Vantage takes every precaution to protect user information. Information is protected both online and offline. Any information provided to Vantage is restricted to Vantage’s offices and employees. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (customer service, help desk, and technical personnel) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. From time to time, as new policies are added or existing policies are modified, employees will be notified and/or reminded about the importance Vantage places on privacy and how they can ensure that information is protected. In addition, all computer Internet servers on which Vantage stores information are kept in a secure environment, behind locked and encrypted databases.
X. Site and Services Updates
Vantage sends Website and service announcement updates to its users by e-mail. However, these communications are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive these updates, you may click on the unsubscribe link located on the bottom of the e-mail. If you have additional questions, please e-mail formreleaf@vantage.com or call 844-367-6735. On occasion, Vantage invites users to voluntarily submit further written works and/or receive feedback on their written work from the Website. Vantage communicates with users to provide requested services regarding their account via e-mail or phone.
XI. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If it does, modifications will be indicated on the FormReleaf home page and on Vantage’s home page to ensure that users are aware of any such changes. If at any point Vantage modifies its policies for using personally identifiable information as detailed and outlined at the time a particular user first gained access to use FormReleaf, Vantage will notify that user prior to the change becoming effective by sending an explanatory e-mail, provided the user has not opted out of all communication with the site or deleted/deactivated their user account.
XII. Special Notes to Parents or Guardians
You have the right to request that your child discontinue use of FormReleaf or that your child’s record or information not be maintained in any retrievable form. Requests to delete any and all of your child’s information should be made through proper school authorities.
