BrainPOP UK and all BrainPOP products and services strictly adhere to the goals and guidelines put forth by regulatory oversight such as Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP – UK); Good Practice Guidance for the Moderation of Interactive Services for Children – UK Home Office; the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA - USA); the Center for Media Education (CME - USA); the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the Council of Better Business Bureaux – USA; and any other organisations that provide for or advise as to online safety and privacy for children, households, parents and schools (“Users”). BrainPOP UK recognises that privacy and online safety are important issues, so we design and operate our technology and services with our Users’ protection and privacy foremost in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we gather when Users access BrainPOP's technology and services, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it. Data collection BrainPOP UK products do not automatically collect any personally identifying information. Our software products do not have the ability automatically to collect or monitor personally-identifiable information nor can they deliver software or computer code to Users’ machines. Therefore BrainPOP UK cannot serve as a delivery platform for Spyware, Adware or malicious programs of any kind. BrainPOP UK collects limited usage information in connection with User logins and passwords in order to assess simultaneous use with respect to subscription limits. This information is kept strictly confidential and is never shared internally with non-essential staff and is never shared or sold to third-parties. As part of our subscription and registration process, Users are asked voluntarily to submit limited personal information in order to create an account (typically name, age, email address, phone number, payment information and unique password). BrainPOP UK will use that information only to provide the service and will never sell or license the information to third parties. When we ask for information in connection with services for which Users register, we will always inform them about the types of information we collect and how we use it. Where payment is processed via credit card, credit card numbers are not retained on our database. Further, BrainPOP UK will never sell or market directly to minors and will always seek parental or teacher consent whenever a child attempts to purchase a BrainPOP UK product or provide personally-identifiable information to the company. Site Security Practices Security The security of Users’ personal information is important to us. When a User enters sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). To learn more about SSL, follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer. We follow generally and commercially_accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use generally commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Information Sharing BrainPOP's technology products do not have the ability to collect or monitor a User’s name, physical address, email address, phone number or other sensitive and private information such as passwords, credit card numbers or the like, whether or not they’re stored on User machines. If BrainPOP UK asks a User to register for an account in connection with our services, BrainPOP UK will request that he or she provide the essential information needed to set up service and communicate with the User – at their option – about improvements or enhancements to the service. BrainPOP UK will use that information only to provide the service and under no circumstances will we sell or license the information to third parties. Special Offers, Updates and Newsletters If a User wishes to subscribe to our newsletter(s), BrainPOP UK will use his or her name and email address to send the newsletter. Out of respect for privacy, we provide a simple way to unsubscribe. Service-Related Announcements BrainPOP UK will send Users strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send an informational email. Legal BrainPOP UK reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information should it be required by law and, in the rare case, when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. Changes to This Policy BrainPOP UK constantly strives to provide the best products and services. As new products are released and changes to existing products are made, BrainPOP UK reserves the right to amend this BrainPOP UKPrivacy Policy at any time. We expect most changes to be minor, but there may sometimes be changes that are more significant. We will always post any changes to our privacy policy on this page.
