Third Party Services:

We may provide Clients with access to a variety of features which Clients may choose to make available to their students. These features, some of which are operated by third party providers, are available only to students in grades 6-12, and may be turned on or off at the sole discretion and control of Clients.

We may also provide Clients of students in grades 6-12 with the opportunity to purchase additional third party features. These include, but are not limited to, features that allow students to explore learning styles, explore college and career pathways, notifications and communications with students and parents, and connect with postsecondary institutions around the globe that may be of interest.

If Clients choose to make these features available to their students, a limited amount of information, including personal information, may need to be sent to the third party in order to deliver the service to the Client and their students. We do not disclose more information to third parties than is necessary for them to provide features on behalf of the Company.

All third parties have agreed to handle the information in compliance with this Privacy Policy. They may use the information for the sole purpose of providing the service to Clients and their students.

We are not responsible for data once it has been submitted to a postsecondary institution. In addition, Clients and students should be aware that if they choose to connect with a postsecondary institution in another country, their data will be subject to the laws of that country.

We also provide Clients with links to third party websites and allow Clients to add links to websites that they may then share with their students in all grades. We do not control, and therefore are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. Those websites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage Clients and students to read them.

How Clients Can Modify Information:

Clients may update or change their institution’s information by contacting us, or in some cases, may update their records through the relevant areas of our products. We also provide Clients with a dashboard that allows them to access, modify and delete student and parent information, as may be required by law or otherwise deemed necessary from time to time. At their discretion, Clients may also provide students and parents with the ability to access select information.

Since our products are used at the direction of the Client, parents and eligible students must work directly with their school to access or modify their information or manage permissions.

Security:

We are committed to protecting the security, integrity and confidentiality of the data through the use of physical and technical safeguards. We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and server authentication technology to protect data when we are accessed using a supported web browser.   Data is encrypted at rest and in transit and the passwords are hashed using strong encryption technology.

We host Client data in secure server and cloud-based environments that use a firewall and other industry-standard technology in an effort to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. We also require unique account identifiers, user names, and passwords that must be entered each time Clients, students or parents sign on to our products. The Internet, however, is not perfectly secure and we is not responsible for security breaches not reasonably within our control.

We require that Clients maintain the confidentiality of their user names and passwords. If Clients become aware of any unauthorized use of an account, loss of their or their students’ or parents’ account credentials or suspect a security breach, notify us immediately at admin@gotranseo.com .

Data Retention:

As a system of record for our Clients, we retain data at the sole discretion of Clients, and for as long as they have active agreements for us. We are FERPA compliant. After termination of an agreement, we will retain Client data for a limited time period for the convenience of the Client, so that it may retain continuity of its experience should it choose to reengage with us. At the end of the data retention period, we securely delete and destroy personal information from Clients.

However, at any time upon termination of an agreement or otherwise at their discretion, Clients may submit a written request to have their personal information provided to us deleted. We will comply with such written requests within (30) days.

Subject to prior agreement, Clients may choose to retain their data from users in lower grades for our products for higher grades. The data will always remain under the direct control of the Client and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Note that in the event that a user chooses to submit data to a postsecondary institution, we are unable to delete or otherwise retract that information from the receiving institution.

Notwithstanding the above, we do retain aggregated, de-identified data for the purposes described in the section titled, “How We Use and Disclose Information.”

We send emails to Clients with information about our products that we believe may be of interest. Clients may opt out of receiving email messages from us by contacting us at admin@gotranseo.com  or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link found at the bottom of every email that we send.

If Clients have opted out of receiving communications from us, we may still send essential communications regarding the Company to Clients’ or students’ accounts, such as password change messages, notifications and reminders for tasks and events, and communication with sponsors or business partners.

We do not send email messages on behalf of third parties.

We allow Clients to send messages to parents and students through our products. Parents and students should contact their school or district if they would like to discuss opting out of those messages.
