Privacy Policy Notice

AwesomeMath, LLC (“AwesomeMath”) understands that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting www.awesomemath.org (the “Website”), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

Privacy of Children

AM provides additional privacy protections when children visit the Website. We do not knowingly collect, maintain or store personal information from or about children under the age of 13 without a parent’s and/or legal guardian’s consent, except in limited circumstances authorized by law and described in this notice. If you are under the age of 18, please read this privacy policy with a parent or legal guardian. If you are under the age of 13, AM must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent before collecting any personal information.

Information collected from children consists of student roster data including name, home mailing address, age, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, birthdate, class in which to enroll, grade level, essay type information regarding math experience and extra-curricular activities, and your child may participate in virtual classes and/or forums online utilizing platforms such as ZOOM (Zoom Video Communications, Inc.), Google Classroom™, Microsoft Team™ or the like, none of which AM owns or operates. You may
access those platform’s respective privacy policies by visiting their websites and/or at the following links:

  • https://zoom.us/privacy
  • https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=US&hl=en
  • https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.

This information, which may be shared with teachers, instructors and/or teaching assistants who are independent contractors of AM (collectively, “Instructors”), as well as officers and employees of AM administering AM’s classes (“Administrators”), is used to help students participate in AM classes, ask questions of Instructors, create student dashboards on AM’s Website, deliver homework, notify students and their parents and/or guardians of information and opportunities supportive of the educational mission and objectives of AM. We do not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the foregoing activities. We do not disclose information collected from children to unaffiliated third parties; however, the IP address from which your child accesses the Website, online class or forum may be recorded for safety and security reasons.

Parents and/or legal guardians may review personal information we have collected about their child, request deletion or refuse to allow further collection or use of the information. To do so, please contact admin@awesomemath.org, or mail us at AwesomeMath, ATTN: Admin, PO Box 261490, Plano, TX 75026.

What Personal Information Does AwesomeMath Gather?

The information we learn from students and parent/guardians helps us improve your experience with AwesomeMath. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as student roster data including name, home mailing address, age, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, birthdate, class in which to enroll, grade level, essay type information regarding math experience and extra-curricular activities, and communicating with students, parents/guardians, instructors, teachers, and teaching assistants.

E-mail Communications:

We may retain email communications with you for our records.

What About Cookies?

Like many websites, AwesomeMath uses “Cookies” which are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device so we are able to provide you information such as access to class pages, student dashboards, and the like.

The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of www.awesomemath.org’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you may not be able to access student dashboards, or use services that require you to Sign in.

What Third Party Services do we use and what are their privacy practices and protections/options?

We may use platforms such as ZOOM (Zoom Video Communications, Inc.), Google Classroom™, Microsoft Team™ or the like, none of which AwesomeMath owns or operates, and which platforms may use cookies and other technologies to collect data on user’s behavior and their devices (in particular device’s IP address, browser information, geographic location, preferred language used to display our website). We will never use this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user. For further details, please see the privacy policies of ZOOM (Zoom Video Communications, Inc.), Google Classroom™, and Microsoft Team™. You may access those platform’s respective privacy policies by visiting their websites and/or at the following links:

  • https://zoom.us/privacy
  • https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=US&hl=en
  • https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement

For security purposes, AwesomeMath collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses which give AwesomeMath a sense of the country, state, or city in the world its users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”).

Does AwesomeMath Share the Information It Receives?

AwesomeMath is not in the business of selling information to others. We share information only as described below:

Third-Party Service Providers:

We use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples may include processing credit card payments, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers:

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that AwesomeMath or substantially all of its assets are acquired, information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of AwesomeMath and Others:

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with
the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or
safety of AwesomeMath, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include
selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from students and
parent/guardians for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent:

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties,
and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your credit card and payment information during transactions by using Paypal. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt financial/payment information you input, but the scope of this protection may not fully protect all non-financial information. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?

AwesomeMath gives you access to information about your profile and your interactions with AwesomeMath for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such AwesomeMath features. When you update information, we may keep a copy of the prior version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please follow the instructions provided on those emails for making us aware of that decision (If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of AwesomeMath’ website, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

If you choose to visit www.awesomemath.org, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, resolution of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Texas. If you have any concern about privacy at AwesomeMath, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes regularly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your profile. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of student and parent/guardian information collected in the past without the consent of affected students and parent/guardians.
