The Site may collect certain information

Use of Your Personal Information
The

In support of these uses,
TeacherLingo.com may use personal information to provide you with more
effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related

the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by

We
may use your personal information to provide you with important
information about the product or service that you are using, including
critical updates and notifications. Additionally, with your permission,
we may send you information about other TeacherLingo.com products and

TeacherLingo.com occasionally hires other companies to
provide limited services on our behalf, such as Web site hosting. We
will only provide those companies the personal information they need to
deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality
of the information and are prohibited from using that information for
any other purpose.
TeacherLingo.com may disclose personal
information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law
or comply with legal process served on TeacherLingo.com; (b) protect
and defend the rights or property of TeacherLingo.com and our family of
Web sites; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of TeacherLingo.com employees or agents, users of

without your permission.
Your personal information can be changed and/or removed at any time by logging into the site and updating your profile.
Security of Your Personal Information
TeacherLingo.com
is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help
protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide
on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled
facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal
information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we
protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol.
Cookies
We use cookies
on this Site to ensure the integrity of the registration process and to
personalize the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For
example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a
cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content,
eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the web site, the
information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily
use the site's features that you customized.
You have the
ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or
other web sites you visit.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
We
may occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will
also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy
statement. For material changes to this privacy statement, we will
notify you either by placing a prominent notice on the home page of our
web site or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to
periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how
we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your
continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy
statement and any updates.
