I. GENERAL INFORMATION
I Know It and its affiliates TPW Inc., TPW Websites LLC, and Super Teacher Worksheets (collectively "IKI") has created this Privacy Notice to apply to all users and clients of this website, and all mobile applications and digital assets offered by us (collectively, our "Services").
This Privacy Notice describes the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning your Personal Information (defined below).
Except as otherwise prescribed by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the English language version and local language version of this Privacy Notice, the English Language version will prevail.
II. CONSENT
This Privacy Notice is integrated into our Terms & Conditions of Use ("Terms & Conditions"). By using our Services and providing us with Personal Information, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Notice and to the updates posted here from time to time. If you withdraw consent, you agree that despite withdrawal, IKI may continue to use your Personal Information previously provided to use to the extent that we are legally or contractually obligated to do so and to the extent necessary to enforce any contractual obligations you may have to us. You also understand that by withdrawing your consent, we may no longer be able to provide you with Services previously available with consent.
If you consented to receiving email communications from IKI, you will continue to do so unless you unsubscribe. You may choose to opt out or unsubscribe from receiving future marketing email messages from us. Each marketing email sent from us contains a link with instructions on how to remove yourself from our email list.
III. TYPES OF ACCOUNTS
IKI offers an interactive math platform for elementary students as part of the Services. The Services may be used by schools and related entities, organizations, and administrators that sign up to use the Services, including teachers who access the Services on the school's behalf (each a "School") or by parents. We currently offer the following types of accounts on our Services: School District Accounts (which are only for educational institutions), Teacher Accounts, and Family Accounts.
School District Accounts are accounts for an entire school or school district. A school district account will have School Administrator Accounts, who work in conjunction with the IKI team to set up these accounts before setting up specific accounts to meet the needs of the school or school district.
Individual classroom teachers set up and administer Teacher Accounts and assign the usernames and passwords to students within the Teacher's classroom, by creating Family Accounts for students and their parents or guardians to use. Each of these accounts will have a separate username and password, and each student and his or her parent(s)/guardian(s) will use the same username and password.
A Family Account is an account for a parent or guardian to administer for their child or children. Parent(s) or/guardian(s) set up and administer the accounts when not under the umbrella of a Teacher Account. The parent or guardian and student then share the same username and password.
Through the course of providing the Services to a School through a School/District or Teacher Account, we may have access to Student Data that is provided by the School, by the parent or guardian, or by the student. Student Data means personally identifiable information as that term is defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g) and its implementing regulations (34 CFR Part 99). We have access to Student Data only as requested by the School. The type of Student Data we collect will depend on how the School uses the Services. In some instances, the Schools may allow students to log into the Services. In that instance, the School provides each student with login credentials and confirms that it has obtained appropriate parental consents, as needed, before the student is permitted to access the Services. We consider Student Data to be confidential and do not use such data for any purpose other than to provide the services on the School's behalf. Our collection, use, and disclosure of Student Data is governed by our Terms of Service, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), and applicable state laws which relate to the collection of Student Data. If you are a student or parent, please contact your School if you have questions about the School's use of technology service providers like IKI.
IV. INFORMATION COLLECTION
In this Privacy Notice, when we use the term "Personal Information," and except where a different definition is noted, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked to a consumer, directly or indirectly, as defined under applicable laws and regulations. Personal Information does not include information that is not covered by applicable privacy laws, including that which cannot be reasonably linked to a consumer (e.g., de-identified or aggregated data) or publicly available information.
We may collect the following types of Personal Information about you which are described in more detail below:

We may also collect Personal Information to perform our Services, including tax records, public filings, and other information available from third-party websites.
The Personal Information we collect is covered by this Privacy Notice, and the information the third-party website or Social Media Platform collects is subject to the third-party website or the platform’s privacy practices.

VIII. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
IKI may occasionally provide links to sites operated by outside parties ("third-party websites") that we believe may be of interest to you. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith. We do not disclose your Personal Information to these third-party websites without obtaining your consent. In addition, from our Services you may be able to interact with Social Media Platforms, for example, by "liking" us on Facebook. If you choose to click on a link to one of these third-party websites or choose to interact with or through Social Media Platforms, your activities are not governed by this Privacy Notice and will be governed by the Privacy Notice on that third-party website or Social Media Platform. This Privacy Notice only applies to Personal Information collected by us. Please review their privacy notices and terms of service before disclosing any Personal Information to determine their respective privacy practices. IKI does not review, does not endorse, and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites and Social Media Platforms.
We may also maintain a page on Facebook or other Social Media Platforms. Those pages and your interaction with them are governed by the privacy notices of Facebook or other relevant Social Media Platforms, and not our Privacy Notice. As with other third-party websites, we do not endorse and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these forums, although we may have a presence on them.
IX. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
IKI employs commercially reasonable measures as it relates to physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect your Personal Information. However, you should assume that no data transmitted over the Internet or stored or maintained by us or our third-party service providers can be 100% secure. Therefore, although we believe the measures implemented by us reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved, we do not promise or guarantee, nor should you expect, that your information or private communications will always remain private or secure. We do not guarantee that your Personal Information will not be misused by third parties. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features. You agree that we will not have any liability for misuse, access, acquisition, deletion, or disclosure of your Personal Information.

You can update your Personal Information at any time by logging into and visiting your user account page.
If you believe that your Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized person, promptly Contact Us at helpdesk@iknowit.com so that necessary measures can quickly be taken.
X. CHILDREN
IKI uses reasonable efforts not to collect, use or disclose the Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen (13). In the event we wish to collect Information from a child, we will first seek a parent or guardian's consent. With regard to School-based activities, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") allows teachers and School administrators to act in the stead of parents to provide consent for the collection of Personal Information from children. Where a School is using our Services, we rely on the School to provide appropriate notice to parents of the School's use of third-party service providers such as IKI, and for the School to provide consent, if necessary, and authorization for us to collect children's Personal Information as permitted by COPPA.
Accounts on the Services may only be created by Schools and families. We do not permit children under the age of thirteen (13) to create an account. We may collect a persistent identifier (e.g., an IP address or cookie) from a child while the child is using the Services.
Some of our Services, such as educational quizzes and educational games, may seek Information necessary for a child to participate, including a parent's email address to communicate with the parent (as required by applicable law). We use and disclose children's Information only in accordance with this Notice. The Services do not enable a child to make his or her Information publicly available.
A parent or legal guardian can at any time review, request deletion of, or withdraw their consent to our further collection or use of Personal Information collected from their child by Contact Us at helpdesk@iknowit.com. Please note that we may request proof of identity and relationship to the child before doing so.
XI. DATA RETENTION AND DISPOSAL
IKI will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to provide you with our Services. IKI will also retain and use your Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including any applicable rules on statute of limitations, any relevant litigation, or regulatory investigations, to enable us to defend or bring potential legal claims, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and in accordance with our routine recordkeeping that considers the duration of your use of our Services. We are under no obligation to store Personal Information indefinitely. We disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the disposal of your Personal Information.
XII. DATA STORAGE AND TRANSFERS
We operate in the United States. Your Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in any country where we have offices or in which we engage service providers or licensed independent contractors. These countries may be outside the United States and may have different data protection laws than in the United States. IKI may subcontract the processing of your Personal Information to, or otherwise share your data with, other members within the TPW family of affiliate companies, trusted service providers, and trusted business partners located in countries other than your country of residence, in accordance with applicable law. Such third parties may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of Services to you, the processing of transactions and/or the provision of support services. By providing us with your Personal Information, you acknowledge any such transfer, storage or use.
If we transfer your Personal Information to third parties as stated in this Privacy Notice that are located outside the U.S., we will apply appropriate safeguards to protect your Personal Information and comply with applicable laws. If you have questions about how we transfer your Personal Information, please Contact Us.
