Privacy

Carone Learning is committed to respecting the privacy of users who access our website. This privacy policy will tell you what information is collected when you visit our site or send us an email, and how that information is used.

Web Server Logs

When you visit the site, our web server may record the following information in its server log:

• your IP address
• the URLs you have requested to access
• the dates and methods of requests
• the status code of your requests
• URLs of pages that referred you to the site
• number of bytes transferred
• your web browser and operating system platform

Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis, during which time their contents are accessible to site administrators. Unless required by legal process, we do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that user sessions will be tracked by IP address, but a user’s identity will remain anonymous.

In addition, we ordinarily do not disclose to third parties site usage by individual IP addresses, but we may do so in very limited circumstances when complying with law or legal process, working with consultants assisting us with fixing or improving the site, or monitoring and improving the security of our network.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics software to perform site usage analytics. Google Analytics collects anonymous information from users to help us track site usage and referrals from other websites. These data are used primarily to optimize the website experience for our visitors, but we may use the data as well to assist us in developing marketing plans for the site.

Information collected and processed by Google Analytics includes the user’s IP address, network location, and geographic location. Google Analytics acquires all its information directly from the user by installing a cookie (see below) on the user’s computer. The site does not share any information it collects with Google, and Google Analytics does not collect any personally identifying information such as names, contact information, social security numbers or financial information. Accordingly, we cannot use any information acquired by Google Analytics to contact you directly.

Cookies

Cookies are unique bits of computer data that many major websites will transfer to your computer the first time that you visit. Cookies are stored on your hard drive and may be later accessed by the website to track prior usage. As noted above, Google Analytics will install a cookie on the hard drives of site visitors. In addition, this site uses WordPress software to process authentication for registered users.

Email

We will only record your email address if you send us a message or use our sign up form. We will only use your email address for the purpose for which you have provided it — i.e., to respond to a message from you or to communicate with you. Accepting emailed announcements is entirely optional and not a condition of using our site, and you may change your email settings at any time to subscribe or “unsubscribe” to these mailings.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We will not sell, lend, or disclose to third parties any information collected from visitors, except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy or in the event we are required by law to do so. We may disclose information to employees, consultants and agents who have a legitimate need to know the information for the purpose of fixing or improving the site and monitoring and improving the security of our network. We also reserve the right to disclose this information when special circumstances call for it, such as when disclosure is required by law or court order or when disclosure is, in our sole discretion, necessary to protect our legal rights, including intellectual property rights.

Other Websites

This site may contain links to other web resources, including websites of organizations other than Carone Learning and third-party vendors that conduct sales transactions on behalf of Carone Learning. The websites of our advertisers, vendors, and other websites to which the site links may also collect user-identifying information directly from you once you proceed to browse those sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of our advertisers, sponsors, vendors or other sites or businesses to which we provide hyperlinks or access. Please visit the relevant sites to review their privacy policies.

Data Security

We have in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot completely guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

Notification of Changes in the Privacy Policy

We will review our security measures and Privacy Policy on a periodic basis, and we may modify our policies as appropriate. We may also change or update our Privacy Policy if we add new services or features. If any changes are made, we will make appropriate amendments to this policy and post them at the site. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy on a regular basis.

Effective Date

This Privacy Policy is in effect as of October 28, 2015.
