simple guidelines:
We will maintain a quality process based on established research principles.
All individual profiles and information will be kept strictly confidential

Statement of Privacy
It's important to Eduquity to help its users retain their
privacy. To ensure that the following six principles would apply:
-
Eduquity will explicitly ask when we need information that personally
identifies you or allows them to contact you ("Personally Identifiable
Information"). Generally this information is requested when registering, when
requesting a particular service, or when entering a contest. When possible,
Eduquity will provide you with the means to make sure that your Personally
Identifiable Information is correct and current.
-
Eduquity and its service partners will use your Personally Identifiable
Information to operate services and to inform you of new features, services,
and products from Eduquity and its affiliates. We may also carefully select
other companies to send you information about their products or services that
are related to the site's service but are not necessary to its operation.
-
If Eduquity intends to use Personally Identifiable Information for a Secondary
Use, the site will provide you with instructions on how to decline this
service. You may also stop the delivery of informational or promotional e-mail
by following the instructions on the e-mail sent to you.
-
The Eduquity site is primarily directed to online users ages 13 and above. For
activities that require users to provide age information in order to
participate, Eduquity will require users who indicate that they are under the
age of 13 to get parental consent prior to using the site, by creating a Young
Eduquitarian Passport account, or the website will attempt to block their
access to the site.
-
Eduquity may disclose Personally Identifiable 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 Eduquity or the
site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Eduquity, the site or
its users, and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of Eduquity, the site or the public.
If at any time you believe that the Eduquity site has not
adhered to these principles, please get in
touch with us and we will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly determine and correct the problem.
In addition to directly providing information to Eduquity, you
might also provide Personally Identifiable Information through chat sessions,
e-mail exchanges or newsgroups made available to you by Eduquity. The Statement
of Privacy does not cover this type of transfer of your Personally Identifiable
Information. You should always be careful when distributing your Personally
Identifiable Information in this manner. And remember that online chat sessions
and newsgroup use is considered public and you are responsible for your actions
in these areas.

Preferences

provided to Eduquity at any time, including whether you want Eduquity to
