ScholasticScout, Inc. is committed to protecting consumer privacy online. We believe that greater protection of personal privacy on the web will not only protect consumers, but also increase consumer confidence and ultimately their participation in online activities. At ScholasticScout, we intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information.

The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information.

Our site may contain links to other web sites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other sites to which we provide links from our sites. You should check the applicable privacy policy of the web site sponsor when linking to other web sites.

• Information Which We Collect

We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number, credit card number (only if you choose to purchase a product online), for purposes such as correspondence or making a purchase. If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet that we or our business partners may need -- to correspond with you, process an order or provide you with a subscription, for example -- it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.

Like many other commercial sites, our site may utilize a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a web site recognize a user's browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture your e-mail address. Our web site may use cookies to enhance your visit. Cookies can securely store a user's password, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections, such as school games or events watched. Our cookies may collect your domain name and track your selections through our web pages. We use "cookies" only to gather the information indicated in this policy; we will not use cookies to gather personal identifying information about you without your consent.

• Use of User Information

We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior. This allows us to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our web site for content development purposes. Any information we collect is used for purely internal purposes to improve the content of the web site, to enhance users' experiences when visiting our site, to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the services required by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying information for any reason that is not disclosed either in this Policy or at the time the information is requested. We never send e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or consent to being contacted by e-mail.

• Disclosure to Third Parties

We do not share personal identifying information with any third party without your permission. We may disclose in aggregate form our statistical analyses or demographics of users to third parties, such as advertisers or other business partners.

• Accuracy of User Information

In order to ensure the accuracy of personal information provided for registration, you may return to the registration form online in order to change information you have provided at any time. Questions regarding our privacy policy, the accuracy of your personal information or the use of the information collected should be directed via e-mail to our business manager, or you can reach us by telephone at 301-920-2035.

• Effective Date

These privacy policies are effective as of April 20, 2005. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time, and will post any changes to this policy as soon as they go into effect.

• Security of Information

We use our best efforts to ensure the security of personal information submitted by users. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured-server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When we collect other information from our users, it is stored in an area where the general public does not have access to it.

• Opt Out Policy

  At any time while assessing our site, any user while online may opt out of further e-mail contact from us (while still allowing access to our site). For further information about opting out, contact us at the e-mail address, postal address or telephone number stated above.

• Use of Materials

The right to download and store or output the materials in our site is granted for the user's personal use only, and materials may not be reproduced in any edited form. Any other reproduction, transmission, performance, display or editing of these materials by any means mechanical or electronic without the express written permission of ScholasticScout, Inc. is strictly prohibited.
