Your use of the Site constitutes agreement to applicable laws and the terms and conditions contained on the Site, in this Policy, and in the Terms of Service. This Policy does not cover information collected on other sites linked to the Site.

TEACA reserves the right to change this Policy at any time without notice and by using the Site subsequent to any revision of the Policy; you agree to be bound by such changes. TEACA will post any changes to this Policy on the Site or in any of its platforms. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy and familiarize yourself with the most current version. We will use any information collected in accordance with the privacy policy in effect at the time the information is collected.

 

The Type of Information We Collect

Any personally identifiable information you provide is voluntary. The cases in which we collect personally identifiable information are as follows:

In order to access and use certain services provided through the Site, you must complete the registration form and create a user name and password. During registration you are required to give contact and demographic information (such as a name, email address, age and gender). We use this information to contact you about our services on the site in which you have expressed interest in.

When you subscribe to our service (the "Service") through the Site,  we require that you provide certain personally identifiable information, including your name, address, phone number, credit card number, or account number. This information is necessary to process your subscription enrollment and to contact you thereafter.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use information you supply through the Site to provide you with the service you have requested. For example, if you subscribe to any of our Service, we may use your e-mail address to send you a confirmation notice. Similarly, if you enter an online competition, we will use this information to notify you if you are a winner. We may also use the information to communicate with you about new features, products or services, or to improve the Service that we offer by tailoring them to your needs.

TEACA does not sell our users' e-mail addresses. If you do not wish to receive future commercial communications from us by email, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the email.

Service-related Announcements

We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email.

Customer Service

Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We may also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We may communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your preferences.

Profile

We may store information that we collect through cookies, log files, and/or third party sources to create a "profile" of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information, and your purchasing history, to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the site for you.

Service Providers

We use other third parties to supplement our services, such as credit card processing, technical maintenance, or online recruitment services for the purpose of providing such services on our site. When you sign up for subscription services we will share your information with such services providers for credit card processing and order fulfillment, as necessary. We do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties.

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Site.

Log Files

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on the Site. We link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on the Site.

We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help"; file. We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you do not have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on the Site. We use cookies to control the display of ads, to track usage patterns, to deliver content, and to record registration.

If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by the Site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Links to Other Sites

The Site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by TEACA. Please be aware that we, TEACA, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by the Site.

Access to Personally Identifiable Information

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete or deactivate it by making the change on our member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at studentservices@teaca.net

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on the Site, we ensure that information is encrypted using our own encryption tools or through our third party payment processor. Encryption is done using secure socket layer technology ("SSL").

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on the Site, you can email us at studentservices@teaca.net 

Business Transitions

In the event TEACA goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via email and/or prominent notice on our Site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Changes in this Privacy Statement

TEACA reserves the right, in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to this Privacy Statement at any time to reflect new terms, articles and/or provisions. Notice will be sent to announce an update via email and/or announcement in various TEACA platforms. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of our services after the effectivity of these changes shall signify your acceptance to those changes. Any and all revised terms, articles and/or provisions shall supersede all previous ones.
