Privacy Policy

All4Ed’s Commitment to Privacy

All4Ed is a national education policy, practice, and advocacy nonprofit organization. All4Ed values and respects the privacy of all visitors to www.all4ed.org and all other websites All4Ed maintains, including www.images.all4ed.org, www.GraduationEffect.org, www.DeeperLearning4All.org, www.DigitalLearningDay.org, and www.FutureReady.org (“Site(s)”). All4Ed only collects personal information from visitors that is necessary to provide the information and resources sought by visitors to the Site(s). This policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) explains All4Ed’s approach to the privacy of information that personally identifies each visitor (“the User”).

User Consent

Please read this Policy carefully. By using All4Ed’s Site(s), the User consents to the use and collection of personally identifying information in the manner described in this Policy. If the User does not agree to all the information contained in this Policy, the User should not use the Site(s) or other All4Ed resources.

Changes to All4Ed’s Privacy Policy

Please check this Policy periodically for changes. All4Ed reserves the right to amend, update, remove, or revise its Privacy Policy at any time. If any changes are unacceptable to the User, the User may cease access to or use of the Site(s). If the User continues to access or use the Site(s) after changes are posted to the Privacy Policy, the User will be deemed to have accepted the changes. Information gathered now will be used in accordance with All4Ed’s Privacy Policy in effect at the time of use. All4Ed expressly rejects any terms and conditions proposed by the User that are in addition to or conflict with the Privacy Policy.

All4Ed will make every effort to avoid drastic changes to this Policy unless necessary. However, to better serve its mission, All4Ed is continuously improving the way it operates. Therefore, it may be necessary for All4Ed to update or revise this Privacy Policy. If All4Ed makes material changes to this Policy with respect to how the User’s personal information is used or shared, All4Ed will first notify the User and give the User an opportunity to indicate consent to the new use or sharing of the User’s personally identifying information. All4Ed expressly rejects any terms and conditions proposed by the User that are in addition to or conflict with any changes to the Privacy Policy.

Information About the User

All4Ed collects, stores, and uses personal information the User voluntarily provides to All4Ed, including name, mailing address, and email address, to (1) communicate with the User; (2) help the User communicate with their elected or nonelected government representatives; (3) provide the User with relevant information and resources; and (4) improve All4Ed’s Site(s) and its services to the User.

If the User voluntarily submits personal information for inclusion on All4Ed’s e-list, it will collect the User’s demographic information and the User will receive All4Ed’s newsletter, as well as future communications about All4Ed activities, services, or initiatives that it believes will be of interest to the User. All4Ed will do its best to respect the User’s time and attention. If the User has voluntarily provided identifying information to All4Ed, it may also collect usage information when the User visits All4Ed’s Site(s). All4Ed may also obtain information about the User from other sources and add it to the information already collected from the User. All information collected from the User’s use of All4Ed’s Site(s) or about the User from another source will be maintained and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Why Certain Information Is Collected

All4Ed collects information to provide high-quality services and resources to better fulfill its mission and assist its users, including customizing users’ individual needs.

Sharing Personal Information

All4Ed will not sell, rent, or disclose the User’s email address or other personal information to any mass providers under any circumstance, or to a third party except an organization affiliated (“Affiliate”) with All4Ed, or to a third party All4Ed is partnering with on a specific project and under the condition that the User specifically authorizes the additional disclosure. Any initial communication from an Affiliate will provide the opportunity to opt out of obtaining subsequent communications from that organization.

When special projects may include sharing the User’s personal information with third parties, such as when All4Ed partners with another organization, it shall also be noted in the sign-up notification that the project may include sharing the User’s information and will provide an opt-in or opt-out mechanism.

Security

All4Ed realizes that the User may be concerned about the security of his/her personal information. Although All4Ed uses reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information, no data transmission over the internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. Therefore, All4Ed cannot guarantee the security of information the User transmits to All4Ed, and the User does so at his/her own risk. Electronic transmission of information and data is not necessarily secure against interception. Please be advised that the User should not send All4Ed or other entity information that contains personally identifying information unless it is required for a specific purpose. All4Ed will never request social security numbers, personally identifying numbers, health information, or other similar types of personal information. Additionally, All4Ed will never request banking or financial information with the limited exception of credit card information for individuals wishing to donate to All4Ed via the donate page.
