Our Policy:

Welcome to the web site (the “Site”) of IEAO (“IEAO”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”). This Site is operated by IEAO and has been created to provide information about IEAO and our online services providing one-on one- foreign language tutoring and related services (together with the Site, the “Services”) to our Service visitors (“you”, “your”). For the purposes of these Terms of Service, “you” means a parent or guardian of the student who accesses or uses the Services. This Privacy Policy sets forth IEAO’s policy with respect to information including personally identifiable data about you or the student (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected from visitors to the Site and Services.

Information We Collect:

When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below:

Personal Data That You Provide Through the Services: We collect Personal Data from you about you or the student when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, register for access to the Services or use certain Services. Wherever IEAO collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy. We note, your student may provide certain information or Personal Data through Session Recordings (as defined in our Terms of Use). We will use any such information provided therein in accordance with this Privacy Policy, however we encourage you to supervise and monitor all sessions and content being shared by your student in connection with the Services. Your student should never share any information he, she or you as the parent or guardian may be uncomfortable sharing.

By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that if you are providing Personal Data about a student minor using the Services, you have all rights necessary to do so. If you provide Personal Data to the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of IEAO and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.

Other Information:

Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with IEAO through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. IEAO may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by IEAO affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.

In operating the Services, we may use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Services gives to your browser when you access the Services. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service features.

We also may use local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, to display content based upon what you view on our site to personalize your visit. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies.

Aggregated Personal Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, IEAO often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and IEAO may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. IEAO may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information:

IEAO uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. We may also use Personal Data to allow you to book and pay for tutoring sessions, catalog information about the student’s progress, send you reminders or alerts about upcoming sessions or to notify and thank an individual or school that referred you to the Service that you have signed up. IEAO and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Services to help us improve the content and functionality of the Services, to better understand our users and to improve the Services. IEAO and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you.
