August 15, 2024

We know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy and the privacy of students seriously. We’ve updated our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) so that it more accurately describes our practices. Let us know if you have any questions.

Imagine Learning LLC (“Imagine Learning”, “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of students, parents, and educators, while providing students and schools with a dynamic learning and teaching environment made possible by the Internet. This Privacy Policy addresses the privacy practices of Imagine Learning. Imagine Learning’s products and services are intended for ultimate use by parents, teachers and students, but only schools and school districts (together with similar purchase entities, “Local Educational Agencies” or “LEAs”) may sign up for Imagine Learning. This Privacy Policy is applicable to all Imagine Learning products and services available online (the “Services”).

If we intend to use or disclose members’ Personal Information (as defined below) in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection we will send notification by email to those who have shared with us their email addresses.

What is This Policy?

WE FULLY DESCRIBE OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES BELOW IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. THIS SUMMARY PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR USE AND SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION, AND THIRD PARTIES WHO MAY SET COOKIES OR WEB BEACONS OR SIMILAR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES WHEN YOU USE THE SERVICES. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY VERY CAREFULLY. BY USING ANY SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Information Collection/How we use your information: We primarily use the information we collect when you use the Services in connection with your relationship with Imagine Learning, your use of the Services, and for sending you information from us.

Information Sharing: Remember that if you create an account or share Personal Information with other users on the Services, your information may be visible to others. However, student data will only be visible to their administrators, teachers and parents, and students cannot share data with other students. Note that we do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes; however, we may share your Personal Information under certain limited circumstances.

Third party analytics providers: We work with analytics service providers and other vendors to provide us with information regarding traffic on our websites or through our service (collectively referred to as “Sites”), including the pages viewed and the actions users take when visiting the Sites and to provide us with information regarding the use of the Sites.

How Are Accounts Created?

Users must create an Imagine Learning account to access certain portions of our site. The use of the Imagine Learning website is contingent on our processing of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. By creating an account and/or using the website, you are consenting to such practices. If you do not consent to our processing of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our website.

When LEAs purchase licenses, Imagine Learning creates an organization in the product and grants administrative access to that organization through a primary account. The LEA then enrolls students and teachers/administrators into schools and classrooms and creates accounts on their behalf. When the LEA creates student accounts, they are acting on behalf of parents to give Imagine Learning permission to collect the information described in this Privacy Policy, and Imagine Learning is acting as a service provider to the LEA.

When the primary account belongs to a LEA, student accounts will be populated in coordination with that LEA. Students will then be provided login information in a manner specific to that district and in accordance with LEA policy, which may in some cases be through a LEA-wide “single sign-on” or by communicating an initial login and password to the student.

Some Services may also allow a LEA to create a parent account tied to a student account if so desired.

Consent by LEAs, Teachers, and Parents

If you are a student of any age, you must get permission from your LEA or LEA-authorized representative to use the Services.

Imagine Learning Services are not offered directly to students on any basis, and LEAs must first sign up for primary accounts, and then invite students, teachers, and parents to use Imagine Learning through the accounts they create. LEAs that have obtained licenses must provide consent on behalf of students for Imagine Learning to collect and use student data described in this Privacy Policy and opt to allow for student account creation.

What Information Does Imagine Learning Collect About Students, Teachers, and Parents?

Information shared with us: We may collect “Personal Information” (which is information that can reasonably be used, alone or in combination with other reasonably available information, to identify or contact a specific individual). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, student data, metadata, and user content. The information that we collect from logged-in users includes information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use your account and information that is automatically collected when you are logged into the Imagine Learning platform. The information collected depends on whether you are a teacher, LEA, parent, or student and may vary slightly from product to product. Below is a list of information collected across all our Services.

    • Single sign-on ID (for schools that use a single sign-on functionality)
    • Demographic information (such as date of birth, gender, ethnicity/race, language).

Information collected from our marketing website: Independent of our Services used by students and teachers, we have websites limited to those browsing our marketing content. Our marketing websites collect some data, such as name and contact information, via online forms and some data via cookies and other social media trackers used on marketing pages. When you provide us with your telephone number, such as in a web form to request additional information, you consent to be contacted by SMS text message. No phone information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Information received from third parties: Third parties may provide us with information about you. For example, if you are on a third-party website, and opt-in to receive information from us, that third party will forward information to us so that we may contact you as requested. Any personal information received from these third parties will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our agreements with these parties. We sometimes combine information we receive from third parties with the personal information we collect through the Services. Any such combined information will be treated as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect automatically: In every case we also log certain detailed technical information about all users’ interactions with our Services that could be linked with users (including students). This includes the IP addresses that we get when users connect to our Services, information that is sent by web browsers automatically when they connect to our Services (such as the type of web browser, the operating system used and the time zone set on the user’s computer), and the timing and frequency of how users interact with different content and different areas of our Sites.

We use following methods and tools to collect and track the automatically collected information described above:

  • Cookies: Like many other websites and apps, we set cookies so that we may recognize when someone connecting to our Sites is currently logged in or has visited before. A cookie is a data file sent to a browser from a web server and stored on the user’s computer’s hard drive that allows us to recognize that browser when the user returns to our Sites. To learn more about browser cookies, including how to manage or delete them, look in the Tools, Help or similar section of your browser, or visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • How we respond to Do Not Track signals: Please note that your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites and online service you visit. DNT is a privacy preference users can set in certain web browsers to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the internet industry is still working to determine what DNT means, how to comply with DNT, and how to create a common approach to responding to DNT. To find out more about “Do Not Track”, please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Like most online services, when you use the Services, we automatically collect and store details of how you used our service, such as your activity on the Services, and the frequency and duration of your visits.

By using our Services you agree to our use of these information collection technologies.

De-identified and Aggregate Data

We frequently aggregate information in a way that is designed to make it impracticable to use that data to identify a particular person. We also sometimes maintain individual data records with personal identifiers removed in a manner that is impracticable to relink it to any specific individual. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to such data as “De-Identified Data” and do not consider it to be Personal Information. We do not attempt to re-identify information that has been de-identified.

What Student Information Can Other Users See?

When the primary account belongs to a LEA, the account administrator designated by the LEA can access all information we collect about students that we make available through our websites and online services. LEA-designated administrators can delegate the right to view student information in accordance with LEA policy. Each teacher within that LEA can see only information relating to students’ participation in classes taught by that teacher (unless granted additional access by the LEA account administrator).

Some Services may allow a LEA to create a parent account tied to a student account if so desired. Parents may view student information only for the student accounts to which they’ve been linked.

What Does Imagine Learning Do With Personal Information?

We will not share Personal Information we collect in any way not described by this Privacy Policy. Except as noted below, we do not share any Personal Information with third parties for advertising, marketing, or other purposes. There is no third-party advertising on Imagine Learning. We do not amass student profiles except in the furtherance of school purposes. We do not ask or require students to provide information beyond that which is reasonably necessary to provide the Services. Except in limited instances to provide support services under an agreement, we do not share any student login information with any third party, and we do not automatically collect Personal Information from student accounts. Information collected from students is never used or disclosed for any third-party advertising or any kind of behaviorally targeted advertising. We do not market to or survey students; however, students may choose to provide ratings and other feedback about their experience with learning activities. LEA staff may be invited to provide feedback about their experiences, but participation is never required. Students are occasionally asked to provide feedback on their enjoyment level of various aspects of the Services.

We do collect website usage information through third-party analytics services and anonymized data to help us improve our experiences for students, but such information does not contain Personal Information. We also collect website usage information through third-party analytics services for non-student users to support product support and development.

We use Personal Information and any other information collected through the website for the following reasons:

  • to administer the Services;
  • to improve the quality and types of services that we deliver;
  • to analyze usage of the Services and the popularity and performance of our Sites;
  • to communicate with parents, teachers and LEAs by responding to your requests, comments and questions;
  • to track and assess student development and progress;
  • to generate reports that allow parents, teachers, and other authorized persons to evaluate student progress, identify students who need intervention, and discover students who can be taught together as a group;
  • to diagnose technical problems;
  • to email parents, teachers, and other authorized persons regarding service, technical and other administrative matters. These communications may also include information regarding changes in services, new service offerings and important service-related notices, such as security and fraud notices. Such communications will only be delivered to parents, teachers and LEAs and will never be delivered to student users;
  • to send users alerts to notify them about pertinent activity on our Services, such as messages from colleagues or upcoming assignments (“Notification Alerts”). These Notification Alerts may be sent to all users of our Services, including students;
  • to provide useful analyses to users and primary account owners;
  • to conduct research and analytics to improve our Services and value to you, and to perform research for authorized persons;
  • to protect Imagine Learning and our users, such as conducting audits or notifying LEAs of inappropriate or potentially harmful behavior;
  • to assist students who request online help from our state-certified, security-cleared teachers who are employed by Imagine Learning to provide individualized instruction;
  • to monitor students over audio or video during an assessment (i.e., online proctoring), when authorized by the LEA;
  • for safety and security reasons against malicious or illegal activities;
  • for other educational purposes requested and sanctioned by an authorized representative of the LEA;
  • for billing, account management, and other administrative matters;
  • to comply with a judicial order, subpoena or other legal request; or
  • as required by applicable law or regulation.

Third Parties

How We Share Information

We use third-party service providers to provide a variety of services, such as assisting us with providing customer support, hosting our Services, providing us with analytics about how people use our Services, assisting us with marketing our Services to LEA administrators and teachers, sending and tracking responses to email, providing a framework for the delivery of assessment tools and analytics, storing data, providing single sign-on services (where applicable), and helping us identify and track bugs and errors in our Services. Student analytics data are anonymous, but teacher analytics data include teacher name and email address. Third parties we work with are contractually prohibited from using any Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services we request from them.

We will not sell Personal Information to anyone for monetary compensation. However, we do share Personal Information that could be considered a ‘sale’ under the California Consumer Privacy Act such as in connection with the sale of Imagine Learning’s equity or assets or a merger of Imagine Learning with another company. Any sale or merger would be conditioned so that such information will continue to be covered by the then-applicable Privacy Policy or a policy at least as robust as such Privacy Policy.

When a LEA is the primary account holder, we share information with third parties at the direction of the LEA, and it is the LEA’s responsibility to make such requests in a manner that is consistent with their internal policies and the law. We may also share information that we collect in the following (or comparable) circumstances:

  • if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to disclose the information under any applicable law or regulation (for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena);
  • if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person;
  • to investigate and act upon potential violations of the law or of our terms of service;
  • to provide information to a claimed owner of intellectual property who claims that content you have provided infringes on their rights;
  • in response to bankruptcy proceedings;
  • with teachers (and parents where necessary) so they can see information about their students or children, such as the student’s or child’s name, school affiliation and activity on assignments (including time of activity and any responses to questions, extending to grades for those assignments);
  • when any user logs into Imagine Learning with a third-party account (such as a ClassLink, Clever, Google or other Learning Management System account), that third party will learn that that user has visited Imagine Learning, and that information will be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and practices;
  • with third-party products specifically configured by LEAs to interoperate with Imagine Learning;
  • if the information is De-Identified Data;
  • with our corporate affiliates, parents, and/or subsidiaries; or
  • in other circumstances that you expressly consent to.

When logged into our Services, users may choose to interact with Google APIs to submit assignments to our learning management system. For example, users may log into their Google Drive account to select files they wish to upload to the Services as work products. As another example, LEAs may choose to integrate our Services with Google Classroom, linking students from our Services to their corresponding account in Google Classroom. If configured by the LEA, this can make it easier for students to login to the Services (i.e., Single Sign-On) without entering another username and password. This may also allow scores and grades from our Services to be automatically passed back to Google Classroom, making it easier for teachers to create and assign work, manage scores, and streamline reporting. Imagine Learning’ use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

If there are changes to this Privacy Policy in the future, LEAs, teachers, and parents may agree to those changes through continued use of the Services or choose to stop using Imagine Learning and we will delete their information and the information about their students.

Artificial Intelligence

Imagine Learning is committed to responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) within our Services. We take the following steps to protect Personal Information with regards to AI:

  • De-Identification: Where appropriate, Personal Information is de-identified before it is shared with AI services;
  • Data Minimization: When Personal Information cannot be de-identified, only the minimum amount of data is shared and only for uses described in this policy;
  • Authorized Third Party Service Providers: Personal Information is only shared with authorized third-party service providers with data protection agreements that contain strong privacy and security requirements;
  • AI Training: We don’t use your Personal Information to train AI, however we may use aggregated or de-identified data to improve AI services.

Examples of how AI may be used in our Services include:

  • Assisting an educator with developing instructional content personalized for specific classroom needs
  • Analyzing student writing for common mistakes to assist and provide customized feedback to teachers and/or students
  • Summarizing and identifying trends in student performance and growth indicators to help educators know where to focus their instruction
  • Identifying potential academic integrity issues and alerting an educator
  • Providing tutor-like chat support for a student struggling with a concept
  • Chat bot customer support for teachers using our Services
Third Party Content, Links to Other Sites, and Imagine Learning Content Found Outside the Site

Certain content provided through the Services may be hosted and served by third parties. In addition, our Services includes some links to third party sites or content over which Imagine Learning has no control and which are governed by the privacy policies and business practices of those third parties. We are not responsible for the data collection practices on those other sites. We advise you to carefully review those sites’ privacy policies before submitting Personal Information there.

Please also note that Imagine Learning content may be included on web pages and websites that are not associated with us and over which we have no control. These third parties may independently collect data. Imagine Learning is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices or business practices of any third party.

Access through a Mobile Device

If you use our Services through a mobile device or one of our mobile applications, you agree that Imagine Learning may store and use that information for security purposes (for example, for user verification or authentication and to ensure that our APIs are being used appropriately.)

Students may have the option to log in with a QR code from their teacher. Scanning the QR code requires use of camera. All the processing happens through the LEA. No video is transmitted or stored on our servers. Students may be able to record themselves use the device’s microphone during certain educational activities. These recordings are processed and stored on our servers. Permission is obtained prior to access to the device’s camera or microphone.

Children’s Information

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to Imagine Learning. For that reason, we created certain features designed to help protect Personal Information relating to children who are less than 13 years of age (or higher age if required by applicable law) (“Child Users”).

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that all online service providers, including Imagine Learning, obtain parental consent before knowingly collecting personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Imagine Learning does not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, and instead relies upon information provided to Imagine Learning by the account holder. Children under the age of 13 are prohibited from using the Services or creating an account unless they are doing so with parental consent or with the consent of an account holder who is providing such consent in compliance with COPPA. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person under the age of 13 that does not comply with COPPA, we will delete that information in a reasonably prudent amount of time. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personally identifiable information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us at privacy@imaginelearning.com.

How does a child register and use the Services?

Child Users cannot obtain a user account without it being created by a teacher or other LEA-authorized representative.

What children’s information is visible to others?

No student’s profile is made available or visible to the public through Imagine Learning. If a teacher utilizes certain features on a device in the classroom, other students may be able to view information that is displayed by the teacher in the classroom, but students can’t view each other’s individual student profiles.

Parents: To review your child’s user data you must request the information from your child’s teacher. Some Services may allow a LEA to create a parent account tied to their respective students. In such cases, a parent may access their child’s information through the parent account.

Our Security Practices

We strive to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the Personal Information we collect from children and adults. We have put in place physical, electronic, and administrative procedures designed to safeguard and to help prevent unauthorized access to and maintain the security of personally identifiable information collected through our Services.

All accounts are protected by passwords. Please keep these passwords secret to prevent unauthorized access to these accounts. If you think someone has gained unauthorized access to an account please change your password and contact us immediately.

We take customary and reasonable measures designed to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of Personal Information collected on our Services, both during transmission and within our systems. Such protections include, but are not limited to:

  • Data encryption and storage: Data is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest. Personal Information is stored and processed within the continental United States.
  • Access: Access to Personal Information is restricted to a limited number of Imagine Learning employees who need such access to perform their job.
  • Data Systems Monitoring: We employ several third-party services that continuously monitor and scan our Services for vulnerabilities. Employees dedicated to operating the Services monitor these reports and receive automated alerts when performance falls outside of prescribed norms.
  • Incident Response Plan: Imagine Learning maintains an incident response plan.
  • Firewalls: Anti-virus software and firewalls are installed and configured to prevent malicious or unauthorized traffic.
  • Security audits: Imagine Learning conducts security audits and code reviews, both by external and internal providers.
  • Employee training: Imagine Learning has designated privacy and data security officials to oversee employee security training and compliance.
Data Breach or Security Incident

While we have taken customary and reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information we collect, no system is 100% fail-proof and secure.

In the event that Imagine Learning becomes aware of a data breach impacting your Personal Information, we will provide notification in compliance with all applicable laws and our contracts with LEAs. For example, we may post a notice on our landing page or elsewhere on our Services and may send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

Imagine Learning has procedures in place that are designed to stop threats that may expose Personal Information, restore the Sites to full functionality, and document and take proactive steps to ensure the incident cannot be repeated. Imagine Learning will also preserve necessary evidence for investigation by security professionals and law enforcement as appropriate. In the unlikely event of an unauthorized disclosure of records, Imagine Learning will follow its internal procedures, that articulate how to report the problem to internal and external stakeholders. The notification process includes any information that can identify which customers and students may have been impacted, the data that may have been accessed, Imagine Learning’s process to inform affected customers, and steps to prevent the incident from happening again as appropriate.

In the unlikely event of an unauthorized disclosure of Data, Imagine Learning has implemented a process for responding to incidents and notifying affected individuals and, if applicable, law enforcement personnel.

If you have any questions about security on our Services, you can email us by clicking here or emailing privacy@imaginelearning.com directly.

Your Choices Related to Your Privacy

In order to process your information, we rely on your consent or our legitimate interests to process your data. You may withdraw your consent or object to the use of our information at any time, but you may no longer be able to access our Services.

Communications from Imagine Learning

Imagine Learning may send you information by email or may post notices on the Imagine Learning homepage (https://imaginelearning.com).

You may choose to stop receiving certain emails from Imagine Learning by using the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the Imagine Learning email. You may still receive transactional emails from us related to forgotten passwords, account expiration, or other necessary communication. However, we reserve the right to send you information on our behalf and on behalf of third parties in connection with providing our Services. If you no longer want to receive information from us, you will need to close your account.

How You Can Delete or Correct Student Information or an Account

When LEAs create accounts for students, teachers, and parents, the LEA remains the sole owner of the educational data. All requests to review, delete or correct student or teacher information should be directed to the LEA. If we receive a request to delete or correct a user’s data from a student, parent, or guardian, we will route such request to the LEA and will assist the LEA as needed to respond to authorized requests within a reasonable time frame and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

If a LEA requests deletion of data under the control of the LEA, we will promptly delete it, subject to any legal requirement to retain or transfer that data. Note that even following such deletion requests we may store secure backups until they are deleted in accordance with our document retention policy. We may also preserve information as part of an investigation into violations of the law or our terms of use.

Please note that any information you share with others on the website or content other users may have copied is not a part of your account and may not be deleted when you delete your account. If we share your data with one of our service providers, we will use our best efforts to cause such third party to delete such data when you delete your account.

How We Retain and Delete Your Data

Upon termination of your account, Imagine Learning will take commercially reasonable steps to delete any Personal Information from its live databases in a reasonable amount of time. We will retain Personal Information collected in connection with an account only for as long as is necessary to provide the services to the account holder, as required by applicable laws or regulations or otherwise per the terms or a contract with a LEA.

Data may be returned to the LEA as directed by the agreement with the LEA. If no specific instructions are included in the agreement, the data will be returned or destroyed upon one of the following (i) after termination of our relationship with a LEA or LEA-authorized person, (ii) when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was provided, (iii) when advised to do so by the LEA, or (iv) as directed by agreement with the LEA. Data are returned in a digital, machine-readable format via a secure means of transmission.

We may further retain information for business practices based on our legitimate interest or legal purposes, such as secure electronic archives that are not readily accessible to users or maintained for disaster recovery and/or information technology backups. We may also maintain De-Identified Data, including usage data, for any purpose that is consistent with laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

Even if your account is closed, information may remain in backup or archive records and we may retain certain data relevant to preventing fraud or future abuse or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable or De-Identified Data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the applicable privacy policy for the Service.

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to continue providing our Services to LEAs you sent information to and for the purposes of archiving and satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
