Our Privacy Policy

 

Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. By visiting the Bored Teachers website and any other linked pages, features, content, or any other services we offer, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways. Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to them in Bored Teachers Terms of Service.

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using the Site or Services (collectively, the “System”). This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage. This policy also does not apply to information you choose to disclose publicly on the System.

 

Personal Information Bored Teachers Collects

We receive and store any information you provide to us. The types of Personal Information collected may include your real name, username, email address, IP address, location, browser information, browsing history, transactions, and any other information necessary for us to provide our services. If you make a purchase through the Site, we collect additional information necessary to complete your purchase, such as billing address, shipping address, payment information (through our third-party payment services), and other information you provide to us to complete your purchase (“Order Information”). If you provide any third-party account credentials to us, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts (“Third Party Account Information”) may be transmitted into your account with us if you authorize such transmissions, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Site is covered by this Privacy Policy. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.

 

Personal Information Bored Teachers Collects via the System

Whenever you interact with the System, we receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, “cookie” information, and the page you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your device through our web interface that allow certain functions to perform as designed within the System, and also to allow us to recognize your device and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. We may also record the referring page or service that linked you to us; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software, and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on the System; and other usage activity and data logged by our servers. You may be able to change the preferences on your device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of the System’s best features. When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the System), we only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate data tells us how often users use parts of the System, so that we can make the System appealing to as many users as possible. We may also provide this aggregate information to our partners, so that they can understand how often people use their services and our System, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. We never disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.

 

Communications

As part of the System, you may receive communications from us, whether by email or other means. We and our agents may send you email, contact you, or engage you in other communication that we or they determine relate directly or indirectly to your use of the System.

 

Affiliated Businesses and Third-Parties

In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites with which we are affiliated may sell items or provide services to you through the Site (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. One such service may include the ability for you to choose to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your Site profile or to automatically transmit information in your Site profile to your third-party account. We have no control over the policies and practices of any third-party.

 

Access to Information

We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information necessary to complete a purchase on the Site or that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Bored Teachers, our employees, our users, or others. This includes sharing or exchanging information with agents, website vendors or services (including services such as Shopify, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Google DoubleClick For Publishers, JW Player, etc.). This also includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information.  You may also be able to opt-out of Google Analytics.

 

Personal Information Security

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-in protections via that third-party site or service. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-in mechanism appropriately. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. In the event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development in accordance with relevant law. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, we may do so by email. Using the System, you may find links to third-party websites or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites or apps. When linking to another site or app, you should read the site or app’s privacy policy. User profile information, including without limitation your name, email address, and other information (“User Submissions”) may be displayed to other users if you chose to enter such information on your user profile. Again, any content you voluntarily disclose for other users to view on the System is not Personal Information; it becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others and may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels.

 

Accessible Personal Information

Through your user profile, you may access and, in some cases, edit or delete the following information you have provided to us. This list may change as the System changes: Real name, location, username, password, email address, and other account and user profile information. The information you can view, update, and delete through your user profile may change as the System changes. If you have any questions about viewing, updating, or removing information we have on file about you, please contact us at info@boredteachers.com.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above.  Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to the United States and Canada.

 

Other Information

You can always opt not to disclose information, but keep in mind that some information may be needed to register with us or to take advantage of some of our special features. You may be able to add, update, or delete certain information as explained above. When you do so, however, we may be required to maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. You may close your account pursuant to the terms of service or subscription agreement that applies to you. Please note that some information may remain in our private records after the closing of your account. If you do not wish to receive email or other mail from us, please email us at info@boredteachers.com. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the System, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.

 

Do Not Track

Please note that we do not alter the Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

 

Data Retention

When you place an order through the Site or register an account, we will maintain your Order Information or Personal Information, as the case may be, for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our System or sending you an email. You are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when you use the System after such changes have been first posted.

 

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly use the Site to solicit data from or market to children under the age of eighteen, and especially not to children of less than thirteen years old. We formally request that any under-age person not send us any Personal Information. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at info@boredteachers.com. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.
