General Guidelines for Information Collection and Use

SchoolTube collects and compiles statistical information about all visitors to our web site, even if they haven't registered. The information used to compile statistics is passed from a visitor's computer to our server each time a page is requested. This statistical information is logged and provides long-term usage data and trends that help SchoolTube allocate resources and better meet demands during peak usage. This information is not linked to the end user and is not considered personal information.

The information collected includes:

  1. The type and version of your Operating System and Web Browser
  2. Your computer's IP address
  3. The date and time of your visit
  4. What page you visited
  5. What page you came from

When you register with SchoolTube, you are no longer anonymous. Your registration information is used to deliver SchoolTube education and outreach program material and to help SchoolTube develop future program material. Certain statistical information gathered from our subscribers is used to generate reports for governmental agencies. We must report this information because SchoolTube receives Grant money from the U.S. government. SchoolTube does not identify you by name in these reports; it only reports information in the aggregate.

SchoolTube often collects information from people who attend SchoolTube activities or events or who our staff members meet during the course of their duties. If we believe these people may be interested in the SchoolTube program material, we elect to subscribe them. If so, we notify them via e-mail and ask whether or not they want this material.

SchoolTube will not ask a child or young person under the age of 13 for more information than is reasonable in order to provide that student with the appropriate Internet Safety information on Youth Empowerment which SchoolTube offers.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Other than the following instances, SchoolTube does not rent, sell or share personal information about you with any other person(s) or organization(s):

  • SchoolTube may share your information with outsourced service providers in order to provide the materials you requested. For example, to fill an order for training materials, your name, address, and phone number may be provided to a third-party order filling agency so they can ship you the materials.
  • When the law requires SchoolTube to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, SchoolTube provides the information needed to obey the law. SchoolTube also may provide information in order to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.SchoolTube believes it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
  • SchoolTube may also share your information with Partner organizations and associations. Because SchoolTube is in no way responsible for the actions of their Partners, SchoolTube can not be held liable for their Partners’ use (or misuse) of personal information.

SchoolTube makes every reasonable effort to ensure the security of the data it collects. However, SchoolTube cannot warrant against the disclosure of this information in the event of a security breach or other event beyond our control.
