Please regularly review our Privacy Policy. By using our websites, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Websites.
The data Eduspot collects and uses is governed by this Privacy Policy as amended from time to time, not by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of data collection. This includes data collected from our websites, affiliates with links to this Privacy Policy, and services provided by or enabled via these sites.

If, as the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which we can use your personal information, you can do so by following the procedure described in the section entitled “Privacy Rights”.
You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy after such notice has been posted with the following exception: If at the time you provide personal information to Eduspot you limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by Eduspot or by third parties, Eduspot will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent.
If Eduspot sells assets, is acquired by or merged with another entity (or a division or subsidiary of), you agree that Eduspot may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold without obtaining your further consent. Eduspot will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on our websites.
Eduspot websites and services are not designed for use by children under the age of 16. As such, our websites are not directed at children under the age of 16, nor do we knowingly collect or maintain information from children under the age of 16 on the websites.
Eduspot is the sole owner of the information collected on our websites. We have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us via email, phone, surveys, forms or other direct contact from you.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about our services, new products, changes to this privacy policy or to provide you with information or educational newsletters.
If submitting any personal information about others, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to do so and that you have obtained the required consent to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
If applicable law allows you to supply the information without authorisation, you represent and warrant that you have abided by that law and that it allows us to receive and disclose the information under this Privacy Policy without any further action on our part. You agree to compensate, defend and hold harmless Eduspot, our parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, sponsors, and supporting artists, licensors and suppliers for any failure by you to comply with this paragraph.
“Personal Information” as used in this Privacy Policy, is information that we directly associate with a specific person or entity, such as name, address, payment information, telephone number/s, and email address. Please note that any payment information we collect is not stored by us.
The Personal Information you provide will vary based on the context, and we will not collect your Personal Information unless you make it available. You are not required to provide Personal Information at any time while visiting our websites, however, you may be required to provide Personal Information to use certain Services.
You may provide us with Personal Information by participating in online surveys, subscribing to newsletters and other recurring offerings via our websites, and in connection with other products, services, features, or requests made available through our websites.
Eduspot collects the business information necessary to enable us to respond to your requests for our products and services and to send you information regarding our products and services from time to time. Since most of the users of our products and websites are doing so in their capacity as employees, schools or companies, the most business information we collect will be in that capacity (rather than information about you individually). For these purposes, we have defined “business information” as any information that identifies or may identify a school, company or an individual contact at a company or that allows others to contact a school, company or an individual contact at a company.
When you visit our websites, you may be asked to submit information such as e-mail address, company name, address, phone number, your product and/or areas of interest. We may also ask you where you heard about our company or products, or for other information that will help us understand more about your needs or help us process your requests for information.
We offer telephone and Email support services. If you access our support team, you may be asked for information such as organisation name, your name, contact number, contact email address, product name, and other information to help us determine what the queries are and how best to help you resolve them.
All support, sale or general enquiry calls and emails are recorded for training purposes, helping us to improve our services and products or to help resolve a query.
Eduspot collects certain additional information in connection with your use of our products and services with online features. For instance:
Information (including personal and business information) that you submit, post or otherwise reveal in a public forum (such as comments to a blog or product discussion forum) is not subject to this Privacy Policy, will be seen by third parties not related to Eduspot and may be used by them or Eduspot to contact you for any purpose.
To access information (blogs, demos of our products, marketing materials etc.) on the websites or by email, a user may be required to register with Eduspot. During registration, a user is required to give certain information (such as name, email address, job title). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest.
We request information from you when you purchase a product. To buy from us, you must provide contact information and on occasion specific financial information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your sale. If we have trouble processing a sale, we will use this information to contact you.
Eduspot may place “cookies” on the browser of your computer. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies may enhance the convenience and use of the website. For example, the information provided through cookies may be used to recognise you as a previous user of the website (so you do not have to enter your personal information every time), offer personalised information for your use, and otherwise, facilitate your experience using the website.
You may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of the website.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this function so that your browser will not accept cookies. Please be aware that disabling this function may impact your use and enjoyment of this Website.
We utilise usage tracking cookies, such as Google Analytics and to offer surveys to our customers for us to better understand how our websites are used and to help us improve our services.
This data does not include personal information other than the IP address of your device. We may link an IP address to information that is personally identifiable.
This website collects data for the purposes of running online remarketing campaigns on website visitors. By agreeing to this privacy policy, you are giving permission to serve ads based on your browsing history on this website.
Third-party vendors, such as Google, show our ads on websites across the internet.
Data is collected using Cookies. Cookies are used to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to a website.
The type of data collected and used for remarketing includes items such as the URL and referrer URL for the website that triggers a tag hit, the custom parameters used in your tracking tag and any resulting remarketing list memberships.
Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy, as well as Google’s policies.
Information about how visitors disable Google’s cookies can be found by clicking here.
Currently, various browsers — including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. We do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Company’s websites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent.
We take privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
To be able to offer the best possible service, we take advantage of the best possible sub processors and technologies available, we undertake our own in depth Data Protection Assessment for each Sub-Processor we work with. A full list of our sub-processors can be found here.
We take precautions to protect and secure your information both online and offline when you submit sensitive information via the websites. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store.
Please be aware that no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so whilst we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorised access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur.
