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.

Similarly, if you publicly post information on a third-party platform, such as a social media site that references KTB or one of the Services, your post may be published on our Services in accordance with that third party's terms. These features may collect your IP address or other unique identifier and which page you are visiting on our website and may also set a cookie to enable the third-party feature to function properly. When you use a third-party feature through the Services, the third party may also have access to information about you and your use of our Services. Your interactions with third-party links and features are governed by the privacy policies of the third parties.

The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including: whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party website and service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature (in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature), but we may retain the information previously collected in compliance with all applicable laws.

Information We Collect Automatically

Usage Information: Like other websites and online services, we and our analytics providers, vendors and other third-party service providers may automatically collect certain "Usage Information" whenever you access and use the Services. Usage Information may include: the browser and operating system you are using, the URL that referred you to our Services (if applicable), the search terms you entered into a search engine that lead you to our Services (if applicable), all of the areas within our Services that you visit, the time of day you used the Services, and other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including to select appropriate content to display to you and to enhance or otherwise improve the Services and our products.

In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for any computer, mobile phone or other device (any, a "Device") you may use to access the Services. A Device Identifier is a number automatically assigned to the Device used to access a Service, and our servers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we treat it as Personal Information.

Cookies: Like many other websites and apps, we use "cookies" (a small file sent to your computer by a website or device to allow the website or app to store information which uniquely identifies you) or other similar software to collect data in order to assist our users and provide them with a more personal experience visits in our Website or apps. For example, cookies help our systems recognize you if you return to our Services shortly after exiting them. You can always disable cookies at your browser or device's settings, but please note that if you do so, some (or all) of the features and functionality of our Services may not be available to you. For more information about the type of cookies we track please visit our Cookies Notice.

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 that 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/.

Data mining or scanning of user content for the purpose of advertising or marketing to children or their parents is prohibited.

What happens if I access KTB 's services through a mobile device?

If you use the Services through a mobile device, you agree that KTB may store and use certain information for security purposes (for example, for user verification or authentication).

Children's Information

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

KTB does not knowingly permit children under 13 (and a higher age if required by the applicable law in another country) to use our Services without prior, express consent from a parent or legal guardian, except as permitted under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA"). If we learn that Personal Information of a child under 13 has been collected on our Services without prior parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or legal guardian ("Parent") and discover that your child under the age of 13 (or a higher age if required by applicable law) has a registered account with our Services without your consent, please contact KTB to request that we delete that child's personal information from our systems.

What Children's Information is Visible to Others?

No child's information is made available or visible to the public through KTB. Parents may view their children's information at any time by logging into their account. A child's teachers at Knowing the Bible may see that child's information.

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.

How can I opt-out of sharing, providing, or receiving certain information?

Providing Personal Information: You can always decline to share personal information with us, or even block all cookies. However, it's important to remember that many of KTB 's features may not be accessible, or may not function properly (for example, we may not be able to remember your language preferences for you) without this functionality.

E-mail Communication: You can opt-out of receiving further communications by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any e-mail from us. KTB may continue to send you Service-related e-mails as we believe necessary to provide the Services but will never knowingly e-mail children.

How can I access and manage my Personal Information?

You may be able to review the information you provided to us on a Service and make any desired changes to the information, or to the settings for your account on that Service, by logging in to your account for that Service and editing or deleting the information. Note that certain accounts may have limitations regarding the ability to delete information. Even after information is deleted, we may maintain it in backup or archive form unless (i) you request permanent deletion or (ii) the account is terminated.

What communications will I receive from KTB and how do I limit them?

KTB may post notices on the homepage of our website and/or may send users information by e-mail. You may choose to stop receiving certain e-mails from KTB by using the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the KTB e-mail. However, we reserve the right to send you information on our behalf and on behalf of third parties in connection with providing the Services. If you no longer want to receive information from us, you will need to close your account for that Service.

When you provide us with your telephone number, such as in a web form to request additional information or when you create an account with us, you consent to be contacted by SMS text message. Prior to sending SMS messages to your child as part of our Services, we will seek your explicit consent. SMS messaging to your child will be used solely for education purposes. No phone information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. You will be offered an opportunity to opt out of those communications.

How long does KTB keep my information?

Upon termination of your account, you may request KTB delete any Personal Information, excluding information relating to messages you sent to active users. You understand and agree that KTB may continue to have Personal Information in archive files or similar databases. You further agree that KTB has no obligation to delete aggregated or de-identified information. KTB may retain and use aggregated and de-identified information for any purpose consistent with laws and regulations.

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.

Users outside the United States:

Consent to Transfer: the Services are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Services, or providing us with any information, you fully understand and consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.

File a Complaint: If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.

Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to continue providing the Services to active users you sent information to and for the purposes of 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.

Notice of Changes to This Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. You can see when it was last updated by looking at the new effective date at the top of this page.

If we make any significant changes, we'll post them prominently on our website 30 days prior to their effective date. Your continued use of the Services after a revision to the Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance and agreement to the current Privacy Policy. We recommend that you periodically review the Privacy Policy to make sure you understand and are up to date on how we are keeping your information safe.
