Collectively, the teachers, school, and district administration are referred to in the document as the School Environment.

There are also other technologies that are similar to cookies, which may store small amount of data on your device ("local storage").

Glave uses the following types of cookies and local storage (collectively called "Cookies" herein);

● Performance and functionality Cookies: These Cookies are not essential, but help us to personalize and enhance your user experience.

Collected information is used for the following purposes:

● To allow the teacher to manage and use the website;

● To allow teachers, students and parents to compare individual student performance against aggregate results from within that student’s school or specific experiential program;

● For software support purposes;

● For marketing purposes (to teachers and schools only).

Glave does not share personally identifiable information outside the School Environment, except for those purposes stated within this document, without first obtaining the express written consent of the individual.

By default, students cannot see website events for other students in their class from within their account. The teacher and student both need to allow the information to be visible to other students.

Parents who login to the website are not granted access to personally identifiable information of any student other than their child.

Collected information in aggregate form, whereby individual users are not identifiable, is used for the following purposes:

● For statistical purposes;

● For strategic development and business management;

● For marketing purposes related to Glave; and

● For customer support purposes.

12.4 Glave User Access Privileges

Students are granted access to their personal data, their website data, all content posted associated with a project membership in Glave.

Parents are granted access to data related to their child.

The public is granted access to any Glave Story, the account of public logs associated with a student's project membership. This feature can be disabled from the landing page of a student's membership.

12.5 Student Records

Student records are the property of and under the control of the school and/or school district. Students can access their student records by logging in to their student account. Parents of students under the age of 18 can access their child’s information via the parent account, by logging in using their child’s account, or by contacting the teacher. Corrections of any erroneous information should first be brought to the attention of the teacher or the school administration.

Third parties are not granted access to personally identifiable information or educational records or other student records except as provided in this Privacy Policy, or after first obtaining the express written consent of the parent or student over 18 years of age.

Should there be any unauthorized disclosure of a student’s records, Glave will notify the school, teacher, parent and student via email within 3 days following discovery of the unauthorized disclosure.

12.6 No Marketing to Students and Parents

Glave does not share user data with third parties for marketing purposes. Furthermore, Glave does not use student data for marketing of any kind, including both marketing to student and to parents.

12.7 Deletion of Student Records

● Any other student information that may not be used by the student in future years.

12.8 Deletion of Parent and Teacher Records

Parent records will be retained for a period of no more than 36 months following the last entry made to one of their children’s student accounts. This time period has been selected to facilitate streamlined registration for Glave throughout their child’s education.

12.9 Regional Compliance

United States of America

FERPA

FERPA is an acronym for the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, a US federal law to protect the privacy of student educational records. While this act is primarily directed towards educational institutions, Glave’s privacy policy is designed to secure student data in compliance with FERPA and to allow education institutions using Glave to be compliant with FERPA.

COPPA

COPPA is an acronym for the Child Online Privacy Protection Act, a US federal law to protect the privacy of children under the age of 13. Under the licensing agreement between Glave and the teachers using the Glave software, the teachers are responsible for obtaining parental permission should it be required under COPPA. Glave does provide information for teachers along with a sample parental permission document should they require one.

12.10 Security Policy

Glave uses industry standard methods to protect its customer’s data against unauthorized use or access, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction or loss. It should however be noted that 100% guarantee cannot be made due to constant advances in virus and hacking technology. Glave can therefore not be held responsible for data loss or alteration.

12.11 Links and Third Party Integration

Glave websites may contain links to other websites. Glave tries to only link to websites that share Glave’s high standards of decency, fairness and integrity. Glave tries to make sure that these links are safe for everyone, but the privacy and data collection practices on any linked websites are entirely separate from Glave and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Other websites, which may contain material not suitable for children, may also link to Glave websites without Glave’s knowledge or consent. Glave does not necessarily endorse any outside websites and Glave has no responsibility for the content, policies or actions of these websites.

Third Party software may be integrated with Glave (such as Google Cloud Services, including Google Analytics and Google Authentication, Microsoft, Facebook or Twitter) Stripe will be used in order to bill schools. Glave has no responsibility for the content, policies or actions of these websites and they are entirely separate from Glave and are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

12.12 Experiential Program Content

Teachers, mentors, administrators and students may make postings in various sections of Glave. Common examples of this would be links to videos hosted by YouTube or Vimeo, links to Wikipedia or other reference material, and so on. It is the responsibility of the teacher and school administration to ensure that this content is appropriate and free from links to sites which may compromise the privacy of their students. Glave does not monitor the content of students' log entries and has no responsibility for this content. The Glave software has features within it to allow school managers to monitor and control all content posted by the students in their school. Furthermore, students may flag inappropriate comments from within Glave and their teacher will be automatically notified. Glave does not actively monitor school-created content.
