​

User registration information, including profile pictures; APPLICABLE ONLY TO TEACHERS AND PARENT ACCOUNTS and any information that Enable Education collects that is intended to improve and personalize your service experience. 

​

b. Non-Personally Identifiable Information 

Personal information does not include information that is aggregated or anonymized in such a manner that it cannot be connected to a User. This may include participation rates aggregated among many Users. Such information by itself or  together cannot be tracked to a specific individual’s personally identifiable information. 

How do we use Personal Information? 

Enable Education collects Personal Information for the following purposes: 

to provide Services to you and Users; 

to establish and maintain responsible commercial relations and to communicate with you in order to provide service. This includes, but  is not limited to, communications relating to billing, advertising, promotion and account verification; 

to respond to any correspondence, you may direct to us; to  

understand, research, and improve our Services;

to meet any regulatory requirements; 

and for any other reasonable purposes for which you may have provided your express consent or in which your consent can be reasonably  implied.

How do we use Non-Personally Identifiable Information? 

In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of our Services and improve our Service and user functionality, we conduct research on our customer and User demographics and behavior based on Personal Information and other information that we have collected. This research can be used to provide our customers with statistics and metrics that may be of interest to them (for example statistical data related to programs). This research will be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis and this aggregate does not  

identify any individual and therefore is considered and treated as Non-Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Policy. 

​

Consent 

We respect your privacy and, unless otherwise required by law, we will not collect, use or disclose your Personal Information without  your prior consent. Your consent may be expressed or implied. You may expressly give your consent in writing, verbally or through any electronic means. In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied by your actions. 

Where appropriate, Enable Education will generally seek consent for the use or disclosure of the information at the time of collection. In  certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when Enable Education wants to use information for a purpose other than those identified above). In obtaining consent, Enable  Education will use reasonable efforts to ensure that a customer is advised of the identified purposes for which Personal Information collected  will be used or disclosed. 

The form of consent sought by Enable Education may vary, depending upon the circumstances and type of information disclosed. In  determining the appropriate form of consent, Enable Education shall take into account the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the  reasonable expectations of our customers and Users. Enable Education will seek express consent when the information is likely to be  considered sensitive. Implied consent will generally be appropriate where the information is less sensitive. 

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, however, withdrawing consent may  result in our inability to provide you with the Services and accordingly losing access to the Site. In order to withdraw consent, you must provide  notice to Enable Education in writing. 

​

Security Policy 

Unless required by law, or in connection with a business transaction, Enable Education shall not use or disclose or transfer Personal  Information for any purpose other than those described above without first identifying and documenting the new purpose and obtaining your  consent, where such consent may not reasonably be implied. 

As noted above, Enable Education does not disclose your Personal Information to third parties. Notwithstanding, your Personal Information may  be transferred to Littératout to assist it in providing customer service and user support. 

Subject to the foregoing, only Enable Education’s and Littératout employees with a business need to know, or whose duties reasonably so  require, are granted access to Personal Information about our Users. All such employees will be required as a condition of employment to  contractually respect the confidentiality of your Personal Information. 

Enable Education will retain Personal Information for only as long as required to fulfill the identified purposes or as required by law. Personal  Information that is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes will be destroyed, erased or made anonymous according to the  guidelines and procedures established by Enable Education.

​

Enable Education maintains an event logging system that records user actions on the platform for security purposes. This practice allows us to identify, understand, and appropriately respond to any unusual or suspicious behavior, as well as potential security breaches. Event logs may include information such as the date and time of actions, details of the performed action, and user identifiers. All data is collected and stored in accordance with our privacy policy and is solely used to ensure the security of our users and maintain the integrity of our services.

​

While we are committed to implementing best practices for information and data security, we cannot guarantee absolute security due to the constantly evolving technologies of viruses and hacking, as well as other unpredictable risk factors such as hardware or software failures.

 

Consequently, Enable Education cannot be held responsible for any data loss or alteration. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify users via email once it is discovered.

 

Enable Education is dedicated to maintaining the platform security through regular updates. We continuously make improvements and apply fixes (also known as "patches") to ensure effectiveness, optimal performance, and security of our systems. These updates may include changes to enhance security, fix bugs, or improve features. Enable Education reserves the right to perform these updates without prior notice, while ensuring they do not interfere with the user experience and always adhere to our privacy policy.

​

In the event that a data breach has been identified involving confidential information and personally identifiable information:

The offending access pathway is disabled. Unauthorized AWS account access is handled through AWS CloudTrail. We would be able to disable access and remedy any damage through that logging.
Unauthorized access over SSH would be handled by removing the compromised SSH key from any relevant servers + restoring the server to a known uncompromised state. 
We will proceed on the basis that early notification is preferred to later notification:
1- INCIDENT ASSESSMENT
Immediately, conduct a prompt incident assessment to determine the risks to the users or the affected parties.
2- NOTIFICATION PLAN
In the event that confidential information or personally identifiable information have been affected by the breach, a notification plan will be deployed:
Notify affected users and other parties who require notice based on legal, professional or contractual obligations.
-The notification will include:
the fact that a privacy breach has occurred,
the elements of personal information involved in the breach,
steps taken to mitigate the risks and next steps,
steps for users on what to do to mitigate the risks.
3-INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION
- Ensure that the breach containment has been met.
- An internal investigation will be conducted regarding the incident and review of the circumstances surrounding the breach.
- Address the data breach causes and set up a plan to remediate them.
- Review the adequacy of existing policies and procedures in protecting confidential information and make appropriate changes.
