HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your personal information for a variety of purposes, including, without limitation, to:

- create, target, or measure advertisements;

We use personal information to promote security, investigate violations of our agreements (including this Policy) and/or attempts to harm our users and visitors, and verify proper conduct using the Site or Social Media Accounts and/or our Services. We may also use personal information for investigations or prevention of fraud or network abuse.
Third parties may use non-personal information in order to display advertising that reflects the interests and preferences of our user community.
The GDPR requires data collectors, such as TeachHUB, to have a legal basis to use the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, this section shall apply to any such personal data collected by TeachHUB. TeachHUB uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality products, content and services as you request, to send important notices, and for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide you with the information you need to make the most informed decisions. We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content or services that may be of interest to you, based upon your interests or the preferences you shared with us, and may share your personal data with third party sponsors of content, events, and other services or offers. The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain circumstances we may otherwise process your personal data if TeachHUB has a legitimate interest in doing so and TeachHUB is not infringing any of your rights and freedoms. When TeachHUB processes your personal data for TeachHUB’s legitimate interests, TeachHUB will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not override your interests. TeachHUB will not use your personal data in circumstances where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.
WHEN WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
De-identified Information Sharing. We may share information that is de-identified or in an aggregated form that does not directly identify you.
Third Party and Social Media Plug-in Sharing. Third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Site or Social Media Accounts. For example, we may enable social network plug-ins, whereby those social media providers embed content and tools on the Site (i.e., plug-ins), which may collect personal information directly from you in connection with your interaction with such content and tools. Such providers’ use of the information is subject to their own privacy policies, which we recommend you review. We are not responsible for such providers’ privacy practices, which are not covered by this Policy.
Affiliated Third Party, Successor, or Assignee Sharing. We may share any of the information we collect with affiliated companies under common ownership or control, such as companies that are part of the TeachHUB family of companies, and any successors and assignees of TeachHUB. We share information with our affiliates so that they may provide you with information regarding Services that may be of use to you, and for any other use set forth in this Policy. If we choose to share information we collect in this fashion, we will require our affiliates to honor this Policy.
Unaffiliated Third Party Sharing. We do not sell, license, rent or otherwise provide your personal information to unaffiliated third parties except as follows:
- with your consent, which may be obtained in writing, online through “click-through” agreements, orally on the phone, or implicitly, for example, when you request more information to be sent to your home or business address, you implicitly consented to our disclosure of your name and address to a third party courier to complete delivery;
- to our third-party vendors and partners who complete transactions or perform services on our behalf (for example, credit/debit card processing, development, fraud protection, billing, shipping, customer service, auditing and marketing);
- to verify the information received from you in connection with your TeachHUB account, membership, or other services;
- pursuant to a change in your business structure, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, corporate reorganization, financing or sale of company assets, or in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership;
- as required by law or other legal process, such as a court order, summons, subpoena, and the like;
- to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies, enforce our rights in connection with our agreements with you, or investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations;
- to exercise or protect our rights or interests, property or safety or that of others;
- to protect users of the Site or Social Media Accounts from fraudulent, abusive or unlawful use and/or to protect the security or integrity of the Site or Social Media Accounts (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats);
- to facilitate or verify the appropriate calculation of taxes, fees, or other obligations due to a local, state, or federal government; or
- in an emergency situation.
If you are an EU resident, TeachHUB will only share your personal data with unaffiliated third parties, with your consent. If TeachHUB shares your personal data to TeachHUB’s affiliates or with any other third party as described in this Policy and your personal data will be transferred to a state which is not a member state of either the EU or the EEA, or deemed adequate by the European Commission, TeachHUB (as a data controller/data exporter) will only conduct such transfer (to a data processor/data importer) if there are suitable safeguards in place, such as binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, approved Codes of Conduct, or approved certification mechanism. For more information, please contact TeachHUB’s Data Protection Officer (see information at the bottom of this Policy).
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We use a variety of physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction while it is under our control. Under our practices and policies, access to sensitive personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access. Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no data security measures are 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, alter, destroy, or disclose personal information. TeachHUB maintains security and incident response plans to handle incidents involving unauthorized access to private information we collect or store. We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for business, accounting, tax or legal purposes. When we dispose of personal information, we use reasonable procedures designed to erase or render it unreadable (for example, shredding documents and wiping electronic media). If you become aware of a security issue, please contact us at the address, email address, or telephone number provided at the bottom of this Policy. We will work with you to address any problems.
YOUR CONTROL OVER PERSONAL INFORMATION
Information Provided to Us. You play an important role in ensuring the security your personal information. We encourage you to use safeguards to protect your information. If you have provided personal information to us and wish to delete, change, or correct, or limit or restrict our use of such personal information, you can:
- ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal information (g., if it is no longer necessary to provide services to you);
- edit some of your personal information through your TeachHUB account, or ask us to change, update, or fix your information in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate;
- ask us to stop using all or some of your personal information (g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your personal information is inaccurate or unlawfully held); and
- ask us for a copy of your personal information.
For any of the above requests, you will need to send us a written request (first class mail, email, or other reliable form of written communication) in accordance with our notice provisions below. We are not required to alter or delete information stored for purposes of backup or disaster recovery (or where such action may not be technologically possible).
If you are an EU resident, under the GDPR, you may, among other things, send TeachHUB a request to (a) confirm that TeachHUB is processing your personal data, or to access, update or correct the personal data ASP holds about you, or to obtain a copy to reuse for your own purposes, (b) erase your personal data, (c) opt-out of marketing communications from TeachHUB or (d) restrict TeachHUB’s processing of your personal data. We kindly ask you to send such concerns (or objection) in written form stating your name, address and phone number, so that we can confirm your identity. If you inform us that you want your personal data erased (if you are an EU resident), or that you no longer wish for us to communicate with you for marketing purposes, or to otherwise restrict TeachHUB’s processing of your personal data, we may retain some basic information in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future, and to keep a record of your request and our response.
No Control over Others. You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online in a public area of the Site or Social Media Accounts, that information may be collected and used by others. We do not control the actions of our visitors and other users of the Site or Social Media Accounts. If you disclose personal information in a publicly accessible place in the Site or Social Media Accounts, you do so at your own risk and you understand that your submitted information may be collected and used by others to send you unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes. The foregoing does not waive TeachHUB’s right to enforce any legal and contractual rights it may have against those who scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Site or Social Media Accounts, including any such restrictions that may be set forth in our other posted terms and policies.
Opt Out. If you register for the Site or Services, from time to time, we may email you with informative messages about the Site, our Services, or third party services we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive these types of emails please let TeachHUB know by sending us written notice in accordance with our notice provisions below. TeachHUB may also provide opt-out information in its marketing communications via an “unsubscribe” link in communication emails, which would unsubscribe you from any further communications from us that are unrelated to one of the Services we are providing or are required to provide to you. Please note that it may take us some time to process your requests, consistent with applicable law. Please note that you do not have the ability to opt-out of non-marketing communications that we send you in connection with the use of the Site or Social Media Accounts, such as when you have engaged in transactions with us.
OTHER INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW
Credit Card Information. For purchases (if applicable), our credit card information will be transmitted to a third party processor and is not retained by us.
Information about Children. We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. The Site and Social Media Accounts are not designed or intended to attract or target children under the age of 13. We do not collect personal information from any person whom we actually know is under the age of 13.
California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code Section 1798 entitles California customers to request information concerning whether a business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. As stated in this Policy, we will not sell or share your personal information with non-affiliated companies for their direct marketing purposes without your consent (and as otherwise set forth in this Policy). California customers who wish to request further information about our compliance with this law or have questions or concerns about our privacy practices and policies may contact us as specified in the contact provide below.
Links to Other Websites or Applications. On or through the Site or Social Media Accounts, we may provide links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those sites, including their privacy policies. Please review their privacy policies and content or information collection practices before using such third party applications or visiting their sites.
Anonymous or De-identified Data. TeachHUB may anonymize and/or de-identify information collected by TeachHUB via the Site or Social Media Accounts or other means so that the information does not identify you. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Policy, TeachHUB’s use and disclosure of aggregated and/or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation for any purpose.
Notice to Non-U.S. Users. Our computer systems are currently based in the United States, so your personal data will be processed by us in the United States where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the EU. If you create an account with the Site as a visitor from outside the United States, by using the Site or Social Media Accounts, you agree to this Policy and you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection of that required in the EU or certain other countries, and to the processing of that information as described in this Policy.
Social Media Accounts. Your use or viewing of the Social Media Accounts, such as social networking pages, blogs, and file sharing sites (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), is subject to this Policy, the TOU, and the terms of use of the applicable social media platform. All comments submitted or posted on the Social Media Accounts are subject to public disclosure. To the extent we collect any personal information about you through the Social Media Accounts, we handle such personal information in accordance with this Policy. For additional terms, conditions, requirements, and restrictions related to your use of, access to, or view of any of the Social Media Accounts, please refer to the TOU.
