We will also collect payment information (typically, credit card account information) if you choose to purchase products or services through the Services. Any information combined with Personal Information will be treated as Personal Information.<\/p>\n<p>You may have the opportunity to create a public profile that is available to others on the internet (\u201cPublic Profile\u201d), through which you can post or upload information about yourself, which may include a photograph, information about your academic and work history, your interests and activities and other information. Your Public Profile may be indexed by and displayed by internet search providers when someone searches for your name. Ace my grades does not control how frequently third-party search engines update their indexes; consequently their information may be outdated and still available for a period of time even after you discontinue use of the service. If you do not want your information to be viewable by educational institutions or related third parties, you may close your account.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Community Forums, User Content, and Posting Content To Third Party Sites<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Sites may provide you the opportunity to participate and post content publicly in forums, through interactive features and through other communication functionality (&#8220;Community Forums&#8221;). You may choose, through such features or otherwise, to submit or post photographs, videos, questions, comments, suggestions or other content, (collectively, &#8220;User Content&#8221;). Your User Content may also be posted in your Public Profile. You may edit or remove information on your profile. You may contact Ace my grades to remove information that you have posted publicly in forums.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Information Third Parties Provide About You And Social Media Platforms<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Third parties may provide us with information about you. For example, if you are on a third party web site, and you opt-in to receive information from us, that third party will forward information about you to us so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third party application or feature through our Services (such as logging in through Facebook Connect or otherwise linking the Services with another web site or interactive service) or on a third party web site or service (such as one of our Facebook applications or a similar application or feature on a third party web site or service) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including personal information. When you choose to participate, you may be opting to link your activity on our Services with that third party web site or service, which may then collect information about your visits to our Services and may publish that activity as you request to your profile or similar feature with that third party (such as if you choose to share a purchase you made on Ace my grades.com with your connections on the third party web site). 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\u2019s 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 web site 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 addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party web site or service give us access to their profiles and you are one of their \u201cconnections\u201d or information about you is otherwise accessible through your \u201cconnections\u201d web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party web site or interactive service. Ace my grades does not store the information in those circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>We also may supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties in order to provide you with information, services or goods you have requested. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Services. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.<\/p>\n<p>Information Ace my grades Collects Automatically When You Access The Services<\/p>\n<p>Like other websites and online services, we and our analytics providers and other third party service providers may collect certain \u201cUsage Information\u201d whenever you access and use the Services. Usage Information may include the browser and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to our Services, 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, and the time of day, among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including enhancing or otherwise improving the Services and our products and services.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (\u201cDevice Identifier\u201d) for any computer, mobile phone or other device (any, a \u201cDevice\u201d) you may use to access the Services. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access a Service, and our servers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access a Service. 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.<\/p>\n<p>Usage Information is collected via tracking technologies, including:<\/p>\n<p><b>Cookies and Log Files:<\/b> Like most websites, Ace my grades uses cookies and web log files to track usage of our Services. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer, and which allows Ace my grades to recognize you as a user when you return using the same computer and web browser. If your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our Services as fully as intended. Log files are the record of your visits to the Services and include Usage Information. Like the information you enter at registration or in your Public Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience when you use the Services.<\/p>\n<p>One type of cookie we use, known as a \u201cpersistent\u201d cookie, is set once you\u2019ve logged in to your account on the Services. If you do not log out of your account, then the next time you visit, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in before using the Services. Of course, if you are using a public computer or sharing your private computer with others, you should log out of your account after each visit. If you log out of a Service, you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. We also use a cookie which functions as a \u201csession\u201d cookie, meaning that it is used to identify a particular visit. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser.<\/p>\n<p><b>Web Beacons:<\/b> We, as well as our affiliate program partners, third-party tracking utility companies, and service providers employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. web beacons\/web bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us of what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users for our affiliate program. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user\u2019s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. This information is used to help improve the overall quality and experience of our website.<\/p>\n<p>An <b>Embedded Script<\/b> is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device from our server or a third party service provider and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Services.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.<\/p>\n<p><b>MOBILE USE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you use the Services through a mobile device or our mobile application, your mobile device ID, your mobile carrier, and your physical (GPS) location may be transmitted to Ace my grades. You agree that Ace my grades may store and use that information for security purposes (for example, for user verification and to ensure that Ace my grades&#8217;s APIs are being used appropriately) and, if available, for purposes of assisting you in locating nearby shipping stores, schools or other places of interest. Ace my grades does not share your location information with third parties except for a location service provider Google Maps. If you wish to no longer allow Ace my grades to track your physical locations you may turn this off within your device settings. When you place an order through the Services, you may be able to opt-in to receiving text messaging reminders from Ace my grades. If you choose to do so, you must provide to Ace my grades your telephone number, which Ace my grades will store and use to send reminders to you. You may always opt-out by replying \u201cSTOP\u201d to one of the text messages received. You also acknowledge and agree that use of the Services through a mobile device may cause data to be displayed on and through your mobile device which may be viewed by your mobile carrier or other access provider.<\/p>\n<p><b>Information Sharing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ace my grades does not share your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent. Ace my grades may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information and Usage Information with third parties, and third parties, including third party advertisers, content providers, and analytics providers, may collect such information when you visit the Services. We also may share your Personal Information with third parties with your consent, as disclosed at the time you provide us with information, and as described below or otherwise in this privacy policy:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li><b>Educational Institutions:<\/b> We work with colleges, universities, scholarship providers and educational institutions (\u201cEducational Institutions\u201d) to provide targeted recruiting and outreach to some of our members. In addition, you may indicate that you would like to receive additional information from Educational Institutions or other third parties and we will then share your information with those parties so that they may contact you per your request. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of third parties, and, if you later decide that you no longer want to receive communications from a third party, you will need to contact that third party directly.<\/li>\n<li><b>When You Request That We Share Your Information.<\/b> We may offer opportunities and features through the Services that are brought to you by a third party or that otherwise involve sharing your information with a third party. If you request or agree at that time to have your information shared, your information will be disclosed to that third party (or parties) and will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of that third party. You also may request, sometimes through your use of an interactive feature, a widget or third party application, that we share information about you with a third party and we will typically do so under those circumstances.<\/li>\n<li><b>Service Providers.<\/b> We will share your Personal Information with third parties to carry out your instructions and to provide specific services to you or to us as part of our Services, but subject to confidentiality obligations which limit their use and disclosure of such information. If you purchase any products or services, our billing partner will receive billing and financial information (e.g., credit card numbers) necessary to process your charges, including your postal and e-mail addresses, depending on your payment method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you choose to use the Powered by Ace my grades\u00ae kiosk at a participating Authorized Ace my grades Affiliate, the affiliate will be provided with your personal information, including your contact information, the books you are renting, and rental fees.

We may also use Device Identifiers, including IP addresses, to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, Internet service providers, wireless service providers or law enforcement agencies in our discretion. These disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.<\/li>\n<li><b>Business Transitions<\/b> Ace my grades may share Personal Information with its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily for business and operational purposes. In the event that Ace my grades goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process, your information, including Personal Information, will likely be among the assets transferred. This Privacy Policy will become binding upon the new owner of the information until amended.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions.<\/b> We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (&#8220;Promotion&#8221;) that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to governing terms, conditions or official rules, which may contain specific requirements of you, including allowing the sponsor(s) of the Promotion to use your name, voice, likeness or other indicia of persona in advertising or marketing associated with the Promotion. If you choose to enter a Promotion, Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including, without limitation, in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law or permitted by the Promotion&#8217;s official rules, such as on a winners list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>UPDATING Your Account Information AND Control over your profile<\/b><\/p>\n<p>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 the information.

For example, when you enter sensitive information such as a geolocation data, credit card number and CCV2 number on our checkout forms, that information is encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) technology, to help protect the communications between you and our payment partners.<\/p>\n<p>However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, as in any real-life scenario, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.<\/p>\n<p><b>CONSENT TO TRANSFER<\/b><\/p>\n<p>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.
