Privacy Policy

Your personal privacy is important to GoKnow and we are committed to protecting it. When visiting the Learning @ Hand Website, we want you to be reassured that we will in no way compromise your personal privacy. We will never share your information with a third party without first obtaining appropriate permission. This statement of our Privacy Policy is being provided to inform you as to what personal information we collect, how we collect it, and how we use it.

A. How We Collect and Use Information

1. Voluntary Registration. First of all, your decision as to whether or not to register on our site is strictly voluntary. The educational software reviews on the website and the curriculum section of the website are made available to you at no charge and without the need to register. If you choose, at your discretion, however, to take advantage of certain other (also free) services on our site - for instance, to participate in our discussion board or to receive our electronic newsletter - it is necessary for you to first become a registered user. If you elect to become a registered user, we ask for required and optional information as follows:

(a) Required Information:

Username

Password (you select)

Name

Email address

(b) Optional Information:

Job description/position

Grade level

Content area

Choose to receive electronic newsletter

2. Use of Personal Information. The information supplied by each registered user is compiled and used by GoKnow to send out our electronic newsletter (if desired by the registered user), to identify the types of educational software which should be reviewed as being of interest to our registered users, and to identify the types of curricula which may be of interest to our registered users. We also collect this personal information to help ensure accountability with respect to the use of our discussion board by registered users and to contact registered users in the event any registered user places objectionable User Materials on the discussion board or otherwise violates our terms (see our Terms And Conditions). Neither the required information nor the optional personal information submitted by any registered user is made available to any third party without the consent of the registered user.

3. Cookies. A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie can contain information such as the username or password which the website uses to track the pages you visit. However, the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive, nor can it read cookie files created by other websites. We only use cookie information as described in Section 2 above. Other linked websites may use cookies, however, GoKnow has no control over such use.

B. Links to Other Websites

It is important to note that our website contains links to other third-party websites. These websites may not follow the same privacy practices that we do. They may also send their own cookies to your computer to collect data and make use of it in ways that GoKnow would not.

C. How We Protect Information

In an effort to prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the correct use of collected information, GoKnow has established appropriate electronic, physical, contractual and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information we collect online.

D. Your Right to Not Receive Our Newsletter

Registration on our website is strictly voluntary. One of the choices available to you if you register is whether or not you wish to receive our electronic newsletter. You can choose not to receive our newsletter when you originally register as a registered user, or you can elect to receive the newsletter and later unsubscribe by simply following the instructions on the bottom of each issue of the newsletter.

E. Opportunity to Correct or Update Your Information

If you choose to become a registered user of our website, you can at any later time update your personal information by simply entering the registration area of the website.
