Last Updated and Effective Date: January 31, 2024
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information through products and services sold by JUSTSYSTEMS AMERICA, INC. or its related corporate entities (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and through other websites, applications, online services, and customer support services (collectively, the “Services”) that link to this policy. Personal information is sometimes also referred to as personal data, personally identifiable information, or other like terms to mean any information that directly or indirectly identifies you or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or your household. We also describe in this Privacy Policy our handling of “sensitive” personal information, which are subject to additional protections under applicable data privacy laws. If you reside in California, please also see Your California Rights in Section VII below.
We collect personal information you provide directly to us. The circumstances in which guests and visitors to the site (collectively, “you” or “your” and where noted, your child) may provide information include, without limitation, when you register for the Services, access various content or features, sign up to receive emails or other communications, participate in promotions, or directly contact us with questions or feedback. The information that you may provide includes:
We may also automatically collect certain information when you or your child uses the Services, including:
We may use cookies, tags, web beacons, and similar Internet technologies in connection with the Services. For a complete description of how we and third parties may use these technologies and how you may opt-out or disable certain cookies on our website, please consult our Cookie Policy.
In addition, by changing the settings of Smile Tablet's parental control, you can choose the following information not to be sent to the server: reports on errors and crashes that occur when using the Smile Tablet and information on usage data that shows how you used it.
We also may obtain additional data, or enhance, update, or add to our existing records, with personal information we acquire from third-party sources, such as data aggregators and third-party promotional partners.
We may derive personal information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your approximate location based on your IP address or infer that you are looking to purchase certain products based on your browsing behavior and past purchases.
We may use the categories of personal information identified in Personal Information We Collect in Section I.A above for the following purposes:
We disclose personal information in the following circumstances or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy to:
We store personal information for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations.
We maintain reasonable security procedures to help protect against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information you provide to us. While we strive to protect your information and privacy, please note that no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a provider of learning materials for children, we recognize the importance of protecting children’s personal information. This section is intended to address how we handle personal information that may be collected from children under the age of 13, which is subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
We describe in NOTICE AT COLLECTION in Section I above how we handle personal information of individuals using our Services. As part of our processing of personal information on our Services, we take the following steps to minimize the collection and disclosure of personal information from children:
As the parent or guardian of a child, you may be given additional controls to manage your child’s learning activities, such as the ability to set Smile Zemi Tablet usage time limits and the ability to turn certain features on or off. Prior to taking such actions, you may be required to log into your account, verify your identity, or enter a passcode. Please note that you will need to separately access and update the settings for each child under your account in order for certain features to be turned on or off.
You may review the personal information we have collected from your child, have your child’s personal information deleted, and refuse to permit the further use, maintenance, or future collection of your child’s personal information. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to the termination of the account or our ability to provide the Services.
To exercise these rights, you may CONTACT US in Section VIII below. To protect children’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify the identity of a parent or guardian before granting access to any personal information.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We may also provide you with an additional notice (such as by adding a statement to the Services or sending you a notification), in connection with making material changes to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
This website may contain links to other websites or online services that are operated and maintained by third parties and that are not under our control or maintained by us. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party content or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties before using their websites or services.
We allow you to review and correct certain information you have provided to us. If you wish to access or update your information, you may do so by logging into the dedicated site designated by us.
Users may choose to receive promotional emails, newsletters, and similar communications from us. You may take steps to stop receiving commercial emails from us by using the opt-out link included in the commercial emails you receive or by changing delivery settings after logging in or email authentication. Please note that opt-out requests may take up to 10 business days to be effective. If a delivery procedure is performed before the opt-out request becomes effective, the email may be sent even after the opt-out request. Your opt-out request will not apply to messages that you request or that are not commercial in nature. For example, we may contact you concerning any purchases you have made with us, even if you opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial email messages.
With your consent, we may send push notifications to your mobile device. You can deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device.
The California Privacy Rights Act or “CPRA” (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) and the Shine the Light law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83) afford consumers residing in California certain rights with respect to their personal information. If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.
We have not disclosed any personal information from California residents in the 12 months preceding the Last Updated and/or Effective Date indicated above. For details about the precise data points we collect and the categories of sources of such collection, please see Personal Information We Collect in Section I.A above. The personal information we collect relate to the following categories of personal information under the CPRA: identifiers, personal information described in the California Customer Records Act, commercial information, internet or other electronic network activity, geolocation data, education information, inferences, and sensitive personal information. We collect personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in Purpose and Use of Personal Information in Section I.B above. We may disclose personal information on a going-forward basis as described in Disclosure of Personal Information in Section I.C above.
We do not sell your personal information or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and have not done so in the prior 12 months. We also do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children under the age of 16, and have not done so in the prior 12 months.
Under the CPRA, certain types of personal information are considered “sensitive” personal information and require additional data privacy rights and obligations. We collect credit card information (through our payment processor Stripe), login information, and content of the chat, text messages or drawings between you and your child through the Smile Tablet or dedicated Website, which may be considered sensitive personal information under the CPRA. We only collect this sensitive personal information to perform the services or provide the goods you expected, prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents, resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at our business and to prosecute those responsible, ensure the physical safety of natural persons, and verify or maintain the quality or safety of our products, services or devices (“Permitted Purposes”). Because we only collect this sensitive personal information for Permitted Purposes, there is no need for us to provide a Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information right under the CPRA.
The CPRA affords consumers residing in California the following rights with respect to their personal information, subject to certain exceptions:
You may exercise your privacy rights by calling our toll-free phone number at 1-800-886-0585 or contact us at our website. We will need to verify your identity before honoring your privacy right request. We will verify your identity by asking you to provide personal information related to your recent interactions with us. We will honor your privacy rights request within 45 calendar days of receipt, unless we request an extension under the CPRA.
You may exercise your privacy rights through an authorized agent. If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please CONTACT US below in Section VIII.
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please CONTACT US below in Section VIII.
Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the do not track signal, we currently do not respond to the browser do not track signals.
