Your privacy is critically important to us. At AreteLabs, these our guiding principles:
It is AreteLabs's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
This privacy statement describes how AreteLabs collects and uses the personal information you provide on our Web site, aretelabs.com. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.
Like most website operators, AreteLabs collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. AreteLabs's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how AreteLabs's visitors use its website. From time to time, AreteLabs may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
AreteLabs also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. AreteLabs does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to AreteLabs's website choose to interact with AreteLabs in ways that require AreteLabs to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that AreteLabs gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, some visitors may and some visitors must sign up for an account at AreteLabs by providing a name and email address. In all such cases, AreteLabs collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with AreteLabs. AreteLabs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally- identifying information, and are in all cases free to create accounts with inauthentic name/email information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
For all students, including children under 13, we do not strictly require students to submit their name or email address, although it may be added by a teacher or student (parental consent being required where the student is under 13) when the account for the student is created. The website also does not allow any type of direct communication to or between the student participants.
Children's safety and full enjoyment of AreteLabs, as well as the safety and well being for all children and their families, is of the utmost importance to all of us at AreteLabs. AreteLabs does not accumulate personal information about any child or family for distribution, sharing, or selling except as described in this privacy policy.
AreteLabs may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, AreteLabs may monitor the most popular quizzes on the AreteLabs site. AreteLabs may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, AreteLabs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
AreteLabs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on AreteLabs's behalf or to provide services available at AreteLabs's website and mobile applications, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using AreteLabs's website and mobile applications, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. AreteLabs will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, AreteLabs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law such as to comply with a court order, or when AreteLabs believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of AreteLabs, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a AreteLabs website and have supplied your email address, AreteLabs may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with AreteLabs and our products. We primarily use our product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. AreteLabs takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. You may choose to stop receiving our email by unsubscribing.
