Privacy Policy

The following privacy policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Site (“Site”) and the Services accessible on the Site. This Site provides access to publicly available curricular materials and Services which consist of registration for instructors to access additional curricular materials (“Services”).

The Service only collects information from Instructors. Non-instructors, including, but not limited to, students are not permitted to register an account with the Services.

Account registration information: When registering for a user account in order to use the Services, you are asked for your name and email address. The only Personally Identifiable Information (PII) we collect from this Site and the Services are your name, email address, institution name, and role at your institution. Providing this information is voluntary, but it is required if you want to use the Services. If you choose not to provide user account information, you will not be able to use the Services. 

Site use information: Information on your access to the Site is gathered automatically when you access and use the Site. This information includes IP address, information on your browser and operating system version, your choices, session time, click path analysis, and time spent on pages, and details on your page requests. Collection of this information is automatic, so we cannot stop it from being collected. 

The Services may provide users with the option to access or use MyOpenMath, a third-party platform, in connection with course materials. Use of MyOpenMath is entirely optional. If you choose to use MyOpenMath, you may be asked to provide information directly to that platform in accordance with its own data collection practices. Any information you provide to MyOpenMath is governed by its terms of use and privacy policy, not this policy. We are not responsible for the data collection, use, or storage practices of MyOpenMath.

 "Data" as referred to in this policy include account registration information and site use information. We are authorized to store your Data by your consent. If you do not want us to store your Data, do not use this Site or Services, and do not register a user account. 

The Services only collects Data necessary to fulfill our duties and provide the Services. Data may also be used to study ways to improve the Services.

Your user account information (name, email address, institution name, and role at your institution) is used solely to provide the Service to you. We may also use your user account information to contact you for the purpose of providing customer support.

Site use information is used for monitoring materials access, and diagnosis of user-reported issues. 

We may use de-identified Data for product development or improvement, research or other purposes. De-identified Data will have all personal identifiers removed, including name and email address. We do not attempt to re-identify de-identified information.

We do not disclose any account registration information to any third party without your consent, except when necessary to provide the Services or if required by law, regulation, government request, or other legal process like a subpoena or public records act request. 

We share site use information with our subcontractors (e.g., an external vendor providing a service used to deliver the Site), who are required to comply with the confidentiality provisions of this policy, and the Terms of Service. WestEd will share the names of subcontractors with users upon request.

If you choose to use MyOpenMath, you may be required to create an account directly on the MyOpenMath platform in order to access and use certain course features. Any information you provide to MyOpenMath is submitted voluntarily and is governed by MyOpenMath’s own terms of use and privacy policy. MyOpenMath is a Third-Party Site. WestEd assumes no responsibility for services or applications that may be accessed through links on the Services to sites hosted by third parties that are outside of WestEd’s control ("Third-Party Sites"). WestEd does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of any Third-Party Site or Third-Party Content and disclaims all liability for any errors, omissions, violations of third-party rights, or illegal conduct arising from such content or sites. The inclusion of a link to any Third-Party Site in the Services does not imply that the owners of such Third-Party Sites have sponsored or endorsed the Services. Access to and use of Third-Party Sites, including any information, materials, products, or services available through them, is solely at your own risk. WestEd is not responsible for the accessibility or availability of Third-Party Sites.

We may disclose any Data (including, but not limited to, personal information or private electronic communication transmitted on the Service): (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, government request, or other legal process; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary to provide the Service; or (iii) to protect the data security, rights, or property of WestEd or its  sponsors, providers, or licensors.
