We may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose. In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information (such as combining your zip code with your name).

THIRD PARTIES AND THIRD-PARTY SITES

Schoolhouse may provide links (e.g., via Website or mobile application) to websites or applications owned by third parties, which may have their own privacy policies. When you visit these third-party websites or applications, it is recommended that you read their privacy policies carefully. Schoolhouse is not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such third-party websites or applications, and your access and use of such third-party websites or applications is at your own risk.

We are not responsible for the information collection, usage, disclosure or other privacy practices of any third parties, including our affiliates, third-party service providers, any third-party social media platform (such as Meta), or any third party operating any website to which Schoolhouse.com contains a link. The inclusion of a link on Schoolhouse.com does not imply endorsement of the linked website by us or by our affiliates.

SECURITY

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. For example, we seek to use Secure Sockets Layer ('SSL') technology for the placement of orders. Unfortunately, no data storage system or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please also be aware that we may use third-party cloud service providers that provide hosting, data storage and other services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable; these service providers have informed us and the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures.

Please exercise caution in submitting Personal Information via Schoolhouse.com, especially if you are accessing Schoolhouse.com using a WiFi hotspot or public network. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account that you might have with us has been compromised), or if you are unable to utilize our SSL technology in connection with Schoolhouse.com, immediately notify us of the problem and place any orders over the telephone or in person, instead of using the Website. You may contact us in such circumstances at privacy@schoolhouse.com.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING OUR USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may have certain rights regarding our use and disclosure of your Personal Information, regardless of whether such information is collected by us through Schoolhouse.com or otherwise. While these rights are not absolute, you may have the right to: (1) request information about the Personal Information we have collected, used and disclosed over the past 12 months; (2) request correction of inaccurate Personal Information; (3) request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information; and (4) request that we delete your Personal Information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights and will never charge you a different price or provide you with a lower quality of product or Services if you exercise your rights. You can exercise these rights as follows:

  • Our sharing of your Personal Information with Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties for their marketing or other commercial purposes: If you no longer want us to share your Personal Information on a going-forward basis with our Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties for their purposes, you may submit a request to opt-out of such sharing by emailing us at privacy@schoolhouse.com. Please include your full name and the contact information that you no longer wish to be shared. Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information related to your opt-out request actually relates to you and not some other person;
  • Deletion of Personal Information where there is no longer a legitimate reason for us to keep it. If you no longer want us to retain your Personal Information on a going-forward basis, you may submit a request to delete your Personal Information by emailing us at privacy@schoolhouse.com. In contacting us, please include your full name and the contact information that you wish to be deleted. Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information relating to your deletion request actually relates to you and not some other person. Please Note: There are a number of reasons why Schoolhouse will retain your Personal Information even if you make a deletion request. Generally, we retain information to comply with legal obligations or to protect or defend our legal rights. However, applicable law also permits retention of your Personal Information for our own internal business uses that are compatible with the context in which the information was collected. If we decline to delete some of your Personal Information after you have requested deletion, we will respond to you with our reasoning and explain how your Personal Information will still be protected so long as we retain it;
  • Access your Personal Information. You may ask for a copy of the Personal Information we have collected about you and about how that information was disclosed for the last 12 months by emailing us at privacy@schoolhouse.com. Additionally, we may need to ask for additional information in order to ensure that the Personal Information you are accessing actually relates to you and not some other person. We are not responsible for changing information in the databases of Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties with whom we have already shared your Personal Information prior to receiving your request. Note that you may not request copies of your Personal Information more than twice a year;
  • Receiving promotional emails from us: If you no longer want to receive promotional emails (such as information about new products, special offers and sales events) from us on a going- forward basis, you may “unsubscribe” from receiving such communications by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any promotional email; and
  • Appointment of an Agent. You have the right to appoint an agent to exercise all your rights under this Privacy Notice. However, appointment of an agent is a serious matter and, in the interest of protecting your privacy, we may require that you not only properly identify yourself and the information that relates to you, but also require that you provide us with sufficient Personal Information about your agent so that we may identify them as well.

We will try to comply with any reasonable request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt-out as described above, we will not be able to remove your Personal Information from the databases of our Affiliates, Promotional Partners and other third parties with which we have already shared your Personal Information (i.e., to which we have already provided your Personal Information as of the date that we implement your opt-out request). Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related messages from us, we may still send important administrative messages to you, and you cannot opt-out from receiving such administrative messages. For example, when you place an order, we will continue to confirm your order and shipment status by email. We may also need to contact you via telephone, email or postal mail with information or questions regarding your order.
