Grammar Flip, LLC (“GrammarFlip”) appreciates your interest in our services. Our website, www.grammarflip.com, www.grammarflip.org, www.grammerflip.com, and www.grammaronline.org (the “Website”), is an important means of providing you or your students a self-paced, instructional program in grammar. We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
By accessing and using the Website and its pages, applications, services, forums, groups, and networks (individually and collectively, the “Website”), you agree and certify that you have read, understand, and agree to this Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Use (collectively, the “Policy”), whether or not you hold a registered account (an “Account”). All Visitors of the Website, whether or not registered Account holders, are referred to as “you” or “Visitors”). The Website is owned, operated, and administered by Grammar Flip, LLC (the “Company”, “we” or “us”).
This Policy aims to inform you about how we collect, use, disclose, store, secure, and dispose information about you when you: (i) interact or use the Website, including downloading materials from our platform or if you use any of our products, services, or applications (including any free trial) in any manner. Company will ensure that all personal data that it collects and holds will be: (i) processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner; (ii) collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate educational/school purposes only and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; (iii) adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary; (iv) accurate and kept up to date; (v) kept in a form which permits identification of users; and (vi) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of this Policy at any time and such modifications are, unless otherwise stated in this Policy, effective immediately. If this Policy is modified, such changes shall be posted on the Website and we will make reasonable efforts to bring any modifications to your attention at the time of your access of the Website or via other reasonable communication channels such as email notification or via banner notification at which point you will have the option to continue or discontinue use of Website. Your continued use of the Website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

Security
We value the privacy and security of your personal information. We have implemented commercially-reasonable measures that are intended to keep your personal information safe from unintended disclosure. Despite our efforts, however, factors beyond our reasonable control, such as a sophisticated, malicious attack by a “hacker”, could result in disclosure of your personal information. Accordingly, we are not in a position to guarantee that your information will be secure under all circumstances and we make no warranties or representations with regards to the maintenance or non-disclosure of your information.
All registered Accounts are accessible by password. When you register and create an Account, you must choose a unique Visitorname and password. You should not disclose your Visitorname or password to any third party or permit any third party to use your Account, Visitorname, or password. Furthermore, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Visitorname and password. You must immediately notify us if you have any suspicion that an unauthorized party is accessing an Account. We will never ask for your password or personal information in an unsolicited phone call, email message, or other communication. If someone claiming to be us calls you or sends you an email message requesting your password or personal information, that person is not authorized by us to do so, and you should decline to disclose the information and then contact us immediately. You may change your password at any time. You are solely responsible for all activity, whether or not authorized by you, which occurs in connection with your Account or password. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us might have been compromised, or if you suspect that someone else is using your account, please contact us immediately using the contact information provided below in the “Contact Us” Section.
Information We Collect — Registered Account Holders Only
In addition to the information we collect from all Visitors, we collect personally identifiable information from our registered Account holders. Registered Account holders are asked to give us personally identifiable information such as name, postal or e-mail addresses, payment card information, telephone number, a Visitor name and password, and teaching and other account information. It is your option to provide the information requested, but declining to provide us with information may prevent you from becoming a registered Account holder.
Registered Account holders may use the Website to collect certain information from students to enable the Account holder and students to utilize the services on the Website. This information is limited to a student’s first name, last name (or last-name initials), and an email address. Such students may be under the age of 13, but any information collected from students under the age of 13 on the Website will not be “personal information” as that term is defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. A registered Account holder may provide personal information relating to students to us, and we will not use that information to market to students. We will not retain student personal information for longer than necessary to support authorized school purposes or authorized by the parent/student, and we abide by the policy of providing parents with access and correction rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
We collect non-personally identifiable information from Visitors who are not registered Account holders. When you visit our Website, we collect certain non-personally identifiable information including the name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, the website from which you came to ours, the web pages you visit within our Website, the time and length of your visit, and other information important to our marketing analysis and research. We may use cookies and active components (for example, JavaScript components) to collect aggregate information about the preferences of our visitors and optimize our Website accordingly. We may collect this non-personally identifiable information without providing further notice to you.
In some countries, we are not permitted to send cookies to the browser of a user without the prior consent of the affected user. In this case, we will seek such consent. The remainder of this section assumes that either the use of cookies is not restricted by applicable law, or if it is restricted that the individual has explicitly consented to the use of the cookies. We may use cookies and other tools to collect and store your preferences, usage habits, and record session information. A “cookie” is a small data file that is transferred to your hard drive and used for record-keeping purposes. A cookie file can collect information such as the URL, computer IP address, domain type, browser type, the country, state, and telephone area code where your server is located, the pages of the Website viewed, and any search terms entered on the Website. Cookies and similar tools allow us and third parties to collect information about a Visitor’s online activities over time and across different websites. These cookies allow us to customize the Website content to your preferences, profile, and/or demographic information. As technology changes, the use and function of cookies may change, and they may be replaced by other technologies. We have no obligation to update this Policy to reflect such changes. You may configure your internet browser or other settings to accept or reject all or some cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent; however, you may be required to set your browser to enable cookies from us in order to use some functions on the Website. Even if your browser’s settings are set to send “do not track” signals or other mechanisms to prevent tracking by cookies and similar tools, we may collect information about you and your activity.
