Information That We Collect
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) allows a school district or school to obtain consent for the online collection of personal information from children who are students of the school district or school. We have been retained by your school district ("District") and/or school ("School") to provide online educational services through the Site. Your District or School oversees the Site and, accordingly, has control over who can register for an account and who can use various features of the Site.
Districts and Schools are able to create and register administrative accounts ("Administrator Accounts") for their Districts/Schools and the administrators, employees and/or staff designated by each District/School (collectively, "Administrators"). Administrators will also be able to register additional accounts for their District/School teachers (collectively, "Teacher Accounts"), and their students ("Student Accounts"), and the parents of their students ("Parent Accounts"). Teachers in each District/School (collectively, "Teachers") may create their own Teacher Accounts for the Site and may be able to register Student Accounts and Parent Accounts for their students and the parents of their students.
In order to create or register for an account or utilize some of the services on the Site, you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to upload, certain information about yourself, your student(s) or their parents. With respect to all accounts, we do not collect any personal information that identifies you (“Personal Information”), such as full name or email address, unless it is voluntarily provided by you, a District/School, Administrator, or Teacher. Please note that we may, at the request of Districts and Schools, acquire certain Personal Information about you from a District's or School's service provider in order to create your account, authenticate login, and enable access to and use of the Site. We will treat such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy as though it were provided directly by you.
The following information may be collected when registering for and/or utilizing the Site:
Administrator Accounts: Information, including Personal Information, collected by the Site may include the first, middle and last name, email address, school name, username, password or other information provided by or associated with the Administrator Account holder.

Student Accounts: An Administrator or a Teacher may register a Student Account on behalf of his/her student and assign the Student Account a username and password. When registering the Student Account, the Site may collect the following information, including Personal Information, about the student: (i) student's first, middle and last name; (ii) student's ID; (iii) student's grade level; (iv) school name; (v) username; and (vi) password. Upon registration of a Student Account, the Administrator or Teacher will assign the Student Account a username, which the Administrator, Teacher or the student can change upon logging into the Site. Before a Student Account is created, Administrators and Teachers are given an opportunity to review and agree to the Terms & Conditions of the Site (a copy is located at https://www.perfectionnext.com/terms-and-conditions.hmtl). If they do not agree to the Terms & Conditions, they are not allowed to continue on the Site. The Administrator or Teacher is responsible for maintaining Student Account information. After registration, registered students will be able to access the Site by logging into the Site with the student's applicable username and password. The Site will allow students to communicate via the Site's internal message system with their Teachers and Administrators. Students will be able to submit assignments to their Teachers via the Site and their Teachers will be able to assign assignments and grades to their students via the Site. Each School is responsible for obtaining parental consent for its students to use the Site. If a parent has any questions regarding registration, please contact the child's Teacher or School Administrator.

This Site is not intended for registration by children, including any children under the age of 13, and we have no intention of allowing children to register accounts for themselves for the Site.

Security
Perfection Learning will not be liable for disclosures of your Personal Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Users must accept all risks associated with any data transmission, including the risk that their personal information may be intercepted in transit.
California Consumer Rights
If you are a California resident, under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), you have specific rights regarding your Personal Information. As used in this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning provided under the CCPA which is information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. This section describes the rights that California residents have with respect to “personal information” and explains how to exercise those rights, subject in all cases to any limitations set forth in applicable law.
Please refer to the section(s) entitled “Information That We Collect”, “Information Usage”, and “Special Circumstances for Information Sharing” above for more detail about the types of Personal Information collected, the purposes for which and sources from where we collect Personal Information, and the types of third parties with whom we share Personal Information. We do not “sell” your Personal Information as we understand that term under the CCPA.
Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold: As a California Consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access and Deletion Rights”), and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information. You have the right to request any or all of the following:
The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected.
The categories of personal information that the business sold or disclosed for a business purpose about the consumer.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.
Deletion Request Rights: You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights”), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception (e.g., under applicable law) applies. However, we may retain Personal Information that has been de-identified or aggregated. Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) in order to perform certain actions in accordance with applicable laws, such as detecting security incidents and protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity.
Exercising Access and Deletion Rights: To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by:
Emailing us at support@perfectionlearning.com
Calling us at 1-800-831-4190
Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make the requests set forth above. The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to reasonably understand, evaluate, and respond to your request. In addition, you should provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the Personal Information or an authorized representative of that person. For more information about verification, see “Response Timing and Format” immediately below.
Response Timing and Format: We will respond to your request(s) in a reasonably timely manner. If we require extra time to respond, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. In order to protect the security of your Personal Information, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will depend on the type, sensitivity, and value of the information, including the risk of harm to you posed by any authorized access or deletion. Generally speaking, verification will be performed by matching the identifying information provided by you to the Personal Information that we already have.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request (and will not be made more than twice in a 12-month period). If we cannot comply with a request, or cannot fully comply with a request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply.
Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Policy Modifications/Opt-Out
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this Privacy Policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to make a material change to the way we use Personal Information under this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice of the change and will post an updated Privacy Policy reflecting the change on the Site. If at any time in the future we plan to make non-material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post such changes here. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any non-material changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such changes. Please check this page periodically for any non-material changes to this Privacy Policy.
If you would like to remove Personal Information from our Site, please contact your Teacher or Administrator. We are not responsible for a Teacher or Administrator's failure to remove your Personal Information, including in a timely manner, as that is the responsibility of the applicable School/District.
