c) Our Disclosure of
Your Information
Due to the existing regulatory
environment, we cannot ensure that all of your
private communications and other personally identifiable
information will never be disclosed in ways not
otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By
way of example (without limiting and foregoing),
we may be forced to disclose information to the
government, law enforcement agencies or third
parties under certain circumstances, third parties
may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions
or private communications, or Users may abuse
or misuse your information that they collect from
our Website. Therefore, although we use industry
standard practices to protect your privacy, we
do not promise, and you should not expect, that
your personally identifiable information or private
communications will always remain private.
As a matter of policy, we do
not sell or rent any personally identifiable information
about you to any third party. However, the following
describes some of the ways that your personally
identifiable information may be disclosed.
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather
up data across all our Users accounts)
personally identifiable information and disclose
such information in a non-personally identifiable
manner to advertisers, and third parties for
other marketing and promotional purposes. In
these situations we may disclose
the name and address of your Institution, however,
we do not disclose to these entities any information
that could be used to identify you personally.
Certain information, such as your name, email
address, password, credit card number and bank
account number, are never disclosed to marketing
advertisers. We may use third-party advertising
companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies
may employ cookies and action tags (also known
as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure
advertising effectiveness. Any information that
these third parties collect via cookies and action
tags is completely anonymous.
Other Institutions. We may
disclose the name and address of your Institution
to the
other educational and training institutions for
marketing and promotional purposes.
External Service Providers.
There are a number of services offered by external
service
providers that help you use our Website (e.g.
listing agents, escrow, authentication,
mediation). If you choose to use these optional
services, and in the course of doing so, disclose
information to the external service providers,
and/or grant them permission to collect information
about you, then their use of your information
is governed by their private policy.
Other Corporate Entities. We
share much of our data, including personally identifiable
information about you, with our parent, affiliates,
subsidiaries and joint ventures that are committed
to serving your online needs and related services,
throughout the world. To the extent that these
entities have access to your information, they
will treat it at least as protectively as they
treat information they obtain from their other
Users. Our parent, affiliates, subsidiaries
and joint ventures will follow privacy practices
no less protective of all Users than our practices
described in this document, to the extent allowed
by applicable law. It is possible that DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net,
its subsidiaries, joint ventures, or any combination
of such, could merge with or be acquired by another
business entity. Should such a combination occur,
you should expect that DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net would share
some or all of your information in order to continue
to provide the service. You will receive notice
of such event (to the extent it occurs) and we
will require that the new combined entity follow
the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
Legal Requests. DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net cooperates
with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other
third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual
property rights, fraud and other rights. We can
(and you authorize us to) disclose any information
about you to law enforcement and other government
officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe
necessary or appropriate, in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is illegal
or may expose us or you to legal liability.
d) Accessing, Reviewing
and Changing Institution Info.
Administrator
can review or change any information submitted
during the registration, except Type
of Institution, Level of Institution, security
question, and User ID. If you change Administrator's
password
we keep track of your old password.
You can also
upload and update
the logo and picture of your institution.
Students and Teachers Profiles
as well as several kinds of Performance Analysis
Reports of the
Students,
Teachers,
Classes, and the Institution can be accessed
by the Administrator, Students / Parents, and
Teachers
according to their specific rights. These
Performance Analysis Reports are
automatically
created and
updated based on the Test / Exam results entered
by the
Administrator, Class Incharges, or the Heads
of Departments.
No student
has access to the profile, test / exam results,
or Performance
Analysis Reports of any other student. Likewise,
No Teacher
has access to the profile, test / exam results,
or Performance
Analysis Reports of any other teacher. However,
Administrator has the access to all the Students
and Teacher profiles, test / exam results,
and all the Performance Analysis Reports. Administrator
can also allow and define the level of access
to the Class Incharges / Heads of Departments
about
Students
personal information on their profiles, test
/ exam results, and Performance Analysis Reports
of the students. The Administrator would, however,
be fully responsible for allowing and defining
this access to the
Students Info, and DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net shall
not be liable for any misuse of such information
under any circumstances.
You can De-activate your Institution at anytime
you like to disallow access to your Institution
Information Management System by anyone other than you. You can Re-activate your
Institution again to allow access to your Institution Information Management System to others
including teachers, students and the public.
We will retain our files information
you have requested to remove in order in some
circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems and enforce our terms and conditions.
Further, such prior information is never completely
removed from our databases due to technical and
legal constraints, including stored ‘back
up' systems. Therefore, you should not expect
that all of your personally identifiable information
will be completely removed from our databases
in response to your requests.
e) Control of Your Password
You are responsible for all
actions taken with your User ID and password.
Therefore, we do not recommend that you disclose
your MyInstitution.Net User
ID or password to any third parties. If you
choose to share your
User ID and password or your information
with third parties to provide you additional
services,
you are responsible for all actions taken with
your User ID and password and therefore
should review that third party's privacy policy.
If you lose control of your password, you may
lose substantial control over the service, and
personally identifiable information about you
as well as teachers
and students
of your Institution, and may be
subject
to
legally binding actions taken on your behalf.
Therefore, if your password has been compromised
for any reason, you should immediately change
your password.
f) Other Information
Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly
included in this Privacy Policy, this document
only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose
your information to other parties, whether they
are on our Website or on other websites throughout the
Internet, different rules may apply to their use
or disclosure of the information you disclose
to them. To the extent that we use third party
advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy
policies. Since DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net does not control the
privacy policies of the third parties, you are
subject to ask questions before you disclose your
personal information to others.
g) Security
DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net uses industry standard
practices to safeguard the confidentiality of
your personal identifiable information. DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net treats data as an asset that must be protected
against loss and unauthorized access. We employ
many different security techniques to protect
such data from unauthorized access by Users
inside and outside the company. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
h) Notice
We may change this Privacy Policy
from the time based on your comments and our need
to accurately reflect our data collection and
disclosure practices. All changes to this policy
are effective after we provide you with at least
(30) days' notice of changes by sending email
to Users. We provide you with (30) days' notice
to allow you the opportunity to notify DotNet Systems / MyInstitution.Net if you do not agree to such changes.
