When does English Evolution use end user information from third parties?

English Evolution will collect End User Data necessary to provide the English Evolution services to our customers. End users may voluntarily provide us with information they have made available on social media websites. If you provide us with any such information, we may collect publicly available information from the social media websites you have indicated. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.

When does English Evolution use customer information from third parties?

We receive some information from third parties when you contact us. For example, when you submit your email address to us to show interest in becoming an English Evolution customer, we may receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud detection services to English Evolution.

Do we share the information we collect with third parties?

We do not sell, rent, or grant third parties the right to use your personal information for their own purposes. We share information only with trusted service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting and maintaining our website, payment processing, email delivery, and customer service. These service providers are permitted to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

We may also disclose personal information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in order to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.

If we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, your information may be transferred to our successor-in-interest, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may in the future run targeted advertising, such as Facebook advertising campaigns directed at audiences we build independently of website data. If this changes and we begin using website visitor data for advertising purposes, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Where and when is information collected from customers and end users?

English Evolution will collect personal information that you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.

How Do We Use The Information We Collect?

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

1. To personalize your experience
2. To improve our website
3. To improve customer service
4. To process transactions
5. To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature
6. To send periodic emails

How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking the opt-out or unsubscribe link included in the email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails. Email addresses submitted through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates pertaining to your order. If you would like to unsubscribe from future emails, unsubscribe instructions are included at the bottom of each email.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide English Evolution to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can’t identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and processed by our payment processor, SureCart, and its underlying payment gateway. We do not store full payment card details on our own systems. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to English Evolution or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

English Evolution is based in the United States. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is the information collected through the English Evolution Service secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I update or correct my information?

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media, will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

Personnel

If you are an English Evolution worker or applicant, we collect information you voluntarily provide to us. We use the information collected for Human Resources purposes in order to administer benefits to workers and screen applicants.

You may contact us in order to (1) update or correct your information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) receive a record of the information we have relating to you.

Sale of Business

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of English Evolution, or that portion of English Evolution to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States without regard to its conflict of laws provision. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy, except for those individuals who may have rights to make claims under Privacy Shield, or the Swiss-US framework.

By using English Evolution or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not engage with our website, or use our services. Continued use of the website, direct engagement with us, or following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly affect the use or disclosure of your personal information will mean that you accept those changes.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by English Evolution. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed in such websites, and such websites are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. When you use a link to go from the Services to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.

Cookies

English Evolution uses “Cookies” to identify the areas of our website that you have visited. A Cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use Cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but they are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality like videos may become unavailable, or you would be required to enter your login details every time you visit the website.

We never place Personally Identifiable Information in Cookies.

Blocking and disabling cookies and similar technologies

You may set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies, but this action may block our essential cookies and prevent our website from functioning properly, and you may not be able to fully utilize all of its features and services. You should also be aware that you may lose some saved information (e.g. saved login details, site preferences) if you block cookies on your browser. Different browsers make different controls available to you. Disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser; you will need to do this yourself from within your browser; visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

Payment Details

Payment processing is handled by SureCart and its underlying payment gateway. We commit that we do not directly store your full payment card details, and any confidential payment information you provide is transmitted securely to our processor. Please refer to SureCart’s privacy policy for details on how they handle and store payment data.

Kids’ Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child under 13 has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, consistent with our Terms and Conditions.

Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Then, if you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to this or any updated Privacy Policy, you can delete your account.
