PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction

Summerland Education recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by visitors to and users of this Site. We created the following policy guidelines to guide our relationships with our users based on a fundamental respect for your right to privacy.

Collection and Security of Personal Information

Summerland Education collects some information voluntarily offered by users of this Site (including, without limitation, in connection with the Content and Services including the educational, instructional, and training classes, seminars, workshops, and the like, whether online or in person). Summerland Education uses reasonable precautions to maintain the security of the personal information of users and to disclose such information only to third parties after permission from the user.  However, no security system is perfect. Therefore, Summerland Education is not responsible if someone manages to circumvent our security measures and gain access to the database, including information pertaining to individual users, nor can we be responsible for any use, reproduction, or disclosure they may make of it.

Disclosure to Third Parties

Summerland Education may disclose specific user information (such as identity and contact information) if we believe that such disclosure is necessary or desirable to: (i) fulfill legal or regulatory requirements, (ii) protect our rights or those of others, (iii) prevent or mitigate harm or damage of any kind or nature, or (iv) address or seek redress for a violation of these Terms or other obligations to Summerland Education or any third party, including our partners, advertisers, and other users.

Additionally, Summerland Education may collect, analyze, and disclose to others aggregated information (which includes users’ specific information but only as an unidentifiable part of the aggregate) gathered from overall use of the Site or features, the Services, or areas of the Site. Among other purposes, this information allows us to analyze usage trends and other items so that we can maintain an effective, responsive Site.

Finally, if Summerland Education is sold (in whole or part), merged with, or otherwise acquired by a third party, then your information may be (i) disclosed, under duty of confidentiality, to a potential purchaser or merger partner as part of the pre-closing due diligence process, or (ii) included among the transferred assets.

In addition to the information that we collect, our partners, advertisers, or other third parties may collect information that you provide in connection with a co-branded page, such as third party-sponsored contest or product/service offering on the Site. In such cases, the information is the property of the sponsoring third party, as well as Summerland Education.

Your rights under these Terms are personal, nonexclusive, and nontransferable. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define or limit the scope or extent of any provision of these Terms.
