Summerhill Tutorials – Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

 

Our commitment to privacy: Summerhill Tutorials knows that protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is important to the users of this website. Collection, use and disclosure of personal information by Summerhill Tutorials are governed by these Terms of Service (the “TOS”), which includes our Privacy Policy (currently set out in Section 15 below) and any applicable privacy legislation. The TOS explains what personal information is collected by Summerhill Tutorials and how it is used. The TOS also explains how you can ask questions, make suggestions, and address concerns about our privacy practices. This TOS applies to personal information (see definition below) collected by Summerhill Tutorials, including its website. Be aware that our website may contain links to other websites provided and maintained exclusively by third parties that are not subject to the TOS. Please review the privacy policies on any external websites to determine their information handling practices.

What is “personal information”? Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual. Personal information does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization, as can be found listed on a business or organization web page.

Children: If you are under 18, please obtain your parent or guardian’s permission before you send any personal information to Summerhill Tutorials, or anyone else, over the Internet. We strongly encourage parent or guardian participation and understanding of their children’s online usage and to be aware of the activities in which their children are participating.

To make sure that Summerhill Tutorials and the content and services we provide to you are of the highest possible quality, we have developed the TOS. We welcome your feedback and ideas on how to improve the TOS. Please contact us with any and all suggestions.

By using the Summerhill Tutorials website, you are hereby agreeing to the TOS, as follows:

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein will govern the Terms of Service, and the relationship between you and Summerhill Tutorials. You and Summerhill Tutorials agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the City of Toronto, Ontario. The failure of Summerhill Tutorials to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Summerhill Tutorials’ Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets out the personal information practices for Summerhill Tutorials, including when you use www.summerhilltutorials.com (the “Site”). These practices seek to balance an individual’s right to the privacy of his or her personal information and the need for Summerhill Tutorials to collect, use, disclose, retain and otherwise manage the personal information provided through the use of the Site and personal information submitted to Summerhill Tutorials for various services offered by us. We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy we will publish an updated version of the Policy on the Site. You are responsible for reviewing the most current version of the Policy. This Policy was last amended on the date shown at the end of the Policy. By continuing to use the Site, you accept any updates to this Policy.

We do not collect credit card details when you make a purchase through the Site. Such information is collected by a third-party website that processes these payments. Summerhill Tutorials strongly encourages you to review the terms and conditions, including the privacy polices, governing such websites.

Certain other personal information may be collected on the Site without you actively providing the information by using various technologies, as described below:

Server Logs

While you use the Site, certain information is collected without you actively providing it, including information about your IP address and type of operating system, the time you spent on the Site and which pages you visited. This helps us improve our Site. This data is not used to identify individuals. We track IP addresses for: (i) troubleshooting issues; (ii) voting events, confirm people are not voting for an individual more than once; and (iii) for all people who are filling out online forms, for the purpose of spam filtering.

Demographic and Interest reporting

We may use Google Analytics features based on Display Advertising (Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting) that allows for the collection of non-personally identifiable aggregated user data; this includes aggregated gender, age, and interest behaviour data. We will use the data provided by Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to develop the site and content around our users’ interests.

In addition, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to disable tracking by Google Analytics.

• comply with any legal obligations.

Personal information collected by Summerhill Tutorials will only be used or disclosed for purposes described in this Policy or for other purposes that we have informed you of at the time of collecting that information. Before your personal information will be used or disclosed for a new purpose, we will ask you for your consent, unless use or disclosure without your consent in the circumstances is otherwise permitted or required by law, regulation or court order.

We may use or disclose your personal information to enforce or apply the TOS of the Site, to the extent that your personal information is required in order to determine whether the TOS have been violated.

We use and disclose your personal information to fulfill your requests for certain products or services or information about them, process donations, contact you in response to requests for information and to respond to voluntary comments. We may also use personal information to customize the Site to your preferences, to improve the content of our Site, and to research Site usage patterns.

As discussed in this Privacy Policy, we may share information we receive with our affiliates, which are businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that Summerhill Tutorials is part of, or that become part of that group.  Likewise, our affiliates may share information with us as well. This sharing is done in compliance with applicable laws including where such applicable laws require consent. We and our affiliates may use shared information to help provide, understand, and improve our services and their own services.

We give your information to the people and companies that help us provide, understand and improve the services we offer. For example, we may use outside vendors to help host our website, serve photos and videos, process payments, analyze data, conduct and publish research, measure the effectiveness of ads, or provide search results. In all of these cases our partners must agree to only use your information consistent with the agreement we enter into with them, as well as this Privacy Policy and the TOS.

We will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

Please be assured that your Personal Information, trust and privacy are very important to us. Unless required by law to do so, we will never disclose your personal information to others unless we have (1) obtained your consent to do so, (2) notified you via this Privacy Policy that we will do so, or (3) removed your name and any personal identifiers from the information before disclosure.

We may also disclose your information to:

• our affiliates;
• parties with whom we have contracted to provide services to us, or to you, including to process data, which may include parties who are located in countries or jurisdictions other than the one in which you reside. When this occurs, your information becomes subject to the laws of those jurisdictions;
• parties to whom we have agreed to provide anonymized and/or aggregated data, though we will remove personal identifiers before we do so; and
• parties in the context of a sale or potential sale of our business or reorganization, provided that they agreed to be bound by this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information.

We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (such as a search warrant, court order or subpoena) where we believe we are required to do so. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a commercially reasonable belief it is necessary to: (1) detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity, (2) to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations, and (3) to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also may retain information from accounts disabled for violations of our terms for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other violations of the TOS.

Storage of information

Summerhill Tutorials stores and transmits your digital information using modern security standards such as SSL Encryption. Your information is stored and protected with up to date username and passwords which are mandated to be secure, and use two-factor authentication where possible. Your data may transfer and be stored on a number of servers and storage locations including but not limited to the USA, Canada and UK. The transmission of this data is always secure and encrypted. These servers and cloud-providers are independently operated and secured. Any breaches or data loss as a result of a failure of these providers are not the responsibility of Summerhill Tutorials and its affiliates.

Refusal or Withdrawal of Consent

If you provide us with your email address, you may occasionally receive emails from Summerhill Tutorials. We may use your email address submitted through the Site for the following purposes: (i) when you are registering for a program, we may sometimes confirm your email address is accurate; (ii) we will send a confirmation or thank you email when you sign up or register for tutoring services, or if you subscribe to our newsletter; and (iii) we will contact you about other Summerhill Tutorials products and services, if you opt in to these communications. We hope you will find these emails interesting and informative. In addition, communications sent to you will also contain a message on how to opt-out of that type of communication in the future.

You may refuse to provide personal information to Summerhill Tutorials and may, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, withdraw consent at any time to our continued use and disclosure of personal information previously collected. Please note that refusing or withdrawing your consent in respect of our handling of certain personal information may result in us being unable to provide you with certain Summerhill Tutorials products and services. You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to the address at the end of this Policy.

Security

When you provide personal information through the Site, we protect your personal information by encrypting the personal information that is transmitted between you and the Site.

We will employ security measures to protect personal information in our care appropriate to the level of sensitivity of the information. We will retain your personal information only for the time it is required for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

Accessing Your Personal Information

You can ask to view personal information about you held by Summerhill Tutorials by writing to the person whose contact information is provided at the end of this Policy. You can request that corrections be made where you can show that the personal information about you that we possess is incorrect or incomplete. Please note that under certain circumstances, you may not be permitted to view your records, such as where the disclosure of your records would cause security, legal or confidentiality concerns, and including where Summerhill Tutorials is prohibited by law to disclose that to you.
