Information We May Gather and How We May Gather It

When You Request Access to Our Website Content and Events. We may request your personal information, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and school or district information when you access certain content made available on our company website. Likewise, we may request your personal information when you register to attend one of our in-person or virtual events. We may also ask you to create a user account with us if you request access to certain resources made available on our company website.

When You Subscribe to Our Email Lists. You may voluntarily subscribe to our email list(s) to stay informed about our company, events, services and products. In addition to your email address, we may request you to provide your name and school or district information.  To be removed from our list, you can click on the “unsubscribe” link in one of our email messages or send your request via email to support@thinksyncedu.com with “REMOVE ME” in the subject line. Please note that your opt-out will apply to communications that are primarily of a marketing nature; we may still send you communications if necessary to respond to your inquiries or requests or provide you with important notices regarding a service or product you have requested or have received.

When Third Parties Share Your Information with Us. We may obtain your personal information from a third party to whom you have given permission to share your personal information. For example, if you subscribe to a resource maintained by a third party and consent to that third party’s sharing your personal information with us, we may receive such information from that third party. We may also obtain information about you from third-party databases or services. We may use this information to improve the accuracy of our records. 

With Automated Technologies. Just as other service providers do, ThinkSync may gather information that is generated automatically when a user interacts with our company website and email communications, such as IP address, browser type, information about how, how often and when a user engages with our company website and whether an email message from us has been opened. ThinkSync may gather this information using cookies (small data files on your computer’s browser), web beacons (invisible electronic images embedded on web pages) and similar technologies. In some cases, third parties may deliver cookies to your browser on our behalf. 

Some of these third party technologies may collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), which uses cookies to count the number of visitors to our website and how they engage with it (learn more about Google’s practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US ). 

You can opt out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. ThinkSync is not responsible for the effectiveness of any browser setting or third-party opt-out options, and the functionality of our website may be affected by your settings and opt-out choices. 

Please note that our website does not respond to “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals at this time. If we do respond to DNT signals in the future, we will update this Website Privacy Policy to describe how we do so.

How We May Use Information

How We May Share Information

We do not sell, rent or market your personal information to other companies without permission. We may share your personal information as follows:

With Our Service Providers. When necessary, we may disclose personal information to a third party that helps us operate our company website or facilitates the activities described in this Website Privacy Policy.

With Content and Event Partners. When you sign-up with us to access certain content contributed by a third party or register for an event co-organized or involving third parties, we may share your name and email address with such third parties, but only after notifying you and giving you an opportunity to not have your information shared.  

With Your Permission if You Provide a Testimonial. With your permission, we may display a personal testimonial or endorsement from you about our products and services on our company website and in internal team materials, and we may include your name and school or district if you give us permission.

As Required by Law or to Ensure Safety, Security and Integrity. We may be required to disclose or grant access to personal information to law enforcement, government authorities, and other parties in order to comply with law enforcement requests and legal processes. We may also do so to protect users’, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety.

As Part of a Business Transition. ​​​​In the event ThinkSync goes through a business transition, such as a merger with, acquisition by or sale of all or a portion of its assets to another company, or other corporate change, your personal information may be disclosed or transferred to the other company and other relevant parties as part of the process in accordance with applicable law.  Any successor entity would be required to comply with applicable law in its handling of personal information.

How We Protect Information

We are committed to protecting the personal information we gather. We implement administrative, technical, and physical security procedures reasonably designed to protect such information. We use security safeguards such as physical access controls to buildings and files, data encryption, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptography, two-factor authentication, and firewalls to help prevent unauthorized access to the personal information we maintain. Please note that even with safeguards, neither the Internet nor any data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We keep your personal information for only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Website Privacy Policy. We may also retain your personal information to comply with our tax, accounting and financial reporting obligations and as otherwise required by law.
