Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us.  This Privacy Policy sets forth Everyday Speech’s (“Everyday Speech”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) privacy practices in connection with Everyday Speech’s services and features (“Services”) available through our mobile application (the “App”) and through on Everyday Speech’s web-based social learning platform (together with the App, the “Platform”).  The Platform is located at https://www.everydayspeech.com/ and any related sub-domains (the “Website(s)”) and provided through such Website and through our App, as made available by Everyday Speech from time to time. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by Everyday Speech from users of our Services and visitors to our Platform or Website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by Everyday Speech in other ways, including offline.  Access to the Services is provided pursuant to the Terms of Service accessible on our Platform and Website.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy, shall have the meaning set forth in the Terms of Service.

What information does Everyday Speech collect?

User-provided Information

We may collect your personal information in the following circumstances:

• When you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you register for an account by creating a username and password (“Everyday Speech Login Credentials”), send us an email or post information or other content to our Site or Service.
• When you choose to sign into or create an Everyday Speech account.
• If you apply for or purchase a Service requiring billing or payment information on our Platform, we require that you provide certain additional Personal Information, including your address, phone number, and credit card number.   This information is necessary to process your requests and to contact you.

We also retain information made available to us by teachers or school systems, to enable them to record and recall information about Everyday Speech content that has been made available to their students. Everyday Speech does not mandate the form of the information provided, and we cannot determine whether student names or other identifiable information will be provided. This information is maintained solely as a convenience for the teacher or school system, and is not otherwise used by us or shared with third parties.

We may also use the information you provided us to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices and marketing promotions.

All personal data we collect from you in this manner is done with your consent.

Automatically Collected Information

When you utilize the Services, we also receive certain other information about you or your use of the Services.  Such other information may be collected using various technologies, including:

Logs: We track the data you see in Everyday Speech and how you interact with it by automatically collecting certain information such as, the pages you visit or features you use within the Services, the date and time of your activities on the Services, the URLs from the websites you visit before and after navigating to the Services, your software and hardware attributes (including operating system type and version, App version, device type, and device identifiers, including IDFA and/or Advertising IDs), your browser type and version, your interaction with our Platform, and your general geographic location derived through your IP address (e.g., your city, state, or metropolitan region). To obtain such information, we may use web logs or applications that monitor use of our Platform and/or recognize your device and gather information about its online activity. We treat this information as private data if we combine it with or link it to any of your personal information. Otherwise, it is used in aggregate form only. We use tracking data about users in an aggregated form to inform us about how Everyday Speech is being used to help us provide a better user experience.

Cookies: Like almost all websites today, Everyday Speech uses cookies to determine whether you are logged in on your computer and to recognize repeat visitors. We send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our Services. Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a site. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them).  If you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by Everyday Speech, or by any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. Please note, if you choose to disable cookies, some of our Services may not work properly or at all. You may see the cookies we use and our policy regarding cookies here.

Web beacons: The Services or the emails that you receive from us may use an application known as a “web beacon” (also known as a “clear gif” or “pixel tag”). A web beacon is an electronic file that usually consists of a single-pixel image. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information. For example, it allows an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.

Local storage: We may collect and store information (including personal information about you) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches.

Everyday Speech keeps such personal information contained in your cookies and obtained through the other tracking technologies confidential.  We do not set any cookies outside of the everydayspeech.com domain.

Additionally, you may encounter embedded content from other websites that behave in the exact same way as if you had visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor use with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.

Our Platform does not collect precise information about your location, or the location of your computer or mobile device.

How is the information used?

We use information about you collected through our Services for the following purposes:

• to provide our Services or information you request, and to process and complete any transactions;
• to respond to your emails, submissions, questions, comments, requests, and complaints and provide customer service;
• to monitor and analyze usage of the Services and trends, and to personalize and improve our Services and our users’ experiences on our Services, such as content, or features that match their profiles or interests, and to increase the functionality and user friendliness of our Services;
• to send you confirmations, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages and otherwise facilitate your use of, and our administration and operation of, our Services;
• to track the use of our content, such as which videos have been watched the most, or how many users have used our homework feature;
• to track user sessions, such as which teachers use our product and when;
• to contact you about the Services in which you have expressed interest or that might be of interest to you; and
• for any other purpose for which the information was collected.

Sharing Information

Everyday Speech exists to make your professional network more actionable, not to sell your data.  However, we share personal information as follows:

Service Providers, Agents and Related Third Parties: We sometimes hire other companies to help us provide the Services to you.  Examples include third-party payment processors, companies who send emails on our behalf, and providers who are working with us in connection with the operation of our Services. Such service providers are only provided with the information they need to perform their specific function, will only use your personal information to perform the services requested by us, and we make efforts to ensure they are subject to confidentiality restrictions consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Requests to other Everyday Speech users (and non-users): Some communications you initiate through Everyday Speech (e.g., an invitation sent to a non-user or a task you assign to another Everyday Speech user) will list your primary email address and name in the header of the message.

Facebook Custom Audiences and Similar Programs:  We may partner with Facebook and other social media partners to deliver advertisements to our users via the Facebook Custom Audiences program or similar third-party programs.  In order to identify and reach our users on Facebook or another third-party service, we may share information such as an email address or phone number with Facebook or another third-party service.  For more information about custom audience targeting and how to adjust your social media advertising preferences, please review the privacy policy of your social media provider.

With Your Consent: We may share your personal information when you give us your consent to do so, including if we notify you on our Services that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information.

Legal Processes: We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or when we believe in good faith that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so or that doing so is reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with the law or legal processes or respond to lawful requests or legal authorities, including responding to lawful subpoenas, warrants or court orders; when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the rights, property or safety of others; to enforce or apply our Privacy Policy, our Terms of Service or our other policies or agreements.

Transfers: We might sell or buy business assets.  We may share your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition, or in any other situation where personal information may be disclosed or transferred as one of the business assets of us.

Analytics: We partner with certain third parties to collect the other information discussed above and to engage in analysis, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use web logs or web beacons, and they may set and access cookies or use similar tracking technologies on your computer or other device. In particular, our Services use Google Analytics and Mixpanel

Online Interest-Based Advertising: The Services also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect your other information for use in online interest-based advertising. For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited our website or used our mobile app to target online ads to you. In addition, our third-party advertising networks might use information about your use of our website or app to help target advertisements based on your online activity in general. For information about interest-based advertising practices, including privacy and confidentiality, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website or the Digital Advertising Alliance website.

The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies, and not this privacy policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer or other device, you may set your browser to block cookies. Additionally, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance by opting out here.  If you are an individual of the EU or Switzerland, you may opt-out here.  Although our Services currently do not respond to “do not track” browser headers, you can limit tracking through these third-party programs and by taking the other steps discussed above.

Please note that the opt-out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices.  If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile identifiers, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will have to opt out again.

Aggregated information: We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners. Such aggregated information does not identify individual users.  We do not link this aggregate user data with personal information.  Our Privacy Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate user data.

We periodically share aggregated, anonymized data with third parties to help us improve our Applications and our Services.

We will share your identifiable personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement. Specifically, we may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected personal information:

• as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
• when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
• with trusted services providers who work on our behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
• if Everyday Speech LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of this information, as well as any choices you may have regarding this information.

Links

Our Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personal information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website or our Platform.

Children and Students

We do not use our Platform to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at [email protected]. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.

Further, we do not use our Platform to collect or generate education records under the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), 20 U.S.C. §1232g, and our users are instructed not to store such records on our Platform.

Security

We have implemented multiple controls and security measures to safeguard personal and sensitive information on and off-line. Security measures include the use of secure networks and servers, encryption, anti-virus protection, firewalls, vulnerability scans, and other technology. All collected data is protected in a monitored, secure environment and ONLY accessible by authorized our personnel. Generally, collected data is retained for up to 60 days, although we may retain them longer if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so by law, at the request of law enforcement authorities, or to protect our rights or the rights of our customers or third parties.

Only personnel who need off-line secure information to perform a specific job (for example, a Customer Service Specialist) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Communications from the Site

On occasion, it is necessary to send out service-related announcements. These communications are not used for promotional purposes. If our services are temporarily disabled, we may send notification via email. Users may not opt-out of these communications.

You may opt out of receiving marketing or promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or by emailing us at [email protected]

Opting Out of Further Collection

You can stop all further collection of information by one of our Applications easily by uninstalling the Application. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network. You can also stop further collection about you from our Website by ceasing to visit the Website.

Please note that these steps will not automatically result in the deletion of information we have already collected about you. If you are a resident of California, see our “California Privacy Addendum” for information on how to do so.

Notification of Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy at https://everydayspeech.com/privacy-policy/.

Your Rights and Choices 

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  
  • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights 

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 617-564-3143
• Visiting http://everydayspeech.com/contact

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
