Your Consent

By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your information by EDUCATION STATION.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Cookies

We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Third party vendors, including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Education Station website. Users may opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All browser and other network connections to the Website and to our servers through our Application are encrypted using SSL technology. All credit card processing is handled by a third party payment gateway that is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI – DSS). Any information sent to EDUCATION STATION in a physical format such as paper, is scanned into an electronic format and physical copies are securely destroyed. All electronic information is stored securely using industry standard access control and data protection mechanisms. EDUCATION STATION deploys various security measures to protect the integrity of our systems, including intrusion prevention and detection systems.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website or the Application, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask that you use a unique password for our site and that you not share your password with anyone. To protect your security, you may be prompted to change your password from time to time. In keeping with security best practices, EDUCATION STATION stores a cryptographic hash of your password rather than the password itself. If you forget your password we can help you reset your account and choose a new password, but we will not be able to retrieve your old password.

Record Retention and Destruction Policy

The purpose of this Policy is to ensure that necessary records and documents of the EDUCATION STATION are adequately protected and maintained and to ensure that records that are no longer needed by EDUCATION STATION or are of no value are discarded at the proper time. This Policy is also for the purpose of aiding our clients in understanding their obligations in retaining electronic documents - including e-mail, Web files, text files, sound and movie files, PDF documents, and all Microsoft Office or other formatted files.

This Policy applies to all physical and electronic records generated in the course of the Foundation's operation, including both original documents and reproductions.
