About QUESTABOX and our Privacy Policy

QUESTABOX, Inc. (“QUESTABOX”, “us”, or “we”) feels strongly about protecting your privacy. We understand how important privacy is to you, and we are committed to creating a safe and secure environment for learners of all ages. This Privacy Policy applies to questabox.com, our mobile application, and online services (collectively, our “Service”), which are all owned and operated by QUESTABOX. This Privacy Policy describes how QUESTABOX collects and uses the information you provide on our Service, and describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.

Our Privacy Policy describes what information we gather from our members and others who visit and use our Service, how we use that information, and what we do to protect it. By visiting or using our Service, you consent to the information handling practices described in this Privacy Policy.
A note about Student Records: QUESTABOX may be used by schools, school districts, or teachers (collectively referred to as “Schools”) in a classroom setting. When QUESTABOX enters into a contract with Schools to provide the Service as part of the School’s educational curriculum, we may have access to personal information about students (“School Users”). Your use of our Service and any information you provide on our Service are subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service.

1. What information do we collect?

We take the information you provide to us very seriously, and we strive to put you in control of decisions around your information.
You can use some features of the Service without registering for an account or providing any other personal information. If you create an account on the QUESTABOX Service, or communicate with QUESTABOX, you may provide to QUESTABOX what is generally called “Personal Information” or “Personal Data,” such as your full name, birthdate, email address or other information that can be used to identify you.

We collect information, including personal information, in a variety of ways which may vary according to your use of the Service and your account settings. The categories of personal information we collect may include:

• Contact and profile information
• Account and authentication information
• Location information
• Information about your browser or device
• Non-personal information which may be linked to your Personal Information

Below, we describe examples of the categories of information we collect from and about you when you use our Service:

Information you provide to us and information we receive about you from others

Contact and profile information.
When you create an account on the QUESTABOX Service, or communicate with us, we may collect personal information including your name, email address, home address, and birthdate. In addition, we may ask you for personal information at other times, such as when you contact our technical support team, send us an email, complete a user survey, or otherwise communicate with QUESTABOX.

Information from Integrated Sign-On Services.
If you decide to register through or otherwise grant access to a third-party social networking or integrated service (what we call an “Integrated Service”), such as Facebook, Google, Zoom, Paypal, or similar single sign-on service, QUESTABOX may also collect Personal Information that is already associated with your Integrated Service account. You may also have the option of sharing additional information with QUESTABOX through an Integrated Service, as controlled through your settings on that Integrated Service. If you choose to provide such information, during registration or otherwise, QUESTABOX will treat the information as Personal Information and will use it in the ways described in this Privacy Policy.

Information obtained from other users.
We make available certain features on our Service that allow other users to provide us information about you. For example, a parent or teacher may provide information relating to a Child User, such as when a parent registers an account for their Child and provide us with certain information about the Child, such as user name and age. We may also ask you for their Child’s interests, strengths, and needs, learning goals, school scores, social and emotional skills, family, and more during the consultation meetings to find the best teacher matches and to provide the personalized learning experiences.
Information provided by partners and other sources.

We may also receive information from third party organizations with which we partner to provide educational services. If we combine or associate information from other sources with Personal Information that we collect through our Service, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect to enable your participation in special programs or features.
From time to time, QUESTABOX may feature a special program or activity we offer in partnership with a third party. If you participate in these special programs, QUESTABOX may collect personal information from you to facilitate those programs.

We may not be able to delete data in all instances, such as information retained in technical support logs and other business records.

We may also retain information which has been de-identified or aggregated such that it can no longer reasonably identify a particular individual. All retained personal information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

8. Our approach to Data Security

Data security is important to you, and to us.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections to your information. For example, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Information to confirm your identity, and we may require that you create and use a password to access certain parts of our Service. You should create and maintain a strong password to help ensure the security of your account.

We try to ensure that our Service and information sent to us are safe, but no security measures are perfect.

QUESTABOX uses certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Information and other information we maintain in connection with our Service. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any or all of the information you transmit to QUESTABOX, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, QUESTABOX makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. When you enter sensitive information, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or similar technologies. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and will notify you of the security incident in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our Service is operated and managed on servers located within the United States. If you choose to use our Service from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that differ from United States law, then you acknowledge that QUESTABOX will transfer your personal information to the United States for the purpose of performing the Service according to our contract (e.g., our Terms of Service) and for any other purpose for which you provide explicit, informed consent.

10. Links to other sites

The Service may link to and may be linked by websites operated by other entities or individuals. Some of these websites, such as the QUESTABOX Facebook page, may be co-branded with our name or logo. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot always control the activities of, such other third-party websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of those third-party websites.
