Introduction
Hourglass Education Technology Solutions, LLC (“Company” or “We“) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website www.hourglassets.com (our “Website“) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Company provides applications and software (our “Applications”) to assist school districts, schools, and other educational partners (collectively referred to as “Educational Organizations”) access, use and analyze data with the goal of improving student learning outcomes (collectively, our “Service”). Educational Organizations collect information about students and their guardians, teachers, and other individuals which is then stored and processed by Company. In these situations, the Educational Organization rather than Company decides the reasons information will be collected and processed. Company’s privacy and data security practices regarding such information are governed by the contract entered into between Company and the Educational Organization and applicable law. During the course of offering certain Applications to Educational Organizations, we may have access to the personal information related to students (“Student Data”). We consider Student Data to be highly confidential and special privacy policies apply to such data. Please see Student Data for information about how we collect and use Student Data gathered during the provision of our Service to Educational Organizations.

This policy does not cover the practices of companies that Company does not own or control, or individuals who Company does not manage.

This policy applies to information we collect:

• Any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website.

If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, during the court of providing our Service to Educational Organizations, Company may collect information from children but only at the direction of a school or educational institution for the purpose of providing the Company’s Service.

Student Data We Collect
During the course of offering certain applications to Educational Organizations, we may have access to Student Data. “Student Data” is any information that is directly related to an identifiable current or former student that is maintained by a school, school district, or related entity or organization, or by us. Student Data may include “educational records” as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). We consider Student Data to be highly confidential.

Company has access to Student Data only as requested by the Educational Organization as needed to perform the Service. The type of Student Data we collect will depend on how the Educational Organization uses the Service and the particular applications we provide to the Educational Organization, but could include the following information about students and their guardians:

• Demographic information including name, mailing address, email address, and date of birth;
• Student education records including your student’s grades, class enrollment, and behavioral records;
• Health-related information including your student’s immunizations and vision and hearing screening results;
• System usernames and passwords.

In many instances, we receive only de-identified or aggregate information about students from an Educational Organization, such that we would not be able to identify an individual student. From time to time, we may collect information from other sources, including from non-school sources or from the students themselves. If we combine or associate information from other sources with Student Data we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as Student Data under our policies and agreements. Please talk to your Educational Organization if you have questions about the type of personal information the Educational Organization provides to services like Company.

How Student Data Is Used
All Student Data that we have access to, if any, is owned and controlled by the Educational Organization. We use such data to provide the Service to the Educational Organization and for other limited purposes permitted by our agreements with the Educational Organizations, such as to evaluate, improve, and develop our products, applications and services. We will never use Student Data for marketing purposes or to engage in targeted advertising.

Company only shares Student Data in a few limited circumstances, as described below.

• As needed to perform the Service and/or at the direction of an Educational Organization and as authorized by our contract with the Educational Organization.
• With our trusted vendors, third party service providers and other individuals who perform services on our behalf, but only if such providers have a need to access such information for the purposes of carrying out their work for us and do so under strict confidentiality and data security terms.
• We may be required to share information with law enforcement or other third parties when compelled to do so by court order or other legal process, to comply with statutes or regulations, to enforce our Terms of Use, or if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of our visitors.
• In the event of a change of control: If we sell, divest or transfer the business or a portion of our business, we may transfer information, provided that the new provider has agreed to data privacy standards no less stringent than our own. We may also transfer personal information, under the same conditions, in the course of mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, dissolutions, reorganizations, liquidations, similar transactions or proceedings involving all or a portion of our business. In either case, we will use our best efforts to provide you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of the transfer of Student Data by deleting your Student Data information and terminating your account.

We do not rent or sell Student Data for marketing purposes. We do not use or disclose Student Data for behavioral targeting of advertisements to students. We do not build personal profiles of students other than for supporting authorized educational purposes or as authorized by the parent or student.

We will not knowingly retain student personal information beyond the time period required to support the authorized educational purposes, or as authorized by the parent or student.
