Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit and use our websites. Please read this notice very carefully.


Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Teachers’ Library collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Teachers’ Library’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Teachers’ Library’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Teachers’ Library may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Teachers’ Library also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Teachers’ Library does not use such information to identify its visitors, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Teachers’ Library’s websites choose to interact with Teachers’ Library in ways that require Teachers’ Library to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Teachers’ Library gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for Teachers’ Library.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, Teachers’ Library collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Teachers’ Library. Teachers’ Library does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.


Aggregated Statistics

Teachers’ Library may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Teachers’ Library may monitor the most popular collections on Teachers’ Library.com. Teachers’ Library may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Teachers’ Library does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Teachers’ Library uses cookies to help Teachers’ Library identify and track visitors, their usage of Teachers’ Library websites, and their website access preferences. Teachers’ Library visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Teachers’ Library’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Teachers’ Library’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on any Teachers’ Library websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Teachers’ Library and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Links to Third Party Sites

This privacy policy only applies to information collected by Teachers’ Library. This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Teachers’ Library does not own or control, or employees that Teachers’ Library does not manage. A Teachers’ Library website may contain links to third party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personally-identifying information, and Teachers’ Library and its affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personally-identifying information by any third party.

Security

All non-personally-identifying information, potentially personally-identifying and personally identifying-information described above is stored on restricted database servers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Teachers’ Library may change its privacy policy from time to time, and in Teachers’ Library’s sole discretion. Teachers’ Library encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its privacy policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this privacy policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
