By submitting an email address or otherwise submitting content on the Website, you agree to receive marketing emails and other information that may be of interest to you from us. You may opt-out of receiving emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email.

Changes To This Policy

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use personally identifiable information in a way that materially differs from this Policy, including sharing such information with more third parties, we will post such changes on this page and provide you the opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses.

It is possible at times when collecting non-personally identifiable information through automatic means that we may unintentionally collect or receive personally identifiable information that is mixed in with the non-personally identifiable information. While we will make reasonable efforts to prevent such incidental data collection in this process, the possibility still exists.

If you believe that we have inadvertently collected your personal information, please notify us at: info@shipschools.com.

Cookies And Similar Technologies

"Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a service for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that service. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser; however, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of the Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to the Website.

Certain features of the Website may use local stored objects (or "Flash cookies") to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on the Website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as "web beacons" (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Website, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related site statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain site content and verifying system and server integrity). We may use cookies (and similar items such as web beacons, etc.) on the Website to customize your visit and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our services. We may also use and place cookies (and similar items) on your computer or mobile device from our third-party service providers, such as an analytics provider that helps us manage and analyze Website usage, as described more fully below. In addition, our advertisers and business partners may set cookies and similar items when you use the Website.

You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use the Website, but it may interfere with some of its functionality.

Analytics And Conversion Tracking

We may use analytics services that use cookies, JavaScript, and similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by these services about your use of the Website (including your internet protocol address ("IP Address") or a truncated version of your IP Address) is transmitted to and stored by analytics service providers on their servers. Those service providers will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your, and other users', use of the Website, compiling reports for us on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

We may collect information about your computer or your mobile device, including your IP Address, operating system, and browser type, for system administration and for the purpose of creating informational reports. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual. For example, we may use cookies on our site for Google Analytics (the "Analytics Service"), and we may also use Google conversion tracking and/or similar services to help us understand your and other users' use of the Website. The Analytics Service is a web-based analytics tool that helps website owners understand how visitors engage with their website. The Analytics Service allows customers to view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so that they can improve it. Like many services, the Analytics Service uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site.

The Analytics Service collects information anonymously. They report website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of the Analytics Service without affecting how you visit the Website. For more information about how to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Automatically Collected Information

When you access the Website or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your system by using cookies and other types of tracking technologies. This "automatically collected" information may include your IP Address, a unique user ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language, referring and exit pages, platform type, version of software installed, system type, the content, and pages that you access on the Website, the number of clicks, the amount of time spent on pages, the dates, and times that you visit the Website, and other similar information. Depending on the law of your country of residence, your IP Address may legally be considered personally identifiable information.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

  • Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe's site. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
  • Disclosure of Your Information for Third-Party Advertising. If you do not want us to share your personal information with unaffiliated or non-agent third parties for promotional purposes, you can opt-out by logging into the site and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile, checking or unchecking the relevant boxes, or by sending us an email with your opt-out request to info@shipschools.com.
  • Promotional Offers from the Website. If you do not wish to have your email address or other contact information used by the Website to promote our own, our affiliates', subsidiaries', or third parties' products or services, you can opt-out by logging into the Website and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile by checking or unchecking the relevant boxes, or by sending an email stating your request to info@shipschools.com. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to the Website as a result of a product or service contract purchase, registration, product service experience, or other relationship or transactional purpose.
  • Targeted Advertising. If you do not want us to use information that we collect or that you provide to us to deliver advertisements according to our advertising partners' target-audience preferences, you can opt-out by checking the relevant box through your browser's settings tab. For this opt-out to function, you may have to set your browser to accept all browser cookies.
  • Text Messages and Push Notifications for Transactional Purposes. By providing us with your telephone number, you are authorizing us, our service providers, and their and our respective affiliated companies to deliver or cause to be delivered SMS text messages, texts, push notifications, and voice message notifications for transactional purposes. Please note that standard message rates and data charges from your cellular service provider may apply to sending and/or receiving text messages. You are solely responsible for such message rates and data charges. The use of SMS text messaging services shall be limited to transactional purposes only. We will not sell any information obtained through the use of SMS text messages.

We do not control third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") on the NAI's site.

California residents may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see Your California Privacy Rights below for more information. Nevada residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A may submit a request to info@shipschools.com. However, please know we do not currently sell data triggering the statutory opt-out requirements.

Several other states (including, but not limited to: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia) have enacted state privacy laws to provide their state residents with rights such as:

  • Data portability;
  • Opt-out of personal data processing for sales; and
  • Either limit or require consent to process sensitive personal data.

Security

The security of your personally identifiable information is very important to us. When we collect your personally identifiable information online, we use reasonable efforts to protect it from unauthorized access. However, due to the inherent open nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee that your personally identifiable information will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your use of the Website demonstrates your assumption of this risk.

We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your personally identifiable information. For more information on protecting your privacy, please visit www.ftc.gov/privacy.

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 site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

Your Disclosures in Blogs and Other Social Media

You should be aware that personally identifiable information which you voluntarily include and transmit on the Website or that you share in an open forum such as an in-person panel or survey or on social media, may be viewed and used by others without any restrictions. We are unable to control such uses of your personally identifiable information, and by using the Website or any other online services you assume the risk that the personally identifiable information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties for any number of purposes.

  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action. We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

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

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. You may, however, make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child. You may only submit a request to know or delete for the same person twice within a 12-month period. 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. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

Your request to know or delete must:

  • sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include, but shall not be limited to:
  • The type of information given.
  • Approximate dates when such personal information was requested.
  • Where the data was collected.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

 

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

Response Timing and Format

will confirm receipt of your request to know or request to delete within ten business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten-day timeframe, please contact us by email at: info@shipschools.com. 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. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another forty-five 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 our receipt of your request. 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.
