Thanks for your interest in PAIRIN (“PAIRIN”, “us”, “we” or “our”) and our Service, as described in the PAIRIN Terms of Service, to which this Privacy Policy is attached.

The PAIRIN Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes the Information that you entrust to us and explains the steps we take to protect it.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated in and subject to the PAIRIN Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”), to which this Privacy Policy is attached as Attachment A. Capitalized and other terms that are not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service.

At PAIRIN, we take data security and the privacy of your students very seriously. Protecting your Information, including personally identifiable information (“PII”) of your employees, contractors and applicants, is at the very core of what we do. Once the connection to PAIRIN is made, your data is kept separate from other Subscribing Organizations, so there is no way for other PAIRIN customers to view your students’ PII. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, PAIRIN does not share, sell, or use Employee Information for any purpose other than to provide and enhance the Services, including that PAIRIN does not share, sell or use School Student Information for marketing purposes.

WHEN AND IF WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

PAIRIN will hold all PII confidential pursuant to applicable provisions of state and federal laws. We may, however, disclose the Information that you provide to us (including PII) in the following circumstances:

Any Information, including PII that you voluntarily choose to leave accessible in a public area (such as leaving your computer unprotected and the Service open) or available to other users, will be available to anyone who you allow access to that Information.

We work with third-party service providers to provide application development, website hosting (such as Heroku and Amazon Web Services), maintenance, and other related services for us. To the extent it is necessary for these third-party service providers to fulfill their contractual obligations to us, these third parties may have access to or process the PII that you provide to us. Any such third parties have security policies that include requirements and protections as strict as our Security Policy. Our Security Policy can be found here. The third party recipients are limited to using the Information for the sole purpose for which it was provided and are subject to confidentiality agreements.

We reserve the right to disclose your Information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability; to protect us and others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity; to assist or comply with government enforcement agencies; to protect the security or integrity of the Service; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of PAIRIN, our users, or others.

If PAIRIN, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, the assignee will assume and be subject to the same obligations of the Terms of Service, this Privacy Policy and our Security Policy that we are obligated. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of PAIRIN may continue to use the Information you provide to us as set forth in this Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
