You acknowledge and agree that TeachTown may provide access to Student Data to our employees, affiliates and to certain third-party service providers which have a legitimate need to access such information in order to provide their services to us.

We also are not required to delete data that has been de-identified such that it can no longer be used to identify an individual. A User seeking to modify, correct or delete personal information about a Student without the requisite admin privileges over the Student Data will be instructed to contact the Educational Institution, Educator or Parent (as applicable) to discuss data deletion or modification. We do not delete or de-identify any Student Data associated with an active Educational Institution contract except at the direction of the Educational Institution. The Educational Institution is responsible for maintaining current student rosters and removing Student Data which the Educational Institution no longer needs for an educational purpose through the Service itself, if applicable, or by submitting a deletion request. We will retain Student Data for a period of two years after termination of the contract to continue to provide the Educational Institution access to its records and aggregate reports, after which the Student Data will be deleted and/or de-identified, unless we receive a deletion request prior to that date.

4.12 Changes to Student Data Processing.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any change that may involve collecting, using, storing or sharing Student Data in a materially different way than was disclosed to you previously, so that you have sufficient time to evaluate the change in practice.

You may request previous versions of this Agreement by contacting us at serviceterms@teachtown.com.

We have implemented administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to secure the Student Data in our possession and control from unauthorized access, disclosure and use. If an unauthorized party gains access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a “Security Event”), that we have collected or received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the Education Institution. If, due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of TeachTown or its agents, a notification to an individual, organization or government agency is required under applicable privacy laws, the Education Institution shall be responsible for the timing, content, and method of any such legally-required notice and compliance with such laws and TeachTown shall indemnify the Education Institution for reasonable costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of TeachTown or its agents, TeachTown shall reasonably cooperate with Education Institution’s investigation of the Security Event, upon request at Education Institution ‘s reasonable expense, but TeachTown shall not indemnify an Education Institution for costs associated with the Security Event.
