Your personal information is used in association with the software license granted to you. You are welcome to review the terms and conditions of that license here. We use your information to contact you related to maintaining your license and access to our software as well as provide you updates as to product improvements, etc.
In addition to being associated with your license, we also maintain a database of active and inactive users for the purposes of tracking site traffic, application interactions, etc. This data is then used to make relevant improvements, fixes, or enhancements to the software tools we provide to you.

Any and all stored information is backed up to multiple locations in order to ensure data continuity.
The Comprehensible Classroom strives to keep your personal information accurate and up-to-date. To that end, you are welcome to inquire as to what information we currently have in our possession about you. In addition, so that we can provide you with the best possible service, we ask that you update your information when it changes so any information used to serve you remains as accurate as possible.
Finally, as previously mentioned, we do collect data about your usage while on the site. This data may or may not be directly associated with your username and other identifiable information. This is to allow us to continually improve our products and services over time and debug potential issues which you may encounter.
7. ADDITIONAL USES & DISCLOSURES
Unless otherwise described in this Policy, we may also share the information that we collect from you through our Platform as follows:
- Affiliates. We may share your information with any of our affiliates.
- Service Providers. We may provide access to your information to select third - parties who perform services on our behalf. These third - parties provide a variety of services to us including but not limited to: billing, sales, marketing, advertising, market research, fulfillment, data storage, analysis and processing, identity verification, fraud and safety protection and legal services. As we retain new service providers, we generally seek contractual assurances from these service providers that they will not use you information in any manner other than to help us provide you with the services and products available from The Comprehensible Classroom.
- Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information when required by law or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process we receive; (b) establish or exercise our legal rights, including enforcing and administering agreements with users; or (c) defend Classroom against legal claims. If we are required by law to disclose your information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you unless (1) we believe in our sole discretion that providing notice could create a risk of injury or death, or that harm or fraud could be directed to The Comprehensible Classroom or its users; or (2) we are precluded from providing notice by law. We will attempt to provide the notice by email if you have given us an email address. While you may challenge the disclosure request, please be advised we may still be legally required to turn over your information.
- Prevention/Investigations Pertaining to Fraudulent or Illegal Activities. We may disclose your information to whomever necessary when we believe it appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use or any other legal terms governing use of our Platform, and/or to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of other users.
8. CHILD SUPERVISION
While we certainly don’t have any “mature” or otherwise “adult” content on our site; the site, and the business, are not intended for use by children. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (16 CFR Part 312), we do not collect or store any personal information in regards to children under the age of 13 years old. Any information from a minor under the age of 13 to which we discover having received it in violation of this policy will be deleted including any and all of that information/accounts associated with this minor. If you believe we have any information from or about anyone under the age of 13, please contact us using the contact information below.
9. SECURITY
We employ physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. The Comprehensible Classroom may use encryption, passwords, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. No security measures, however, are 100% failsafe. Therefore, we do not promise or guarantee, and thus, you should not expect your personal information or communications will not be collected, disclosed and/or used by others. You should take steps to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a strong password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, keeping your log-in and password private, and not recycling passwords from other websites or accounts. The Comprehensible Classroom is not responsible for the unauthorized use of your information nor for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on your Account via unauthorized password activity.
10 .NOTIFICATION RELATED TO A KNOWN BREACH
While unlikely, in the event of a data breach, we will endeavor to notify you of the exposure of your personal information within a reasonable period of time (a) after having discovered, or being notified of the breach, and (b) after we have stabilized the Platform from additional breaches. Once the Platform has been re-secured and is no longer susceptible to further data breaches, you will be notified using the information you have provided to us in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
11. COOKIE POLICY
Cookies, not the kind you eat, consist of portions of code installed in the browser that assist the owner in providing the service according to the purposes described. Some of the purposes for which cookies are installed may also require the user’s consent.
