Information You Submit

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information, like your name or email address, or other information you provide which could be reasonably linked to such identifying information by us. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We will only collect, use, and share your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. This policy does not apply to websites or services or practices of companies that Follow Us doesn’t own or control, such as third party services you might access through links or other features (e.g., links added by users to comments on a student task or activity) on the Site. These other services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing them with personal information.

Information We Collect

We collect student information from our Clients, who are school districts, schools, and other educational organizations or programs that have purchased our services for the purpose of usage by the students participating in their classes or programs. The staff of these entities are provided with “Local Admin” user accounts that give them access to the information of students in their program for the purposes of managing the program, tracking tasks and activities completed by the students, and providing support services to the students. We also collect information from users when you create an account or fill out a form. When creating an account on our site, you may be asked to enter your name and email address. You may, however, visit the homepage of our site anonymously. If a Local Admin user adds location information (like a ZIP/Postal code, street address, or even just a city) into a student’s profile, we will store that information and associate it with the student’s account. We may also collect information such as school name, school district, student ID, and grade level. We use analytics tools to collect some information about your use of the Site. We use the information we get to improve the Site and to help improve your experience. In order to collect this information, cookies may be set on your browser or mobile device or read if they are already there.

How We Use the Information Collected

Follow Us does not sell or rent any of your personal information to any third party for any purpose, including for advertising or marketing purposes. We use the information we collect from you to provide you with the best CarrotPath experience.

We may use the information we collect, including information which identifies or together with other information may identify (“Personal Information“) you in the following ways: 1) to improve our Site and your experience, for example through the optimization of layout for desktop and mobile devices pending on volume usages; 2) to provide technical support and assist in the development of Site components; 3) to ensure that the Site functions well and to develop new products and services; 4) to analyze how you use the Site.

How You Can Correct or Update Your Information

Clients (Local Admin users) may update or change their information by contacting us, or in some cases, may update their own records by signing into the relevant areas of the Site and updating that information online. Only Local Admin users can make updates to the information included within student profiles; while students cannot update the information in their student profile directly, they can ask their Local Admin to make any needed updates. In some cases (such as for items within My Tasks), Student users can make updates by signing into the relevant area of the Site and updating that information online.
