Technology Education is a site
where people can come to find information about
technology education. We encourage everyone to know how
to appropriately safeguard his or her privacy when
exploring the Internet. To this end we are fully
committed to supporting the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998. Our information collection
practices are described below. We urge visitors to check
with their parent or guardian before entering any
information on any web site and we urge parents and
guardians to discuss with their children restrictions
regarding the online release of personal information to
anyone they don't know.
What Information Do We Collect?
Our policy is to create web site content that requires
minimal collection of information from our visitors,
specifically no personal information when navigating the
basic site. However, Technology Education occasionally
may request limited personal information, as explained
below, in order to complete a request or task, or to
conduct a sweepstakes or contest. We do not make
disclosure of more information than is reasonably
necessary as a condition for participation.
Contests and Sweepstakes
Those who are eligible for sweepstakes entry can
enter online to win prizes by providing minimal personal
information. All the information collected by Technology
Education during the conduct of a contest or sweepstakes
is used only for the purpose of conducting the contest
or sweepstakes. The information collected in our contest
or sweepstakes may be used to contact entrants about
events associated with the contest or sweepstakes for
which they submitted their personal information.
Entrants may be notified of the start of similar
contests or sweepstakes, the posting of winners' lists,
prize award ceremonies, and pictures posted associated
with these events. All entrants may "opt-out" of this
notification practice. Those who opt-out will have their
personal information removed from the database upon
completion of the contest or sweepstakes.
Teacher Survey/Order Materials
Those teachers who are eligible can request our free
Technology Education materials via our online order
form. All the information collected by Technology
Education is used for the purpose of shipping the free
materials to their school. The information collected may
be used to contact teachers about events associated with
Technology Education for which they submitted their
personal information. All teachers may "opt-out" of this
notification practice.
Other E-mail Requests
From time to time Technology Education conducts
contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions that may be
of interest to friends and acquaintances of our
visitors. As a service to our visitors Technology
Education may offer to send an e-mail that informs
others about a particular contest, sweepstakes, or
promotion on behalf of a visitor. Information gathered
for this purpose is only used for this purpose and
deleted after the e-mail is sent. Data are gathered
about the number of requests without linking the data to
specific requests. If you no longer wish to receive
Technology Education e-mail updates, please e-mail us at
removeemail@teched101.com.
Use of Information
Technology Education does not disclose to third
parties personally identifiable information that
visitors have provided without specific permission from
the visitors. We may disclose personally
identifiable information to third parties when required
by law or is pertinent to judicial or government
investigations or proceedings, or otherwise necessary to
protect our web site or the safety of its users.
