Privacy Policy
Overview
At LearningBridge, your privacy and security is a top priority. We have therefore created and adopted the following policy for personal information received from our users. This policy describes why we collect the information we do and what we do with the information we collect.
Scope of Policy
This policy applies to the entire staff of LearningBridge. It does not apply to our customers running a survey on our site. If you have privacy concerns outside of our scope, then you should contact the individuals responsible for running the survey.
Information
Personal Information
We collect the names and gender of our users to make our surveys more customizable and targeted. We use it strictly to determine how the text is displayed/sent for a survey or invitation.
Email Addresses
At LearningBridge, we collect e-mail addresses strictly for the use of running surveys.
LearningBridge will:
- Send you an invitation to take a survey that you are invited to.
- Send you reminders to take any surveys not yet completed.
- Store your e-mail address in a database accessible only by the LearningBridge staff.
- Make your e-mail address available to individuals responsible for those administrating the survey.
- Store the password you select for use in any future surveys you are invited to.
LearningBridge will not:
- Sell or otherwise distribute your e-mail address or any individual user information beyond LearningBridge.
- Send you advertisements.
Password Protection
We often need to identify individuals with unique log-in codes and passwords in order to insure confidential surveys and reports. To do this, we assign randomly generated passwords that users may change when they first log in to our site. Passwords are stored in a database available to the LearningBridge staff only, which is housed in a secure area and protected by a number of network security implementations.
User-defined passwords are carefully restricted, and if users forget their password a new randomly generated password is provided. At no time are user-defined passwords ever transmitted to or shared with anyone outside of LearningBridge staff.
Network Information
Cookies
Cookies are used to store information about a user for a site, so each time the user returns for a visit the site has access to the stored information. While cookies can be very useful and enhance a user's browsing experience, LearningBridge does not employ the use of cookies. All information is stored on our servers.
3rd Party Advertising Cookies
Some companies use Cookies to "track" users and create profiles of them as they browse the web, in an attempt to deliver targeted advertising. Since we do not use cookies, we similarly do not track users with them.
IP addresses
Every time you access our site, your computer sends us your IP address. When our server talks back to your computer, we send you ours. It's a reciprocal process.
When you log into our site, we store this in our "login" log file. We store this information for security measures. We also use this number to count how many people visit our site.
Security
Security Measures Taken
Our servers are hosted in a secured server room, and are always running with the latest available software patches installed. We have a firewall to prevent unauthorized access to our servers. Our administrative passwords are changed regularly. For more about data security or how your data is protected on our servers, visit our web-hosting providers web site at: http://www.rackspace.com.
Submitting information to our website
The default log in access to our site uses the same 128 bit encryption used by online financial institutions and merchants. This means that all information exchanged between end users and our servers is encrypted and secure.
Unfortunately, email is an insecure method of communication. This is why we never transmit user-defined passwords via email and prompt users to change their randomly-defined passwords when they first log in.
Notes
Common Sense
Nobody needs to know your password but you. We will never e-mail you asking for it.
