Inspired Classroom, MentorIC Terms of Use

LAST UPDATED: September 10, 2019

Thank you for using MentorICs!

We are pleased to help support your work as you think to S T R E T C H your brain.

MentorIC is a product of Inspired Classroom, LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). We provide a collaborative platform on the MentorIC.com website (“Site”), the MentorIC mobile app ("App"), and any associated services (collectively, the "Service"). You accept these terms of use ("Terms") by creating an account on the Service or through your use of the Service.

"You" may be a:

     "Manager" (i.e., an adult over the age of 18, a mentor, other School representative, organization, non-profit, researcher or business that subscribes to the Service with the administrative right to create, invite, manage, moderate or delete an MentorIC that may be set up using the Service);

     a "Mentor" (i.e., mentor, parent, school representative, or other educational business for which one or more Managers offers the Service to Learners);

     a "Learner" (i.e., a "User" who was invited to use the Service by a mentor or Mentor) and has been approved by a parent of legal guardian to create an account; or

     a "User" (i.e., any user of the Service, including a Manager).

If you create an account or Challenge for the Service on behalf of an entity, such as your business or employer, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

If you are a User (who is not a Learner), you also represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to accept these Terms. If you are not 18, not a Learner, or do not have parental or guardian consent to access the Service, you may not use the Service.

You agree that we may provide notice to you of updated terms by posting them on the Site or make accessible through the Service. Use or continued use of our Service following notice of such updated terms indicates your consent to be bound by these terms.

1. YOUR PRIVACY

Your privacy and that of your Learners is important to us. We do not use personal information to market or advertise to your Learners, and we do not sell or share User personal data with any third party except those third party’s that provide support for the Service or functions requested by you. We do use your information for certain stated purposes, such as providing and improving the Service and communicating with Mentors about MentorIC features and events. Please read the Privacy Policy, as it describes what information we collect from you, how we use that information, and the legal rights and responsibilities we have to process your information.

2. YOUR ACCOUNT

2.1 The Service. MentorIC allows Managers to create one or more MentorIC, each of which contains content (which may include text, video, or other materials). Managers control access to the MentorIC and may share the Challenge with anyone they like. For example, Managers can share their Challenges with Learners and guest speakers.

2.2 Account Creation. When you register for an account as a Manager or Mentor, we will ask you to sign in and provide certain information about yourself, including where you work, the age group of your Users, and your area/subject of expertise. You agree not to provide any false, inaccurate, or misleading information when registering for an account. You must keep this information up to date. You may delete your account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions provided through the Service and then uninstalling the App.

In order to protect the integrity of the MentorIC community, at our sole discretion we reserve the right to: (a) remove any content that you upload to the Service at any time for any reason whatsoever, and (b) suspend access to the Service, terminate any account, and/or prohibit any current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof) by any user at any time for any reason. We will not be liable to you or any third party for taking any such action(s).

2.3 Account Responsibilities. To protect your account, keep your account details and password confidential. You are solely responsible for activities that occur using your account whether you took such actions or not.

2.4 Mentors. By nature of their role, Mentors have additional responsibilities to the Learners.  These responsibilities are:

(a) Must comply with our Privacy Policy;

(b) Represent and warrant that they have:

(i) the authority to consent to our collection and use of personal information from their Learners;

(ii) obtained any required parental consent, including if required verifiable parental consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA");

(iii) not received any revocation of parental consent;

(iv) filed evidence of parental consent with their School administrator before inviting or compelling a learner to use the Service; and

(v) will only use the personal information provided by or otherwise collected from a Learner per all applicable laws including when recording and sharing presentations or otherwise using the Service in accordance with the purposes for which the MentorIC was created.

(c) May act as the parent’s agent and for purposes of giving consent by the parent to us for the collection and use of Learner information for children below the minimum age (e.g. the minimum age for COPPA of 13 years);

(d) By enrolling a Learner or helping the Learner use the Service, the Mentor asserts to us that such consent has been obtained and agrees that the Learner’s online activities are subject to these terms;

(e) Must ensure their MentorICs are compliant with all applicable laws related to disclosure of Learner information and regulations, including The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA");

(f) Acquired FERPA-compliant disclosure consents from the parents of children under 18, or from the Learners aged 18 and older; and

(g) Grant us a nonexclusive license to view, download, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, and display any information provided by or collected from a Learner solely for the purposes discussed in these Terms.

Learner information is the property of and under the control of the Mentor. The MentorIC containing Learner content cannot be posted publicly by Mentors. Accordingly, Managers and Mentors assert to us they have proper consents before sharing any Learner information with third parties. If Managers invite unaffiliated guests (e.g., featured speakers) to participate on their MentorICs, they are solely responsible for obtaining parental consent for sharing Learner information with any unaffiliated guests; and obtaining clearance to use the guests’ content. MentorIC has no responsibility for Managers guest activity nor any materials uploaded through the Service.

 

3. YOUR CONTENT

3.1 User Content. "User Content" means any information and content that Users submit to, or use with, the Service (e.g., presentations or inputs). Each User is solely responsible for any of its own User Content. In addition, a Mentor is responsible for any User Content provided by or collected from a Learner. Questions about possession, control, or transfer of Learner-generated User Content, including the review and correction by a Learner, parent, or legal guardian of a Learner’s personal information, should be directed to the Mentor. Your interactions with other Users are solely between you and such Users, and we will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. MentorIC does not guarantee any long-term storage of your User Content. We use best practices to back up all User Content, but we cannot guarantee that User Content will be available in the event it is intentionally or accidentally deleted, so we recommend you backup User Content regularly.

3.2 License. To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others and to protect you and the Services, you grant to us a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use your User Content posted on the Service, for example, to make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools User Content on the Services. You represent and warrant that for the duration of these Terms, you have (and will have) all the rights necessary for your User Content that is uploaded, stored, or shared on or through the Service and that the collection, use, and retention of your User Content will not violate any law or rights of others. The above licenses granted by you will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after your presentations are removed or deleted from the Service.

3.5 Deletion of Content or Account. You may delete your own account or content on the Service by following the instructions provided on the Service or in our communications.

You and we irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, for all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that are heard in court (excluding arbitration and small claims court).

Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of review under the FAA. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity aren’t allowed. Nor is combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties.

Inspired Classroom Privacy Policy

Your privacy and that of your learners is important to us:

     We do not use personal information to market or advertise to your learners, nor do we sell or share your information or learner information with third parties.

     We do not allow access to any user personal information by any third party.

Inspired Classroom does use your personal information for certain stated purposes, such as providing and improving the service and communicating with Mentors (but not Learners) about new Inspired Classroom features and events. Please read the Privacy Policy below, as it describes what information we collect from you, how we use that information, and the legal bases we have to process your information.

This Privacy Policy governs how MentorIC a product of Inspired Classroom, LLC, ("Inspired Classroom," “MentorIC,” "we," "our," or "us") uses and shares personal information collected by our website at icchallenge.org, the MentorIC mobile app, and any associated services (collectively the “Service”).

"You" may be a:

     "Manager" (i.e., an adult over the age of 18, a mentor, other School representative, organization, non-profit, researcher or business that subscribes to the Service with the administrative right to create, invite, manage, moderate or delete an MentorIC that may be set up using the Service);

     a "Mentor" (i.e., mentor, parent, school representative, or other educational business for which one or more Managers offers the Service to Learners);

     a "Learner" (i.e., a "User" who was invited to use the Service by a mentor or Mentor); or

     a "User" (i.e., any user of the Service, including a Manager).

1. Information Inspired Classroom Collects

Inspired Classroom may collect personal information from Users as described below.

1.1 Manager and Mentor Personal Information (Collected from the Manager)

When a Manager or Mentor creates an account on the Service, we require certain information in order to create an account, such as a Manager or Mentor’s first name, last name, email address, password, instruction type, and country. If you are a mentor or represent a School, we will also collect your School email address and School name to set up an account.

When a Manager posts content (text, images, photographs, videos, messages, comments, or any other kind of content) on the Service, the information contained in the posting, including first name, last name, email address, any audio and image included within any video, will be stored by our Service for purposes of providing the Service.

When a Manager or Mentor logs into an existing account, we may collect first and last name, email address and other information specific to that third-party account to authenticate the Manager or Mentor.

When a Manager or Affiliate provides feedback to a Learner, such as replying to a presentation we store the feedback in the Service for purposes of providing the Service.

If a Mentor provides us feedback or contacts us via email, we will collect the Mentor’s name and email address, as well as any other content included in the email for purposes of replying to the Mentor and improving the Service.

1.2 Learner Personal Information

Mentors provide consent for the collection of Learner personal information as discussed in Section 6 of this Privacy Policy. When a Learner posts content (text, images, photographs, videos, messages, comments, links, or any other kind of content) using the Service, the information contained in the posting, including first name, last name, email address, and any audio and image included within any video will be stored in our Service as per the consent provided by the Managers.

If a Learner provides us with feedback or contacts us via email, we will collect the Learner's name and email address, as well as any other content included in the email, for purposes of replying to the Learner and improving the Service.

When a User uses the Service, some information may be automatically collected to help us understand how the Service is being used and how to improve the Service. For example, device type, the device identifier (UDID), the Open Device Identification Number (ODIN), date/time stamps for each visit, browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, clickstream data, and domain name are all collected for purposes of administering, and improving the Service. We may store this information in log files.

Inspired Classroom uses cookies (small text files placed on your device) and similar technologies to provide the Service. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of the Service and help the content of the pages load quickly. We use cookies to provide Users with a more personal, useful, and interactive experience with our Service.

The Service may include cookies from third-party service providers. In addition to the cookies we set, third parties can also set cookies when you visit our sites. Companies that deliver content, such as embedded videos and links, place cookies on their own. These companies use the data they process in accordance with their privacy policies, which may enable these companies to collect and combine information about your activities across websites, apps, or online services.

Each User has a variety of tools to control cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, including browser controls to block and delete cookies and controls from some third-party analytics service providers to opt out of data collection through web beacons and similar technologies. User browser settings and other choices may impact the functionality of the Service.

2. Use of Personal Information

We store and process User personal information in the United States, and we use this information as follows:

     To provide the Service, including updating, securing, troubleshooting, and providing support.

     To improve and develop the Service.

     To respond to User comments and questions and provide customer service.

     To communicate with Mentors about upcoming Inspired Classroom events, new Inspired Classroom features, and other news.

     To send the User information including confirmations, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.

     To identify specific Users in our system.

     To facilitate the creation and management of accounts on our Service.

     To process and deliver orders.

     To comply with applicable laws, including website accessibility laws that may require transcription of audio or other methods to make User content available on the Service.

     For other purposes with your permission.

Inspired Classroom also does not use your personal information to track and target advertisements on third party websites or services. Inspired Classroom does not market to learners.

Inspired Classroom acknowledges that certain information about the learners may be contained in records maintained by Inspired Classroom and that this information can be confidential by reason of the Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S. C. 1232g) ("FERPA") unless valid consent is obtained from the learners or their legal guardians. Both parties agree to protect these records in accordance with FERPA. To the extent permitted by law, nothing contained herein shall be construed as precluding either party from releasing such information to the other so that each can perform its respective responsibilities. You shall advise Inspired Classroom whenever any learners have provided consent to release information to an extent broader than as provided for by FERPA.

Inspired Classroom agrees that it may create, receive from or on your behalf, or have access to, records or record systems that are subject to the FERPA (collectively, the "FERPA Records"). Inspired Classroom represents, warrants, and agrees that it will: (1) hold the FERPA Records in strict confidence and will not use or disclose the FERPA Records except as (a) permitted or required by this Agreement, (b) required by law, or (c) otherwise authorized by you in writing; (2) safeguard the FERPA Records according to commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical standards that are no less rigorous than the standards by which Inspired Classroom protects its own confidential information; and (3) continually monitor its operations and take any action necessary to assure that the FERPA Records are safeguarded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At your request, Inspired Classroom agrees to provide you with a written summary of the procedures Inspired Classroom uses to safeguard the FERPA Records.

3. Information We Share

Inspired Classroom does not sell User personal information. We do not share personal information we collect on Users (including Learners and Mentors) when Users create accounts, request support, record videos, share presentations and their experiences with us, or otherwise use the Service. We may also share User personal information with vendors, consultants, and other third-party service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf and at our direction. For example, we rely content experts to provide feedback on presentations. Those who receive shared information are contractually bound by the FERPA disclosure laws and regulations as well.

We may also share User personal information for legal, protection, and safety purposes. For example,

     We may share information to comply with applicable laws.

     We may share information to respond to lawful requests and legal processes.

     We may share information in an emergency, such as protecting the safety of our employees and agents, our Users, or any person.

     We may share information to protect the rights and property of Inspired Classroom, our agents, employees, customers, and others, including by enforcing our agreements, policies, and terms of use.

     We may disclose or transfer your personal information in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization, in whole or in part, of our company.

Inspired Classroom reserves the right to share Users’ personal information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law. Inspired Classroom reserves the right to use or disclose personal information provided to Inspired Classroom in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or if Inspired Classroom reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect Inspired Classroom’s rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. In exceptionally rare circumstances where national, state, or company security is at issue, Inspired Classroom reserves the right to share our entire database of visitors and clients with appropriate government authorities. If we are going to share User personal information, we strive to provide the User with advance notice by e-mail unless prohibited by law from doing so.

4. Information Users Share

Each MentorIC and the content submitted to an MentorIC, such as presentations and input fields, will be displayed in the MentorIC and will be visible to the Mentor, Learner Team Members, Managers and Evaluators as administered and permitted by the Manager, subject to the Manager’s ability to deactivate or moderate submissions.

Managers choose whether Users are permitted to link to external sites. External sites are governed by their respective privacy policies. Managers may also record videos and add content.  They may share this information with others.

We may publish comments or feedback from a User about Inspired Classroom and the MentorIC only if we obtain that User’s consent.

5. Information Choices and Changes

Users may opt out of providing personal information to the Service at any time by canceling their account and uninstalling the application. Users may also delete their personal information by emailing educationteam@InspiredClassroom.com to have their account removed or by asking their Manager to remove their content. Inspired Classroom will stop collecting the User’s personal information in these cases, but may still retain the User’s personal information as outlined in the “Data Retention” (Section 8) of this Policy (below).

Our communication email regarding events, news and other such topics explain how to opt out of receiving such emails. If a User opts out, we may still send them operational emails that pertain to the User's account and notifications regarding our services.

Users may send requests about their personal information to our contact information in Section 14 below, including to change contact choices, opt out of our sharing with others, and review, update, correct, or delete personal information. Once the User has been authenticated, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor these requests. We may retain an archived copy of User records as required by law. Such opt outs may result in disruption or cancellation of the Service or impairment of certain Service functionality.

Users may also contact the Manager and request that the material be permanently deleted. If the Manager is not able to remove the material, Users can contact us at educationteam@InspiredClassroom.com and request that such material be deleted. However, we will only be able to delete the material if (a) the User provided their email address when posting the material and (b) the User sends the email request to us using that same email address. Otherwise, we may not be able to delete posted material. Deletion of material removes it from the MentorIC.

6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and Learners

6.1 Notice to Parents and Schools

Under the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), verifiable parental consent is needed to collect, use, or disclose personal information (e.g., full name and email address) from each User under 13 years old. In accordance with COPPA, a mentor or Manager may act as the agent of the parent or legal guardian of a Learner and provide consent on behalf of the parent for Inspired Classroom’s collection, use, and disclosure of the Learner’s personal information. By enrolling a Learner under 13 to use the Service, the School asserts to us that such consent has been gained and agrees that the Learners’ activities while on the Service are subject to our Terms.

This Privacy Policy does not govern any School's collection, use, or disclosure of a Learner’s personal information through the Service, and we are not responsible for any such collection, use, or disclosure. Parents should contact the mentor or Manager directly to understand the Manager’s privacy practices or to request to access, change or delete information collected by the Manager in connection with the Service that cannot otherwise be accessed, changed or deleted as described in this Privacy Policy.

As required under COPPA, parents can make certain choices regarding how their child’s information is used. (For more information, see “Parent’s Choices Regarding Information on Learners Under 13,” in Section 6.2 below). Parents should submit these requests to the mentor or Manager, and the mentor or Managers, as the parent’s agent, must pass those requests to us by emailing educationteam@InspiredClassroom.com.

6.2 Parent’s Choices Regarding Information on Learners Under 13

Under COPPA, parents of Learners under 13 have certain rights with respect to our collection, use, retention, and disclosure of their Learner’s information. This includes the right to review, update, or delete Learner information, as well as prohibit our sharing of Learner information with third parties. Parents can exercise these rights by contacting the Learner’s Manager or Mentor, and the Mentor must submit these requests, on the parent’s behalf, to Inspired Classroom by emailing their Manager. Notwithstanding any such requests, we may continue to share the Learner information for non-Service purposes as described in Section 3, “Information We Share.”

A parent must request deletion of the Learner’s information (such as videos submitted) through the Mentor.
