Privacy Policy Modifications
Epiphany Learning reserves the right, at our discretion, to modify this policy at any time for any reason. We will proactively communicate changes to the Privacy Policy to customers for their review and consent at the time of posting.
Data Collection
Epiphany Learning provides services to educational institutions to improve student learning outcomes. Through the provision of these services, Epiphany Learning collects personally identifiable information from or about students ("Student Data"). We consider such Student Data to be strictly confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and providing our services to the school or on the school's behalf. Our collection, use and sharing of Student Data is governed by our contracts with the educational institutions, in the U.S. by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and applicable state laws, and by other state, federal, and international laws as applicable, but not by the provisions contained in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting personal information of a student, please contact your educational institution directly.
The personal information collected for student accounts includes first name, last name, email address, student ID number, username, grade level and guardian email address. This information is obtained by Epiphany Learning through institution (such as school, school district or other educational organization) representatives or the institution's Student Information System (SIS).
Epiphany Learning may only keep a student's personal information for as long as his or her student account is active, unless we are required by law to retain it, need it to ensure the security of our community or our service, or to enforce our Terms and Conditions or as required by the terms outlined in agreements with each educational institution.
Data Protection
Epiphany Learning accounts are protected by a password. Users can help us protect against unauthorized access to accounts by keeping passwords secret at all times. The security of personal information is important to us. We work hard to protect our community, and we maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure of or access to personal information.
Epiphany Learning ensures that our staff is trained and systems are in place to provide required security and maintain confidentiality of student data. We periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access. We continually develop and implement features to keep data safe. We encrypt the transmission of information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) by default.
How Data is Used
We use the information we collect from you to provide you with the best experience. Information collected is used to provide and improve the service, respond to requests for information or customer support, customize the service, and improve the experience. We may share data with your teacher or institution about usage and utilization. This information is provided from within a secure login setup specifically for that institution contact. Epiphany Learning does not sell or rent any of user's personal information to any third party for any purpose - including for advertising or marketing purposes. Third-party advertising is not permitted on Epiphany Learning. We prohibit using any student data for any purpose outside of those required or permitted by our contract.
Notification of Unauthorized Release
If Epiphany Learning determines that an unauthorized release of student data has occurred, we will take prompt and appropriate steps to mitigate further release of student data as well as provide notice to the affected institution promptly. We will also work with the affected institution to provide information and assistance necessary to comply with any notification to parents, legal guardians or students, as required under applicable law.
Student Content
Epiphany Learning aims to provide students with easy access to any of their created content stored in the application. If that content contains errors, we provide easy ways to update it, or to delete it, unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business (e.g., we need at least an email address for an account) or legal purposes. Epiphany Learning also provides students or parents, if the student meets the criteria of dependency as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, with means to transfer data to a personal account. A student or parent of a dependent who wishes to permit another person to inspect or receive copies of their created content must provide written consent that specifies the content to be disclosed, the purpose of the disclosure and identify the person or parties to whom the disclosure can be made.
Contact Epiphany Learning with requests by calling 262-395-4792 or send an email to [email protected].
Parent Access
Parents access Epiphany Learning using a unique login provided by the teacher, school or district personnel, or through an email/SMS invitation directly from the teacher. Parents can only view their own children's profiles, not those of any other students. Student data including personally identifiable information is provided to Epiphany Learning by educational institutions or representatives of the educational institution. Should erroneous information be identified it is recommended that parents, legal guardians, or eligible pupils contact their educational institution.
