PRIVACY STATEMENT

WorldWideClass respects your privacy and we take the issue of Internet privacy very seriously.

By accepting the WorldWideClass Terms of Service, you consent to the use and disclosure of personal information that you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Statement. As WorldWideClass improves its services, we may modify the Privacy Statement, and urge you to check here for updates from time to time. This document specifies the following:

WorldWideClass is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

Registration Information In order to use this website, both WorldWideClass Instructors and WorldWideClass Stuents must first complete the registration form. During registration we request users’ contact information, such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest, and is also used as the user’s login information. It is optional for the user to provide additional personalized information (such as experience and qualifications) and unique identifiers (such as a user name), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. During the Registration process, you have the ability to “opt-out” of receiving WorldWideClass newsletters and promotions.

WorldWideClass hosts its own site (www.WorldWideClass.com) as well as sites for WorldWideClass partners. WorldWideClass uses a similar registration process for users at our partner sites, and only WorldWideClass stores personally identifiable information collected at these sites. Any questions arising from collection of information through the WorldWideClass service at our partner sites should be directed to help@WorldWideClass.com.

Services Through the Site We request information from the user during the process of using WorldWideClass services. Students must provide financial information such as a credit card number and expiration date in order to pay for and use the WorldWideClass service. Instructors must provide contact information, like name and mailing address, in order to receive their payment from WorldWideClass. The information we collect from both Students and Instructors is to provide users with the best possible service. If we have trouble providing this service, we may use contact information to get in touch with the user.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in his or her email and password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, he or she may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will have to login each time he or she visits the site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are also linked to personally identifiable information in order to better the user’s experience when using our site. We may also retain any emails, letters, or other correspondence between you and WorldWideClass to ensure quality control and the best possible service, although we have no obligation to do so.
Registered users may not use information gathered through a WorldWideClass transaction to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal and civil rights of any other registered user. Registered users may not use information gathered through a WorldWideClass transaction to sell any goods or services for any commercial purpose outside the scope of the WorldWideClass service. Email addresses and personal information may not be used to forward surveys contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters, or to post the same message repeatedly (a practice referred to as “spamming”). WorldWideClass will terminate the registered users account if any outside contact is found.

PARENTS: You should always supervise your children’s use of the Internet.

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted. We use the industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and firewalls to protect against loss, misuse, and alteration of any personal data under our control. While on a secure page such as our registration form, there is a “locked” icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to help@WorldWideClass.com.
