About us:
|
PathwaysTech (Pathways) provides education and educational apps for all ages. Here at Pathways we take
privacy and safeguarding seriously. Any information collected both here on our website, as well as from
any apps designed by ourselves, is strictly kept to a minimum: the data only being used to improve the
quality of any products and support we offer. Any information held by ourselves is not passed on without
the prior permission of the individual. Pathways may change or update the Privacy Policy at any time as we
add new or different features, or as the law changes. Unless another date is given, the changes are
effective upon posting. Thus, you should review the Privacy Policy frequently. This Privacy Policy is also
part of the Terms of Service that explain your, and our, rights and responsibilities when using Pathways
services and sites. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, you should not
use the sites and services. If you have any questions, please contact us. |

What Kind of Information is Collected?
|
There are two types of data that may be collected. The first is personal data. This is personally
identifiable information that identifies a user as an individual. Pathways do not collect personal data in
any of its children’s apps. Pathways may collect personal data that customers voluntarily provide on our
website. The second type is non personal data which does not directly identify an individual or which may
have been personal information but has had the personally identifiable information removed. Pathways may
collect non personal information about the use of the website and apps to help us improve our products and
services. |

More about Personal Data:
|
We collect personal data when a customer makes a purchase through chosen outlets, subscribes to a
newsletter or alert, submits content to a forum or blog, or requests technical support. This data may
include a name (screen or nickname), gender, birth date, email address, mailing or shipping address,
telephone number, and payment information. This information may be used to provide services and the sites
to you, to process and fulfil your orders, to contact customers about their orders and new services and
features and to send push notifications if consent to receive them has been given. If you contact us for
help, we will only use your email or business address to reply to your question in accordance with your
preference. Please note that if a customer posts personal information about themselves in a community
forum or blog section, in addition to being collected, this data is public for others to see. The customer
is responsible for the disclosure of any such data in such forums. |
|
More about Non-Personal Data:
|
To help us provide you with the best service, we may collect your unique device identifier, IP address,
mobile phone carrier, game progress, time spent playing, and achievements. This information is for
internal use only and cannot be shared; it’s just for us to help us improve our services for you. We may
use cookies and web beacons to help deliver and analyse our services (e.g., by counting the number of
times a page or advert has been viewed). Pathways may also use third parties from time to time to deliver
a service, such as payment processing, sending emails, infrastructure and IT services, or helping with
customer or technical support. We only work with companies that follow this privacy policy and agree not
to use your information for any other purposes. If you’d like more information on this, please contact us.

A Word about What We Might Disclose:
|
As you can see, we collect minimal personal data from customers who wish to provide it, and some
non-personal data for internal use to help improve our sites and services. In addition, we may disclose
your personal or non-personal information to additional parties if we believe we are required to by law,
by a judicial proceeding, to protect Pathways rights and properties, or to investigate fraud, intellectual
property infringement, and any other conduct that might be illegal or expose Pathways or a user of its
services to legal liability. In addition, Pathways may disclose your information in the event of a change
or proposed change in the ownership of the company; for example, a sale, a merger, or bankruptcy.
Individuals may disclose information about themselves by posting in the public forums on the site.
Pathways is not responsible for what individuals say and post in these sections. |

Tracking:
|
Although we currently do not use Google Analytics Advertising Features, this is something we are looking
to implement in order to better understand the use of our website for customers. These features include
Remarketing, Impression reporting, integration with DoubleClick and Demographic & Interest reporting. They
use cookies and anonymous identifiers to collect information and help target advertising. We do not
combine this information with any personally identifiable information you may have submitted when signing
up to a newsletter for example. Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals; but, you can
opt out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also configure your
browser to accept or reject cookies. All browsers are different so go to the help section of your browser
to find out how to do this. |
|
Links:
|
We may include links to third parties from our website or services.
Pathways aren’t responsible for these companies and including
a link to them doesn’t mean that Pathways endorses them. So
be sure to check their privacy policies if you decide to visit them.
And remember, your use of Pathways sites and services may also be
subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of other
services that Pathways doesn’t control such as mobile application
stores, mobile software platforms, online social media sites, or
payment processors. |
|
Security:
|
Pathways uses generally accepted security measures and safeguards
in an attempt to keep the data it collects secure and requires that
the third parties it works with agree to do the same. The measures
and safeguards include limiting access to the data to those persons
who need it to complete their work for Pathways, using a fire-wall
protected environment, and storing personal information in secure
operating environments. That said, Pathways cannot and does not guarantee
and does not accept liability for unintentional disclosure. |
|
How to update or remove your information:
|
Pathways keeps your content for as long as necessary in providing
its services. If you want to opt out of services, or review or delete
your information, please contact us. |
