Privacy Policy

September 23, 2023

The following privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs our collection, storage, use, processing, protection and disclosure of the information you provide to us during your use of the LiveBinders (DOT) com website, and all content, services and/or products available thereon (collectively, the “Services.”). This Privacy Policy describes LiveBinders’ information gathering and dissemination practices with respect to information we collect through our Services. Because the Internet is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside. By using our Services, you explicitly consent to such transfers, processing, storage and uses of your information and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Overview

LiveBinders has been committed to taking privacy seriously for the entire time we have been in business (over 10 years). We do not sell your Personal Data (which includes name, address, email address, phone number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline or pieces of data which, when collected together and linked may lead to your identification) and we only collect the information necessary for providing an excellent service and experience on the LiveBinders platform.  

This Privacy Policy does not govern what our users add to their LivebBinders. When you view a binder created by another LiveBinders user, the content shared in the binder may collect more information than we do and may provide information to third-parties that we have no relationship with. We request you use discretion when sharing personal information in binders that are created by other LiveBinders users.

This Privacy Policy also does not apply to websites or services you might access through links or other features (e.g., YouTube videos) on the Service. These other services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing them with personal information.

The goal of this Privacy Policy is to make clear what information we gather, how we use it, and how you can gain access to it.

Information You Choose to Submit

You can use certain portions of our Services without telling us your name, email address or providing any billing information. To obtain access to certain areas of our Services, however, or to receive certain services we provide (e.g., creating a LiveBinder, installing an application, upgrading to a premium service), you may be required to register with us and, in connection with such registration, to provide certain Personal Data (e.g., your full name, email address, billing information). We use such information to provide you with the services and features you requested or registered for, and to monitor internally the usage of our Services. We also use such information to fulfill your order and to contact you from time to time about us, about your support questions, about our website, and about our products and services.

  • Account and Profile Information: If you desire to have access to restricted sections of our Services, you may be required to become a registered user, and to submit any of the following: email, username, password, district, school, company name, city. Note: We encrypt your passwords. You can also provide us with your profile photo, your name as the authorname of a binder.  This is optional and is not necessary for you to use the Service.  As a user of a LiveBinders account, on livebinders (DOT) com, your profile photo, and username may be visible to the viewers of your binders.  
  • User Contributions: Users can create and share their LiveBinder with a variety of privacy options: Private (default), Public, Unlisted (anyone with the link) and Team (private). Users can also add text, upload documents and add website URLs into their binder tab pages. User Contributions may be published and displayed publicly or with various privacy options.  Uploaded files can be marked as “Private” and website URLs are dependent on the privacy setting of that Website. Users can review privacy options available for uploaded files as described in the LiveBinders Document Privacy page.  While LiveBinders does provide privacy options, no privacy and security measures are perfect or impenetrable.  User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk and we cannot control the actions of other users of the Services to whom you have chosen to share your User Contributions, therefore, we cannot guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.  
  • Customer Support: We collect information through your communications with our customer support team or other communications that you send us and their contents. When you contact us for support or feedback, your information in used solely to respond to your request.

Even if you do opt-out of email notifications, we reserve the right to send you administrative messages relating to our Services (e.g., about changes to this Privacy Policy, maintenance issues), to contact you regarding orders you have placed (e.g., order confirmations), and to share your information with our service providers as necessary to provide you with the Services.
  • Purchase or Upgrade: When you make payments through the Service, you will need to provide Personal Data such as a credit card number and billing address. We use a third-party service to process your payments and do not store your credit card information. We require these third-parties to maintain the privacy and security of the Personal Data they process on our behalf.
  • Social Media Posts: We offer you the ability to post your LiveBinder links directly to your social media account. In order to allow you to post to your social media platforms, we may direct you to their log in page to provide username, account IDs, social handle and email address. We refer you to their privacy policies for handling your login credentials.

When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of product and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our products or services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.

Also, please note that we will maintain information about you in our database for accounting purposes or whenever we are required to do so by law.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We have implemented reasonable measures to help protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. We employ administrative and electronic measures designed to appropriately protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession.

We use secure servers and firewalls to protect your Personal Data on our systems. Passwords for using our Services will be encrypted. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot ensure that information about you will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our administrative, physical and electronic safeguards. We will make any legally-required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted, electronically stored Personal Data to you via email or conspicuous posting on our website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system, and any other disclosures that may be required under applicable law.

The safety and security of your Personal Data also depends upon you. Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password to access parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping such password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone. Use caution when giving out or posting any content in public areas of the Services as such content may be viewed by any users.

Student Privacy

Students in the United States, including students under the age of 13, may use the Services for educational purposes at the invitation and direction of their school, school district or other educational agency by any representative thereof. If students are under 13 years of age, they must have parental permission to register an account at LiveBinders. Schools, school districts or educational agencies, as applicable, should obtain parental permission before issuing accounts to students.

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a school, school district or other educational agency representative may act as the agent of the parent or legal guardian of a student and provide consent on behalf of the parent for the collection, use and disclosure of the student’s information so long as such collection, use and disclosure are solely related to the student’s use of the Services for educational purposes. In such cases, LiveBinders is acting in the role of a “school official” under FERPA and contractually relies on the parental consent being obtained by the school, school district, other educational agency or any representative thereof. By enrolling a student to use the Services, the school, school district or other educational agency or representative thereof provides such consent to us to use, collect and share student information as needed to provide the Services.

We do not ever sell student information, use it for advertising or use it for purposes other than as needed to provide the Services or as otherwise set forth in our agreement with the school, school district or other educational agency or this Privacy Policy.

Parents or legal guardians of students may have certain rights under FERPA with respect to their student’s data, including the right to review, update and/or delete student data, as well as prohibit our sharing of student data with third parties. Parents or legal guardians can exercise these rights by contacting the student’s school, school district or other educational agency, as applicable, and have them contact us at info (at) livebinders (DOT) com. Once we have received notification from the student’s school, school district or other educational agency that the student or parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of a student have chosen to exercise their rights with respect to their student’s data, we will work with such school, school district or other educational agency to accommodate such requests as required by applicable law and subject to legal requirements regarding the use, storage, retention and transfer of such data. In cases where: (i) LiveBinders is a third-party educational service provider to a school, school district or other educational agency; or (ii) a school, school district or other educational agency has registered to use LiveBinders on behalf of the student; LiveBinders can only cooperate with requests regarding student data when they are made by and through the applicable school, school district or other educational agency.

Child Safety

Other than students who are using the Services at the direction of their school, school district or other educational agency, LiveBinders does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13 or, if you reside outside the United States, from children under the age of consent applicable in their country of residence.   If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of consent, if different) has registered with LiveBinders for an account for the Services or that we have received any Personal Data of that child without your consent, then you may alert us at info (at) livebinders (DOT) com and request that we delete that child’s Personal Data and/or account from our systems. If your child is a U.S. student using the Services at the direction of their school, school district or other educational agency, please see the disclosures set forth above in the “Student Privacy” section of this Privacy Policy.

Links to Other Websites

Our Services may contain links to other websites such as when our users add third-party web URLs to their binder tabs. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE OR OTHER PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD-PARTY, INCLUDING OUR AFFILIATES, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, ANY THIRD-PARTY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, ANY THIRD-PARTY MAKING AVAILABLE THE DEVICES OR OPERATING SYSTEMS FOR WHICH THE SITE IS AVAILABLE, AND ANY THIRD-PARTY OPERATING ANY WEBSITE TO WHICH THE SITE CONTAINS A LINK. YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS DIRECTLY ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THESE THIRD-PARTIES SO YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THEIR PRIVACY POLICIES TO LEARN MORE. We urge you to review such practices prior to submitting any personal information to such websites.

Right to Know and Data Portability

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”).

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.

 We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for B2B personal information.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
  6.

  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please email us at privacy (at) LiveBinders (DOT) com.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
