We, SoiSchool, (“SoiSchool”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) know that our customers or users (“you”, “your”, or “yourself”) care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. By using or access our www.soischool.com website and domain name, any other linked pages, features, content, application, web application, mobile application, online communication channels, products, and any other services we offer from time to time in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, the " Services"), you agree to the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Remember that your use of SoiSchool Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to people that we do not employ or manage, even if you have accessed the websites or services of those companies through our Website.
We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services; to allow you to set up a user account and profile; to contact you and allow other users to contact you; to fulfill your requests for certain products and services; and to analyze how you use the Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only in a manner described below.
We only collect Personal Information of children, quasi-incompetent persons, and incompetent persons where their parent or guardian has given their consent. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from customers under the age of 20 without their parental consent when it is required, or from quasi-incompetent persons and incompetent persons without their legal guardian's consent. If we learn that we have unintentionally collected Personal Information from anyone under the age of 20 without parental consent when it is required, or from quasi-incompetent persons and incompetent persons without their legal guardians, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that anyone under the age of 20 may have provided us Personal Information without parental consent when it is required, please contact us at info@soischool.com.
We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will do our best to alert you to changes by placing a notice on www.soischool.com or the SoiSchool application, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if we aren’t able to send a notification or if you have opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or if you have not provided us with your email address), you are still responsible for reading and understanding the changes. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used.
The information we learn from you helps us personalize and continually improve the Website and our Services. Here are the types of information we gather.
We receive and store every information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Information, such as

4.2 Contact information: your address, email address, phone number,
4.3 Any additional information: third-party account credentials (for example, your log-in credentials for Facebook or other third party sites). If you provide your third-party account credentials to us, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts (“Third Party Account Information”) may be transmitted into your account with us, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Services is covered by this Privacy Policy. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.
We may communicate with you if you have provided us with your email address or other means to do so. We may send you promotional email offers, or email you about your use of the Services. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make our communications with you more interesting and improve our Services. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by choosing the “unsubscribe” option at the bottom of any email received from us.
Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, live location, device identification, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Services, the page or feature you requested, and “cookie” information. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browsers or devices that allow us to recognize your browsers or devices and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
Also, if you click on a link to a third party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. However, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.
We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services - for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.
Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Services. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Services and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy.

One such service may include the ability for you to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your Services profile or to automatically transmit information in your Services profile to your third party account, such as posting images to Facebook from the Services. Again, we have no control over the policies and practices of third party websites, applications or businesses as to privacy or anything else.

Certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any video or image content that users have uploaded to the Services, may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interactions within the Services or address your request for our Services.
