USE OF INFORMATION
The majority of information collected by ParentIQ is used to create aggregated portraits of the ParentIQ audience, portraits which present anonymous statistical demographic information. This aggregated information is used, among other things, to determine trends and needs, and also to supply market research to potential advertisers and partners to help them understand who the ParentIQ audience is. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable.

NOTICE OF NEW SERVICES AND CHANGES
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to ParentIQ, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at support@ParentIQ.com.

ORDER FORMS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH E-COMMERCE PARTNERS AND ADVERTISERS
The information provided via the order form in the ParentIQ online store is secured via SSL Encryption. The information provided in that order form, as well as the items ordered, will only be shared with the designated fulfillment partner to the extent the information is needed to successfully complete the order and they may not use this information for any other purpose.

E-LEARNING & COURSE PROGRESS AND RESULTS
As a member of ParentIQ, you will be able to participate in the e-learning and course programs. These programs include taking tests to help measure your progress throughout the course. The results of these tests are stored as part of your member profile and treated with the same level of privacy and security as the rest of your personal data.

ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTERS AND REMINDERS
ParentIQ offers free and registered member electronic newsletters on a variety of topics. If you choose to subscribe to any of these newsletters, currently the only information you will be required to provide is a valid email address. Generally, ParentIQ does not share mailing lists from its electronic newsletters with third parties. However, in some situations, ParentIQ may share its newsletter mailing lists with third parties who provide newsletter and/or reminder fulfillment services on behalf of ParentIQ. In these instances, such third parties will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. Additionally, ParentIQ may provide third parties with a list of ParentIQ members and visitors who have opted-in to receiving additional information from third parties.

In those instances where you opt-in to subscribe to a newsletter through a third-party email service or advertiser or partner, the email address information sometimes will be located on the third party's server. In those cases, any information you provide is subject to that entity's Privacy Policy, not this one. Some of our partners' and advertisers' sites require that you specifically opt-out from receiving their newsletters. As a result, to stop receiving them you will need to affirmatively opt-out from the third party newsletter.

FORUMS/MESSAGE BOARDS
Throughout ParentIQ, various public forums such as the message boards and question and answer areas are available to you as a registered ParentIQ member.

Please remember that any information you disclose in these public forum areas becomes public information and is immediately accessible on ParentIQ, so it is important for you to exercise discretion and appropriate caution when deciding to reveal personal information in these areas. ParentIQ may decide to utilize in promotions the content of Q&A's, course comments or site comments to enhance ParentIQ's editorial, advertising and public relations efforts.

SURVEYS AND POLLS
Our surveys ask for opinions on various issues and very often these surveys and polls are sponsored by or associated with ParentIQ advertisers and partners. Occasionally, we may request demographic information (like zip code, age or gender). Most information obtained through surveys and polls is aggregated and used internally or shared with advertisers and partners only in the aggregated form. In the event personally identifiable information is requested as part of surveys or polls about any ParentIQ member or subscriber, such personally identifiable information is never provided to third parties without your consent. In these instances you may expressly choose to receive information from a sponsor, in which case your information is provided to that sponsor only. Some survey answers may be added to your member profile (so that we can better provide you with content, ads and offers that are most appropriate for you.)

LINKS TO PARTNER AND ADVERTISER SITES
ParentIQ contains links to advertiser and partner websites. We cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such non-ParentIQ websites, and we do not control the practices of any of our advertisers or partners to whom we are linked.
In order to participate in the partner and/or advertiser supplied services and tools you may be required to provide personally identifiable information to the advertisers and partners whose tools and services you have chosen to interact with. Each advertiser and partner will request different information from you.

The information you provide via links to co-branded pages, co-branded sites, third party sites or tools may be shared with advertisers and partners on an aggregated basis and in these instances your permission will not be requested since no personally identifiable information will be shared or provided to these third party sponsors or advertisers. ParentIQ will, however, use commercially reasonable efforts to contractually require all such third party advertisers and partners to agree not to use any non-personally identifiable information about you, in conjunction with other sources of information, or otherwise, to identify you.

If you have additional questions about how one of our advertisers, partners or sponsors use information about you, we urge you to contact them directly.

ParentIQ OPT-IN/OPT-OUT POLICY
Upon registration or from time-to-time, you may be asked to indicate whether you are interested in receiving information from us about special offers or news about our sites and advertisers. You will also be provided with the opportunity to opt-in to receive offers directly from select companies other than ParentIQ.

CHANGE/MODIFY/ARCHIVED INFORMATION

However, you cannot currently change your member name, although you may re-register and choose a new name. Please be advised that ParentIQ currently archives information it collects on its members and visitors.

PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
We will not make new use of any personally identifiable information which ParentIQ gathered from individual members or visitors prior to any such significant change in our Privacy Policy without first obtaining the member's or visitor's consent for any new uses. In instances where we ask for your personally identifiable information and we tell you the data we are collecting on that page will be shared with third parties, and in cases where a member, visitor or subscriber to the ParentIQ opts-in to share his/her information with third parties, those disclosures and opt-ins will override anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy. In addition, ParentIQ reserves the right to make non-significant changes to our Privacy Policy that will not affect ParentIQ's use of a user's personally identifiable information at any time without any notice to you other than posting any such changes in a revised Privacy Policy on the ParentIQ web site. We encourage you to periodically review our Privacy Policy to be sure you are familiar with the most current version. The Policy will include the most recent date in which any revision has been made.
