<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9933; font-size: large;">Privacy and Security</span></strong></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The <strong>HELP Program</strong> is committed to the privacy and  security of our students and teachers. To ensure their privacy and the security  of their information, the HELP Program has taken the online following  precautions: </span></span>
<ul>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Each individual user account is password-protected.  Only authorized members of your school or district are allowed to access or view  the student and/or teacher information relevant to the account. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The HELP Program will never sell or share any user  information with any person or organization outside of its parent company,  Digital Directions International, Inc. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The HELP Program complies with all regulations  within the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) legislation. </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The HELP Program uses Secure Socket Layer  (SSL) encryption technology to ensure the privacy of any user's online  information.</span> </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Privacy
</strong>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The  <strong>HELP Program</strong> will never market any user information to any  third party. Each school supplies The HELP Program with basic information,  supplied by the school or district, needed to set up the program for their use.  This information generally consists of first and last names, and grades taught  or attended. The HELP Program does not require any further information. In  addition, each customer site retains full ownership of all information they  store and share on the The HELP Program system.

The <strong>HELP  Program</strong> will monitor usage only by user type and activity, not by names  or any other identifying information, and will share this information with  school administration upon request.

The <strong>HELP Program</strong> might be required to disclose personally identifying information in response to  valid legal processes, i.e., a search warrant, subpoena or court order.  Disclosures also may be appropriate to protect the safety of a child during  emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at  risk.</span>

<strong>Security
</strong>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The  <strong>HELP Program</strong> uses individual password-protected accounts and  Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to ensure the privacy of any  information in a user's account.
The HELP Program servers are housed in a  world-class data center with 24-hour, 365 days/year system monitoring for  maximum uptime and system protection.</span>
