  • Third Parties with Your Consent or According to Your Instructions. You may provide consent or  authorization to share your personal information with third-party applications or services in several ways,  depending on the functionality available now and in the future through the NTC Services. Please note that  these third parties are not governed by NTC or the terms of this Privacy Notice. We recommend you review  the privacy notice of any third-party application or service before authorizing access to your NTC account  information. For example, you may authorize NTC to share your information with:  
  • Special programs you participate in. If you participate in special programs where NTC partners with  third parties, NTC may share data collected from or about you with its third party partners to facilitate the program or services being offered.

  • Others with your consent. In some instances, you may be able to grant us permission to share your  information with third-party partners, not-for-profit organizations, and other entities that are not  affiliated with NTC. In these cases, we will only provide to these third parties the information you have  authorized or asked us to share to these third parties. You may also choose to share content with  others by email, or by posting NTC content to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Discord or Slack. These third parties may use your information as described in their own privacy policies.

  1. OUR THIRD-PARTY DATA COLLECTION AND ONLINE ADVERTISING PRACTICES 

NTC may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising partners to collect information from  visitors to the Services for the purpose of displaying interest-based advertisements on other websites, apps or  services, social networks, or on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, these third-party ad networks  use cookies and tracking technologies to recognize your browser or device and to collect information about your visit  to our Services to provide you with customized content, advertising, and commercial messages which may be more  relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.  

Please note that we will our best efforts and take multiple steps to avoid the use of Student Data (defined in  Section 8) for targeted advertising purposes, for example, we do not allow third-party advertising networks to collect information on the NTC Learning Platforms for targeted advertising purposes. Additionally, we do not knowingly  direct targeted advertising to individuals we know to be Students on our Services or on any other website or online  service.

Please see the “Control Over Your Information” section of this Privacy Notice to learn how you can opt out of  interest-based advertising.  

  1. CONTROL OVER YOUR INFORMATION 
  • Modifying or Deleting your Account information: If you have an account for an NTC Learning Platform,  you may update your account information by contacting your program leader. You may also update your name  and email address by contacting us at help@newteachercenter.org. Note we may not be able to modify or  delete your information in all circumstances.  
  • Control email communications: You can opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us by clicking the  “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email. Unfortunately, you cannot unsubscribe from Services-related  messaging.  
  • Communications: We may use personal information we collect to communicate with individuals, including to  market to you or offer you information and updates on products or services we think you may be interested in.  You can unsubscribe from marketing calls or text messages at any time by replying STOP or clicking the  unsubscribe link (where available) in one of our messages. For more information, please see our Terms of Service
  • Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: To manage cookies, an individual may have the ability to  change their browser settings to (for example): (i) notify them when they receive a cookie, so the individual  can choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) automatically reject cookies (or  certain types of cookies, such as cookies set by third parties). Note that similar controls may exist for other  tracking technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, and localStorage. Please check your device or browser settings  and related documentation for more information. 
 

Further, note that restricting the use of these technologies might negatively impact an individual’s experience  using our Services, as some features or offerings may be less personalized or may not work as otherwise  intended. Depending on an individual’s device and operating system, the individual may not be able to delete  or block all cookies or other tracking technologies described in this Privacy Notice. In addition, if an individual  wants to reject cookies across all browsers and devices, the individual will need to do so on each browser and  device they use. An individual may also have options within their email client to prevent the automatic  downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether they have  accessed our email and performed certain functions with it. 

  • Online Ads: To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of  this advertising (to the extent the advertising partner or other entity participates in such industry opt-out pages),  you may wish to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) resources at www.aboutads.info/choices or the  Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. You can  also opt-out of receiving some interest-based advertisements on mobile apps by visiting  http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. You may also be able to opt-out of some — but not all — interest-based  advertising served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading  the mobile AppChoices app. 
 

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no  longer see advertisements from us or on our online services. It means that the online ads that you do see from  these self-regulatory program participants (or other participants that may provide an opt-out mechanism) should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with,  any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs, or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.  In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our online services,  including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under those self-regulatory  programs.

  1. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES AND SERVICES 

The Services may contain links to and from third-party websites of our business partners, advertisers, social media  sites, and other services. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own  privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies or content. We strongly recommend  that you read their privacy policies and terms and conditions of use to understand how they collect, use, and share  information.  

  1. HOW NTC USES STUDENT DATA 

This section describes how we collect, use, disclose, and process Student Data collected through the Services.  

Please note that third-party learning providers that schools or educational organizations may engage with through the  Services may have practices and policies that differ from those described herein. The Student Data we disclose to third-party services you integrate, such as web-based learning management systems, as well as any other personal  information such provider collects from the school or educational organization and Students directly, will be governed  by the provider’s own privacy policy and the terms of any other agreement between the learning provider and the  school or educational organization. Please read the privacy policy of any third-party learning provider to understand  their privacy practices.  

General Student Data Practices: In addition to the data collection practices specified in this Privacy Notice, we also  collect the following information in connection with Students and schools and educational organizations: 

  • Information about Schools and Educational Organizations: We ask for certain information when a teacher registers with NTC, or if the representative corresponds with us online, including a name, school/organization name, school district, school/organization email address, school country and state, role at school/organization,  ethnicity, years teaching, current teaching grade level and current teaching assignments, and relevant IT and  equipment information required for Students to participate. Representatives, teachers, and mentors/coaches  may also provide information about Students, such as a class roster. We may also collect information provided  by a school or educational organization if the school or educational organization sends us a message, posts  content to our Sites or through our Services, or responds to emails or surveys. Once a school or educational  organization begins using the Services, we will collect content and information provided by the school or  educational organization through their use of the Services and we will keep records of activities related to the  Services. 
  • Information about Students: We collect information about Students from the school or educational  organization or, in limited instances, directly from the Student, including name, grade or date of birth, email  address, school/educational organization (name, city, state).
  • Use of Video and Audio Services: Depending on their policies, settings and how they use our Services to  provide educational services, the school or organization providing educational services may be able to see or  to share the personal information from Students who join classes, meetings, mentor sessions, or webinars on  their account. The school or other organization’s use and disclosure of Student Data is subject to the school  or educational organization’s policies, not NTC’s. 
  • Student Data Usage and Content: Depending on their settings, the school or other organization providing  educational services – and the people they designate — can access (i) (ii) information about the teacher  participants who joined classrooms or meetings on their account (including participant name, display name,  email address and participant ID); (iii) the content of recordings hosted on their account, as well as a transcript  of audio, if enabled; and (iv) information provided in response to polls, Q&A or other content shared during  classrooms, webinars, and meetings on their account. In addition, teachers may be able to upload video and  audio files. For example, NTC’s Learning Platforms permit teachers to upload video and audio files to the NTC  Services. 
  • Teachers, Mentors, Coaches, Schools, and Participants: Teachers, mentors/coaches, hosts, and other  participants in a classroom or meeting may be able to see, content and information shared by the participants during a meeting and webinar. Depending on settings implemented by the school or educational organization,  teachers, mentors/coaches, hosts, and participants also may be able to record or save classroom or meeting  content, audio transcripts, messages sent to everyone or to them directly, and files, whiteboards, or other  information shared during a classroom or educational meeting. In addition, users may be able to upload video  and audio files to the NTC Services. 
  • Third-Party Integration Services: Schools or educational organizations may choose to install third-party  apps to add features or educational services to their use of the Services, including apps that may receive  access to personal information about Students and other users on their account. Personal information shared  by schools and educational organizations with third-party apps is subject to the school or organization’s  policies and the app developers’ terms and privacy policies, not NTC’s Privacy Notice. 
 

Compliance with Laws: We do not use Student Data for any purpose other than to provide the Services, in  accordance with our contractual agreements with the participating schools, our Terms of Service, and this Privacy  Notice. NTC does not own or control Student Data, which belongs the Student or the School that contracts with NTC to provide the Services. 

The NTC Services are designed to provide protections for Student Data as required by applicable privacy laws. For  example:  

  • The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This Privacy Notice and our Services are  designed to meet our responsibilities to protect personal information from the Students’ educational records  under FERPA. We agree to work with our school partners to jointly ensure compliance with the FERPA  regulations. 
  • Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). NTC is not directed to children under 13 and does not  knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Please contact us at privacy@newteachercenter.org if you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information of a child  under 13 without proper consent so that we may delete such data as soon as possible. 
  • Students Online Personal Information Protection Act (“SOPIPA”). This Privacy Notice and our Services  are designed to comply with SOPIPA. We do not use Student Data for targeted advertising purposes. We do  not use collected information to amass a profile of a Student except in furtherance of providing the features  and functionality of the Services. We never sell Student Data unless the sale is part of a corporate transaction,  such as a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale of assets, in which case we make efforts to ensure  the successor entity honors the privacy commitments made in this Privacy Notice and/or we will notify the  school and provide an opportunity to opt-out by deleting Student Data before the data transfer occurs. 
  • California Assembly Bill 1584 (“AB 1584”). This Privacy Notice and our Services are designed to comply  with AB 1584. Pupil records obtained by NTC from a local educational agency (“LEA”) continue to be the  property of and under the control of the LEA. Parents, legal guardians, or eligible pupils may review personally  identifiable information in the pupil’s records and correct erroneous information by contacting their LEA  directly. In the event of an unauthorized disclosure of a pupil’s records, NTC will notify the LEA and will provide  the LEA with information to be shared with the affected parent(s), legal guardians(s), or eligible pupil(s). Pupil  records will be deleted and/or de-identified in accordance with our agreements with each school and as  described in this Privacy Notice. 
 

Student Data Privacy Principles: We are committed to the following principles to protect Student Data:  

  • We collect, maintain, use and share Student Data only to provide and support the Services as described in  our Privacy Notice, to maintain, develop, support or improve our Services, and as otherwise permitted by our  agreements or with the consent of the parent, guardian, Student, organization, or school.  
  • We do not use or disclose Student Data for targeted advertising purposes. While we do permit third-party  advertising partners to operate on our Services for the purpose of retargeting, analytics, and attribution  services, we take steps to disable third-party ad networks from collecting information for targeted advertising  purposes within NTC Learning Platforms. 
  • We maintain a comprehensive data security program designed to protect the types of Student Data maintained  by the Services.  
  • We will clearly and transparently disclose our data policies and practices to our users.  
  • We will never sell Student Data unless the sale is part of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition,  bankruptcy, or other sale of assets, in which case we will require the new owner to continue to honor the terms  provided in this Privacy Notice or we will provide the school with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of the  transfer of Student Data by deleting the Student Data before the transfer occurs.  
  • We will not make any material changes to our Privacy Notice or contractual agreements that relate to the  collection or use of Student Data without first giving notice to the school and providing a choice before the  Student Data is used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected. 
 

If you have any questions about our practices with regard to Student Data, please contact us at  privacy@newteachercenter.org

How to Review and Delete Student Data: A school or other educational organization may review and delete a  Student’s information, if in compliance with any applicable law, from their administrator dashboard. If you are a parent  or Student, please contact your school or other educational organization to access or delete any personal information.
