WebCourse does not sell or make available for rental to third parties any information provided by its users.

WebCourse requires users of our service to provide certain information as part of the registration process for gaining access to the service. For those registering to create a WebCourse (“Instructor”) this information will include among other items name, school/business affiliation, school/business address, school/business phone number, age (see Description of Account Holders in Terms of Use Statement) supervisor’s name (e.g., principal) and email address. We gather this data in order to verify information for billing purposes and also to ensure that those who create a WebCourse are legitimate users. Your registration information, such as your email address, may be used to provide communication to you from WebCourse such as confirming your registration, providing reminders of payment status, offering service renewal notices, occasionally sending you updated information about WebCourse, sending requests for feedback that are designed to improve the service provided by WebCourse. Because this information is vital to operating WebCourse, an opt-out option is not available for Instructors who create a WebCourse. We may also provide reminders of service offerings to those who have previously indicated an interest in our service. Those receiving these reminders may choose to opt-out of future notices by following instructions contained within the notices.

For those enrolled in a WebCourse (“Students”) we also require registration and ask for name, email address, gender and birthdate (see Use by Minors in Terms of Use Statement). WebCourse does not require any other information, however, it does allow for the gathering of optional information such as phone number, mailing address and identification number. The email address collected is strictly used for communication purposes within the course. On occasion WebCourse may need to contact, via email, a person enrolled in a course who may be experiencing a problem with service operations. Whenever possible a carbon copy email will be sent to the course Instructor. WEBCOURSE DOES NOT SEND PROMOTIONAL EMAIL NOR DOES IT ALLOW ANY OF ITS THIRD PARTY PARTNERS TO SEND PROMOTIONAL EMAIL TO STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A WEBCOURSE.
