As the provider of the Unifrog Platform, we will store these details and may access them for example during troubleshooting or bug fixing. Separately, we may anonymise these details (meaning that they no longer identify you) and aggregate them with similar anonymised details of other Students to publish reports on how different groups of Students use the Unifrog Platform and progress after they have left School (see HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION AND OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR DOING SO for further details.)   If you are a Teacher: <ul> <li>we may obtain details for your registration on the Unifrog Platform from your School (including from Students and other Teachers) (for example the subject(s) you teach and the Students for whom you are responsible). and</li> </ul> <ul> <li>we may obtain other relevant information about you from your School (for example records of your interactions with Students and any other information uploaded or submitted by Students and other Teachers (including in opinions, comments and recommendations)).</li> </ul>   If you are a Parent: <ul> <li>Your school may use the Unifrog Platform to record your email address, and (subject to the school choosing to), we will send you a weekly summary email of the activities your child has done on Unifrog in the previous day. You can unsubscribe from this email at any time. It is the school's responsibility to obtain permission from you to add your email address to the Unifrog platform.</li> </ul> 3.

All this information is then aggregated, and it is anonymised after your account is deleted, so it cannot be linked to you.</li> </ul> 4. Information provided by third parties When you use the Unifrog Website, we may receive information about that use from other companies who provide us with services in connection with it. In particular, if you complete a survey or questionnaire, our survey provider e.g. SurveyMonkey, we will collect personal information contained in (or connected with) your responses, but this information will be aggregated and anonymised before being processed any further, so that it cannot be linked to you. If you are a Student and your School has chosen to use Unifrog’s integrations with the Common Application (the “Common App”), or Parchment, we will have access to some of the application information that is contained in your Common App account and any document or application that is submitted by your Teachers to the Common App, and any document that is submitted by your Teachers via Parchment. Note: Unifrog’s integrations with the Common App and Parchment are optional modules within the Unifrog platform that facilitate applications to universities around the world, and especially in North America. After you have left your School, we may receive information telling us which university or other education provider you have enrolled with, from the Higher Education Access Tracker (also known as HEAT).

For example, we may ask you to positively opt-in to us sending you marketing communications when you first log in to your Unifrog account. Where you provide us with other people’s personal information (for example, if you are a Student and you send someone else your CV through the Unifrog Platform and you give us his or her e-mail address for this purpose), you must obtain their consent before doing so.&nbsp. If you have any questions or you need any further information regarding how we use your information, please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US). SHARING / ENABLING OTHERS TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION When and why might you share my personal information with others? If you are a Student or Teacher, we need to share some of your personal information with your School (including, as applicable, your Teachers or your Students). See below for more details. In addition, whether you are a Student, Teacher, Parent or Visitor, in order to operate the Unifrog Website and provide our services to you, we use carefully selected companies. In doing so, these companies may process your information. We make sure that these selected companies take security measures to protect your information in line with our policies.  We do not allow them to use your personal information for their own purposes and we only permit them to process your personal information as is necessary and in accordance with our instructions. In some circumstances, we may need to share your personal information with a data protection regulator or in order to comply with the law or a legal process. We may also do so where we have another legitimate interest that is not outweighed by your interests and fundamental rights (for example, to maintain the security of our computer systems). Who will you share my personal information with? Students We will share some of your personal information with your School (including your Teachers) so that you and they can use the Unifrog Platform as intended. For example, your Teachers will be able to see some of your information, including your name, details of your education and academic performance, as well as any further education and career opportunities which are of interest to you. They will also be able to access and comment on your activities, skills and interactions, and on any other information you upload or submit. We may also share with your School details of any educational courses, open days, internships, apprenticeships, job opportunities and other similar opportunities offered by universities, other educational establishments and employers that are available to you. Your School and/or your Teachers may choose to upload certain types of information to the Unifrog Platform which they do not want to share with you, for example, opinions or comments on your activities, skills and interactions which are only intended for other Teachers. For the same reason, they may also choose to upload something to your locker, which you are not able to see. This may include personal information about you. See YOUR RIGHTS for details on your right to access any personal information which we hold about you. If you provide us with details of your referees, we will share your name with that referee so that they can provide a reference about you. Similarly, if you send someone else details of your activities or skills through the Unifrog Platform, we will send your name and those details to that individual at your request. If your School has agreed for your School's Unifrog subscription to be paid or part paid for by another entity, for example an education foundation it belongs to, we may pass on to this entity information allowing it to assess how much you have used the platform. If your School’s Unifrog account is integrated with the Common App and you apply to universities via the Common App, The Common Application, Inc. will receive some of your personal information contained in your Unifrog account, including your name, email address, date of birth, details of your education and academic performance. The Common Application, Inc. will also be able to access personal information that is contained in any document or application that is submitted by you, or by a Teacher on your behalf, to the Common App via the Unifrog Platform. If your School’s Unifrog account is integrated with Parchment and you or your Teachers submit a document from the Unifrog Platform via Parchment to a university, Parchment LLC will receive some of your personal information that is contained in your Unifrog account, including your name and email address, as well as any personal information that is contained in the document that you submit. If you agree (by ticking the relevant box when you complete your Unifrog account registration and log in to the Unifrog Platform for the first time), we may share with your School some of your information after you have left school so that your School can contact you about its alumni programme. This includes your name, e-mail address, year of leaving school, and details of any further education or employment you undertake (or have undertaken). Your School will use this information to send you school news. invitations to events. information about work experience, job opportunities and fundraising. and requests to speak at its events, for example. We will rely on your consent as the legal basis for sharing this information with your School. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing the privacy settings of your Unifrog account, or by contacting us (see HOW TO CONTACT US) or by notifying your School, either by email or by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of its messages. Unless you ask us not to, we will share some of your personal information with the Higher Education Access Tracker to find out which university or other education provider you have enrolled with (if any), for the reasons mentioned above (see here) We may remind your university of any interactions you had with them on the Unifrog Platform before you applied to them. We may share details of any further education or employment you undertake with your Teachers so that they can see how you progress after you have left school. Your School may analyse and compare this information with similar (anonymised) information about Students from other schools for its own internal reporting and analysis. We will share your details with an Employer if we are arranging a proposed work placement for you. Teachers We will share some of your personal information with your School (including your Students and other Teachers) so that you and they can use the Unifrog Platform as intended. For example, your Students will be able to see some of your information, including your name, details of the subject(s) you teach and the Students for whom you are responsible. We will also share records of your interactions with Students and/or your opinions, comments or recommendations, together with any items you add to their lockers, if you choose to allow those Students to see this information. If you use the Common App via the Unifrog Platform, The Common Application, Inc. will receive certain information about you, including your name and the email address you use as your Unifrog username. It  may use this information to contact you in respect of the Common App service, for example regarding updates to the online school forms system. If your School uses Parchment via the Unifrog Platform, Parchment LLC will receive certain information about you, including your name and the email address you use as your Unifrog username. Employers We will share your personal information with a Student and their Parent in relation to their proposed work placement. If you are a Student or Teacher: <ul> <li>when you complete a survey or questionnaire, our survey provider, e.g. SurveyMonkey, may collect certain technical information, including data about your device or browser (such as your geographic location based on your device IP address) and data about pages you’ve visited and files you’ve viewed on their website or app to analyse your usage patterns, and for troubleshooting and bug fixing, for example. </li> </ul> Our survey provider, e.g. SurveyMonkey, may also collect personal information contained in (or connected with) your survey or questionnaire responses, but this information will be aggregated and anonymised before being processed any further, so that it cannot be linked to you. <ul> <li>the information we share with your School may also be used by your School and by us for analytical purposes and to help your School use the Unifrog Platform, for example to give your School an impression of how it is supporting its Students. &nbsp. </li> </ul> Who else might obtain my personal information? Whether you are a Student, Teacher, Parent or Visitor: <ul> <li>we use Google Analytics to obtain statistics and insights regarding your access and use of the Unifrog Website (see Information provided by third parties).

KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE We have designed the Unifrog Website keeping in mind the safety of your personal information. All information you provide to us is stored on secure severs. We have put in place technical and organisational measures to safeguard your information. Unfortunately the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.&nbsp. Although we will do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted via the Unifrog Website. any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. If you are worried that your account or your information might be at risk (for example, if somebody else has found out your password), please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US). RETAINING YOUR INFORMATION (this section only applies if you are in the EU/UK) We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for any legal, accounting or reporting obligations.&nbsp. To decide how long we keep your information, we consider the type of information you give to us or which we collect, and how sensitive that information is.&nbsp. We also consider the risk of harm that might occur if the information went missing or if somebody used it in a way they were not supposed to, for example, and the reasons why we are using your information in the first place. In some circumstances, we may anonymise your information, which means that it is no longer connected to, or about, you.&nbsp. If we do this, we may use this information without any further permission from you.&nbsp. Even if you ask us to delete your information, we may still need to keep it in a form that does not identify you (see YOUR RIGHTS). We will keep your information for the following periods, unless we tell you otherwise (or you ask us to delete your information): <ul> <li>if you are a Student or Teacher, we will keep your information for as long as you continue to use the Unifrog Platform. If you do not use the Unifrog Platform for 4 years then we will delete your information. We hold onto your information for this 4-year period so that you can continue to access useful information, such as personal statements and CVs, after you (or the Students you teach) have left school.  If the School Agreement terminates, we may delete some or all of your information from the Unifrog Platform. We will tell your School before we do so, so that you can download your information if you wish;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>if you are a Parent, we will delete your information on any “dummy” account you create on the Unifrog Platform for as long as you continue to use the Unifrog Platform. If you do not use the Unifrog Platform for 4 years then we will delete your information. We will delete any information you provide in relation to a proposed work placement for your child when we delete your child’s Unifrog account. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>if you are a Visitor and you do not access the Unifrog Website for one year, then we will delete your information. </li> </ul> We may keep certain information (for example, your name and e-mail address) for longer periods than those stated above if you have agreed to us using it, for example, for keeping in touch about our products or services, or for our promotional purposes. Please contact us if you would like further details on how long we keep your information (see HOW TO CONTACT US). UPDATING AND ACCESSING YOUR INFORMATION (this section only applies if you are in the EU/UK) If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right under EU/UK data protection laws to access personal information held about you, subject to certain conditions, and to ask for it to be changed or deleted. If you would like to access or amend the personal information which we hold about you, or if you would like us to stop using your personal information, please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US). To learn more about the rights you may have in relation to your personal information see YOUR RIGHTS. YOUR RIGHTS (this section only applies if you are in the EU/UK) If you are in the EU or UK, by law you have the following rights with regard to your personal information: <ul> <li> Access. You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not your personal information is being processed, and, if it is, request access to that personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). We will need you to prove your identity before we release any personal information to you. In addition, we will normally contact your School to let them know you have made a data subject access request. It is our policy not to disclose references about Students given by their Teachers or others. </li> <li> Correction or deletion. You have the right to ask us to correct or delete any personal information that we hold about you (unless we have the legal right to retain it). You also have the right to ask us to delete your information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). </li> <li> Objection. You have the right to object to processing of your information where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.  You also have the right to object where we are processing your information for direct marketing purposes. </li> <li> Restriction. You also have the right to restrict us from processing your personal information. You can ask us to temporarily stop processing information about you, for example if you want us to establish that it is accurate or the reason for processing it.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> Change of preferences. You can change your information processing preferences at any time. For example, if you have given your consent to us to make suggestions and recommendations to you about educational courses, job opportunities, internships, open days, etc, but have changed your mind, you can contact us using the details provided below or clicking the relevant link in any communication you receive (where this specifically relates to marketing messages, see MARKETING). </li> <li> Data portability. In some circumstances, you have the right to ask us transfer a copy of the personal information we hold about you to someone else.&nbsp. </li> </ul> Please note that if you ask us to stop processing your personal information in a certain way or if you ask us to delete your information, and we need to use that information to provide the Unifrog Website to you, then you may not be able to continue to use it.  This does not include your right to object to direct marketing, which can be exercised at any time without restriction. If you would like to exercise any of the rights mentioned above, please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US). The above rights do not apply to anonymised personal information. No fee usually required to access your personal information You will not normally have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights set out above).  However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is unreasonable or excessive.  Alternatively, we can refuse to comply with the request. What we may need from you We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity and verify your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights).&nbsp. This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. Right to withdraw consent Where you have consented to the collection, use or transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.  To withdraw your consent, please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US).  Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. MARKETING (this section only applies if you are in the EU/UK) If you are a Student, as mentioned above we would like to send you information by e-mail and/or via notifications on the Unifrog Platform about services and opportunities from relevant third parties such as universities, other educational establishments and employers which may be of interest to you. We will ask whether you would like us to send you these e-mails and/or notifications when you complete your Unifrog account registration and log in to the Unifrog Platform for the first time.  You can also manage your preferences by changing the privacy settings of your Unifrog account.   We will not provide your personal information to any other third party businesses for marketing purposes, but if you agree, we may provide some of your personal information to your School for its alumni programme (see SHARING / ENABLING OTHERS TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION).&nbsp.
