Privacy Policy

COPPA Policies

VARtek fully complies with all COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) regulations and further extends those practices to all users, not just children under the age of 13. VARtek urges all students, parents, teachers, and administrators using the site and other sites to become aware of Web sites' privacy policies. All users are encouraged to become knowledgeable about what personal information is being collected on each Web site. VARtek takes seriously its responsibility to protect the users' privacy. For further information, contact COPPA at www.COPPA.org.

Information Collection and Use

VARtek is the sole owner of the information collected on the VARtek.com Web site. VARtek does not sell, share, or rent this information.

Orders

Orders for any products or services are not taken on our Web site

Sharing

VARtek does not collect demographic information and therefore, does not share any such information. If VARtek partners with an education-specific third party to provide certain services, information to these third parties will not be released except with the expressed written consent of the subscriber school/school district.

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Please be aware that VARtek Services, Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. VARtek encourages its users to be aware that when they leave the VARtek sites they should read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the VARtek Web sites.

Correction/Updating Personal Information:

If a user's personally identifiable information changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, VARtek will correct, update, or remove that user's personal data at the request of the school/school district's contact person. This information would be provided to VARtek by the school/school district contact person and not by the user. If a parent wants to view their child's personally identifiable information then the parent should contact the school / school district.

Choice/Opt-out

It is not necessary for VARtek's Web site to have a Choice/Opt-out policy as the information that is collected by VARtek is not shared with outside parties other than the subscriber school/school district. Also, the user will not be contacted by VARtek or any outside parties except for the purpose of issuing site or service updates or announcements. VARtek's communication with the user will be for informational purposes only.

Notification of Changes

VARtek does not ever intend to collect any personally identifiable information other than what was stated previously in this policy. However, for the sake of this privacy policy, if VARtek does ever collect any additional information or decides to change its privacy policy, it will notify by e-mail the school/school district contact persons of the ensuing changes. VARtek will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. This notification would include how the information would be used, and under what circumstances, if any, it is disclosed. The school/school district would have a choice as to whether or not it authorizes VARtek to use its information in this different manner
