If you are a child under 13, please do not send any Children's Personal Information about yourself to us, other than what we request from you when you sign up for the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected Children's Personal Information from a child under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a child under 13 has provided us Children's Personal Information beyond what we request when he or she signs up for the Website, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

Data We Collect/Share
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us.
We will only give your data to partners who you tell us to share your data with.
We do not share Personal Information or Children's Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone outside our company.
The information we collect is retained for educational purposes and to improve our services.
We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless explicitly stated, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information or Children's Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
All of our employees are trained on the sensitivity of student data and are required to sign a contract which requires them to respect, as well as refrain from saving or transmitting personal information to anyone outside of the parties who own that data.
Certain user profile information, including and not limited to, a user's name, reading level, quiz scores, and school affiliation is stored in each user profile. If you are a student, the only users who can view your user profile are yourself, your teachers, and district administrators.
We will not collect any data for the purpose of third party advertising
Removal of data
The data we collect is the property of the teacher, school, or district who enters into this agreement with us. Student and teacher data will be held unless it is requested that such data be purged from our database via signed contract or written request. You can request that data be removed by contacting us at support@rocketlit.com We hold data for the sole purpose of ensuring there is no historical, adaptive data loss in the case of a lapse in subscription for the teacher, school, or district.
Sharing of Data
No data will be transferred outside our own system without the permission of users.
Business transfers may occur. We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information and Children's Personal Information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party, but only with permission given by the district, school, or classroom leader.
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
For improvement of our adaptive learning algorithms and other features, we will collect information that is not attached to Personally Identifiable Information, including but not limited to: quiz score averages, reading level gains, and survey questions.
Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information or Children's Personal Information may be shared with third parties in personally identifiable form, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

We encrypt all passwords and data in transit via SSL. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account, Personal Information, and Children's Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately as well as limiting access to your computer or device and browser by logging out off after you have finished accessing your account.
Security of data
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account, other Personal Information, and Children's Personal Information we hold in our records, and will make every reasonable effort to maintain this security.
