Clear GIFs Information: When you use the LessonGateway.com site, we may employ "clear GIFs" (a.k.a.

The Ways LessonGateway.com Uses Information

If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Website, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to the User the features and functionality of the Website. Any personal information that you voluntarily disclose online (through links to resources, in comments made in reviews, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major LessonGateway.com site changes or for customer service purposes).

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the LessonGateway.com site and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends. We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the LessonGateway.com site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

When LessonGateway.com Discloses Information

We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the LessonGateway.com site. As you might expect, LessonGateway.com must cooperate with legal authorities, and may in some circumstances be required to disclose personally identifiable information in response to requests from law enforcement authorities, or in response to a subpoena or other legal process. In the unlikely event that this does happen we will provide only the information required.

Third-party Advertisers

LessonGateway.com allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the LessonGateway.com site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the LessonGateway.com site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see. LessonGateway.com does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks.

Data Security

LessonGateway.com uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to LessonGateway.com and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, LessonGateway.com makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Merger or Sale

In the event that LessonGateway.com is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
