Data you provide to us. We collect information from you, such as first and last name, gender, e-mail and mailing addresses, password, personal health information including genetic testing and family history protected under Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), and user contributions like your responses to quizzes, assignments and other course work, and files you submit or upload as well as your activity and actions within our products and services.

Data collected automatically via technology. To make our Platform more useful to you, our HIPAA compliant servers by Amazon Web Services, Inc. collect information from you, including browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit. We also use cookies and web beacons (as described below) and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and which you viewed. Like most Internet services, we automatically gather this data and store it in log files each time you visit our Site, use our Apps, or access your account. We may link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. “Web Beacons” are digital images we use to log information on our Site and in our emails. We use web beacons to manage cookies, count visits, and to learn what marketing works and what does not. We also use web beacons to tell if you open or act on our emails. “Flash Cookies” are used to store your preferences such as volume control or to display content based upon what you view on our Site to personalize your visit. We do not control the privacy practices of the third parties who place or track Flash Cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover their practices. You should visit the privacy policies of companies who place Flash Cookies to understand their practices. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can typically remove and reject cookies from our Site with your browser settings. If you remove or reject our cookies, it may affect how our Platform works for you.
How We Use This Information. In general, personal information you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid us in serving you better.

-
Research. Research institutions and instructors utilize the information you provide us for educational, research purposes. Although you provide sensitive information included under HIPAA and GINA, rest assured that your personal information is deidentified prior to dissemination and is not linked to you. When used for these purposes, we will implement appropriate safeguards. This may include removing or hashing direct identifiers (e.g., your personal health information) from the data set before sending information to research institutions and instructors.
Disclosure of Your Personal Information. We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent.
Third Party Service Providers.

Notice to California Residents - Your California Privacy Rights (As Provided By California Civil Code Section 1798.83). California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses that share customer personal information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses’ practices related to such information-sharing. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose a customer's personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. Perceivant does not share personal identifiable information with third parties for third parties’ direct marketing purposes. However, as described in our Privacy Policy, you can opt-out by emailing us at help@perceivant.com. Please note that under California law businesses are only required to respond to a customer making such a request once during any calendar year.

You may also request changes or deletions by e-mailing us at the e-mail address set forth below. We will respond to your request, when permitted by law, within 30 days. We may be unable to delete information that resides in our archives.
Security of Your Personal Information. Perceivant takes reasonable steps to help protect your personal information in an effort to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Despite these measures, you should know that Perceivant cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

These Terms govern your access to and use of Perceivant’s software, products, and/or services (individually or collectively, the “Products”) and any information, content, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded, purchased, or appearing on or through the Products (collectively referred to as “Content”). These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access and use the Products (“Users”).
By accessing or using the Products you agree to be bound by these Terms.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE TO YOU, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms supersedes or limits your rights under (1) the terms and conditions of any written agreement you have entered into with Perceivant regarding the use of Products, or (2) applicable laws or regulations to the extent these Terms are prohibited by such laws or regulations. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of an applicable written agreement you have entered into with Perceivant, the terms and conditions of the written agreement shall control.
1. Basic terms & accounts
You are responsible for your use of the Products. You may use the Products only if you can form a binding contract with Perceivant. Your account with Perceivant (and use of the Product) gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Products on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf. You may use the Products only in compliance with these Terms, any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Products, and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.
In cases where you have authorized or registered another individual, including a minor, to use your account(s), you are fully responsible for (i) the online conduct of such User; (ii) controlling the User’s access to and use of the Products; and (iii) the consequences of any misuse. Perceivant requires that the parents, guardian, or other authorized adult or educational institution of a minor affirmatively consent to the use of a Perceivant Product by such minor. Perceivant reserves the right to provide access to the minor’s account to the minor’s parents, guardian or other authorized adult or educational institution, upon such adult’s request. For additional information on how we use your information, please see our Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Perceivant shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, nor for any User’s acts or omissions.
2. Privacy & use of personal information
Any information that you provide to Perceivant, including first name, last name, email address, and any other information including personal information you have provided, may provide, or may be collected by us in connection with your use of the Products (“Your Information”), will be collected, maintained and used in order to provide the Products to you or your institution, or in accordance with these Terms, our privacy policy located here (“Privacy Policy”), any additional terms applicable to an individual Product, and any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Product. You understand that, through your use of the Products, you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in these Terms, the Privacy Policy and any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Product) of Your Information, including the transfer of Your Information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, hosting, processing, and use by Perceivant.
For the avoidance of doubt, personal information that includes Student Data (defined below) provided to Perceivant through the use of these Products is governed by the terms of the agreement between Perceivant and the educational institution relevant to your use of the Products. As between Perceivant and you, you and/or the educational institution own all right, title and interest to all Student Data you provide or otherwise make available to us, and we do not own, control, or license such Student Data, except so as to provide the Products to you and to the educational institution that provides the products and controls Student Data from the educational records, if applicable, and as described herein. “Student Data” is any information (in any format) that is directly related to an identifiable current or former student that is maintained by a school, school district, or related entity or organization, or by us, as part of the provision of the Products. Student Data may include “educational records” as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Perceivant agrees to treat Student Data as confidential and not to share it with third parties other than as described in Perceivant’s agreement with the educational institution.
If you have any questions regarding the privacy and use of Your Information, please contact us at info@perceivant.com, or your educational institution.

You may be able to control the Content that other Users of certain Products may access through the privacy options in certain Products.
You retain your rights to any Content you submit, post, or display on or through the Products. By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Products, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, host, store, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, create derivative works from, communicate, display, and/or distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed) as part of providing any of the Products.

You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any Content that you submit.
All Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such Content.

Further, in connection with Content you submit, post, or display on or through the Products, you affirm, represent, and warrant the following: (a) you have the written consent of each and every natural person who is identifiable in the Content, if any, to use such person’s name or likeness in the manner contemplated by any Product and these Terms, and each such person has released you from any liability that may arise in relation to such use; (b) you have obtained and are solely responsible for obtaining all consents as may be required by law to post any Content relating to third parties; (c) your Content and Perceivant’s use thereof as contemplated by these Terms and any Product will not violate any law or infringe any rights of any third party, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights and privacy rights; and (d) Perceivant may exercise the rights to your Content granted under these Terms without liability for payment of any guild fees, residuals, payments, fees, or royalties payable under any collective bargaining agreement, licensing arrangement or otherwise.
Perceivant respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects Users of the Products to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law and are properly provided to us.

You may use mobile data in connection with BearTracks and may incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services. You agree that you are solely responsible for any such charges.

Any third-party code that may be incorporated in BearTracks is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of BearTracks or any copy thereof, and Perceivant or its third-party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in BearTracks (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in these Terms, is void. Perceivant reserves all rights not expressly granted under these Terms. BearTracks originates in the United States, and is subject to United States export laws and regulations.

You and Perceivant acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as relates to your license of the App Store-Sourced Software, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store-Sourced Software against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

11. General terms
A. Waiver & severability
The failure of Perceivant to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect; except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal class action/jury trial waiver set forth in Section 11(B)(iii) below, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.
B. Governing law; dispute resolution
(i) Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence. All claims, legal proceedings, or litigation arising in connection with the Products will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.
(ii) Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM PERCEIVANT. For any dispute with Perceivant, you agree to first contact us at help@perceivant.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Perceivant has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, by binding arbitration by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then in effect for AAA, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, unless you and Perceivant agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Perceivant from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
(iii) Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSON AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE PRODUCTS FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE (1) PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND PERCEIVANT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS OR THESE TERMS.
(iv) Limited Applicability of Arbitration and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. Certain laws, rules, and regulations that may apply to you may not allow you to pre-agree to binding arbitration or waive your rights to join in a representative proceeding or waive your rights to a jury trial. If such laws apply to you, the arbitration requirements set forth in subsection (ii) and/or the class action/jury trial waiver set forth in subsection (iii) do not apply to you.
