YearBook Privacy Policy and Terms of
Use
YearBook strives to provide users with a better academic experience
by notifying users of course information in a timely manner
and connecting you with Facebook friends and classmates in the
context of a course. Think of YearBook as a Really Simple
Syndication (RSS) Feed of online course information stored in
your school’s learning management system delivered in
an easy to use Facebook interface. YearBook takes your privacy
seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our
privacy policy. Please feel free to contact us with questions
or comments at: privacy@coursefeed.com
What This Privacy Policy
Covers
- This policy covers how YearBook treats personal information
that YearBook collects and receives, including information
related to your past use of YearBook products and services.
Personal information is information about you that is personally
identifiable like
course information, name, address, email address, or phone
number, and that is not otherwise publicly available. .
Information Collection and
Use
- YearBook collects personal information
when you register with us or add the YearBook application
for Facebook®, when you use YearBook products or services,
when you visit YearBook pages or the pages of certain YearBook
partners. When you register with YearBook and sign in to
our services, you are not anonymous to us. .
- When you use YearBook, you may set up your school courses,
form relationships, send messages, upload files, perform searches
and queries, form groups, set up events, and transmit information
through various channels. We collect this information so that
we can provide you the service and offer personalized features.
- When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy
of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable
reversion to the prior version of that information. .
- You post content on the Site at your own risk. Please be
aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you
may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore,
we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post
on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We
are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings
or security measures contained on the Site. You understand
and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content
may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other
Users have copied or stored your User Content.
- YearBook strives to provide notifications to users of
course related content in a timely manner but is not responsible
for lost or late notifications. You are still responsible
for checking your school’s learning management system
for changes to your course.
- YearBook automatically receives and records information
on our server logs from your browser, YearBook cookie information,
and the page you request.
- YearBook uses information for the following general purposes:
to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill
your requests for products and services, improve our services,
contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting.
Information Sharing and
Disclosure
- YearBook does not rent, sell, or share personal
information about you with other people or non-affiliated
companies except to provide products or services you've requested,
when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
o We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process,
or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against
legal claims.
o We believe it is necessary to share information in order
to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential
threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of
YearBook's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
o We transfer information about you if YearBook is acquired
by or merged with another company. In this event, YearBook
will notify you before information about you is transferred
and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- YearBook displays targeted advertisements based on personal
information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies)
may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted
ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages
18-24 from a particular geographic area.
o YearBook does not provide any personal information to
the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad.
However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting
to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption
that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
- By providing YearBook with access to courses
on your school’s learning management system, such as
you grant YearBook permission retrieve all course related
information and content such as but not limited to links to
files, folders, and assignments, announcements, personal contact
information, and course roster information, for the purpose
of displaying and notifying you of online course activity
through the YearBook interface and/or email.
- YearBook does not download, save, or store files that
reside on the learning management system.
To access files YearBook provides links which direct you
to your school's online content system login screen where
you can access the files directly.
- We recognize the sensitive nature of course related information
and content and will maintain the same level of privacy and
separation currently implemented by your school’s learning
management system. YearBook is limited to retrieve only
content links and information that is accessible by you based
on your institution’s online content system configuration
and your enrollment permissions. YearBook will never present
to you information or content you do not already have access
to.
- Because YearBook mirrors your school’s learning
management system only students, teachers, TAs, administrators
and other individuals currently enrolled by your school administration
in your course will display in the course roster and have
access to course materials.
- YearBook may send you service-related announcements from
time to time through the general operation of the service.
For instance, if a friend sends you a new message, or someone
posts on your Course Wall, you may receive an email alerting
you to that fact.
- Generally, you may opt out of such emails by clicking the
opt out link in the footer of each email, though YearBook
reserves the right to send you notice about your account even
if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
Children Under Age 13
- YearBook does not knowingly collect or solicit personal
information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow
such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not
attempt to use YearBook or send any information about yourself
to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or
email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal
information to or on YearBook. In the event that we learn
that we have collected personal information from a child under
age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete
that information as quickly as possible.
Children Between the Ages
of 13 and 18
- We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents
for permission before sending any information about themselves
to anyone over the Internet.

computer.
- YearBook lets other companies that show advertisements

computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject
to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or
other companies do not have access to YearBook's cookies.
Links

of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other
web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave

Confidentiality and Security

to protect personal information about you. For more information
