Privacy Policy

This service provides educational resources for teachers and their students, for use in educational settings such as schools or libraries, or for educational use by teachers and students from their homes.

The privacy policy set forth here refers solely to the Teachers' Domain Web site. The policy pertains to how we gather and use information you provide to us while using this Web site. This policy does not pertain to information you provide to us off-line. Please read it carefully, and if you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us.

As the Web site develops, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our practices, and the features of the Web site. As a result, you should periodically review the Privacy Policy so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices.

Gathering and Use of Information
You must supply personally identifiable information when you register for Teachers' Domain (your first and last name, educational role, subject area and grade, school or organization, and state) in order to gain access to any Teachers' Domain resources or tools. Personally identifiable information is used to direct users to Teachers' Domain resources specific to a grade band and content area and to relevant state curriculum standards. Personally identifiable information also may be requested in connection with community postings (e.g., forums), or when submitting comments and suggestions.

Teachers' Domain will not willfully disclose your personal information to any third party without first receiving your permission, unless required by law.

Teachers' Domain may use elements of the information you provide us while using the Web site (such as school location, grade level, or primary teaching discipline, but not your personally identifiable information such as your name, school name, or email address) for internal and promotional purposes.

You may choose to receive email alerts from Teachers' Domain. You can select this option when you register, or change it in your Preferences. WGBH will not share your email address with any other organization.

Community Postings
In the future, listservs, forums and other opportunities to share information may become available. Please be aware that information you convey in these areas becomes public information. You should use caution in disclosing personal information while participating in these areas.

Use of Cookies

Aggregated Data
In order to evaluate use of the Web site, we will record traffic records to determine information such as which pages are most popular, which browsers are most used, how long users spend on the Web site, and which sites they have come from. This helps us understand our audience, but is not matched in any way to personal data that we may also receive.

Cookies
We use a small software file called a cookie to keep track of resource folders (yours and guest) and profile preferences. These cookies are required to use Teachers' Domain. The user's cookie file lives on the user's machine, and can be deleted at any time by the user.

External Links
You will find links from Teachers' Domain to selected Web sites with content of interest to our users. These external links may be operated by third parties who independently produce, maintain, and monitor these sites. Teachers' Domain does not control the content of these sites.

You should review the privacy policies of these third party sites for their policies and practices regarding the collection and use of personally identifiable information as their policies may differ from ours.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of Teachers' Domain following the posting of any changes to these terms shall mean that you have accepted those changes.
