FERPA Compliance

The Service and all User Content may be subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). FERPA is a Federal law that relates to student education records and the personal identification of students and parents. The following excerpt from the U.S. Department of Education provides an overview of FERPA’s main provisions (see http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html):

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students." Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR 99.31):

• School officials with legitimate educational interest;
• Other schools to which a student is transferring;
• Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
• Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
• Accrediting organizations;
• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
• State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.

Additional information about FERPA is available on the U.S. Department of Education website at www.ed.gov. Proprietary Site Content

Copyright Policies and Complaints

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting via the Site any materials that violate the intellectual property rights of another party. When we receive a proper claim of alleged copyright infringement by a user, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers as described herein in accordance with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) at 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe that any material on the Site infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, please fill out and submit our Automated DMCA form.

Conversely, we want to remedy any false claims of infringement. If you believe that content posted by you on the Site was removed by mistake, you can file a DMCA counter-notice by using our Automated DMCA counter-notice form. Upon receipt of a proper counter-notice form, we will forward it to the complaining rights owner. The DMCA permits us to restore your content if the rights owner does not file a court action against you within 10 business days of receiving the copy of your counter-notice.

In either case, users should not take claims of copyright infringement lightly. All users should be aware that the DMCA holds users liable for materially misrepresenting in a notice that material is infringing, or misrepresenting in a counter-notice that their content was removed by mistake. Therefore, if you are not confident in your claims, you should obtain legal counsel prior to submitting any DMCA notices or counter-notices.

Infringement Policy

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat and/or willful infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Site and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Third Party Websites and Content

The Site may contain (or you may be sent through the Site or the Service) links to other web sites ("Third Party Sites") as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, software and other content or items belonging to or originating from third parties (the "Third Party Software or Content"). Such Third Party Sites and Third Party Software or Content are not investigated, monitored or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third Party Sites accessed through the Site or any Third Party Software or Content posted on, available through or installed from the Site, including the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices or other policies of or contained in the Third Party Sites or the Third Party Software or Content. Inclusion of, linking to or permitting the use or installation of any Third Party Site or any Third Party Software or Content does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us. If you decide to leave the Site and access the Third Party Sites or to use or install any Third Party Software or Content, you do so at your own risk and you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any applications you use or install from the site.

User Disputes

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.

Privacy Policy

We care about the privacy of our users and respect the sensitivity of personal information collected by the Site in order to provide various features and services. By using the Site or the Service, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States. The following policy governs the use of personal information provided by users of the Site. By accessing and/or using the Site, you are agreeing to be subject to, and abide by, the following policies. To the extent that the Site contains links to third party websites, we cannot and do not make any representations or guarantees regarding the privacy practices or policies of such third party websites. As such, users should review the privacy policies of any third party websites that are linked to the Site.

User Information, Usage, and Security

As a user of the Site, you may provide various personal information upon creation of your user profile, including your name, email address, schools, majors, gender, birth date, and other related information. The Site also collects information regarding user’s access to, and activity on the Site, including the user’s browser type, browser cookies, IP address, and the frequency and duration of visits to various parts of the Site. The Site utilizes session cookies to indicate when a user is logged in as well as persistent cookies that store your Login ID for convenient login to the Site. Users can disable this persistent cookie via their internet browser.

Course Cracker users can set up personal profiles, make friends, post classified ads, refer friends to the Site, form study groups, upload and download documents, and perform various searches for people, classified ads, documents, and videos. Course Cracker maintains this information in order to optimize the user experience and provide related services and features. The Site may utilize user names and emails to send email notifications about new features/services, new messages, or friend requests. Users have the choice of opting out of receiving such email notifications, but the Site reserves the right to email users about various issues relating to a user’s account. Moreover, the Site allows users to search for other users based on name, school, major, and other criteria. Search results may include certain basic information such as a user’s name, major, city and school. This basic information may be viewed by other users and third party search engines regardless of privacy settings (i.e. even though the information is not viewable by other users). User Content is transmitted/uploaded to the Site at the user’s own risk and there is no guarantee that User Content will not be viewed by unauthorized parties. Users can utilize the Site’s privacy settings to limit the parties who have access to various information, such as user profile information and user documents. However, such security measures are not invulnerable or fool-proof and users should beware that information upload to, or transmitted on the Site, may become publicly accessible. Even after information has been deleted or removed, cached or archived copies of the information may continue to exist and may be accessed. Users should report any improper use of information.

Users can edit their profile if they wish to add, delete or change aspects of their profile (e.g. upload or delete documents, change personal information, etc.) and any such changes will take effect almost immediately. Deleted information may continue to exist in the form of backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will be generally not viewable by other users. However, once a user transmits information to another user (e.g. sending a message to another user), they will not be able to recall or remove such information.

User account information is stored on a secured server behind a firewall. Sensitive information such as user passwords is encrypted using industry-standard secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, information transmitted via email and instant messaging are not secure. As a result, it is recommended that sensitive/private information not be transmitted to the Site, to other users, or to third parties via email or instant messaging.

Third Party Information Disclosure and Advertising

Information posted or uploaded by a user to the Site (including personal profile information, comments, messages, photos, videos, classified listings or other information) may be shared with other users in accordance with the user-selected privacy settings, if any. Users share information with other users or third parties at their own risk and should be aware that such information may become publicly accessible.

Under limited circumstances, certain information in a user’s profile may be shared with third parties, without revealing the user’s identity, to gather information regarding user preferences and to provide more relevant services, advertisements, and enhance the user’s online experience. However, the Site will not provide user contact information to third parties without user consent. As a general policy, the Site will only share information with third parties where it is deemed reasonably necessary to providing and/or enhancing the Site’s services, as required by law, or with consent of the user. In some cases, we may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in order to comply with applicable laws. Such disclosures to third parties (including companies, courts, litigants, lawyers, or law enforcement) will be made when there is a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to comply with the law, prevent fraud or misuse, or to otherwise protect the Site’s integrity and interests.

We may provide information to third party service providers and advertisers in order to facilitate various services and features (including remote server hosting services, instant messaging, or advertising). When using these services, the internet protocol (“IP”) address of the computer you are using to access the website may be disclosed to those third-party companies, and we may use user information from a user’s public profile (such as age and gender) to display relevant ads to you. Third Party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or other instruments, in order to customize and monitor their advertising. We do not have any control over third party cookies or related instruments. These service providers may be given limited access to user information as reasonably necessary.
