This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from registered users of Boost Math (boostmath.talentlms.com). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through this site and explains in plain language what we do with that information, how we share it, and how we handle the content you enter.

Who We Are:

Collection: The Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
The Boost online math tutorials are hosted on the Learning Management System (LMS) TalentLMS.
When a student signs up for Boost the student must specify information such as name and email address. The information specified on Boost sign up is considered personal student information.
The TalentLMS LMS tracks student usage of Boost. It tracks such things as when the student logs in, the time spent on Boost, and the online tutorial lessons the student has completed. This information is available to the student via the “Progress” page. We have access to the same information for each student. This Boost usage information is considered personal student information. To purchase a Boost subscription the user needs to provide credit card information. This is considered personal information.
How We Use, Process and Retain Personal Information
We use the student e-mail to contact the student when it is required. We try to e-mail students as little as possible. To facilitate this we have the TalentLMS LMS set up to automatically generate notifications to the student’s e-mail on important events (such as when the student is assigned a course). We will only e-mail the student in the following circumstances:
Note that the TalentLMS LMS has an internal messaging capability. Students can send us messages and we can message students. Our preference is to send e-mail. This internal messaging capability is useful however if there is a need to inform all students of a situation. This capability may be used on rare occasions.
The TalentLMS LMS tracks student usage of Boost. We have access to the usage information for each student. We use this information to understand how Boost is being used.
We use the following information, if the student choses to offer it, to gain insights on which Boost promotion initiatives are working.
We do not store your credit card information in our systems. All credit card transactions are processed using secure encryption - the same level of encryption used by leading banks. Card information is transmitted, stored, and processed securely at gateways on a PCI (Payment Card Industry) -compliant network.
We have limited visibility of the credit card information specified by students to purchase a Boost subscription. Stripe provides us a dashboard where financial transactions associated with the Boost subscriptions can be monitored and managed. This dashboard shows the e-mail associated with the Boost subscription and the last 4 digits of the credit card number.

We recommend that students guard their anonymity and sensitive information, and we encourage them to think carefully about what information they disclose in their profile pages.
