PRIVACY STATEMENT

Outside The Classroom, Inc. (the "Company") is dedicated to protecting your privacy concerning the collection, storage, access, and use of the personally identifiable information that the Company collects on its Web sites (the "Sites"). The following statement discloses the information-gathering and dissemination practices of the Company.

By visiting the Outside The Classroom Web site at http://www.outsidetheclassroom.com, the AlcoholEdu for College Web site at http://www.alcoholedu.com, the AlcoholEdu for Sanctions Web site at http://sanctions.alcoholedu.com, TheHealthSurvey Web site at http://www.thehealthsurvey.com, and Alcohol Innerview^TM at http://www.alcoholinnerview.com (see "Alcohol Innerview ^TM") you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement. For information collected on our youth-targeted Web sites at http://highschool.alcoholedu.com and http://youth.alcoholedu.com, please review the section titled, “Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy.”

Information Collection and Use

It is the Company’s policy to respect the privacy of its users of the online education services and of visitors to the Company’s Web sites and portals. These Sites may require certain information from users and visitors during the registration process, such as name, institution or organization name, and email address. In addition, the Company collects information when you navigate through the Sites and complete course sections, tests and surveys, and enter contests. Outside The Classroom collects two main types of information through its Web sites and online services:

• Standard Web server/visitor traffic information commonly referred to as “aggregate information,” regarding overall Web site traffic patterns. Normally, Web servers collect this type of basic information automatically as part of their Web log processes.
  
• Personal or “individually identifiable” information you provide to us when participating in one of our online courses or to process information requests. 

Aggregate Information

Like almost all Web sites, our Sites automatically track some general, but not personal information about where people go on our Sites. We may also maintain records of the movements of visitors anonymously. For example, we may see and record the fact that a visitor has moved from the home page to the survey page without explicitly disclosing the identity of that visitor. That tracking helps us improve the design and content of our Site to provide better information and service.

As with many Web sites, your IP number is visible to us when you visit our Sites. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are connected to the Internet. The Company will only use IP addresses when you sign up for the services or to help diagnose problems with our server.

Individually Identifiable

• Corporate Web Site
  In general, we ask visitors for personal data in order to respond to a visitor’s requests for information. The Company may ask visitors to provide demographic or personal preference data. If visitors elect to provide such data, we may use it to analyze the characteristics of visitors to our Web site. We aggregate information on what pages visitors have accessed and other information volunteered by the visitor, such as survey or contact information.
  
  For individuals who register and take our E-commerce online course through our www.outsidetheclassroom.com Web site, the Company collects additional information including credit card information, registration information, survey data and test results. This information is used in the same manner as for our other online service users, as described in the following paragraphs. Note: We do not store any credit card information on our servers.
  
  
• Online Services
  The Company collects specific data for users of our services, including registration information, survey data, and test results. The Company uses such information to customize the specific information to better meet users’ needs and to provide technical support. The Company shares only the individuals’ progress through the course and test results with the users’ institution or organization.
  
  Student users should be aware that no information will be provided to the user's institution or organization other than: 1) the fact the user completed the course; 2) the user’s progress through the course; 3) the user’s Final Exam score; 4) the user’s email address; and 5) any additional aggregate or blinded data the user's institution or organization may request.
  
  
• Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
  Outside The Classroom maintains Web sites, which may request information from children under 13 years old. Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our Web site from those we actually know are under 13. Written parental permission submitted to the institution’s administrator is required for anyone under 13 who wishes to use our online course.
  
  The Web sites are specifically designed to provide an alcohol prevention course for the high school and youth population. The sites are located at http://highschool.alcoholedu.com and http://youth.alcoholedu.com/. The information collected is name (optional), birth month and year, username, password, survey data (with parental consent in AlcoholEdu for High School) and test results. Parents and students should be aware that the only individual data shared with the user’s institution or organization is the user’s progress through the course and test results.
  
  
• Survey/Test Data
  From time to time, the Company may share with third parties, including the users’ institution or organization, aggregate information about users of the service, such as how many of our users are men. Any survey or test data provided by users will be blinded before provided to your institution or organization or any other third party. "Blinded" means that the Company will extract all personally identifiable information from the data, including names, student email addresses, login IDs, etc.
  
  The Company will never sell, barter or trade any personal information obtained from you unless: 1) you provide us with your consent to do so or 2) the Company is required to disclose information to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process.
