Privacy Policy

Overview
 

This Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, together with our Terms of Service and any other documents referred to in this Privacy Policy, sets out the basis on which any personally identifiable information we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.

We take privacy extremely seriously at Classed Educators and are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We use your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will prevail.

Legal Basis For Processing

We collect and use the Personal Data described below in order to provide you with access to our Service in a reliable and secure manner. We also collect and use Personal Data:

For our legitimate business needs; which include providing our Service to you, promoting our business and informing our marketing strategy; enforcing our legal and contractual rights; improving our Service for the benefit of you and other users; IT and network security and prevention of fraud. 
To comply with our legal obligations.

To the extent we process your Personal Data for any other purposes, we ask for your consent in advance or require that our partners obtain such consent.

By using the Site, you consent to the use of cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Site, your choices regarding cookies and further information about cookies.
 
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the Site. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. We use persistent cookies and session cookies on this Site. A persistent cookie is stored on a user’s device in-between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of a user across the Site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. A session cookie allows the Site to link your actions during a browser session. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and then close your browser.

How We Use Cookies

There are four main types of cookies – here’s how and why we and our third party partners use them.

Site functionality cookies: These cookies allow you to navigate the site, sign in to your account and purchase products 
Site analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to measure and analyse how our visitors use the site, to improve both its functionality and your experience 
Customer preference cookies: When you are browsing or purchasing a product, these cookies will remember your preferences (like your preferred currency), so we can make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, and more personal to you 
Targeting or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver ads relevant to you. They also limit the number of times that you see an ad and help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

By using our site, you agree to us placing these sorts of cookies on your device and accessing them when you visit the site in the future. If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, the “help” section in your browser should provide instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies. You can set up your browser options, to stop your computer accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use the whole of the Site or all functionality of the services.

Another way to control cookies in your browser is by using "ad blocker" software. These tools often give you control over specific services which you can allow or block.

Please note that by deleting or disabling future cookies, your user experience may be affected, and you might not be able to take advantage of certain functions of our site, and the complete Classed Educators user experience that we pride ourselves on providing our customers.
