Privacy Policy of Flashmaster LLC
for:
its FlashMaster™ App (application)
and
Flashmaster LLC’s flashmaster.com website
Information about Flashmaster LLC, its Website, the FlashMaster App, and Applicability of this Privacy Policy
This is the Privacy Policy of Flashmaster LLC, a limited liability company, created pursuant to the law of the State of Wyoming. This Privacy Policy (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Privacy Policy”) applies to Flashmaster LLC and to any person or entity, if any, to which and to the extent that Flashmaster LLC assigns any of its rights to any application or website to which this Privacy Policy applies.
Flashmaster LLC can be contacted at the following telephone number: 1-307-690-8577 or at info@flashmaster.com or by means of Flashmaster LLC’s mailing address at PO Box 9321, Jackson WY 83002.
Flashmaster LLC is the owner of the website (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “FlashMaster LLC’s Website” or as the “Website”) whose homepage is located at https://flashmaster.com. The Website is directed by Flashmaster LLC at entities involved or interested in educational matters, professional educators, parents, and other adults.
Flashmaster LLC is the owner of an educational app (i.e., application) for tablets and other computerized devices that is called the FlashMaster™ App. The app and future versions of it are sometimes referred to herein as the “FlashMaster App” or “the App”. The App is designed to help the user master basic arithmetic facts and is directed by Flashmaster LLC primarily to children who are less than 13 years old.
The Privacy Policy applies only to Flashmaster LLC’s Website and to the FlashMaster App.
Because the FlashMaster App is directed to children who are less than 13 years old: (1) the Privacy Policy’s restrictions that apply to the App are more restrictive than its restrictions that apply to the Website; and (2) the obligations that the Privacy Policy imposes on Flashmaster LLC with respect to the App are greater than the obligations that the Privacy Policy imposes on Flashmaster LLC with respect to the Website.
Flashmaster LLC’s Privacy Policy relating to the FlashMaster App
The term “child” is hereinafter used to refer to an individual human being who is less than 13 years old, and the term “children” is used hereinafter as the plural form of “child”.
The only data that the FlashMaster App will intentionally obtain from any user consists of: (1) the user’s voluntary suggestion or suggestions for improving the FlashMaster App; (2) the user’s voluntary description of one or more problems experienced in the use of the FlashMaster App; and (3) if the user describes a problem, but even then only if and to the extent the user desires, the make and model of the tablet used to operate the App, the operating system used by the tablet, the make and model of the printer, if any, being used with the App, and the brand of email used by the tablet. The FlashMaster App is designed so that the provision by the user of any such information will be totally and knowingly voluntary on the part of the user, and so that no information that the user does not intend to transfer to Flashmaster LLC (such as, for example, an email address) will be transferred to Flashmaster LLC. Moreover, the user is not encouraged by the FlashMaster App to provide information by means of any promise or hint of compensation or reward of any kind except, of course, to the extent that the user, on the user’s own, might conclude that providing the information might ultimately result in the improvement of the FlashMaster App.
Neither the FlashMaster App nor FlashMaster LLC by means of the FlashMaster App will intentionally collect directly or indirectly (for example, through cookies) from any child, will make publicly available, will facilitate a child’s making publicly available, or release to any third party any “personal information” (as defined in federal statutes and regulations relating to the protection of the privacy of children) relating to a child, including, but not limited to, a child’s first and last name, a child’s social security number, a child’s physical address, a child’s email address or other online contact information (including a screen name that functions as such), a photograph, video, or audio file containing a child’s image or voice, geolocation information sufficient to identify the name of a child’s street or city or town, any hobby or other interest of a child. In addition, if Flashmaster LLC nevertheless receives by means of the FlashMaster App any such “personal information” that appears to relate to a child (for instance, because text accompanying that information does not appear to have been composed by an individual who is more than 12 years old), Flashmaster LLC will not use any of that information in any way, will not disclose any of that information to any third party, and will make every reasonable attempt to promptly delete all of that information from the records of Flashmaster LLC. Moreover, if a parent of a child contacts Flashmaster LLC and asks Flashmaster LLC to determine if its records nevertheless contain any information relating to that child, Flashmaster LLC will promptly make every reasonable effort to locate any such information and, if and when it does locate such information, Flashmaster LLC will make every reasonable attempt to promptly delete all of that information from its records. (The contact information for Flashmaster LLC is set forth above.)
Flashmaster LLC’s Privacy Policy relating to Flashmaster LLC’s Website
The term “Website Information”, as used herein, refers to and only to information received by Flashmaster LLC directly through Flashmaster LLC’s Website and, therefore, not to any “personal information” relating to a child received by Flashmaster LLC through the FlashMaster App. The Website Information includes but is not limited to the following information if and to the extent that it is received by Flashmaster LLC through Flashmaster LLC’s Website: information relating to the purchase, servicing, repairing, or replacing of one or more tangible electronic learning aids (such as the handheld FlashMaster®) sold on the Website, including but not limited to contact information, such as a name of a buyer or recipient of an electronic learning aid (hereinafter referred to as an “ELA”), a billing address, a shipping address, an email address, a telephone number, a fax number, a name of a brand of credit card or charge card, the final four digits of a credit card or charge card, and information given by a buyer about how she or he learned of an ELA; and information voluntarily communicated to Flashmaster LLC through the Website relating to the FlashMaster App. The Website Information is used for billing purposes in connection with purchases of an ELA, to fill orders for an ELA, to ship items related to an ELA (such as flyers or manuals), to assist in repairing an ELA, to provide instruction as to the use of an ELA or the FlashMaster App, to ship replacements of an ELA, to understand how purchasers have heard about an ELA or the FlashMaster App, to communicate other information relating to an ELA or the FlashMaster App, and to perform other functions relating to the sale, distribution, support, marketing, and/or improvement of an ELA or the FlashMaster App or the development of another ELA or application. The Website Information may also be used to respond to comments made relating to problems, suggestions, etc. relating to an ELA or the FlashMaster App. Unless requested not to do so by an individual or entity, Flashmaster LLC may use the Website Information to contact that individual or entity to inform it about revised or new educational products or services or changes to the Privacy Policy although if the Privacy Policy is amended prospectively, notice of the change or changes in the Privacy Policy probably will be effected solely by simultaneously making the changed Privacy Policy accessible on the Website.
Flashmaster LLC takes reasonable precautions to protect sensitive portions of the Website Information. Any credit card and charge card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes provided via the Website are encrypted and transmitted securely to a nationally-prominent and reputable credit-card-processing company, and the only portion of those numbers, dates and codes that can come into the possession of Flashmaster LLC are the final four digits of the credit card or charge card numbers.
The Website may contain links or references to other sites, individuals or entities. Flashmaster LLC is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any such other sites, individuals or entities or for the accuracy of information displayed on or provided by any of them.
Request by Flashmaster LLC that it be Contacted about any Apparent Violation of the Privacy Policy
