Privacy Policy
Statement:
YellowFolder LLC is committed to protecting your privacy. YellowFolder LLC has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.
Collection of your Personal Information:
YellowFolder collects personal information, such as e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone and fax number(s) (collectively, “User Information”), and stores personal information on students and staff of K-12 education entities, including information such as student records, personnel records and other school forms and materials containing private information related to both students and staff members (collectively, “School Information”; User Information and School Information are collectively referred to as “Information”). YellowFolder has taken the commercially reasonable steps to ensure that Information is kept confidential at all times. YellowFolder processes and uses School Information exclusively for educational purposes and to fulfill contractual agreements between the respective schools and districts that own the School Information.
These Steps Include:
- YellowFolder enforces strict, limited access to Information databases for YellowFolder’s internal purposes.
- YellowFolder communicates this privacy statement to all YellowFolder employees and subcontractors, provides training on federal and state law governing information confidentially, and requires strict compliance with data protection and security requirements.
- YellowFolder has not, and will not, sell, rent, disseminate or disclose any School Information or User Information on the YellowFolder system to any other company or organization for any purpose.
- YellowFolder provides each client education entity (“Education Entity”) with the ability to receive electronic copies of any and all data related to such Education Entity kept on the YellowFolder system at all times. YellowFolder also will provide authorized staff of such Education Entity with the ability to review (and potentially, correct) data maintained on the YellowFolder system and related to their tenure with such Education Entity, provided that such authorized staff member follows the laws, regulations and rules for accessing such School Information via formal channels established within the client Education Entity and the legal jurisdictions where it is located.
- YellowFolder retains each Education Entity’s School Information on the YellowFolder system based on retention schedules approved by such Education Entity. Upon a termination of all services with an Education Entity, YellowFolder provides the Education Entity with the ability to receive electronic copies of all records and data maintained on the YellowFolder system, and permanently removes and destroys all data related to such Education Entity from the YellowFolder system.
- YellowFolder communicates via mail, e-mail or other online delivery devices unless you tell us not to. If you believe you are receiving our communications in error or no longer desire to receive these communications, please inform YellowFolder and we will remove your name from our mailing lists.
- YellowFolder will require any successor entity to YellowFolder to adhere to the terms and conditions of this privacy statement, or to provide advance written notice to all the then-current Education Entities using the YellowFolder system of any limitations to this privacy statement, and, in the event that limitations are forthcoming, a reasonable period of notice regarding such privacy statement changes to allow the Education Entity time to seek an alternative storage repository for its data.
