Cookies and Interactions with other Sources
During a visit to our site, no personally identifiable information about you is collected. Most information on our site is free to browse at your leisure without the need for you to provide us with personally identifiable information. www.joy2learn.orgcollects other information, non-personally identifiable information from site visitors. This means that we do not track these items on an individual basis that identifies the site visitor, but rather gather and collect this information on an aggregate (or anonymous) basis that includes all site visitors. Non-personal information may include information such as tracking the site pages that are visited, the amount of time spent on our site, clicks, pageviews, events (which shopping tools you interacted with), and zip code.
Our primary goal in collecting aggregate information from you is to be able to perform site metrics that allow us to improve the functionality of the website. We need to collect aggregate information in order to track page visits and peak site usage time, and to perform site click through analysis and site layout re-design.
We may use session and persistent “cookies,” session logs, spotlight ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags, banner ads or links, and third-party click tracking analytics tools (such as HubSpot, DoubleClick, Efficient Frontier, Flurry, and Google Analytics) to collect aggregate or other non-personally identifiable information about site visitors.
What do we use Non-Personally Identifiable (Aggregate) Information for?
Non-Personally identifiable information collected on www.joy2learn.org may be used to:
1. Compile aggregate and statistical data to help in website design and to identify popular features
2. Measure site activity to allow us to update our site to better meet user wants and needs
3. Make the user experience more customer friendly
www.joy2learn.org utilizes non-personal data for the purpose of performing analytics on the users’ experience while visiting this site. This analysis:
1. Is performed on an aggregate level and does not identify you or your information personally
2. May involve the use of a third-party vendor acting on behalf of joy2learn.

Cookies and Behavioral Advertising
A “cookie” is a small text file that helps us in many ways to make your visit to our website more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies can avoid you having to log in every time you come back to one of our websites. They also allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. There are a couple different types of cookies.
A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever.
A “persistent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, or c)you manually remove them. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies, however, this may prevent you from having access to some site functions or features.
This site may use a third party to deliver site functionality such as fulfilling your request to book appointments or purchase items or services from joy2learn. In performing this function, the third party may place a persistent cookie on your computer or have to gather personal information from you in order to facilitate the processing of your purchase.
This site may use a third-party click tracking analytics tool (such as HubSpot, DoubleClick and Google Analytics) to capture click through statistics.
www.joy2learn.org may use spotlight ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags which are site instrumentation tools that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page has been viewed or not and, if so, how many times. Emails or electronic newsletters we send may use tools (e.g., pixel tags or web beacons) to gather email metrics and information to improve the reader’s experience such as how many of the emails are opened, if they were printed or forwarded, the type of device (e.g., mobile or PC) from which they were opened, and the city, state, and county associated with the applicable IP address. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a webpage, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon.
When you visit our website, the server housing the pages automatically generates a “session log.” We use session logs to help us determine how people travel through our site. In this way, we can structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we’re providing is being used. The only data gathered is the Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you came (which contains no personal information), the website that referred you, the pages you visited and the date and time of those visits.
If you visit this site with an open ID, you may integrate with third-party social media sites, and www.joy2learn.org may track on an aggregate level the number of visits to this site with an open ID, the number of items “liked” on this site, or items on this site that you choose to share with a third-party social media site.
Users may be directed to www.joy2learn.org via banner ads, site links or QR Codes. Ads, site links or QR Codes may use tools such as cookies or web beacons to deliver metrics on the effectiveness of the ads or links. They do not collect personal information from the user.
Interest-Based/Online Behavioral Advertising
On some pages of our site we may allow third-party advertising partners to set web tracking tools (e.g., cookies and web beacons) to collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information regarding your activities on those pages (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). We may also share such information we have collected with third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites)for purposes of delivering future targeted advertisements to you when you visit other (non-joy2learn) sites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.”
Do Not Track Disclosure

California Privacy Rights
California defines PII as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
Under “Personal Information” and “Cookies and Interactions with other Sources” we explain the categories of PII that we collect.
Under “Personal Information” and “What do we use Non-Personally Identifiable (Aggregate) Information for?”, we explain how we use PII that is collected.
Under “Interest-Based/Online Behavioral Advertising”, we explain how we share PII.
If you live in California, you have additional rights with respect to certain PII that we collect. This includes:
1. The right to learn about the categories of PII that we collected from or about you in the past 12 months
2. Obtain a copy of PII that we have collected from or about you, no more than twice every 12 months
3. Learn about the kinds of third parties with whom we may have shared PII
4. Obtain the categories of PII that we may have sold or otherwise shared in the past 12 months

You can make requests to receive copies of PII and to have PII deleted on behalf of members of your household by submitting requests on their behalf along with written authorization from each member of your household.
You can also submit requests through an agent (like an attorney, or someone else you trust) that you have authorized in writing to act on your behalf. To do so you’ll need to either present a power of attorney for them to act on your behalf or give your agent your written and signed permission to do so.
Either way, we will need to verify your identity to protect your security. We will ask you to provide several data points like name, address, mobile phone and email address to match against the information we have in our systems. We have this process so we can verify the identity of the consumer making the request to a reasonable degree of certainty as detailed in the California Consumer Privacy Act. We want to be sure that we are returning potentially sensitive information about you or the things that you buy in our stores only to you or your agent, authorized to receive it. If we cannot verify your identity, we will have to reject your request. Otherwise, we will notify you when your request has been completed. In accordance with the CCPA regulations, we will not disclose certain sensitive information in response to a request for access to specific pieces of personal information, including Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government- issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, account passwords, or unique biometric data. If you’re making requests on behalf of your household, we will also need to verify the identities of each member of your household.
In order to exercise these rights, contact us support@joy2learn.org. Requests are generally free of charge, and we will generally process your request within 45 days unless we have a specific reason for an extension of time.
