OpenSeat (“OpenSeat,” “we,” or “us”) respects the privacy concerns of the users of its website and the services provided therein (the “Site”), any related sites, or online services offered by OpenSeat. This privacy policy, subject to OpenSeat’s Terms of Use, explains what information is gathered during a visit to the Site, how such information may be used, and the choices you have about how that information is used.

Please read this policy carefully before using the site and services. If you do not accept this policy, do not use the site or services.

This policy may change from time to time. If you have questions about the policy, please contact us via the contact information listed below.

1. Your use of OpenSeat

While OpenSeat offers virtual wellness coaching to school-aged children, this Site is intended for use by individuals 13 years of age or older. If you are under age 13, ask a school leader, parent, or guardian to assist you in signing up for virtual wellness coaching through this Site.

By using OpenSeat’s Site, you agree to follow the Site’s Terms of Use [INSERT LINK when live].

2. Information We Collect

As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or email address, is automatically collected from your visit to the Site.

When you sign up, we request your name, email address, and school.

Once students have received access to OpenSeat virtual wellness coaching, with the consent of a parent or guardian, they will be able to book coaching sessions. Student and/or parent contact information may be gathered as part of the booking process. That information will only be used for booking purposes.

Certain non-personal information is automatically recorded by the standard operation of OpenSeat’s internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience.

The Site’s various mailing lists, downloads, special offers, contests, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact information such as your name, mailing and/or email address, demographic information such as your age and gender, and personal preference information such as your preferred software and interests.

3. How We Use Your Information

How the information gathered by coaches and school administrators is used is governed by federal and state law and described in consent forms provided to students’ parents and guardians. OpenSeat coaches may share information with school-based staff working with participating students to better assist them. Coaches are required by law to share information with parents or others in certain circumstances: 1) If a student shows risk of suicidal behavior, 2) If a student intends to do serious bodily harm to themselves or another person, or 3) If there is reason to suspect abuse or neglect.

Information submitted at the time of submission will be used by OpenSeat only as necessary for our legitimate business interests. This includes providing the services, communicating with you, and diagnosing and resolving website or other problems with the services.

None of the information gathered through this website or wellness coaching will be shared with other organizations for business or marketing purposes.

OpenSeat may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with OpenSeat’s rights or property, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

OpenSeat may also be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

4. How We Use Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s computer hard drive for record keeping purposes. We use cookies to make using our Site easier by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. These cookies are restricted for use only on our Site, and do not transfer any personal information to any other party.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can, however, reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please consult the technical information relevant to your browser for instructions. If you choose to disable your cookies setting or refuse to accept a cookie, some parts of the Site may not function properly or may be considerably slower.

5. Security: How We Protect Your Personally Identifiable Information

Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to attempt to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access and improper use. This includes active measures to protect against malware, spyware, and viruses. We also protect your personally identifiable information offline.

Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We continually review all such measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, OpenSeat cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to OpenSeat, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
