To access and use the website as well as services, you must agree to our privacy terms and terms and conditions posted on the website. Persons and organisations with permission to use our service are considered as the ‘Registered Users.’ You may view parts of the website even if you are not a Registered User of any of our service. This privacy policy is applicable to company’s collection, use as well as disclosure of Personal Information (as defined below) from Registered Users of the website, as well as from persons who just visit the Site. We have adopted as well as implemented this privacy policy as an example of our commitment to protecting your Personal Information from any kind of misuse. By submitting Personal Information through our website as well as services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, and you expressly assent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information by this Privacy Policy.

What Information Do We Collect?
‘Personal Information’ means data that allows someone to either identify or contact you, including, your name, address, phone number, email ID, as well as any other general non-public information about you that is either associated with or linked to any of the preceding data. ‘Non-Personal Information’ means data that is not affiliated with or linked to your Personal Information; Non-Personal Information does not, by itself, allow the identification of individual persons. We collect the Personal Information as well as Non-Personal Information, as mentioned below. Thinker Place collects Personal Information as needed to offer services, as listed in the ‘Terms and Conditions’, as voluntarily granted by you in the course of communication or registration, and as otherwise identified below. Also, we gather specific information which cannot be used to personally recognise any user, such as anonymous, aggregate or analytical data. To use some of our services, you may be required to complete the applicable registration form accessible on the website. All persons who register with us are referred to as ‘Registered Users.’ Some Services may not need any registration. We gather and maintain a record of all the data provided through similar registration forms, e.g. your name, email, mailing addresses, and password and data about your child, e.g., your child’s name, gender, birthday, and interests. For example, individual users who wish to order a Product (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) must offer specific contact information, product shipping information, required billing information, as well as financial information (e.g., a debit/credit card number and its expiration date) (which will be collected by us or our third-party payment processing service providers). For a few of our services, each Registered User may be provided with a unique username as well as password. This enables access to the service. We may track the use of the given usernames and passwords to collect as well as maintain records of those individual transactions conducted through the services by the Registered Users, and those records may be linked with each Registered User’s account profile within the Company system. We also gather other types of Personal Information that you provide to us voluntarily, like your operating system and its version, your product registration number, and other requested information if you contact us via email regarding support. We also gather and maintain records of information that you voluntarily offer to us. For example, we may ask you to take part in a specific survey and may ask you to give Personal Information, like age, birthday, gender or other demographic data. If you enter into any contest, offer or promotion on our site, we will gather the information you offer to participate in the contest, offer, or promotion. If you offer us feedback or contact us via email, we will collect your name as well as email address, as well as any other content included in the email, send you a reply. When you post any messages on the message boards of our website, the data contained in your message or posting will be stored on our servers, and other registered users will be able to see it. However, unless such information is essential for the service or needed by the terms and conditions, we do not need you to provide any such information to us. We also collect additional information through the website and the service that is not associated either with any online account or registration information, and that also cannot be used to identify you personally. Non-Personal Information ordinarily incorporates aggregate, summary, or other anonymous data. It may include, by way of example, statistics regarding the popularity of specific pages within the website, or information regarding kinds of Internet browsers used by the Registered Users. ‘Cookies’ are small files placed on a user’s computer by a website to facilitate the use of that Website. For example, a cookie may have information about a website user’s preferences, so that the website automatically complies with those unique preferences whenever the user visits that website in the future. When using our service, we may create ‘cookies’ on your computer for the objective of facilitating and maintaining your ongoing user session and may collect Personal Information using these cookies to enable the company to identify you in link with the service and to track use of our service for purposes in line with this privacy policy. To make our website and services more efficient and useful to you, our servers (those may be hosted by a third-party service provider) gather information from you, including the type of your browser, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (Its a number automatically assigned to your computer when you use Internet services, which may change from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your every visit. The website and its content is not directed to children, and children are not eligible to use our services. Protecting the privacy of children is highly important to us. We do not gather or maintain Personal Information from people we know are under 18, and no part of our website or service is intended or designed to attract people under 18. Suppose we later learn that a user is under 18. In that case, we will take steps to remove that user’s Personal Information from our databases and to prevent the user from utilizing the Website and the Service.
Use and Disclosure of Gathered Information
The Company uses information gathered from the website and service in several ways, as outlined in this privacy policy. For example, we use Personal Information as required to provide websites and services, to create accounts, and to communicate with registered users. We also use both Personal Information as well as Non-Personal Information when assessing ways to enhance the website and the service. As further described below, in limited conditions, we may disclose gathered information, including Personal Information, to specific third parties in connection with providing Services or as required by law. We will not use or disclose gathered information in ways different from what is described in this policy unless otherwise required by law. We also use information gathered through the Website and the Service to communicate with Registered Users from whom such information was gathered to provide promotional marketing materials about us. However, unlike communications which are essential to provide services (“Essential Communications”), promotional communications are optional (“Optional Communications”), and the company will abstain from sending that type of information to you if you inform us that you do not prefer to receive them, as described in more detail below. Thinker Place uses Non-Personal Information in a wide variety of ways, including, by way of example, to assess the performance of the website as well as service and the general preferences of users, or to generate any anonymous statistics for our benefit or our business partners. Because Non-Personal Information is completely anonymous, and therefore can never be used by us to identify your information, this privacy policy does not limit our ability to use or disclose Non-Personal Information. We may generate Non-Personal Information records from Personal Information by excluding the information (such as your name) that make the personal data personally identifiable to you. If we gather information through the Website and/or the service that you offer to us voluntarily through online forms or surveys, through our email communications or by other means, we will treat that information as explained above, as applied to both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. As an essential part of providing services, we may disclose data gathered from you as described in this privacy policy. For example, we may disclose specific Personal Information about you to our third-party service providers (for example, our third-party payment processors), so long as they are just using the Personal Information to render services to us. If another company acquires Thinker Place, business, or our assets, that CompanyCompany will possess the Personal Information gathered by it and us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as mentioned in this Privacy Policy.
Under specific limited circumstances, we may collaborate with legal investigations and/or we may be subject to legal requirements to disclose information gathered through the website or services, like, by way of example, to a court or a deemed governmental agency. Our policy is to offer such cooperation and comply completely with all such required legal requirements. We may also disclose your Personal Information to protect the rights or property of Thinker Place Company or users of our services and/or to investigate any kind of violation or potential violation of the law, this mentioned Privacy Policy, or our terms and conditions. The disclosures examined by this paragraph (“Essential Disclosures”) are necessary if you wish to use the Service. As mentioned above, Company may use and disclose Non-Personal Information without restriction. If you don’t wish us to make such Essential Disclosures, or to use Non-Personal Information without any restriction, you must not use the Service. We may leverage third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Site. These third-party companies may use data (not including your name, gender, address, email address, or the telephone number) about all your visits to this and other websites to offer advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you enter and win a contest, offer, or other promotion, you expressly consent to (a) company offering your Personal Information (like, your name and address) to the third party providing the prize for the contest, offer, or other promotion, solely to provide you with such prize and (b) company publicly disclosing your name as well as the fact that you won the contest or promotion. Suppose we are disclosing additional Personal Information in connection with a contest or other promotion. In that case, we will disclose that to you in a separate notice before you enter the contest or other promotion. By entering such a contest, offer, or other promotion, you expressly consent to such disclosures.
Access To Personal Information Collected From You
Registered Users may access their Profiles at any time to update their Personal Information incorporated within that Registration Profile. Subsequent uses or the disclosures of information by us will reflect those changes, but we cannot update any required information previously disclosed to any of the third-parties. You may request removal of your Personal Information by us, but note that we may be needed to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this data for a specific time, in which case Thinker Place will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled all such requirements). When we delete any of the collected information, it will be deleted from the active database but may reside in our archives. The website has few security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse as well as unauthorized alteration of Personal Information in the company’s possession as well as control. For example, whenever our service requests that Registered Users offer sensitive information, that information is well-encrypted with industry-standard encryption techniques. When you are trying to view a secure page within the website, such as our website checkout form, an icon of a padlock will appear as ‘locked’ at the bottom of web browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer. Still, the same icon will appear as ‘unlocked’ when the user is mere ‘surfing.’ We currently use an encryption program also known as ‘SSL,’ or ‘Secure Sockets Layer.’ To learn more about SSL certificates, go to http://www.ssl.com/. The credit card authorization applications are sent using the same encryption technology.
Furthermore, any access to Personal Information is physically restricted within all of our own offices, so that only specific of our employees are granted access to information as appropriate to perform particular jobs and tasks (e.g., performing any customer service). Please be aware that, although we try to provide security for information in our possession and control, no security system can defend or prevent against all potential security breaches, and we bear no such liability for uses or disclosures of either Personal Information or Non-Personal Information arising in connection with the data theft thereof. Likewise, our Registered Users are responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of your passwords to any Services, and we bear no liability for any access to, or use or disclosure of, Personal Information, if similar access, use, or disclosure arises in connection with the theft or disclosure (whether negligent or intentional) of a password.

Media Policy
The media information (videos, photos, comments) that you post on ThinkerPlace community platforms might be used to promote our STEM Kits products or in our marketing campaigns. We will neither rent or sell your information to third parties outside ThinkerPlace learning solutions.
Changes to This Policy
Suppose we modify or change our privacy policy. In that case, we will post those changes on the Website so that registered users are always aware of what personal information we gather, how we use it, and under which circumstances if any, we will disclose it. Any modifications will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of a notice through email to you or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site. These modifications will be effective immediately for the new users of our Service. In any event, changes to this Privacy Policy may have an effect on our use of Personal Information that you offered us before our notification to you of the changes. If you do not wish to authorise changes in our use of your Personal Information, you must notify us before the effective date of the changes that you wish to deactivate your registered account with us. Your continued access to and/or usage of the website or service following notice of such changes constitutes your consent to, and acceptance of, this policy, including all posted changes for which we have offered notice as described herein.
