What Information MAD-learn Collects and Why

You are free to utilize the Services without identifying yourself; however, if you would like to utilize or customize some features of the Services, you must first register with MAD-learn. When you register, we will request certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name and e-mail address. We do not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when it is knowingly and freely provided by such individuals or persons acting on their behalf. We strongly recommend that you not use your social security number or any other confidential, sensitive, personal identifier as a user ID or password for the Services.

MAD-learn gathers information about all users collectively and in aggregate, such as what areas of the website users visit most frequently and what services are used most often. MAD-learn automatically logs IP addresses, session sources, and other data that tracks users’ access to the Services. These logs are analyzed to generate aggregate usage reports regarding our customers’ use of the Services. These reports help us to provide users of the Services with an enhanced online experience. We may disclose anonymized, aggregated user statistics in order to describe the Services to prospective partners or other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

MAD-learn requests personal information for purposes such as the provision of customer service and support, billing, customer surveys, newsletter subscriptions, user group memberships, and to facilitate the educational functions of the Services. The personal information you supply to MAD-learn will not be given, sold, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed to any third parties outside of MAD-learn and its agents, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances. Some such special circumstances may include (i) compliance with legal process, (ii) enforcement of the Terms of Use, (iii) protection of the rights, property, or personal safety of MAD-learn, its users, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The MAD-learn website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by your web browser. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize MAD-learn pages, or register with MAD-learn site or services, a cookie helps MAD-learn to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same MAD-learn website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MAD-learn features that you customized. We place cookies on website visitors’ computers to collect aggregate information for site traffic analysis, such as the number of visitors and the number of pages viewed. The aggregate information we collect through cookies helps MAD-learn monitor how you and other visitors use the site, allowing us to provide an optimal experience and better service; this information is never used to identify you personally.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MAD-learn services or websites you visit.

Electronic Surveys

MAD-learn occasionally posts surveys on its website or through email. Your participation in these surveys is on a completely voluntary and anonymous basis unless we inform you otherwise. We use the information in the responses to the survey to understand our visitors better and to determine how best to serve them. Personally identifiable information collected in our surveys is never sold, rented or shared with third parties for their marketing or commercial purposes.

Email Communications

MAD-learn sends emails and email newsletters to our registered visitors. On occasion, MAD-learn may send emails to individuals such as registrants and Members who have provided us with their email address, informing them of MAD-learn events or promotions we think might be of interest to them. MAD-learn also sends promotional emails to customers and those individuals who have requested an email.

Emailing MAD-learn

MAD-learn makes every effort to respond to email messages requiring a response within seven business days. We try to respond to customer service inquiries related to a purchase within 48 hours. If you email MAD-learn, your message and email address will be forwarded to the appropriate department within MAD-learn. We may choose to save this information. However, any message, material, business information, ideas, concepts or other information sent to MAD-learn by email will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years of age or older.
