On some of our websites, you may need to log in to benefit from the service or to make use of all the functionalities and be able to communicate with us or other Blackboard users, such as with Blackboard Community and Behind the Blackboard.</p> <p>This section does not apply to personal information about end users of our clients (including Student Data), please visit <a href="#end-users">End user of an institution that uses our products</a> for the relevant information.</p> <h4>Information we collect</h4> <ul><li><span class="emphasize">Directly from you</span>. Some of our websites require you to sign up for an account. When you do, we ask you for information, such as your name and email address, that we need to set up your account. Often you can also voluntarily provide additional information, such as a photo or biographical information, to make better use of our websites.

We analyze usage information for sales and marketing purposes and for trends about our visitors and their demographics and how they use our websites. This analysis is necessary to further our legitimate interest in understanding our users and how they interact with us and our websites, improving our websites and communication with you (including for marketing purposes). <a href="/web/20200404141050/https://help.blackboard.com/Privacy_Statement#client-engagement-marketing_OTP-4">Learn more about how we use personal information for client engagement and marketing.</a></p> <p><span class="emphasize">Personalization</span>.

For example, if you have indicated your primary industry or your job title, we may present content related to your role or industry as your browse our websites and return to them.</p> <p><span class="emphasize">Communication</span>. If you use Behind the Blackboard, Blackboard Community, or other websites with logins, we use the contact details you provided to communicate with you and to let you communicate with us and other Blackboard users. Typically, we use information in this way because it is required to provide this service to you and because it is in our legitimate interests to ensure our services are being offered in a manner that meets our high standards.</p> <p>We keep website usage information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described above. This period of time will vary depending on the services and websites you use and how you interact with us. Account information is kept until you delete the account and for a limited period afterwards. Where you provide information in forms, the information is kept only as long as required. For example, we may need to keep a record of the correspondence with you if you have made a complaint for as long as it is necessary to protect us from any legal claim. Similarly, if you unsubscribe from receiving marketing communications from us, will keep a record of this to ensure you do not receive such communications in the future.</p> <h4>Who we share this information with</h4> <p><span class="emphasize">Third-party tools</span>. Where we use third-party tools (for example to understand how our websites are used and make sure you see relevant ads and campaigns on other websites), these third parties will have access to some of your personal information.

We provide most of our products and services to end-users of an institution as a so-called ‘data processor’ on behalf of our clients (for example, school, districts, universities, and corporations). This means that the main responsibility for data privacy compliance lies with your institution as the ‘data controller.’ It also means that <em><strong>your institution’s privacy statement governs</strong></em> the use of your personal information (instead of ours). Your institution determines what information we collect through our products and services and how it is used, and we process your information according to your institution’s instructions and the terms of our contracts with your institution.</p> <p><span class="emphasize">Read your institution’s privacy statement</span>.

Typically, our products and services integrate with your institution’s systems. As such, your institution will provide us with information about you to set up and maintain your account or for us to be able to provide the product or service. This includes information in the following data categories: <ul><li><em>Account information</em>: The exact data elements will depend on the product, but often we receive your name, email address, student ID, account credentials, and courses you are enrolled in when we initially set up the products and services for your institution. We will receive regular updated information to keep your account information accurate and up to date.</li> <li><em>Additional contact details</em>: For some products, such as Connect and ConnectTXT, we also receive your phone number to send you text (SMS) notifications.</li> <li><em>Application, enrollment, and financial aid information</em>: If we provide Student Services, such as enrollment helpdesk or admission and financial aid support, on behalf of your institution, your institution will make this type of information available to us to provide these services.

In some products, you can choose to provide your phone number to receive notifications via text (SMS). In our Mobile Learn App you can also give us permission to access your contact list on your mobile device. This allows us to match your contacts to users in Learn and display their photo from the users contact list in discussion boards.</li> <li><em>Credentials</em>: Our products and services often integrate with your institution’s systems and rely on the credentials your institution uses. Where this is not the case, we will collect passwords, password hints, and similar security information that we use for authentication and account access.</li> <li><em>Content and activity</em>: We collect data about your responses to quizzes, your assignments and other course work, and files you submit or upload as well as your activity and actions within our products and services. In some products, you can also provide comments in discussion forums and chats and send messages to your peers and instructors. If you are an instructor, we also collect information about your grading, feedback and assessments, and similar actions within our products.</li> <li><em>Audio and video recordings.</em> Some of our products allow you (as a student or instructor) to submit audio and video feedback, and we collect the related information, including metadata.</li> <li><em>Financial information.</em> If we provide financial aid support on behalf of your institution, we will collect financial information that is required to help you with the related applications.</li> <li><em>Payment data.</em> For some of our products and services, such as Cashnet, we collect data necessary to process your payments, including your credit card number and the security code associated with your credit card. We maintain the applicable Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance levels for such data.</li> <li><em>Support.</em> When you or your institution contacts us for support, we may collect limited information about you that you or a representative of your institution provides to us.

We collect information on how you use our products and services. Depending on which product or service you use, this may include the following data categories: <ul><li><em>Chat and audio recordings</em>. Our Collaborate product allows for virtual classroom sessions to be recorded. There is an indicator if the session is being recorded.</li> <li><em>Location and events data</em>. For some of our Campus Enablement products and services, such as access cards and Attendance, we will collect information about which premises, classes, and events you have visited and attended on behalf of your institution, as well as the time and date of such visits. Additionally, we may collect precise geolocation data when you use the mobile apps for some of our Campus Enablement products. You will be asked if you want to enable location data before we collect such information from your device.</li> <li><em>Notifications</em>. Our Mass Notification and Connect products will collect information on how you react to our notifications. For instance, we record if you listened to our phone call, if we left a voice message, or if the phone call was unanswered.</li> <li><em>Device and usage</em>. We collect device and usage information when you access and use our products and services, including information that your browser or the mobile app sends when you are using it. This data may include your unique device identifier, Internet Protocol address, your browser type and configuration, the date and time of your use of the product or service, language preferences, and cookie data.

We may receive information from affiliates in our Blackboard group of companies, our partners, and other third parties. For example, we may receive limited personal information from our other products or from third-party services that integrate or complement our products to ensure a seamless experience.</li> <li><em>Information from social media sites</em>. When you interact with our products and services through social media services, such as when you log in through Facebook, use Cloud/Social Profile, or share Blackboard content on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, we may receive information from these social media companies. For instance, when you login to a service like CourseSites using a social media account, the social media company will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information from your social media profile with us, which could include your name, email address, age, gender, position, and profile picture. If your institution has enabled Cloud Profiles or Social Profiles, you can also connect your Blackboard profile with your Facebook and Twitter account and use information from those accounts for your Blackboard profile. The data we receive is dependent upon the social media service and your privacy settings with the social media service.</li> <li><em>Social media posts</em>. Our Social Media Manager product allows institutions to collect public social media posts and comments with matching keywords and hashtags to give an institution visibility into social conversations taking place about them. Social Media Manager will retain this information for the institution even if the original content was deleted.</li> </ul></li> </ul><h4>How we use this information</h4> <p><span class="emphasize">On behalf of your institution</span>. We use your information on behalf of and under the instruction of your institution, which is the data controller. We use the information in accordance with our agreement with your institution to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the products and services.

Providing our products and services to your institution may include analytics functionalities. Among other things, such functionalities can indicate your performance compared to that of your peers, project your future performance, and provide this information to instructors and other staff of your institution so they can support you.</p> <p>Please read your institution’s privacy statement for more details on how your institution uses your personal information.</p> <p><span class="emphasize">Product enhancements and research</span>.

Generally, this includes the sharing of data within and outside of Blackboard.</p> <ul><li><span class="emphasize">Within Blackboard</span>.

For instance, our technical teams and client support teams may have access to your information when we set up the product for your institution or when software or database changes are required for support and maintenance purposes.</li> <li><span class="emphasize">With your institution</span>. Much of the personal information we collect and use about you is shared with your institution that uses our products and services and with other institutional users.
