Privacy Policy | READTYCH Website and Digital Services

1. Our Approach to Privacy

Education is built on trust. Technology used around education should be built with that same responsibility.

In this Policy, “READTYCH,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to READTYCH CORP. “You” and “your” refer to the person visiting or using the Website.

By using the Website, you acknowledge the privacy practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not submit personal information through the Website.

3. What This Privacy Policy Covers

This Policy applies to personal information collected through the public READTYCH website, including its contact forms, pilot applications, partnership inquiries, newsletter registrations, account features, demonstrations, downloads, and other website functions that link to this Policy.

These pages, forms, and features are collectively referred to as the “Website.”

This Policy does not automatically govern every READTYCH product, institutional pilot, student account, school deployment, device, software service, research program, or employment relationship.

Additional privacy notices and agreements may apply to:

Students and children
Educators and school administrators
School and district accounts
Government education programs
Institutional pilots
READTYCH devices and software
Job applicants and employees
Publishers and application developers
Research participants
Commercial and strategic partners

Where a product-specific, institutional, or program-specific privacy agreement applies, that agreement will govern the information and activities it specifically covers.

4. What Personal Information Means

“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked with an individual.

It generally does not include information that has been properly aggregated or de-identified to the point that it can no longer reasonably be connected to a particular person.

The precise legal definition of personal information may vary depending on the law that applies where you live.

5. Information You Provide to READTYCH

We collect personal information when you choose to provide it. The information we receive depends on how you interact with the Website.

If the Website allows you to create an account, we may collect your name, email address, username, authentication information, account preferences, and related account activity.

Transaction Information

If READTYCH offers products or paid services through the Website, we may collect order information, billing details, delivery information, and transaction records.

An authorized payment provider may process payment information. The payment provider may collect and process payment card information in accordance with its own privacy policy and security practices.

Materials You Submit

If you send us a document, proposal, application, image, presentation, research material, or other file, we may collect and review its contents.

Please do not send student education records, passwords, financial account details, health information, confidential business information, or other sensitive material through a general Website form.

Submitting information through a general Website form does not create a confidential relationship between you and READTYCH.

6. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically through cookies, server logs, pixels, and similar technologies.

Depending on the Website tools in use, this information may include:

Internet Protocol address

Device type
Operating system
Language preference
Referring website
Pages viewed
Links selected
Date and time of access
Time spent on a page
General location derived from an IP address
Website errors and performance information
Cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers

We may use this information to operate the Website, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, understand how visitors use our pages, and improve the Website experience.

7. Information Received From Other Sources

READTYCH may receive information about you from another person or organization.

For example, a school leader may include your professional contact information in a pilot inquiry, a colleague may introduce you as a potential partner, or an event organizer may provide information connected with a meeting or educational event.

We may also receive information from publicly available professional sources, business partners, event organizers, social media platforms, or service providers, the collection and use of which are permitted by law.

We use information received from other sources for the purposes described in this Policy.

8. How We Use Personal Information

READTYCH uses personal information where we have a legitimate and lawful reason to do so.

To Respond to You

We use your information to answer questions, route an inquiry, schedule a conversation, provide requested materials, and follow up about a potential demonstration, pilot, deployment, research project, investment, or partnership.

To Evaluate Opportunities

We may use professional and organizational information to understand whether READTYCH may be appropriate for a school, district, government program, publisher, technology partner, university, investor, nonprofit, or other organization.

To Operate the Website

We use information to provide Website features, maintain accounts, remember preferences, process forms, improve navigation, and keep the Website functioning.

To Review Pilot Applications

We may use the information submitted through a pilot application to evaluate institutional fit, educational goals, proposed participation, technical requirements, timeline, product readiness, and possible next steps.

To Improve READTYCH

We may review Website activity, inquiries, and feedback to understand what visitors are looking for, which pages are useful, where people experience difficulties, and how our content, Website, or product direction can improve.

To Communicate With You

If you request updates or provide appropriate permission, we may send product news, development updates, event information, pilot opportunities, and other READTYCH communications.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time.

To Protect READTYCH and Its Users

We may use information to prevent fraud, investigate misuse, protect accounts, detect security threats, enforce our Terms of Use, and maintain the integrity of our Website and systems.

To Meet Legal Obligations

We may process information to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, maintain required records, establish or defend legal claims, and cooperate with regulators or law enforcement where legally required.

To Support Business Operations

We may use personal information for internal administration, planning, auditing, reporting, security, and the evaluation of READTYCH operations.

If READTYCH proposes to use personal information for a materially different purpose, we will provide additional notice or request consent where required by law.

9. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires READTYCH to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, we may rely on one or more of the following grounds.

Consent

You have permitted a particular use, such as receiving marketing communications.

Contractual Necessity

Processing is necessary to take steps at your request or to perform an agreement with you.

Legitimate Interests

Processing supports a legitimate business purpose, such as responding to inquiries, improving the Website, protecting our systems, or developing professional relationships, provided that your rights do not override those interests.

Legal Obligation

Processing is necessary to comply with applicable law or another legal requirement.

Protection of Rights

Processing is necessary to protect READTYCH, our users, another person, or the public from fraud, misuse, security threats, or other harm.

Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

10. How We Disclose Personal Information

READTYCH does not disclose personal information simply because another organization may find it useful.

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies that help us operate the Website and conduct our business.

These service providers may support:

Website hosting
Cloud storage
Email delivery
Customer relationship management
Form processing
Website analytics
Cybersecurity
Technical support
Payment processing
Professional services

Service providers may process personal information only for the services they provide to READTYCH or as otherwise permitted by law and their applicable agreements.

Within READTYCH

Personal information may be shared with READTYCH employees, officers, contractors, and authorized representatives who need it to perform their responsibilities.

Access should be limited according to role and legitimate business need.

With Your Organization

If you contact us on behalf of a school, district, government agency, university, company, or other institution, we may communicate with other authorized representatives of that organization about the inquiry.

Professional Advisers

We may share information with attorneys, auditors, accountants, insurers, consultants, and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by applicable law, a court order, a subpoena, a regulatory request, or another lawful process.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, protect security, enforce an agreement, or protect the rights and safety of READTYCH, our users, institutions, or the public.

Business Transactions

If READTYCH is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be reviewed, disclosed, or transferred as part of that process.

Any recipient will be expected to handle the information in accordance with applicable law and any privacy commitments that remain in effect.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you ask us to do so or provide permission.

READTYCH does not sell personal information for monetary payment.

Some US state privacy laws define the terms “sale,” “sharing,” and “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary exchange of personal information for money. Certain advertising cookies, pixels, and analytics arrangements may fall within those definitions.

Where required by applicable law, READTYCH will provide appropriate notices and choices concerning the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, and qualifying browser-based opt-out requests.

READTYCH does not intend to sell or use student personal information for targeted advertising.

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a browser or device. They help websites function, remember preferences, measure activity, and understand how visitors interact with different pages.

Depending on the technologies in use, the READTYCH Website may use the following categories of cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential functions such as security, form submission, account access, and Website operation.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, region, or display settings.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand Website traffic, page performance, and visitor interaction.

Marketing Cookies

If used, these cookies may help measure campaigns or support advertising. Where consent is required, they should not be activated until the visitor has made an appropriate choice.

You may be able to manage non-essential cookies through a Website cookie preference tool or your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

Additional information about specific cookies and providers may be made available through a Cookie Policy or cookie preference tool.

13. Marketing Communications

READTYCH may send you product updates, newsletters, event information, pilot opportunities, and other promotional messages if you request them or where applicable law otherwise permits.

You can unsubscribe by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us at info@readtych.com.

We may continue to send non-promotional communications where necessary. These may include responses to an inquiry, security notices, account information, or communications concerning an existing business relationship.

14. Data Retention

READTYCH retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The retention period may depend on:

The nature of the information
The reason it was collected
Whether an inquiry or business relationship remains active
Legal, accounting, or reporting requirements
Security and fraud-prevention needs
The need to establish or defend legal claims

When information is no longer reasonably required, READTYCH may delete it, anonymize it, or securely isolate it until deletion is possible.

Student information processed through a future READTYCH product or institutional program should not be retained longer than necessary for the authorized educational purpose and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

15. How We Protect Information

READTYCH uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or misuse.

Depending on the systems and information involved, these safeguards may include access controls, authentication, encryption, system monitoring, secure hosting, backups, staff procedures, and service-provider oversight.

No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

You should use care when sending information online. Do not submit passwords, confidential student records, financial account details, health information, or other sensitive data through an ordinary contact form.

If you believe information submitted to READTYCH may have been compromised, contact us at info@readtych.com.

16. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on how you interact with READTYCH and where you live, you may have certain choices or rights concerning your personal information.

You may be able to:

Unsubscribe from marketing communications
Manage non-essential cookies
Update information you previously provided
Ask questions about our privacy practices
Request access to certain personal information
Request correction of inaccurate personal information
Request deletion of certain personal information
Request a portable copy of certain information

Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, sharing, or profiling where applicable law provides that right

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

For example, READTYCH may retain information needed to complete a transaction, protect security, comply with law, maintain records, or establish or defend legal claims.

17. How to Submit a Privacy Request

To exercise an applicable privacy right, email info@readtych.com with the subject line:

Privacy Request

Please include:

Your full name
The email address associated with your interaction
Your state or country of residence
The privacy right you wish to exercise
Enough information for us to locate the relevant records

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Information provided for verification will be used for that purpose.

Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We may ask for evidence of the agent’s authority and may need to verify your identity directly.

READTYCH will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If we deny a request, we will explain the reason where required and provide information about any available appeal process.

18. US State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain US states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Depending on the law and whether it applies to READTYCH, those rights may include the ability to:

Confirm whether personal information is being processed
Access personal information
Correct inaccuracies
Delete certain personal information
Obtain a portable copy of certain information
Opt out of the sale of personal information
Opt out of targeted advertising
Opt out of certain profiling
Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
Appeal the denial of a privacy request

Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act where its legal thresholds apply. Residents of other states may have similar but not identical rights.

READTYCH will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.

19. Global Privacy Control and Browser Signals

Some browsers and browser extensions allow users to send a privacy preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a qualifying opt-out signal, READTYCH will treat that signal as a request to opt out of the relevant sale, sharing, or targeted advertising activity for the browser or device sending the signal.

Because browsers do not consistently communicate ordinary “Do Not Track” signals, the Website may not respond to every such signal unless applicable law requires otherwise.

20. Children’s Privacy

The public READTYCH Website is primarily intended for adults and institutional audiences. It is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization or, where required, verifiable parental consent.

If READTYCH learns that personal information has been collected through the public Website from a child under 13 in a manner not permitted by law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information through the public Website may contact READTYCH at info@readtych.com.

Future READTYCH services intended for student use may require separate privacy notices, parental consent processes, school authorization, age-appropriate disclosures, access controls, and data-minimization measures.

The privacy practices governing a student product or school deployment will be described through the applicable product notice, institutional agreement, or student privacy documentation.

21. Student and Education Data

The public Website should not be used to submit student education records or confidential student information.

If READTYCH processes student information on behalf of a school, district, government education department, or another educational institution, that activity should be governed by separate agreements and privacy notices.

Depending on the program, institution, and applicable law, these may include:

A Student Data Privacy Addendum
A Data Processing Agreement
District-specific privacy terms
A Children’s Privacy Notice
A product-specific privacy notice
School or parental authorization
Applicable FERPA and COPPA provisions

Where READTYCH processes education records under the FERPA school official exception, the information should be used only for the authorized institutional purpose and under the direction and control of the school or district.

READTYCH does not intend to sell or use students' personal information for targeted advertising.

22. International Visitors

READTYCH is based in the United States.

If you access the Website from another country, your personal information may be processed in or transferred to the United States and other locations where READTYCH or its service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live.

Where required, READTYCH will use an appropriate legal method for international transfers and provide the rights required under applicable data protection law.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other relevant jurisdictions may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, request portability, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

The Website may link to social media platforms, publisher websites, educational resources, partner websites, and other third-party services.

READTYCH does not control the privacy practices of those organizations.

If you follow an external link or interact with a third-party feature, that third party may collect personal information under its own privacy policy.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information.

24. Business Changes

If READTYCH is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be reviewed, disclosed, or transferred as part of that process.

Any successor organization will be expected to handle personal information in accordance with applicable law and any continuing privacy commitments.

Where required, READTYCH will provide notice before personal information becomes subject to materially different privacy practices.

25. Changes to This Privacy Policy

READTYCH may update this Privacy Policy as the Website, technology, legal requirements, or business operations change.

When we update the Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice or request consent where required by law.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
