Privacy Policy
Welcome to Dreamline (“Dreamline”, “we”, “our” or “us”). We are committed to protecting the privacy of those who entrust us with their personal information. We have designed this Privacy Policy to answer questions regarding our privacy principles and practices.
1. What is personal information?
When this Privacy Policy uses the term “personal information”, we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual’s full or partial name, postal address, email address, telephone numbers, image, photos, voice recording and location. Some jurisdictions may call personal identifiable information “personal data” or “personally identifying information,” and may include opinions about or related to a User within the definition of personal information.
2. What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy is applicable to all users, visitors and others who access (“Users”) our mobile services, website, and any software provided on or in connection with Dreamline services (collectively, the “Service”) and Dreamline web pages on third party sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn (“Third Party Sites”) and all Users of the Service who provide personal information. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, references to the “Service” shall include “Third Party Sites” as applicable.
This Privacy Policy addresses our policies and procedures relating to the personal information of individuals. This Privacy Policy is intended to assist you in understanding Dreamline’s policies and procedures relating to our management of personal information and is applicable to Dreamline, its successors and assigns, and any affiliates of Dreamline. This Privacy Policy is applicable to the personal information of all Users of the Service.
By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to post, submit, publish, display or transmit to other Users or other persons (hereinafter, “post”) content, including photos, videos, artwork, personal names, school/educational organization or affiliation names, school/educational organization or affiliation locations, age ranges and grades of students, job or role titles, comments and other materials (“User Content”), to the Service and to share such User Content publicly. Other Users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Content that you make publicly available through the Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service (which can be found at http://www.dreamline.org/termsofservice). By using our Service or otherwise interacting with us, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically, as it may be updated from time-to-time.
3. What information does Dreamline collect?
Dreamline collects personal information that is voluntarily provided by you when you use our Service, register for an Event (as defined in the Terms of Service), submit comments to the Service, or communicate with us by mail, telephone or electronically. The type of information we collect and maintain may include:
You May Disclose Personal Information by using or visiting the Service:
Dreamline provides (or may provide) several opportunities on our Service to disclose personal information, such as when you post User Content, submit comments on another User’s page or otherwise exchange information (including text, photos, links, etc.) with other Users. The User Content that you voluntarily post to the Service becomes available to the general public. For example, the User Content that you post to the Service will contain your name, images of artwork, the name of your school/educational organization or affiliation, the grade of your students, and the age range of your students, and all such User Content will be available for the general public to access on the Service. Please note that once you have posted or otherwise shared User Content on the Service, your User Content may be re-posted or re-shared by other Users.
In addition, our Service may offer message boards, conversation pages, profile pages, blogs, fundraising pages, public forums and other features in which you provide us with User Content or personal information. Your use of these features and your disclosure of personal information with respect to these features are completely voluntary.
Information we may collect automatically:
When you use or visit the Service, we may use cookies or similar technology to automatically collect certain information, including:
We may collect this information for routine system administration purposes, to make our Service more interesting and useful to you, to manage content delivery and for various other purposes related to our organization. We use this information to understand which areas of our Service are most appealing or least appealing, or to deliver content that is specific to your country or area of residence.
For example, when you use or visit our Service, we may collect your IP address. An IP address is associated with the access point through which you enter the Internet, and is typically controlled by your ISP, your company or your school/educational organization or affiliation. Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. We may use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which Users visit various parts of our Service, and we may combine IP addresses with personally identifiable information.
Dreamline may also collect information that is stored in cookies, and we may associate this information with your personal information. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website, online application, or email may save to your browser or your computer’s hard drive for use in subsequent visits to the website or online application. We use cookies for a number of reasons. Cookies allow you to store your password without having to constantly re-enter it. Cookies also help us to tailor messages that better match your needs and interests, and they allow us to better understand how Users use our Service in general, which in turn helps us to focus our resources on features that are most popular with our Users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Service may not work properly if you do. Dreamline does not control and does not guarantee the effectiveness of browser-based tools for managing cookies.
We may also collect other types of information such as gender, age, number of students participating in Dreamline, grades of students, names of schools/educational organizations and affiliations participating in Dreamline, number of schools/educational organizations and affiliations participating in Dreamline, and personal interests, which we may associate with personal information.
Dreamline may use Google Analytics and other analytics tools to evaluate use of the Service for our internal purposes. To learn how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit: “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

Any and all personal information collected on the Service will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, disclosed, or loaned to third parties, except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
4. Consent
We reserve the right to collect, use and disclose your personal information without consent where required or permitted by law.
Otherwise, personal information will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the form of consent required by applicable law and its use will be limited to the objectives for which it was collected as described herein. The form of your consent can vary from implied consent to express consent, depending upon the circumstances and the sensitivity of the type of information collected. We will rely on implied consent when we can reasonably conclude that you have given your consent by your action (e.g., by giving us your name and contact information so that we may establish your account profile) or inaction (e.g., by not exercising an ability to opt-out that is provided to you at the time your contact information is collected). This Privacy Policy identifies the purposes for which your personal information is collected, used and disclosed. Additional consent will be obtained from you should we wish to use or disclose your personal information for any additional purpose.
In some instances, User Content that is posted to the Service may contain the images, artwork, voice recordings or other materials of children, which may constitute personal information. As stated in our Terms of Service, the teachers, schools/educational organizations and affiliations that submit such User Content to the Service are responsible for obtaining any and all required consent, including when applicable consent from parents or legal guardians, prior to submitting such User Content.

If you have opted in to receive such information and offers, we may also use your personal information to ensure that your contact information is accurate and up to date.
6. How does Dreamline share personal information?
With our Affiliates and Partners: Dreamline may share your personal information with certain Dreamline affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, but only to the extent necessary to fulfill the purposes identified above. Personal information collected by Dreamline may be shared with our partners and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and subject to reasonable confidentiality terms. We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share anonymized data with our affiliates and partners.

In all cases, our service providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the services under reasonable confidentiality terms.
To Comply with Laws: We advise you that we may disclose personal information to the government or other legal or regulatory authorities (i) if so ordered by a court of law, or (ii) for other legal reasons, such as (a) to comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order; (b) to protect Dreamline’s rights and property; (c) to investigate reports of fraud or of Users sending material using a false email address or Users sending harassing, threatening, or abusive messages; (d) to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Service; or (e) in emergencies, such as when we believe someone's physical safety is at risk.

To a Third Party in the Event of a Significant Transaction or Other Event: In the case of any significant transaction or event involving Dreamline or any of its affiliated entities such as, by way of example, a sale, merger, amalgamation, financing, re-organization, liquidation, or insolvency, other parties to the transaction and their professional advisors may need to have access to Dreamline’s various databases as part of the due diligence process. In this event, Dreamline would only provide such access under terms of a strict confidentiality agreement. Upon completion of the transaction or event, your personal information would be transferred to Dreamline’s successor-in-interest.
7. How does Dreamline protect personal information?
Dreamline uses commercially reasonable safeguards on the Service to help protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your account, such as requesting that you use a unique password. However, Dreamline cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to Dreamline or through the Service. As with other services on the Internet, you can help keep your information safe. You are responsible for keeping your unique password secret. Please also keep your account information secret and control the access to emails between you and Dreamline, at all times. From time to time, we review our security procedures to protect our Users’ personal information in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods; however, despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
8. How Long Does Dreamline Retain Personal Information?
We may keep your personal information until we no longer retain it, or until you ask us to delete it, subject to any legal requirements, including statutory retention periods.
9. Where is my Personal Information Located?
Your personal information may be stored and processed in servers, including those of our authorized third parties. These servers shall always be subject to the safeguards described in this Privacy Policy to protect against unauthorized collection, use or disclosure, and you shall be able to access the personal information stored in such servers in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
10. Non-Personal Information
Non-personal or aggregated information is information that cannot be associated with or traced back to a specific person. When Users browse our Service, for example, we may gather information about the number of Users who are viewing each page so that we can learn what features generate the most interest. We also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to personalize and enhance your onsite experience by displaying content that we believe will be of interest to you and to deliver content that is specific to your interest. We may disclose anonymous, aggregated information about our Service to third parties.
11. Links to Third Party Sites
Users may, through hypertext or other computer “links,” gain access to other websites on the Internet which are not operated or monitored by Dreamline. Dreamline is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Dreamline of the website or content linked to. DREAMLINE ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MATERIAL OUTSIDE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY WEBSITE WHICH MAY BE ACCESSED THROUGH A LINK ON THE SERVICE. Unless otherwise indicated, Dreamline is not sponsored by or affiliated with the linked website, and trademarks used in connection with linked website are not trademarks of Dreamline. Dreamline specifically disclaims responsibility for any inadvertent viewing by a minor of any material intended for adults on a website accessed through use of a linked website.

Please note that certain information is required by Dreamline to provide the Service, and if you withdraw your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, then the Service may not be available to you.
We do not sell, rent, or share the personal information of our Users with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Dreamline may use personal information from our Users to contact them about our Service, including providing Users with information on additional information or services from Dreamline that may be of interest to them.

14. What is Dreamline’s policy on children’s privacy?
Dreamline and our Service are not directed toward children and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. As stated in Section 4 above, User Content that is posted to the Service may contain the images, artwork, voice recordings or other materials of children, including children under the age of 13, which may constitute personal information.

In addition, teachers, schools/educational organizations and affiliations are required to omit the last names or family names of children from any and all User Content posted to the Service. If Dreamline learns that personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 13 has been submitted to our Service without parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law). If you become aware of any personally identifiable information we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us as described below.

16. Transfer of personal information to the United States
This Privacy Policy sets forth how Dreamline handles personal data transferred to the U.S. from our Users located in countries around the world. Our computer systems and some of the computer systems of our third party service providers are currently based in the U.S., so your personal data will be processed by us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in your country or jurisdiction, such as the European Union.
