  • RokStudent! does not contact children under age 13 about special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission.
  • RokStudent! does not ask a child under age 13 for more personal information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate in a given activity or promotion.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

  • RokStudent! does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
    • We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with RokStudent! under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help RokStudent! communicate with you about offers from RokStudent! and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
    • We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing RokStudent! to collect and use their child's information without consenting to RokStudent! sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes.
    • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
    • We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of RokStudent!'s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
    • We transfer information about you if RokStudent! is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, RokStudent! will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • RokStudent! displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
    • RokStudent! does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

Newsletter, that are considered part of your RokStudent! account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.

Confidentiality and Security

  • We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
  • We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to protect personal information about you.
