Privacy Policy

Website Operator. This Online Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for Computertots, Inc.’s website ("site"). Computertots, Inc., referred to as “us” or “we” below, is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Center for Entrepreneurial Development, Inc. Computertots, Inc. is the franchisor for the COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchise system in the United States.

General Terms. You acknowledge that this Online Privacy Policy is part of our site’s “Terms of Use” (which can be viewed by clicking on the hyperlink at the bottom of every page), and by accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this site.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by any means including, but not limited to posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this site and this Privacy Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications. Your continued use of the site after such modifications will constitute your agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.

Information Collected. In order to better provide you with access to our services and the services of our franchisees, we may collect from you Personal Identifying Information and Non-Personal Identifying Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth and efficient experience while using this site.

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Identifying Information” means information that lets us know who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this site, such as: 1) registering for our monthly newsletter, 2) requesting information about franchising opportunities, or 3) sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information about you, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), E-mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information.

You may be given the option of enrolling for classes online.  If you are given this option through this site, we may ask that you provide us with information about the person being enrolled for classes, such as the student’s name, age and city where he or she will take classes. This information will be accessible by Computertots, Inc. and a franchisee in your area. Availability of online enrollment is dependent upon the services provided by individual franchisees and may not be available in your area. You may also register for classes by printing a registration form available on this site and submitting the form directly to the franchisee chosen by you or by contacting the franchisee in your area.

In some cases you will have the option to pay the tuition for the classes online. If you are given the option for online payment, it will be handled by third party service providers selected by the franchisee you are enrolling with and may require you to provide additional Personal Identifying Information, such as a credit card number.  We have no control over those third party sites. The third party sites have their own Privacy Policy which we encourage you to review.

As used in this Privacy Policy, “Non-Personal Identifying Information” refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our site. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.

Collection and Use of Information. We do not collect any Personal Identifying Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us when you request any of the information or services identified above. We may also collect information from you at other points on our site that state that such information is being collected.

In addition, we may also collect, or a third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personal Identifying Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We may use Non-Personal Identifying Information to address technical problems with our hardware and/or software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information. We may also be provided with summary reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our site.

If you have registered for our newsletter or submitted your E-mail address to us for any other reason, we may, from time to time, send you E-mail regarding services offered by our franchisees. If you register for our newsletter, you may be contacted by the third-party company that maintains our database of newsletter subscribers regarding services or special offers they may provide.

If you register for classes offered by one of our franchisees, the franchisee that will be offering the classes will have access to all the Personal Identifying Information you provide.

We will primarily use your Personal Identifying Information to provide services and information you request. We may also use Personal Identifying Information to enhance the operation of our site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, improve product and service offerings by our franchisees, and customize our site’s content, layout, and services. We may use Personal Identifying Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use Personal Identifying Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce your agreements with Computertots, Inc., including those agreements in our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.

Updating Personal Identifying Information. Although Computertots, Inc. retains a limited amount of Personal Identifying Information, any Personal Identifying Information Computertots, Inc. does retain may be changed by writing us at:

Computertots, Inc.
12715  Telge Road,
Cypress, Texas 77429

Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us. To change any information about you or your child retained by a franchisee you have contacted for class enrollment, you will need to contact the franchisee directly.

Sharing Your Information. We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Identifying Information to others. We do provide some of our services, such as our monthly newsletter, through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, and other third parties (“service providers”). These service providers may contact you regarding other services or products they provide, which are not in any way related to Computertots, Inc. We will encourage our service providers and franchisees to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personal Identifying Information by our service providers and franchisees is governed by the privacy policies of those service providers and franchisees, and is not subject to our control.

Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personal Identifying Information. We reserve the right to disclose Personal Identifying Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may also provide Non-Personal Identifying Information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personal Identifying Information.

To the extent necessary to provide you with our information and/or services, we may also share your Personal Identifying Information and Non- Personal Identifying Information with our parent company, International Center for Entrepreneurial Development, Inc.

Security Precautions. At our site, any Personal Identifying Information collected is secure, consistent with current industry standards. Access to your Personal Identifying Information is available to only Computertots, Inc., and in the event you register for classes offered by one of our franchisees, the Personal Identifying Information provided will also be available to and accessible by the franchisee who will be offering the class. If you register for our monthly newsletter or request other information from Computertots, Inc., your Personal Identifying Information may be accessible to and used by third-party companies that assist Computertots, Inc. in providing the information and/or services you have requested.

In order for our franchisees to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions are handled by established third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we work to protect your Personal Identifying Information, you acknowledge that: (1) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (2) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (3) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

Cookies. When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our site. Our cookies store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back to our site. The cookies make your use of the site easier, make the site run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly in that case.

We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our site. As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personal Identifying Information, unless you authorize us to do so. We and/or our third party ad server may collect and use Non-Personal Identifying Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personal Identifying Information to them.

Franchisee Web Pages. COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchises are individually owned and operated. One of the purposes of this site is to place you in contact with a COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchisee in your area.  Our franchisees maintain individual web pages on this site that are customized to reflect the specific services and information offered by each franchisee. Any Personal Identifying Information you provide on the individual web page may be viewed by the franchisee identified on the web page. Some franchisee web pages contain hyper-links to other web sites. We are not responsible for those other websites and have no control over any information you may submit to or on those websites.

Privacy Policies and Data Collection at any Third Party Sites Accessible from our Site. Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other sites accessible through our site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. Additionally, other companies which place advertising on our site may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.

Privacy Policy Regarding Children. While our website is not directed to children, it may refer or link to a commercial website or online service directed to children by using information location tools, including a directory, index, reference, pointer, or hypertext link.  Personally Identifiable Information is not requested or required to link to a website from our website. Other than collecting Personal Identifying Information regarding a child from the child’s parent or legal guardian for class enrollment, we do not collect or maintain Personal Identifying Information regarding children and do not collect Personal Identifying Information directly from anyone under the age of 13. Online enrollment for classes must be done by someone who is 18 years of age or older. We urge parents to regularly and closely monitor their children’s on-line activities.

Miscellaneous. Except as stated above, our policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personal Identifying Information about visitors that are under 18 years of age.

You should be aware that when Personal Identifying Information is voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, e-mail address, etc.) in discussion forums, such as blogs, or other public areas that may be on or available from this site, that information, along with any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such activities are beyond our control and this Privacy Policy does not apply to such information.
