Key Terms

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use several specialized terms. When we use the term “Personally Identifiable Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that is specific to you as an individual – for example, your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, academic test results and metrics (e.g., GPA, SAT score) and athletic statistics (e.g., batting average, yards per carry). The term “User Information” incorporates all of your Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this Privacy Policy. We use the term “aggregate” when we combine information from various persons or users. Information is said to be “anonymized” if it does not identify individual persons or entities, or associate a particular person or entity with such information.
