Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Generation Genius takes student privacy and security very seriously. As described in more detail below, the company has stringent policies and procedures in place to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and to prevent data breaches, including the use of industry-standard encryption and other technical security measures. The subscription services offered by Generation Genius DO NOT require student users to provide ANY PII. Our service is designed to be subscribed to by adults so students should not enter any PII when using the site. If student PII is discovered in our system we will delete it within 24 hours of discovering it.

This privacy policy applies to users of the generationgenius.com website (the “GG Website”) and to users of the password-protected online subscription services located at GG Website (the “Subscription Services” and together with the GG Website, the “Services”) controlled by Generation Genius, Inc.

BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND TO OUR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES STATED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES. IF YOUR USE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES IS SUBJECT TO AN AGREEMENT WITH TERMS THAT CONFLICT WITH THOSE IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, THE TERMS IN YOUR APPLICABLE AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY SOLELY TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH CONFLICT.

O. Contacting Generation Genius

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at support [at] generationgenius.com. Unless you are a user of the Subscription Services that is subject to an agreement with Generation Genius that expressly addresses Dispute Resolution, Choice of Law, and/or Choice of Forum, the following Sections P, Q, and/or R apply to you, as applicable.

P. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute (“dispute”) related to or arising out of your use of the Services, other than disputes related to or involving Generation Genius’s intellectual property or Generation Genius’s licensed intellectual or proprietary rights, you and Generation Genius mutually agree to the following dispute resolution procedure:

1. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by informal negotiation. The informal negotiation period will begin when the party asserting the dispute sends a written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the dispute. If, after sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent, the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute, either party may commence binding arbitration. The parties may agree to extend the informal dispute resolution period by mutual written agreement.
2. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation, you and Generation Genius agree that exclusive jurisdiction for the dispute shall be binding arbitration before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of an Arbitrator, they shall each select one Arbitrator from the list of qualified JAMS arbitrators and those two Arbitrators shall select the person who shall serve as the Arbitrator for such dispute. Arbitration shall be initiated in the Los Angeles, CA area and shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on any potential award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. BY USING THE SITES, YOU ARE HEREBY GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
3. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither party shall have the right to have a dispute heard as a class action, and no arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the proceeding.

Q. Choice of Law

This privacy policy has been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

The parties acknowledge that this Policy evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Policy shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).

R. Choice of Forum

By using the Generation Genius website and services, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be the state and federal courts located in California.

YOUR CALIFORNIA DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURES AND PRIVACY RIGHTS
