LIM Lessons (“LIM” or “we”) respects your privacy, and protecting your Personal Information is important to us. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), “Personal Information” refers to any information that, alone or in connection with other information, may be able to identify you. This Policy (“Policy”) covers the collection and use of information in connection with this website (“Site”). By using this Site, you agree to the terms, conditions, and practices described in this Policy and our Terms of Service.
I. Information We Collect
When you register on our Site, you provide us with Personal Information such as your name, email address, and your location.
When you create a profile and/or become a language tutor or learner, you provide us with certain Personal Information such as your first and last name, email address, date of birth, and the city where you live. You also provide us with other information which allows us to personalize your experience as a tutor or learner such as username and password, language preference (including type, tier, level, and focus for learners), gender, time zone, native language, interests, education, and current profession. You are also able to express your preference for receiving the LIM Newsletter, updates from our blog, and discounts on lessons. Additionally, you have the option to provide a profile picture.
We also collect any information you voluntarily provide to us while using our Site or in connection with our services. We may automatically receive information from your use of this Site including your IP address, browser information, and the date and time of your visit.
We use a live video platform operated by TokBox Inc. to provide you with ability to chat through live video. TokBox stores a recording of the video chat on their servers, and provides us access to that data. As of the date of this Privacy Policy, Tokbox’s terms of use states that, in connection with the operation of its video platform, “TokBox receives and stores certain personally non-identifiable information as well as aggregated user information and statistics, such as number of unique users, number of sessions and total minutes streamed. TokBox may store such information itself or such information may be stored by and shared with TokBox affiliates, agents, service providers and current and prospective business partners. TokBox uses the foregoing information to provide, improve, market and enhance its products and services and for other lawful business purposes.” If you want more information about TokBox’s collection, use or disclosure of information, you can contact TokBox through the contact information made available on the TokBox website at http://www.tokbox.com. If you engage in a video chat session on the Site or App, the session may be recorded as described above and in the User Agreement. We may use such recordings for our internal business purposes, including without limitation for purposes of dispute resolution and improving our service. The recording may be made available to you individually for review.
II. How We Use the Information
We use the information we collect in various ways such as responding to your lesson requests, connecting you with other users for lessons, providing you with relevant coursework, improving your experience with our Site and services, and communicating with you.
III. Information We Share with Others
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personal Information to third parties unless we provide you with prior notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, processing payments, or providing our services (“Other Parties”), with whom we may share your Personal Information for such purposes.
We may share or transfer your information, including your Personal Information, when we believe such action is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our Site policies, or to protect our rights, property, and/or safety, or that of you or our Other Parties.
Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. These parties will be unable to identify you based on this anonymous information.
IV. Third Party Links
On this Site, we may include links to third party websites which contain separate and independent privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of, or content contained within, these third party websites, and recommend that you read and review the privacy policy of any such sites that you visit.
V. Cookies
In order to improve this Site, LIM uses cookies. Cookies are small text files transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser.

You may opt-out of receiving cookies from the use of this Site by following the instructions in your web browser, although this may interfere with your ability to fully use and enjoy our Site.
VI. California Do Not Track Disclosures
Because LIM does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising, LIM does not respond to Do Not Track signals.
VII. Children’s Privacy
LIM is committed to protecting the privacy of children and all of its users. Although we do not specifically market to children under the age of 13, we understand that parents may want to use our Site on behalf of their children in order to enroll them in language lessons. Before collecting, using or disclosing Personal Information from or about children, we will obtain consent from the parent or legal guardian. When you request a lesson on behalf of your child, you will have the option to provide your affirmative consent to the collection of your child’s Personal Information through the LIM Site. If you provide your consent, we will send you a confirmation email with a link to activate your child’s language learner account. As the parent or legal guardian, you are in control of your child’s Personal Information. If at anytime you wish for your child’s Personal Information to be deleted from our database, please contact us using the contact information found in this section.
If we become aware that a child under the age of 13 has submitted his or her Personal Information on this Site, we will use that information only to respond directly to the child to inform him or her that parental consent is necessary to continue using our Site. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information about a child under the age of 13 in a manner inconsistent with the law, we will immediately delete such information from our database.
