Edu SWARM is committed to protecting the privacy of its members and customers. EDUS recognizes the interest of its members and customers in the confidentiality of their personal information. EDUS only maintains personal information that is relevant to EDUS activities and seeks to maintain accurate, complete, and timely information.
The security of personal information is important to EDUS. EDUS maintains all personal data with technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, and improper disclosure. No computer system or information can ever be fully protected against every possible hazard. EDUSprovides reasonable and appropriate security controls to protect personal information against foreseeable hazards.
EDUS maintains member databases that contain mailing, billing, and member profile information, as well as a record of each member’s product and service purchases. EDUS also maintains databases of member and non-member purchases and of registrations for conferences and other EDUS activities. The information in these databases is used by authorized EDUS staff members to process orders, mail invoices, purchases, renewal notices, and announcements, respond to member inquiries; and help us improve our offerings. Member records are maintained as long as an individual is a EDUS member and for two years following a membership lapse. Purchases and credit card transactions are retained for as long as appropriate to meet contractual, tax, or auditing needs.

By selling our Memberships, Affiliates can earn a substantial income through our Independent Affiliate Rewards Program.
All personally identifiable information contained in EDUS membership, purchase, and registration databases are treated as confidential and will be used only for the purposes stated in this policy, except where required by law.
Just like any other record keeper, EDUS may be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process. This includes a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect EDUS’s legal rights or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. These disclosures are possible although unlikely.
Personal data about EDUS members and customers may, from time to time, be collected or shared with outside contractors, auditors, consultants, and others hired by EDUS to assist in carrying out financial or operational activities. EDUS informs recipients about safeguarding personal information, and requires them to use it only for an authorized purpose consistent with this privacy policy, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.
EDUS does not sell, rent, or exchange email addresses of its members and customers. EDUS uses email addresses to send the following:
“Must Have” messages that help to service EDUS members including answers to member questions; acknowledgments of the receipt of membership applications, renewal notices, and other orders. Occasional “Member Update” announcements about EDUS services that we believe to be of some importance to members. These announcements are short, straightforward messages that contain pointers to online resources where members can explore the information more fully.
Email messaging that is part of a program for which the member has registered.
All EDUS created and supported email distribution lists have “unsubscribe” instructions.
Other than in the restricted-access portions of EDUS’s site that requires a EDUS Web Account, EDUS does not log the identity of visitors. However, we may keep access logs, for example containing a visitor’s IP address and search queries. We may analyze log files periodically to help maintain and improve our Web site and enforce our online service polices.
Cookies: We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys. Raw log files are treated as confidential and may be retained for no longer than two years.
On some pages of our site we allow individuals to submit information for the purposes of joining EDUS; renewing or updating their membership; ordering products and services; or registering for a conference, contest, or other activity. Information collected on these pages will be used according to EDUS’s Privacy Policy.
Some portions of the EDUS Web site, specifically the EDUS Digital Library, require a EDUS Web Account for both members and visitors. To create an account, EDUS members and customers must provide their name, EDUS member number (if applicable), and email address. They are assigned a “username” (which they may change) and asked to create a password and provide active email address (for account verification purposes).
Members must setup a EDUS Web account in order to access courses and content in the EDUS e-Learning Digital Library. Non-members are asked for their name and email address when they create their account. By default, EDUS may send information about EDUS products and services to non-member EDUS Web account holders via email. Customers may request that they not receive such information via email.
Information collected about EDUS Web account usage — including logs of Web pages visited, searches performed, and Digital Library content visited — will be stored in an anonymized form and used to improve the EDUS Digital Library and other EDUS Web offerings. Other information provided in the process of creating or using a Web account is used according to the EDUS Privacy Policy.

However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over other websites. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.
