INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Beeline Pickups, LLC, a platform to assist you in carpool management and the school dismissal process. “Beeline” refers

to Beeline Pickups, LLC, and its Affiliates, which shall mean subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership. We may also refer to Beeline as “We” or “Us”. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy

Policy have the meaning given them in our Terms of Use.

​

We provide this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal

information we receive from users of any of our application(s), and/or various websites (the sites, and applications collectively, the

“Services”). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Services.

​

By accessing any of our Services, you agree to the terms of the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. By agreeing, you authorize

us to collect and use your information as outlined below. In the event you do not agree with any modifications made to this Privacy

Policy, your only recourse is to cease use of our Services and, where applicable, delete the application(s). Please see the section

entitled “Managing Your Personal Information” to request the deletion of your profile.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at contact@beelinepickups.com.

​

FERPA & COPPA​

Beeline complies with FERPA and works with schools to provide the information they need upon request. We firmly support the fact

that school districts should and do own and control their students’ “Personal Student Information”. We take great efforts to collaborate

with customers to provide them the ability to access, modify, and delete this data consistent with FERPA, COPPA, and all other

applicable laws.

​

OUR POLICIES CONCERNING CHILDREN​

The Services are not intentionally directed to children under the age of 13 years and and we rely on the School to provide notice and

obtain parental consent and any other required authorizations for all student information we collect. Please contact us at

contact@beelinepickups.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information of a child under 13 without proper

consent so that we may take reasonable measures to promptly delete the collected personal information in accordance with FERPA

and COPPA regulations.  We will never target advertisements to students or sell students’ personally identifiable information to third

parties for any purpose.

​

INFORMATION WE COLLECT WHEN YOU USE THE SERVICE

Personal Information

We define “Personal Information” as information that identifies you or can be used to contact you. Like most websites and online

services, certain information is automatically collected when you use our Services, visit our Site, read our emails, or otherwise

communicate with us. For example, information about your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, Internet

service provider, platform type, device type, operating system, date and time stamp, a unique ID that allows us to identify your

browser, mobile device or your account, and other similar information. Personal Information can include things like, but not

exclusively, your name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, etc. Since the use of Personal Information is necessary

to improving the quality of our Services, we collect that information in a variety of ways:

1. Information Provided by Schools.  When Schools register for our Services, they provide certain information about the School, Parents, and students, such as Parent’s name, email address and phone number, student ID, classroom and other information maintained in the School’s information systems such as bus route number, teacher name, and information about student absences. We also receive information from Schools and Parents when they send us a message, for example by email or by submitting a help request through the Site. The School may also provide us information about Educational Professionals such as name, email address and cell phone number to take advantage of some of our Services.

2. Information from Third Parties: We may use service providers to provide you with a superior experience and they may share information they collect about you with us. Personal Information you provide to those third parties will fall under their respective privacy policies. If such a third party provides us with your Personal Information, we will handle it in accordance with this privacy policy (but be aware that the information retained by any third party is governed by their privacy policy, not ours).

3. Information from You: When you register for our Services you provide certain information such as School name, student’s name, point of contact name, physical address, email address and phone number. In addition, to use the Services you are required to provide your student’s name and various pick-up details. Your location may also be collected. If you should discover incorrect information while using our Services, please contact us at contact@beelinepickups.com and we will assist in correcting the information.

4. Viral Components: If you refer another user to us, we may collect and retain information you provide to us such as the name and e-mail address of the referred individual.

5. Details of transactions you carry out through the Service.

6. Details of interaction within the Service, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, web logs and other communication data.

7. We and your School may also place advertisements on the Site. We collect information related to these advertisements such as who clicks on them, the School they are affiliated with and the time and date the advertisement was clicked.

 

Student Data

Through the course of providing Services, we may have access to personally identifiable information about students (“Student Data”) that is provided by you. We have access to Student Data only as requested by the School and Parents and only for the purposes of performing Services on the School’s behalf. The type of Student Data we collect will depend on how the School uses the Services.

We receive Student Data only from the School and Parents. We never interact with the student directly. Student Data is confidential. We do not use Student Data for any purpose other than to provide the Services on the School’s behalf, in accordance with contractual agreements with the School. Our collection, use, and disclosure of Student Data is governed by our Terms of Use, our agreement(s) with the School, the provision of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and all applicable laws which relate to the collection of Student Data. Please contact your School if you have questions about the information they provide us and their use of technology service providers like Beeline Pickups.

 

Non-Personal Information

In addition to Personal Information, we collect a variety of data that could not be used to identify or contact you. Data are used to enhance the quality of our Services and other services. Here are some of the forms of non-personal information we collect:

1. Interaction Information: We collect and retain information relating to your interaction with our Services. For example, we may monitor the length of time you use the application(s), the number and type of activities you participate in during a particular session, etc.

2. General Use Information: We also collect general information about your interaction with our Services such as your browser type, referring and exit URLs (if applicable), click, domain names, pages viewed, the amount of time spent viewing a particular Site page, the time of such activities, etc.

3. Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your viewing preferences).

4. Additionally, aggregated information about Service usage can be collected and used for the purposes of improving the Service, research and analysis. This Privacy Policy solely applies to Beeline Pickups.
