Privacy Policy

NexGen News® Privacy Policy 

NexGen News does not sell, lease, or rent your (nor student) data to any third-party.


1. NexGen News’s Commitment to Privacy


We take your privacy and the privacy of your students very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we use and process information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual (“Personal Data”) collected through the use of the NexGen News website and platform. Please read this Privacy Policy and contact us if you have any questions.


Our commitment is guided by a few major principles:

• Schools and districts can use NexGen News without sharing any Personal Data from students. Or they can choose to set up student accounts and use NexGen News to track their students’ progress.
• The school or district’s account manager can delete or correct Personal Data from students at any time.

NexGen News is Committed to Maintaining a Safe and Compliant Platform

• We will only share Personal Data of students in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• We use industry standard security practices, such as TLS encryption.

This Privacy Policy explains the details of how we safeguard and use the information you give us. By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy.


2. Children’s Use of NexGen News


Only parents/guardians, schools, or districts that have obtained licenses and provided consent on behalf of students can create student accounts. For all other types of subscriptions and trials, NexGen News does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16.


If you are a child under the age of 16, you must get permission from your school, parent, or legal guardian to use this website. If you wish to sign up for a free trial or subscribe to NexGen News, your school, parent, or legal guardian must register for a trial or paid subscription to grant you access to the website.
If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from anyone younger than 16 without the appropriate consent, we will take the necessary steps to delete it.



3. What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?


a. Website Visitors.
If you are an individual who visits our front-end website (for example nexgennews.com) only (a “Visitor”) and do not log into the site, we may collect certain information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating the NexGen News services and business. Information collected automatically from Visitors may include the following:

• IP address associated with your computer;
• “clickstream data,” which includes information about your clicks on our website and which may also include information about your computer;
• web browser and operating system and information about the website you visited before coming to our site;
• mobile application information;
• identifiers such as an anonymized session identifier; and
• website traffic volume, frequency of visits, and type and time of transactions.

By collecting your IP address, which is necessary for the operation of this Site, we may indirectly collect information about your geographic location (which may be sufficient to identify the name of your city or town, and, in some cases, your street name)


b. Logged-In Users. 
We will ask you to create a NexGen News account to access certain portions of our site. When you create an account, we will ask for your consent to collect certain types of Personal Data. However, if you do not grant the requested consent to the processing of your Personal Data, the use of the NexGen News website may not be possible. The Personal Data that we collect from logged-in users includes information that you voluntarily provide to us when you sign up for an account and information that is automatically collected when you are logged into the NexGen News platform. The information collected depends on whether you are a teacher, school, parent or student. The provisions below describe what information we collect for each type of user.


(i) From teachers and administrators
1. Information you voluntarily provide.  

• If you are a teacher or administrator signing up for an account on our website, we collect your first and last name, email address, role at your school, grade interests and subject interests. We’ll ask you to enter the state of your organization to select your school, and we remember the school you select so that we can properly give you access if your school has already purchased NexGen News. Additionally, we ask you to set a password to keep your account secure. In districts that have enabled login through a third party account (such as a Google LLC or Clever Inc. account), you will connect using that account, we will use your email address registered with that third party as your username and you will not need to set a separate password.
• Your email address will be your username. We’ll use your email address, as well as your school, role, grade and subject interests, to customize the updates you get about NexGen News via email. You can always opt out of emails that you have already opted in to receive from us by clicking “unsubscribe.” If you request a school trial or a consultation with our sales team, we will also ask for your phone number and job title so that a member of the NexGen News team can get in touch with you to set up your trial or help you with a purchase.
• If you are purchasing a paid account, we will collect all the information necessary to process the order, including credit card information, billing information or shipping information (as applicable).
• Teachers and administrators with schoolwide or district accounts can invite other staff members at the school or district to create a NexGen News account. To do this, they can enter the email addresses of the people they wish to invite or use other import mechanisms supported by NexGen News. We only use these email addresses to send invitations, and will not send any other emails to these addresses.

2. Information we automatically collect.  If you are a teacher or administrator logged into NexGen News, we will automatically collect the same information that we collect from Visitors.


(ii) From parents
1. Information you voluntarily provide.  

• If you are a parent, you may access the website by purchasing an individual subscription. If you activate a school subscription, we will collect the same information from you as if you were a teacher or administrator.  If you are a parent signing up for an account through our mobile app or an individual subscription, we collect the information you voluntarily provide to create an account.  Only parents who have activated school subscriptions may invite others to create a NexGen News account.
• If you are a parent logged into NexGen News, we will automatically collect the same information that we collect from teachers or administrators.

2. Information we automatically collect.  
(iii) From students
1. Students can’t create accounts on their own.  

• Unless a school or district has obtained a license, provided consent on behalf of students and chosen to allow for student account creation, we collect no personally identifiable information or Personal Data from students (other than parent or teacher selected usernames for certain legacy accounts). In cases where a school or district purchases NexGen News, the first step is for teachers or administrators to create classes. Students can only sign up for NexGen News after their school or district imports student roster information into NexGen News or their teacher enters class information and instructs students to create an account with a provided code. Students cannot sign up and create a NexGen News account unaffiliated with a class or a schoolwide or district license.
• NexGen News is not offered directly to students on any basis, and school districts, teachers or parents must first sign up for primary accounts and then invite students to use NexGen News through student accounts. When students create a student account on NexGen News, they’ll enter a code which will associate them with their school and teacher. These codes may only be generated by teachers or administrators and no student may create an account without a valid class code. To the extent not already imported by teachers or administrators (either manually or using a third-party tool such as Google), we’ll then collect the student’s first and last name, and the student will set a username and password. In districts that have enabled login through a third party account (such as a Google or Clever account), the student will connect using that account, we will use the student’s email address registered with that third party as the username and the student will not have a separate password. We collect the first and last name so that teachers can identify students on their class roster in the My Classes section of NexGen News.com and administrators can identify students in the school management section. We collect the username so students can easily log in, as well as have unique identification for the website. Because the first and last name are for teachers’ class management, they can instruct students to enter an initial or nickname instead of a first or last name, or another form of identification, if they’d prefer. The student’s username and first and last name will not be shared with any NexGen News users or third parties other than their teacher(s) and the account manager(s) at their school or district.
• Only parents who activate a school subscription may invite students to use NexGen News through the student account sign up process mentioned above. If a parent signs up for NexGen News through the mobile app or an individual account, no additional sign up process is necessary. We may, however, ask for the grade level of a parent’s child and other general information to customize the user experience on the mobile app or individual account. If you are a parent who has created an account through our mobile app, you may also limit your child’s usage of the app by toggling “on” the Parental Controls. Toggling on the Parental Controls in the mobile app will hide all content dealing with mature subjects (including, but not limited to: violence, sex and tragedy) and restrict visible content to lessons deemed inappropriate for K-5 students.
• When students have accounts, teachers will be able to assign multiple choice quizzes and other assignments to students in their classes. Students’ quiz results and completed assignments or other student-created work will be stored so that the student who took the quiz or completed the assignment and the teacher can review the results. NexGen News will retain all student generated content in accordance with the security measures described in this Privacy Policy and may only be shared within the classroom to the extent authorized by a Teacher. Students may use the NexGen News applications mentioned above with or without an assignment from their teacher. When the student is assigned the activity and submits their work, their teacher can see and review it. Otherwise the student who created the work is the only one who can view it. Certain legacy NexGen News accounts may also include shared student usernames. These usernames are linked to information we collect about students’ usage of the NexGen News site, such as units visited and videos viewed.
• We do not ask or require students to provide Personal Data beyond that which is reasonably necessary to use NexGen News. We do not share any student login information with any third party and information collected from students is never used or disclosed for any third-party advertising or any kind of behaviorally targeted advertising.
• If a student is logged into NexGen News, we will automatically collect the same information that we collect from Visitors.
• NexGen News will promptly correct or delete student information at the request of a parent or an authorized representative of the student’s school or district. You can send a deletion request to [email protected]

c. How we automatically collect information.
We use the following tools to collect and track the automatically collected information described above, including:
(i)  Cookies and Similar Technologies.

• To provide you with a continuous experience on our site, we may automatically collect your information using cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a data file sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive that allows us to recognize your browser when you return to our website, to remember your preferences and to provide you with content that may be of interest to you based on your progress within our site. To the extent any automatically collected information from cookies and similar technologies is combined with Personal Data, it will be treated as Personal Data and protected accordingly under the terms of this Privacy Policy.
• To learn more about browser cookies, including how to manage or delete them, look in the Tools, Help or similar section of your browser, or Click Here. 
• Additionally, our video player may store local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, on your computer. Local shared objects cannot be managed in the same way as browser cookies. Visit this link for information on managing Flash cookies.
• We may use the technologies described above in connection with the advertising of our services to parents, teachers and administrators on other websites and tracking the results from such advertising. We don’t allow these third parties to advertise directly on our website.  
• We use third-party analytics service providers to assist us in collecting and understanding website usage information. We use information from these services to help us improve our website and the services we provide to our users.
• We place a tiny image, also known as a pixel tag, in the emails we send, and this tells us when you have opened the email. Our team uses this information to improve emails we send to you, and best tailor them to your needs.

(ii)  Analytics. (iii)  Email.
By using our website, you agree to our use of these tracking technologies.


We do not track our users across third party websites. As a result, we do not currently honor “do not track” signals transmitted by users’ web browsers. To learn more, Click Here. 


d. Anonymized Data. 
We frequently aggregate Personal Data in a way that makes it impracticable to use that data to identify a particular person; we also sometimes maintain individual data records with personal identifiers removed, and maintain it in a manner in which it is impracticable to relink it to any particular individual. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to such data as “Anonymized Data” and do not consider it to be Personal Data.


4. How We Use Your Information
We use Personal Data and any other information collected through the website for the following reasons:

• administer the site;
• improve the quality and types of services that we deliver;
• communicate with parents, teachers and school districts by responding to your requests, comments and questions;
• diagnose technical problems;
• send users emails regarding service, technical and other administrative matters. These communications may also include information regarding changes in services, new service offerings and important service-related notices, such as security and fraud notices. Such communications will only be delivered to parents, teachers and school districts and will never be delivered to the site’s student users.
• send users alerts to notify them about upcoming assignments and NexGen News services related to their activity on the site “Notification Alerts”. These Notification Alerts may be sent to all users of the site, excluding students.
• billing, account management and other administrative matters; and
• as required by applicable law or regulation.

We use this information to help us diagnose technical problems, administer the site and improve the quality and types of services that we deliver. We may also collect, track and analyze information in aggregate form that does not personally identify users.


5. How We Share Your Information
We will not sell or rent any of your or your students’ information to any third-party for any purpose, and we do not track users outside of our website. There is no third-party advertising on NexGen News.com.


We will not share your information in any way not outlined in this Privacy Policy. Except as noted below, we do not share any Personal Data with third parties for advertising, marketing or other purposes.


We share information that we collect in the following circumstances:

• as instructed by a school administrator, school or district in relation to information about their users, for example to let administrators know which teachers are using NexGen News;
• with teachers who are the managers of a class so they can see information about the students in that class;
• with our service providers (including hosting, customer communication and analytics providers) so they have access to the data they need to help us to operate the website effectively and communicate with you — they must comply with confidentiality and data security provisions consistent with this Privacy Policy as necessary to protect our rights or property or that of others, protect the safety of our users, investigate fraud or respond to a government, judicial or other legal request, or to comply with the law. These service providers do not have the right to use Personal Data we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
• with third party products specifically configured by schools or districts to interoperate with NexGen News;
• when any user logs into NexGen News with a third-party account (such as a Google or Clever account), that third party will learn that that user has visited NexGen News, and that information will be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and practices;
• if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to disclose the information under any applicable law or regulation, such as complying with a subpoena or legal process;
• if the information is Anonymized Data;
• with our corporate affiliates and/or parents; and
• other circumstances that you expressly consent to.

If there are changes to the Policy, you will have the opportunity to consent to them prior to additional information being collected or to cease using the NexGen News site and content. 


If a portion or all of NexGen News’s assets are acquired by or merged with a third party, your information may be one of the assets acquired by the third party. You’ll still be protected under this Privacy Policy, and your information will only be available to the third-party per the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will let you know if there is an acquisition by posting on our home page or emailing you or our contact at your school or district. If, at this point, you do not want your Personal Data shared with a new company, you can request its deletion. If NexGen News goes out of business or files for bankruptcy, we will not sell your Personal Data to any third parties who do not agree to continue to meet the protections spelled out in this privacy policy.


We may also obtain information, including Personal Data, from certain third parties (such as Clever). Any Personal Data received from these third parties will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We sometimes combine information we receive from third parties with the Personal Data we collect through the site. Any such combined information will be treated as Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


Please also note that our service providers may be able to combine the data we share with them with the data they collect on their own. For example, if we share information with Clever, Clever may combine such information with the data they have already collected about you through their website. We are not responsible for such combinations of data and we encourage you to learn about their privacy and security policies before you use this site or provide our service providers with your personal information.


6. Links to Third-Party Sites
We occasionally link to other websites from our website to provide relevant content to our users. For example, we will sometimes link to other educational websites to supplement a lesson plan. We are not responsible for the practices of these third-party websites or services that we link to, and they are not covered under this Privacy Policy. These websites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.


7. How NexGen News Protects and Secures Your Information
Each account created on the NexGen News website is protected with a password. Make sure that you and any students associated with your account keep these passwords a secret at all times to prevent unauthorized access to your account. You are responsible for any activity that occurs while you or any students associated with your account are logged in to NexGen News, whether or not that access is authorized by you. If you think that someone has gained unauthorized access to your account, please contact us immediately.


We have industry-standard security policies and procedures in place, and take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of Personal Data collected on our website. This includes the use of encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, firewalls and other security technologies to prevent access to the data from unauthorized parties. All connections between users and NexGen News are secured via encryption communication technology (TLS). All NexGen News passwords are salted and hashed using the practices recommended by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). NexGen News utilizes industry-standard application hosting providers who agree to perform frequent diagnostics, operating system updates, and network security monitoring. Our engineering team is committed to creating and maintaining systems to protect your Personal Data.


Our policy is that only employees who need to access user information in order to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to that information. Our partners, including our outside shipping company and our credit card processing company may only use the information to provide specific services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

While we have taken all steps to protect your information, and continuously work to keep our systems at or above industry standard security, no system is 100% fail proof and secure. If we believe that the security of your Personal Data may have been compromised, we will seek to notify you as soon as possible by email.
