Personal Info & Its Use
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address), unique identifiers (like their learner's permit or drivers license number), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or sex). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. This includes requests for clarification caused by problems with your student information required for certificate processing. Unique identifiers (such as learner's permit or drivers license numbers) are collected to verify the user's identity and for use for certificate processing with your Department of Motor Vehicles. We do not sell or share this information with any third party, other than your Department of Motor Vehicles for proper paperwork processing and handling. In some instances, this information will also be given to various course providers we contract with to provide course delivery and certificate fulfillment.
Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis only. In other words, we do not supply any specific identifying information to any of our advertisers or partners.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies as a mechanism as a means for our server to store its own information about a user on the user's own computer. Our website does this to remember where users log-off of their individual courses. To be able to "re-enter" your course, we save your user information, thus, we must use cookies to store this information. Since our course environment (logging in and out when you please) depends on cookies, it is necessary for you to enable them to utilize our program. Our website's cookie mechanism is solely tied to the personal information that you have provided during the registration process.
This site contains links to other sites. Drivers Ed Direct, LLC. is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.
Our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information (like their email address) and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and information about our company to our customers. The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders and certificates, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology for managing the security of message transmissions through our website.
Email Communications
We send all new students a welcoming email to verify password and username; and providing any necessary course instructions. In addition, we send a confirmation email when your course tuition payment has been received. Furthermore, an email is sent to confirm your successful completion of our course and when your certificate has been processed. In addition, Drivers Ed Direct may send a feedback survey so that students can provide us with information on their course experience after course completion.
