WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
DONOVAN COLQUITT
FOUNDER, THE SCHOLAR'S KEY AND ENGINEER
The STEM.org online certification course was engaging, intriguing, and gave me a
better grasp of STEM concepts and education. There was never a dull moment. I
discovered exciting new ways to get K-12 students interested in STEM, and
learned how to develop an education plan in accordance with Next Generation
Science Standards. The certification gave me many fresh ideas to use with my
classes.
KRISTIN (NAUGHTON) GRIFFITH
STEAM COORDINATOR, AUBURN HILLS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Our school has completely changed for the better since we’ve trained with
STEM.org. We teach children from preschool through grade 12, so it can be
difficult to find programs that cater to all of our needs. STEM.org took into
account the grade level taught by each educator and also gave us ways to work
towards a common goal. The support we have received since becoming accredited
has been invaluable.
CHRIS TIDWELL
CEO, MAGFORMERS®
Since we’ve partnered with STEM.org to evaluate our magnetic children’s toys,
our knowledge about STEM education has grown immensely. The team provides
affordable, practical insights drawing from their years of experience to
identify market trends which has helped us better identify a path forward. Since
earning the authentication trustmark, our customers have taken notice which has
led to increased marketshare.
JAVIER GARAY
AUTHOR, GIL HARP BOOKS
I connected with the team at STEM.org to have them review a children’s book that
I authored and they provided me with valuable feedback, including resources
regarding how to develop a learning kit around it. A STEM seal was issued for
me to use in marketing materials when promoting my work, which has helped draw
positive attention to it from discerning parents.

STEM recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information
provided by users of our web sites, subscribers to our services, registrants for
our events, and all other customers of our products and services. We created
this policy with a fundamental respect for our customers' right to privacy and
to guide our relationships with our customers. This Privacy Statement discloses
the privacy practices for all products and services owned by STEM.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
STEM collects information from our website users, subscribers and other
customers. In this section of our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of
information we collect and how we use it to provide better services to our
customers.
REGISTRATION AND ORDERING
Using our website and signing up for certain selected services (such as personal
business lists), users must first register. During registration, users are
required to give their contact information (such as name, e-mail address,
mailing address and phone number). For internal purposes, we use this
information to communicate with users and provide requested services, and, for
our website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience on our sites. We
also may collect demographic information. We use aggregate demographic
information about our audience to improve our service, for marketing purposes
and/or industry reporting purposes.
Many of our products and services are free to subscribers who meet certain
demographic criteria. Independent auditors may need to certify the eligibility
of these subscribers. In order to do that, we may collect unique identifiers
(such as mother's maiden name) that we disclose to the auditors strictly for
industry reporting and audit verification purposes.
For our services that require payment (Business Subscriptions), we also collect
credit card information (such as account name, number and expiration date),
which is used for our or our agent's billing purposes only, and is not otherwise
shared.
SURVEYS AND CONTESTS
From time to time we invite web site users and other customers to provide
information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the website user or other customer therefore has a
choice whether to disclose requested contact information (such as name and
mailing address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In
addition to the other uses set forth in this policy, contact information
collected in connection with surveys and contests is used to notify the winners
and award prizes and to monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction with the
website or other STEM product or service. Subject to the given customer's
preferences (as described in the "Permission" section below), such information
also may be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys or contests.
TELL-A-FRIEND
If customers elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about our
sites and services, we may ask them for the friend's name, interests and e-mail
address. STEM will store and use this information to send the friend an
invitation. This information may also be used to provide information about our
company and related products and services. The friend may contact us as
specified in the tell-a-friend message to request that no further communications
be sent.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH US
We have features where our customers can submit information to us (such as our
feedback forms). Where such submissions include requests for service, support or
information, we may forward them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to
the specific request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other information
sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve
customers better. Please note that letters to the editor and similar submissions
may be made public, unless they refer to current registered businesses, in which
case information is not disclosed.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM US: SERVICE UPDATES, SPECIAL OFFERS
STEM will never send email notifications to users unless they specifically
request so.
AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION
STEM has features that automatically collect information from customers, to
deliver content specific to customers' interests and to honor their preferences.
This information assists us in creating products and services that will serve
the needs of our customers.
For example, we use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring
login only once, thereby saving time while on our web site. If users reject the
cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site. For
example, the user may not be able to participate in sweepstakes, contests or
drawings.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation
history and IP address of all visitors to our web sites. This information does
not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use this information
for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system administration,
and to gather broad demographic information about our user base for aggregate
use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a customer at registration
with web site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate
non-personally identifiable form, about our customers and their preferences in
the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite information
with our advertisers and business affiliates to help them better understand our
services.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable
information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents in
providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only for that
purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. Also, our parent,
subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into which our company may be
merged, or entities to which any of our assets, products, sites or operations
may be transferred, will be able to use personal information. We will also
disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response
to a law enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when we have reason
to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Users
should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts,
might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with
others. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not
include personal information.
PERMISSION
Our customers are given the opportunity to choose whether to receive information
from our affiliates and us not directly related to the product or service for
which they registered (or which they otherwise agreed to receive). Customers
also have the opportunity to choose whether to have personal information shared
with third parties for marketing purposes.
Please note that we will endeavor to implement your permission requests within a
reasonable time, although for a time you may continue to receive mailings, etc.,
transmitted based on information released prior to the implementation of your
request. In addition, please note that even after such request is implemented,
your page will continue to update information directly related to the service
for which you registered (or which you otherwise agreed to receive), so you
always are kept updated.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal information and
to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online
(such as credit card number, only applies to Businesses) is encrypted and is
transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our customers'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted.
Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are
kept in a secure environment.
LINKS
STEM may contain links to other sites. STEM is not responsible for the privacy
practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web site to
which we may link that may collect personally identifiable information.
CHILDREN
STEM websites are not directed at individuals under thirteen years of age, and
STEM does not intend to collect any personally-identifiable information from

which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should check this policy
frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
