Last Updated: August 2, 2024
We periodically update our terms and policies to help ensure teachers and students understand their rights and responsibilities when they use Along, as well as to explain how we collect, use and protect personal information.
Material changes are described below. We encourage users to read the revised User Agreement (including the Data Privacy Addendum), Privacy Policy, and Community Guidelines. To ensure these documents are clear and easy to read, we also updated the plain-language summaries across our terms. In addition, we’ve included new documents: a summary of our security practices in our Security Whitepaper, as well as a list of our Third-Party Service Providers.
For users who received notice of changes on October 13, 2020, these changes do not go into effect until November 12, 2020. Your continued use of Along means that you are consenting to these updated terms following their "effective date." If at any point you would like to stop using Along, please email us at support@along.org.
