PII may include: your name, email, mailing and/or home address, phone numbers, or other information that identifies you personally. The 18 PHI identifiers are: names, dates (except years), telephone numbers, geographic data, fax numbers, social security numbers, email addresses, medical record numbers, account numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, certificate/license numbers, vehicle identifiers and serial numbers including license plates, web URLs, device identifiers and serial numbers, internet protocol addresses, full face photos and comparable images, biometric identifiers (i.e. retinal scan, fingerprints), and any unique identifying number or code.

PII and PHI. Generally, Catapult Learning® does not collect PII and PHI when you visit our website unless you choose to provide such information to us. We ask that you do not submit any PHI via the Catapult Learning® Website. Submitting PII through our website is voluntary and you do so at your own discretion. By doing so, you are giving Catapult Learning® your permission to use the PII for the stated purpose. However, not providing certain PII may result in Catapult Learning’s inability to provide you with the service you desire.

If you choose to provide us with PII through our website, through such methods as completing a web form or sending us an email, Catapult Learning® will use that information to help to provide you with the information or service that you have requested or to respond to your message.

We will only send you general information via email or newsletter. You should be reminded that email may not necessarily be secure against interception. Therefore, we suggest that you do not send sensitive personal data (such as your Social Security number) to us via email. If your intended email communication is very sensitive, or includes information such as your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number, you should instead send it by U.S. mail. Another alternative may be submission of data through a secure web page, if available.

AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION. We collect and temporarily store certain information about your visit for use in site management and security purposes only. We collect and analyze this information because it helps us to better design our website to suit your needs. We may also automatically collect information about the web content you view in the event of a known security or virus threat.
