Description

HotChalk collects personal information from its users for several reasons. When providing online educational services, HotChalk electronically collects the student, teacher, parent, and administrator information required by educational institutions from those taking or teaching courses at the physical institution. HotChalk stores this information on its servers and makes the information available to the institution. In an online medium, detailed affirmation of users’ identities and their actions while using HotChalk products is necessary to verify that course participants and permitted users are legitimate. The information provided during registration, such as e-mail address, institution affiliation, and zip code, may be used to create personalized content. HotChalk is dedicated to the integrity of its customer base so the law is not unknowingly broken through its member population. HotChalk must handle personal information of our users and must know who each member is, have proof of that member’s identity, know how to contact that member, and occasionally verify how the member is using the HotChalk Learning Environment or Site.

HotChalk is led by a board of directors representing more than 100 years of combined experience in the technology, information, and education fields. This depth of knowledge and expertise guides us in our mission to help everyone, everywhere pursue their full academic potential.
