Introduction:
The CorrectEnglish Browser Extension (“CEX”) is owned by Vantageonlinestore.com (“Vantage”). The Company takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and will always offer you the CEX and its functionality with your privacy in mind.
We share the belief that privacy, when done right, is empowering, and that is why privacy is central to the CEX and new functionality that we may add. Therefore we only collect data to build our products for the benefits of our users and we believe that we as a company should never have any personal data (“Personal Data) about our users unless they affirmatively provide it to us.
The core functionality of the CEX is to improve the clarity and communication in their writing on any given website so individuals communicate better and fix common writing mistakes.
Basis to Collect and Use Personal Data
There is no obligation on your part to provide your Personal Data. However, if you do, we have a legitimate interest to collect and use it, namely so we can provide products or services, or complete a transaction with you.
Notion of Personal Data
Personal Data means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual such as name and age. Non-personal data are all data that cannot be used to identify an individual, such as statistics about usage of a website.
What Personal Data is collected
User Account: If you choose to open a user account, you can do so either when you download the CEX, or any other time through the CEX settings. If you choose to create a user account, we will collect the following Personal Data: name, email address. At any time you can deactivate your user account, at which time you will no longer have access to the services that a user account offers.
IP-Address: We do not differentiate between static or dynamic IP addresses – that is driven at the user level – but please see the Security section below to learn more about the security measures we take to protect data – including your IP-address – that the CEX collects.
How Personal Data is used
The use of the CEX Personal Data that we collect when you open an account is used for: (i) syncing your CEX settings across browsers and devices, (ii) serving as your login credentials, and (iii) communicating directly to you through your email address in order to give you information about our products, services, updates and upgrades (in certain cases for a fee).
Collection of Other Non-Personal Data
When you download the CEX it collects on an ongoing basis the following data: web browser, operating systems, and opt-in settings to share information with the Company, when an installation, upgrade, or uninstallation occurs, and whether the CEX is active or engaged by you.
We store and collect only custom dictionary words that you want ignored as spelling errors. We do not store any writing content or content checked by the CEX. We do not store any personal writing content for any purposes.

Data Processing Abroad
The data we collect, personal or otherwise, are located on servers based in the United States. If you are accessing or using CEX from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you may be allowing the collection or transferring of your personal data in or to the U.S. However, we have a strong data privacy framework in place to ensure an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data.
Data Retention
If you deactivate your user account, the Company retains the collected Personal Data if and for as long as it may be required by law (for example to fulfil retention periods prescribed by law) or judicial order. The Company will use this personal data only for those purposes and retains it only as long as prescribed by law. After that the Personal Data will be deleted.
Security
The Company has reasonable and appropriate technical, physical and administrative safeguards in place for a company of our size and complexity to protect the data that is collected. Some of the specific security measures we take include instantly hashing the origination IP addresses using very strong encryption technology to protect your privacy, whereupon the collected IP addresses and user agent information is destroyed. In addition, to further preserve your security, the CEX does not collect any information on URLs beyond the path query string.

At any time the user has the right to object any use of his personal data and can do so by writing to the Company at the physical address provided in the beginning of the document or by emailing the Company at MarketingGroup@vantagelearning.com.

Changes to Privacy Policy
We may occasionally change this Privacy Policy and when we do, we will also revise the “Effective Date” at the top of the Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will try to inform you via the CMP and, if you opened an account and gave us your email address, then we will also try to contact you through the email address you provided about those material changes. Ultimately, however, it is your responsibility to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about our data practices and any changes to them. Your continued use of the CEX constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any changes to it.
