The Service, at any time, is permitted to add, remove or any way change monetization to any existing, upcoming or other feature. That means You will be required to pay for it.

For example, if seeing an average grade for a course is a paid service, and You are a Free User, Your grade in the course may be used to enhance the average grade shown to users who have paid (“Paid Users”).
We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:
We want to inform our Service users that these third parties have access to Your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
At some point, We may enable login (authentication) via a third-party service provider (TPSP), like Instructure Inc.’s Canvas or Google, among others. These may or may not be optional. When You use a TPSP’s login, You agree to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, if applicable. We are not liable for anything relating to TPSPs.
We value Your trust in providing us with Your Personal Information, thus We are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our Service may contain links to other sites. If You click on a third-party link, You will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of these Websites. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. In the case We discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, We immediately delete this from our servers.

Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. At this time, we do not respond to Web browser “do not track” settings or signals. As described in our Cookie Policy, we deploy cookies and other technologies on our Service to collect information about you and your browsing activity, even if you have turned on the Do Not Track signal.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.
Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.
