Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience.

From time to time, we may request information from users and newsletter subscribers via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.

If a user's personally identifiable information changes or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.

As we continue to develop our website, this privacy policy likely will change. We will post all changes to this policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. You agree to review this policy periodically since such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon posting and your subsequent use after such posting shall conclusively be deemed to be acceptance by you of such changes, modifications or deletions.

If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the website at any time or in any manner. If Idaho Ed Trends learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected through the website without verified parental consent, then Idaho Ed Trends will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
