Personal information and choice: Personal information is information about a natural person that identifies or describes an individual, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address, home telephone number, education, and employment history, readily identifiable to that specific individual. A domain name or Internet protocol address is not considered personal information; however, it is considered electronically collected personal information.

According to Government Code § 11015.5, electronically collected personal information means any information that is maintained by Thompson Learning Corporation (TLC) that identifies or describes an individual user, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address, home telephone number, education, and employment history, password, electronic mail address, and information that reveals any network location or identity, but excludes any information manually submitted to Thompson Learning Corporation (TLC) by a user, whether electronically or in written form, and information on or relating to individuals who are users, serving in a business capacity, including, but not limited to, business owners, officers or principals of that business.

Electronically collected personal information automatically collected includes your domain name or Internet protocol address and statistical information about which Web pages you visit. If you voluntarily participate in an activity that asks for specific information (i.e. completing a request for assistance, personalizing the content of the Website, sending an e-mail, or participating in a survey) more detailed data will be collected. Also, if you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of the Web site.

However, this information may be a public record once you provide it, & may be subject to public inspection and copying if not otherwise protected by federal or state law.
