To the extent Simple Learning Systems is regarded as selling or sharing your personal information, you have the right to request that we stop selling or sharing your personal information (“opt-out”). We cannot sell or share your personal information after we receive your opt-out request unless you later authorize us to do so again.
To exercise your Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing, you can opt out of cookie sharing on our website by using the Cookiebot banner, which is accessible via the icon in the bottom left corner of the site.

To exercise your Right to Limit Use of Personal Information, you can use the opt-out page on our website or email us.

We cannot deny goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services just because you exercised your rights under the CCPA.

We may offer you promotions, discounts, and other deals in exchange for collecting, keeping, or selling your personal information. We can only do this if the financial incentive offered is reasonably related to the value of your personal information. If you ask us to delete or stop selling your personal information, you may not be able to continue participating in the special deals we offer in exchange for personal information.
If you are not sure how your request may affect your participation in a special offer, ask using the opt-out page on our website or email us.

Use of Cookies, Advertising, and Opt-Out
The Mandated Reporter Training website uses cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and use our Services, analyze trends, learn about our user base and operate and improve our Services.
A Cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Mandated Reporter Training pages, or register with MandatedReporterTraining.com site or services, a cookie helps the website to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Mandated Reporter Training platform.
Retention and Deletion of Personal Information
Unless deletion is otherwise requested under applicable law or as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, Simple Learning Systems retains Personal Information about you for as long as you have an open account with us, for as long as needed to fulfill the particular purpose for which it was collected and as directed by you, or as otherwise necessary to provide our Services.
In some cases we retain Personal Information for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including the fulfillment of a legitimate interest). We may further retain information in an anonymous or de-identified aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.
Security of your Personal Information
Simple Learning Systems secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We secure the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Simple Learning Systems will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company policies and customer feedback. Mandated Reporter Training encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Simple Learning Systems is protecting your information.
