  • with Vendors, consultants and other service providers working on our behalf
  • with other users that are associated with your account, such as a parent, teacher or coach.

Transparency and your choice

We take privacy very seriously. We strive to put you in control of the choices and decisions regarding your personal information.

We understand that your personal information is important to you, and that is why you have choices in how your personal information is used and shared. We want you to have access to your personal information, so that you can help keep it as accurate as possible.

For example, you can choose whether to create an account (or use the Service without registering). If you register for an account, you can:
  • Limit optional information you provide
  • Choose whether you wish to share personal information with (and use) third party services
  • Choose whether to add a coach to your account
  • Choose whether you wish to receive optional email
  • Update, correct, and delete your account information through your account settings
In some cases, administrative controls for accounts used in a school setting, including the ability to modify or delete the account, are held by the school.

Your account settings

We want you to have access to your information, so that you can help keep it as accurate as possible. If you register and provide HomeworkBD with information, you may update, correct, or delete your account and information at any time by reviewing your profile information and preferences on your account settings page.

Parents (not Children) can modify or delete Child User accounts. Parents or school users who request to modify or delete School Accounts may be directed to the school.

Security of your personal information

HomeworkBD is committed to securing your personal information.

Some of the ways in which we protect your personal information include:
  • We encrypt your personal information when it is stored at rest
  • We protect your personal information with encryption during transmission over the public Internet
  • We use reasonable organizational and technical safeguards designed to help protect the privacy and security of your personal information
Some of the ways in which we encourage you to protect your personal information include:
  • We encourage you to create a username that does not reveal your identity
  • We encourage you to create (and keep) a strong password
  • We encourage you to be thoughtful about what you post and continue to learn about online safety
We use reasonable safeguards to protect our Service and your personal information, but no security measures are perfect.

Links to Third Parties

The Service may link to and may be linked by websites operated by other entities or individuals. If we include links to third parties and you click on that link, you will be leaving HomeworkBD and the privacy policy of that third party applies. Similarly, if you see a link to HomeworkBD on a third-party website, then the privacy policy of that third party applies.
  • This HomeworkBD Privacy Policy does not apply to (and we cannot control the activities of) such other third-party websites.
  • You should consult the privacy policies of those third-party websites.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

HomeworkBD may modify or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. HomeworkBD will notify users of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the revised Privacy Policy with an updated date of revision on our Service. If we change this Policy in a material manner, we will do our best to notify you of the changes by posting a notice on our website. We recommend that you review the Privacy Policy each time you visit the Service to stay informed of our privacy practices.

We will not make any material changes to our Privacy Policy that relate to the collection or use of Student Personal Data without first giving notice to the school and providing a choice before Student Personal Data are used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected.

Schools and Student Use

This School and Student Use notice supplements our Privacy Policy in connection with school use. HomeworkBD is an educational website dedicated to providing free educational content. We strive to implement best practices to protect the privacy of all of our student and non-student users, alike. We have implemented additional controls and procedures for schools and teachers (collectively referred to as “Schools”) when they use the Service for educational purposes. When the Service is used as part of the school’s educational program, the personal information related to the school’s student users (“School Users”) may include information defined as “education records” by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) or other information protected by similar state student data privacy laws. We refer to this information as “Student Personal Data”.

Our commitment: Our collection and use of Student Personal Data are governed by our contracts with Schools, by our Privacy Policy, and by applicable privacy laws. For example, we work with Schools to protect Student Personal Data consistent with FERPA and, for School Users under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting the personal information of a School User, please contact your School directly. Creation of School Accounts: Please note that in order for School User accounts to be associated with a School and recognized as School Accounts (as defined in our Terms of Service), the accounts must be created by or at the direction of a School, using a school email address and associated with a School’s class on the Service. For example, a School Account is created when:
  • a teacher creates the user’s name, login and password to establish School User accounts and creates a class on the Service
  • an account is created by a School User at the direction of a School, using a school email address and associated with a School’s class on the Service
In cases where we do not have a separate contract with an educational agency, we may require notification that the accounts are used for school purposes in order to recognize them as School Accounts. If you are a School, please contact us to learn more about how to ensure that student accounts are set up and managed as School Accounts.

Children’s Privacy Notice

This privacy notice supplements our Privacy Policy and provides additional information about how we collect, use and share personal information from children under the age of 13 (a “Child” or “Children”).

HomeworkBD is committed to Children’s privacy.

Protecting the privacy of Children is especially important to HomeworkBD. For that reason, we created certain features designed to help protect personal information relating to Children (“Child Users”). When a Child creates an account, we seek the consent of a parent or legal guardian (“Parent”) for that account. When HomeworkBD is used by a School in an educational setting, we rely on the school to provide the requisite consent, on behalf of the Parent, for HomeworkBD to collect information from a School User under the age of 13.

Other information

If you wish to exercise a right, please Contact HomeworkBD. Our ability to respond to specific requests may be limited by applicable law and the functionality of our Service.

International Data Transfer: Our Service is operated and managed on servers located within the Bangladesh. If you choose to use our Service from USA or Europe or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that differ from Bangladesh law, then you acknowledge that HomeworkBD will transfer, store, and process your personal information to the Bangladesh for the purpose of performing the Service according to our contract and for any other purpose for which you provide explicit, informed consent.
