Registration information can include name, address, phone number, e-mail address, grade level, school, and school district. All personal information is retained in our database (except for credit card information). Personal information obtained and retained will not be provided to any third party. However, Educational Management Systems, LLC does allow, at the user's discretion, the ability to share word lists and comments with other users of the program. In order to share lists, a user must establish an account and elect to share information. You should be aware that once you register for an account and elect to share a list that your name, school, city, state, and zip code information become viewable by other registered users. If you are a registered user and you do not elect to share a list, your personal information will not be viewable by other registered users.

There may be incidences where users establish a fictitious name and/or location as they register and share lists. While Educational Management Systems, LLC makes some effort to prevent fictitious users, it is ultimately your responsibility, as a registered user, to take appropriate precautions when using shared lists.
