BITS Behavior Information Tracking System

Web-Based Behavior Management System Privacy Policy

School and Student privacy is extremely important, so BITS has created the following Privacy Policy to let you know what information we collect when you use the BITS web-based behavior management system, why we collect it and how it is used.

The terms "you," "your," and "yours" refer to district users using the BITS web-based behavior management system. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to BITS (A service of Garrett Development and Consulting, LLC). By using the BITS web-based behavior management system, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. We may periodically make changes to this Privacy Policy that we will include on this page. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy frequently and remain informed about any changes to it, so we encourage you to visit this page often.

Is The Information Shared or Disclosed?

Information collected from you is only used to complete and support your use of the BITS web-based behavior management system. BITS does not rent, sell or share personally identifiable information it collects about you, your district, schools, staff or students in conjunction with use of your account to or with third parties.

The Security of Your Information

We will take reasonable precautions to protect personally identifiable information in our possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is, however, 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Commitment to Data Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

We restrict access to personal information to BITS employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
