Plain English Privacy Statement & Terms of Use

Privacy

We take reasonable steps to secure your personal information. However, this is an evaluation tracking system, not a bank. Some people (administrators, designers, engineers, organizers, and others) may have access to your e-mail address and other non-password information, including the information you supplied when you registered, such as address, telephone, and membership numbers. We will send you e-mail for the purposes of submitting and accessing evaluations. We won't sell your contact information to third parties. We use cookies and other technology to maintain your account. We do not collect or store payment information such as credit card numbers.

Email address

Students and instructors may find and contact each other using the website's personal contact pages, without disclosing the recipient's e-mail address. Organizers may choose to proactively send student-instructor pairs each other's email so they can contact each other. If you do not wish this, contact your club's organizer before registering for the event.

Your password

Your password is stored on our servers encrypted with SHA512 with a salt, a technology considered secure by today's standards. Further, only system administrators have access to the encrypted password. Best-practice password management recommends that you use a password only for Driving Evals, or that you use a password consistent with the sensitivity of the data stored here. Don't use your bank or primary e-mail password, for example.

Evaluations

Your evaluations are shared with the person you reviewed. Beyond that, instructors have access to some student evaluations. Organizers have access to all evaluations. In order to allow candid responses, some evaluations may contain additional confidential information not shared with the reviewee. Evaluations of students performance, experience, and prior run group history will be used to place students in an appropriate run group at future events.

Copyright and intellectual property

The content, information, data, designs and code are protected by intellectual property laws, including copyright and trademark. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Licensed designs and code are the property of their copyright holders. All other designs and code are the property of Dan Chadwick. Submitted evaluations become the intellectual property of Driving Evals and Dan Chadwick.

You may not use a spider, scraper, or other automated technology to collect data from this website. You may not use exported data or reports, whether from Driving Evals or its partner registration systems, in conjunction with any other system or website without prior approval.

Things change

These terms may change, but we'll notify you if they change substantially. You may opt out simply by not registering, but without evaluation information, you may not be placed in the ideal run group at future events.

Indemnification and miscellaneous

If your misuse of this site causes us legal issues, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless. You agree to use the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in any dispute. You agree to arbitration from the American Arbitration Association. If you use this site, you accept these Terms of Use.

No soliciting / prospecting

Your use of Driving Evals may provide you with the name and/or contact information of other users. You may use this information only to operate your organization's events with your existing, pre-registered participants or for appropriate contact between instructors, students and peers. You may not use Driving Evals to solicit new participants to your organization's events. This applies to us should we act as event organizers.

Confidentiality of registration information

Using Driving Evals may require that we have access to information in your registration system. We respect the confidentiality of that information, just as you and your organization's organizers do.
