GetNvolved® Privacy Policy and Consent Agreement

 

By selecting “I agree”, you claim to have read and understand the following:

 

Nvolved, Inc., the GetNvolved® online application service provider will maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information collected from children and other users in accordance with the requirements of appropriate use of the system.  These requirements include the posting of opportunities, approval of records, sharing of reports, and promotion of the GetNvolved® service and product.

 

Information on all users, including their comments and contact information, can be used for promotional purposes by Nvolved, Inc., Member Agencies, Schools, and Coordinating Agencies.  This information may appear in public media such as newspapers, TV and radio broadcasts, agency newsletters and school publications without prior consent other than the acceptance of the GetNvolved® Privacy Policy.

 

Information will be routinely shared between users depending upon variables that include school affiliation, activity participation, and the users' roles. For example, it is required that students have information regarding their school personnel and that those school personnel have information on their students. Likewise, if a student or students express interest in an opportunity, the agencies providing said opportunities may receive information on those students to facilitate their engagement in service.

 

Generally, individual student information will not be shared between students, though a particular student's data will be reflected in summary information such as school's total hours, total responses and percentages of polling questions, total enrollments counts and so on.  There are occasions when a student may be overseeing activities of other students, such as a National Honor Society officer supervising particular events.  This oversight by one student over another on GetNvolved® can only be accomplished with the assistance of a teacher, Member Agency, Coordinating Agency, or Administrator.

 

Nvolved, Inc. and its directors, officers and employees are not responsible at any time for screen or checking the background of those who work directly with youth.

 

GetNvolved® Administrators, Teachers (school personnel), Coordinating Agency representatives, and Member Agency representatives may have access to information as required for monitoring and reporting on the activities of the students, partnering agencies and others on the GetNvolved™ system.  Additionally, the Contact as entered on specific opportunities and subsequently on the Student Tracking and Activity Report (STAR) Form have limited access to these specific records that they must approve or deny.

 

Special Provisions for those under the age of 13 are required. Users under the age of 13 cannot enter information into any record, but may browse opportunities.  Teachers, other school personnel, Member Agents, Coordinating Agents and Administrators on GetNvolved™ may enter data on behalf of these younger students. 

 

Nvolved, Inc. provides the software and online service to users but is not responsible for actions, omissions, errors, or misuse of the system by those users. Contact can be made to Nvolved, Inc. by logging on www.GetNvolved.org and sending feedback to the attention of an administrator or at www.nvolved.com.

Upon my acceptance of the GetNvolved® Privacy Policy and Consent Agreement, I do hereby agree to the following terms.

In consideration of my relationship with the Company (which for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any subsidiaries or Affiliates** of the Company), the receipt of confidential information while associated with the Company, and other good and valuable consideration, I agree that:

1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of my relationship with the Company and shall continue for four years thereafter until terminated through a written instrument signed by both parties.

2. Confidentiality.

(a)     Definitions. "Proprietary Information" is all information and any idea whatever form, tangible or intangible, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company, or any of its Affiliates, or its employees, clients, consultants, or business associates, which was produced by any employee or consultant of the Company in the course of his or her employment or consulting relationship or otherwise produced or acquired by or on behalf of the Company. All Proprietary Information not generally known outside of the Company's organization, and all Proprietary Information so known only through improper means, shall be deemed "Confidential Information." By example and without limiting the foregoing definition, Proprietary and Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to:

(1)   formulas, research and development techniques, processes, trade secrets, computer programs, software, electronic codes, mask works, inventions, innovations, patents, patent applications, discoveries, improvements, data, know-how, formats, test results, and research projects;

(2)   information about costs, profits, markets, sales, contracts and lists of customers, and distributors;

(3)   business, marketing, and strategic plans;

(4)   forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets, projections, and customer identities, characteristics and agreements; and

(5)   employee personnel files and compensation information.

(a)     Confidential Information is to be broadly defined, and includes all information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which the Company is engaged or contemplates engaging, and all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Company, whether or not such information is identified as Confidential Information by the Company.

(b)     Existence of Confidential Information. The Company owns and has developed and compiled, and will develop and compile, certain trade secrets, proprietary techniques and other Confidential Information which have great value to its business. This Confidential Information includes not only information disclosed by the Company to me, but also information developed or learned by me during the course of my relationship with the Company.

(c)     Protection of Confidential Information. I will not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any third party, other than in my assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, any of the Company's Confidential Information, either during or after my relationship with the Company. In the event I desire to publish the results of my work for the Company through literature or speeches, I will submit such literature or speeches to the President of the Company at least 10 days before dissemination of such information for a determination of whether such disclosure may alter trade secret status, may be prejudicial to the interests of the Company, or may constitute an invasion of its privacy. I agree not to publish, disclose or otherwise disseminate such information without prior written approval of the President of the Company. I acknowledge that I am aware that the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of the Company may be highly prejudicial to its interests, an invasion of privacy, and an improper disclosure of trade secrets.

(d)     Prior Actions and Knowledge. I represent and warrant that from the time of my first contact with the Company I held in strict confidence all Confidential Information and have not disclosed any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside the Company, or used, copied, published, or summarized any Confidential information, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement.

(e)     Third-Party Information. I acknowledge that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential information subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I agree that I will at all times hold all such confidential information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform my obligations hereunder and as is consistent with the Company's agreement with such third parties.

(f)      Third Parties. I represent that my relationship with the Company does not and will not breach any agreements with or duties to a former employer or any other third party. I will not disclose to the Company or use on its behalf any confidential information belonging to others and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any confidential information belonging to any such party unless consented to in writing by such party.

 (g)    Acknowledgement. I acknowledge that there are no currently existing ideas, processes, inventions, discoveries, marketing or business ideas or improvements which I desire to exclude from the operation of this Agreement. To the best of my knowledge, there is no other contract to assign inventions, trademarks, copyrights, ideas, processes, discoveries or other intellectual property that is now in existence between me and any other person (including any business or governmental entity).

(h)     No Use of Name. I shall not at any time use the Company's name or any the Company trademark(s) or trade name(s) in any advertising or publicity without the prior written consent of the Company.

4. Competitive Activity.

(a)     Acknowledgment. I acknowledge that the pursuit of the activities forbidden by Section 4(b) below would necessarily involve the use, disclosure or misappropriation of Confidential Information.

(b)     Prohibited Activity. To prevent the above-described disclosure, misappropriation and breach, I agree that during my relationship and for a period of one (4) years thereafter, without the Company's express written consent, I shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) employ, solicit for employment, or recommend for employment any person employed by the Company (or any Affiliate); and (ii) engage in any present or contemplated business activity that is or may be competitive with the Company (or any Affiliate) in any state where the Company conducts its business, unless I can prove that any action taken in contravention of this subsection (ii) was done without the use in any way of Confidential Information.

5. Representations and Warranties. I represent and warrant (i) that I have no obligations, legal or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with my undertaking a relationship with the Company; (ii) that the performance of the services called for by this Agreement do not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or any proprietary or other right of any third party; (iii) that I will not use in the performance of my responsibilities for the Company any confidential information or trade secrets of any other person or entity; and (iv) that I have not entered into or will enter into any agreement (whether oral or written) in conflict with this Agreement.

6.     Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party. By way of example and not limitation, this Agreement shall not be construed against the party responsible for any language in this Agreement. The headings of the paragraphs hereof are inserted for convenience only, and do not constitute part of and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement.

7.     Attorneys' Fees. Should either I or the Company, or any heir, personal representative, successor or permitted assign of either party, resort to legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party (as defined in California statutory law) in such legal proceeding shall be awarded, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such proceeding.

8.     Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such term, provision, covenant or condition as applied to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

9.     Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative, and the exercise of any right or remedy by either the Company or me (or by that party's successor), whether pursuant hereto, to any other agreement, or to law, shall not preclude or waive that party's right to exercise any or all other rights and remedies. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

10.   Nonwaiver. The failure of either the Company or me, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, power or privilege, nor of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance. Any waiver by the Company or by me must be in writing and signed by either myself, if I am seeking to waive any of my rights under this Agreement, or by an officer of the Company (other than me) or some other person duly authorized by the Company.

11.   Notices. Any notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be sufficient if it is in writing, and if and when it is hand delivered or sent by regular mail, with postage prepaid, to my residence (as noted in the Company's records), or to the Company's principal office, as the case may be.

19.   Agreement to Perform Necessary Acts. I agree to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

20.   Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the Company's prior written consent.

21.   Compliance with Law. I agree to abide by all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations.

22.   Acknowledgment. I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to consult legal counsel in regard to this Agreement, that I have read and understand this Agreement, that I am fully aware of its legal effect, and that I have entered into it freely and voluntarily and based on my own judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement.
