Last Updated: June 26, 2023
Weave Education, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Weave” or “we”) is a software platform that provides data management solutions in the higher education sector. Weave respects your privacy, and this Privacy Notice applies to the Weave products, software and services (the “Weave Platform”) available at kwr.ecole-arts.com (the “Site”), as well as your interactions with Weave, the Weave Platform, and the Site.
This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal data we collect in connection with the Weave Platform, the purposes for which we collect such personal data, the other parties with whom we may disclose personal data, the measures we take to protect the security of personal data, and our direct marketing practices. It also tells you about your rights with respect to your personal data, and how you can reach us to exercise your rights, update your information, or get answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices.
Information We Collect
In connection with the Weave Platform, we collect certain personal data from and about subscribers (“Subscriber”) participating in the Weave Platform and their respective users and/or admins (collectively, “Users”). We collect information when an account is created on behalf of a Subscriber or User as part of the subscription process to the Weave Platform. We primarily collect information from our subscribers, rather than directly from the individual the data relates to. This information includes personal data, which is information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular individual or household. We also collect information automatically when you visit, access or use the Site or Weave Platform by automated means such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons in order to provide more seamless service to you. The information collected automatically may include personal data. The Use of Cookies section below describes these practices in more detail. Finally, we also collect personal data from third parties and publicly available sources.

Finally, as part of our information processing, we may collect or handle information related to students as part of administering our services. Student information will only be collected and used to administer the services, and is subject to all safeguards and rights in this policy including the provisions regarding access, sharing and security. To the extent we handle any information that constitutes an “education record”, as defined by the Family Educational Rights at Privacy Act (FERPA) located at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, we support institutions in complying with their FERPA obligations.

We disclose personal data to perform the services requested through the Weave Platform, including with our service providers and affiliates. We require our service providers to only use personal data shared with them to perform services on our behalf, consistent with their legal obligations. These service providers are required to appropriately safeguard the privacy and security of personal data they process on our behalf, and must treat information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
We may share aggregated and de-identified information with participating financial institutions and their customers. For example, we may share data to show trends about the general use of the Weave Platform. Weave also shares data with payment processors who process payments on our behalf.
We also may disclose personal data about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) if we are requested by law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity.
In the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets and this Privacy Notice no longer applies to your information, we will endeavor to ensure the successor entity uses information consistent with this Privacy Notice, unless you consent otherwise. Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal data with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.

You can at any time tell us not to send you marketing communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link within the marketing e-mails you receive from us or by changing the settings on your account.
How We Protect Personal Information
We strive to maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the personal data we collect and maintain about you against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information, and how it is collected and stored. We restrict access to personal data about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you.
Data Retention
We will only retain data for the time necessary to provide services to you. We will delete, de-identify, or aggregate any personal information about you if it is no longer necessary to provide the Weave Platform, the Site or Weave’s additional products and services, subject to our legal obligations to retain data.
Data Transfers and EU Residents
We may transfer personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your personal data to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice. To offer our services, we may need to transfer your personal data among several countries, including the United States, where we are headquartered. We endeavor to comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the United States.
If you are an EU Resident and wish to exercise your rights to access, delete, or amend your data, if you would like us to stop processing your data, or if you would like to exercise any other rights conferred under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) please contact us at the address below. Please note that we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before implementing your rights request, including asking you to provide identification, if necessary.

If you reside in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under the state consumer privacy laws passed in these states. As mentioned in the Your Rights and Choices section above, you have rights to access, amend, review, and know the personal data we collect about you, and the right to have your personal data provided to you in a readily usable format, where technically feasible. You also have the right to request which third parties we have shared your personal information with over the last 12 months. You can designate an agent to exercise your rights for you. Please note that we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before implementing your rights request, including asking you to provide identification, if necessary.
