<p>We will share information we collect with the Universities, and we and the Universities may share this information (including Personal Information) with third parties as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>With service providers or contractors that perform certain functions on our behalf, including processing information that you provide to us on the Site, operating the Site or portions of it or in connection with other aspects of edX services.

If we do use your postings, we will use them without your real name and e-mail (except with explicit permission), but we may use your username. </li>
<li>To connect you to other users of the Site. For instance, we may recommend specific study partners or connect potential student mentees and mentors. In such cases, we may use all information collected to determine who to connect you to, but we will only connect you by username, and not disclose your real name or e-mail address to your contact. </li>
<li>To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, in response to a request for cooperation from law enforcement or another government agency, to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or to enforce our user agreement or privacy policy, or to protect our rights or the rights of others.</li>
<li>As otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent. For example, from time to time, we may ask your permission to use your Personally Identifiable Information in other ways. In the future, edX may have an alumni association, resume book, etc. We may offer services where it is possible to verify edX credentials. </li>
<li>For integration with third party services. Videos and other content may be hosted on YouTube and other web sites not controlled by edX. We may provide links and other integration with social networks and other sites. Those web sites are guided by their own privacy policies. </li>
<li>With service providers or contractors that perform certain functions on our or the Universities' behalf, including processing information that you provide to us on the Site, processing purchases and other transactions through the Site, operating the Site or portions of it, providing or administering courses, or in connection with other aspects of edX or University services.</li>
<li>With other visitors to the Site, to the extent that you submit comments, course work or other information or content (collectively, &ldquo;Postings&rdquo;) to a portion of the Site designed for public communications; and with other members of an edX class of which you are a member, to the extent you submit Postings to a portion of the Site designed for viewing by those class members. We may provide your Postings to students who later enroll in the same classes as you, within the context of the forums, the courseware or otherwise. If we do re-post your Postings originally made to non-public portions of the Site, we will post them without your real name and e-mail (except with explicit permission), but we may use your username. </li>
<li>For purposes of scientific research, particularly, for example, in the areas of cognitive science and education. However, we will only share Personal Information about you for this purpose to the extent doing so complies with applicable law.</li>
<li>To provide opportunities for you to communicate with other users who may have similar interests or educational goals. For instance, we may recommend specific study partners or connect potential student mentees and mentors. In such cases, we may use all information collected about you to determine who might be interested in communicating with you, but we will only provide other users your username, and not disclose your real name or e-mail address to your contact. </li>
<li>To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; in response to a request for cooperation from law enforcement or another government agency; to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, security or technical issues, or to enforce our Terms of Service, Honor Code or this Privacy Policy; as otherwise may be required by applicable law; or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others.</li>
<li>With affiliates of edX or the Universities, or with successors in the event of a merger, acquisition or reorganization, for their use consistent with this Privacy Policy. </li>
<li>As otherwise described to you at the point of collection, pursuant to your consent, or otherwise as permitted by law (e.g., disclosures permitted under FERPA, to the extent FERPA applies to the information).</li>
<li>For integration with third party services. For example, videos and other content may be hosted on YouTube and other websites not controlled by edX.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, we may share aggregated information that does not personally identify you with the public and with third parties, including, e.g., researchers and business partners.</p>
<h2>Links to Other Websites</h2>
<p>The Sites may contain links to websites published by other content providers. These other websites are not under our control, and you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the collection and use of your information by such websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each website you visit and use.</p>
<h2>Personalization and Pedagogical Improvements</h2>
<p>Our goal is to provide current and future visitors with the best possible educational experience. To further this goal, we sometimes present different users with different versions of course materials and software. We do this to personalize the experience to the individual learner (assess the learner's level of ability and learning style, and present materials best suited to the learner), to evaluate the effectiveness of our course materials, to improve our understanding of the learning process and to otherwise improve the effectiveness of our offerings. We may publish or otherwise publicize results from this process, but only as non-personally-identifiable data.</p>
