Hubbe Inc. (HUBBE INC) is under contract with Counties and Other Funding Agencies ("Funder") to provide a Web-based Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) data collection and program management system (Hubbe) for designated Preschool Agencies. The Funder contracts with HUBBE INC to provide the Hubbe Site pursuant to agreed specifications. Some features of the Hubbe Site may not be accessible to all users. This Privacy Policy explains HUBBE INC's privacy policy with respect to the personally-identifiable data collected through the Hubbe Site.

Hubbe is a program management and reporting system with features designed for use by a wide variety of early education stakeholders, including preschool teachers and other staff at preschool sites, funders, independent assessors, and professional development coaches. Some features of Hubbe are designed for and available only to the preschool providers and their authorized staff ("Educators"). Other features of Hubbe are designed for the Funders. The purpose of the Hubbe features for Educators is to facilitate the enrollment of students, recording assessment scores, tracking referrals, taking attendance, documenting professional development activities, and reporting to the Funder.

HUBBE INC collects and uses personally identifiable data through the Hubbe Site in accordance with, and for the purpose of fulfilling, its QRIS system contract with the Funder. Data reporting activities to the Funder will be conducted in accordance to the QRIS Operating Guidelines at the designated quarterly intervals. Hubbe's workflow for data submittals includes an administrative review by the Educator before data is submitted to the funder.

Access to the Hubbe Site is regulated by a Whitelist, Greylist, Blacklist scheme used in conjunction with account password controls. This system features:

• Only users on a IP whitelist have full access to Hubbe.
• Users with authorized account credentials (account and password) that access Hubbe via a non-whitelist IP may have partial access to Hubbe. Personally-Identifiable Information (PII or PID) such as student name, address, or date of birth are masked by asterisks.
• IP's from commonly known internet trouble regions are Blacklisted and have no access to Hubbe.
• Strong passwords are required and enforced.
• Electronic access is via FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption using SSL/HTTPS.
• All users have role and organization-based restrictions.

Only an authorized Educator may enter data on a student's record through the Hubbe Site. An authorized Educator may review the student record on the Hubbe Site, make student record changes, review available assessment reports and otherwise track data for that student. An Educator may contact the funder if the Educator believes there may be an issue with a student record or encounters any issues in accessing or correcting information through the Hubbe Site.

Except for the limited exceptions set forth below, HUBBE INC will not share with, or disclose to, third parties, the names of users, staff, students or other personally identifiable information collected through or in connection with the Hubbe Site. HUBBE INC may, however, use or disclose personally identifiable information:

• As requested or required by the Funder for the QRIS Program or the user's or student's School or School District.
• In response to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, to the extent permitted or required by law;
• To protect student or user security, or the security of other persons, consistent with applicable laws;
• As required by law;
• In connection with the sale, joint venture or transfer of some or all of the assets of Hubbe Inc., subject to written approval from the Funder; and/or
• To affiliated companies and contractors providing services for the QRIS Program who are obligated to take appropriate commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information and use it solely for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
• Non-personally identifiable aggregated information collected through this website may be used for quality assurance and for research and development and may be disclosed to third parties in non-personally identifiable form upon receipt of written approval from the Funder.

Subject to the other provisions of this Privacy Policy and contractual obligations, HUBBE INC will take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of all personal information and student records collected and managed through the Hubbe Site. For example, the Hubbe Site currently uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect user account and password information and uses a secure connection to HUBBE INC servers, which are protected by firewalls to prevent unauthorized break-ins. The administrative system and authentication mechanisms are protected through the use of SSL encryption of data transmitted via HTTP. As other security methodologies become commercially available, HUBBE INC may change its current security systems processes or substitute these systems with other security systems or processes. UNFORTUNATELY, NO DATA TRANSMISSION OVER THE INTERNET IS GUARANTEED COMPLETELY SECURE. GIVEN THE INHERENT OPERATION AND STRUCTURE OF THE INTERNET, ALL TRANSMISSIONS ARE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

User Information and access to the Hubbe Site is password protected for the privacy and protection of student personal and student assessment data. Educators, and other users are urged to keep confidential all user information and passwords. If storage of this information is required, it is recommended that it be kept in a secure location.
