ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This Acknowledgment, including the Privacy Notice at www.ets.org/legal/privacy, contains the terms and conditions between you and Educational
Testing Service (“ETS,” “we,” “us,” “our”) regarding the ETS test you are now registering for and/or the testing products and services you are now
requesting (these are together referred to as “Testing Services”). It applies to all actions you take regarding the Testing Services, including
creating an online account, providing survey information regarding a test that you take, requesting one of our services relating to the test and
completing a test or product order and providing payment information.
Personal Information
In registering for the Testing Services, you acknowledge and agree that we have the right to obtain, collect, store, use, disclose (including to public
authorities and score recipients), extract and transmit (collectively “use”) the personal information you provide, including your full name, home
address, email address, telephone number, social security or similar number, passport number, national ID number, gender, nationality, age,
date of birth, responses to other background information questions, test administration date and details, payment information and how you
specifically use our website. This also includes our use of biometric data (including fingerprints, audio recordings, facial images and video files)
provided by you in the course of your registering for and participating in the Testing Services. All of the above data is referred to as “Personal
Information.” Which Personal Information we hold, how we use it and how long we hold it for may be subject to legal limitations in the
jurisdiction in which you receive the Testing Services. ETS strives to meet these legal requirements, and further information on how we do so is
provided below.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your Personal Information to:
• complete any registration, purchases or other transactions you request
• improve our products and services, and identify, develop and offer new or expanded products and services
• improve and personalize your experience on the website, and customize the content and/or format of the pages you visit
• subject to your opting-in (see below), notify you about updates, products, services and/or special offers from ETS, its affiliates and
selected third parties
• ask you to participate in brief surveys or provide other information
• generate aggregate statistical studies and conduct research ourselves or jointly with others related to our products and services and the
use of our website
If you agree (or have agreed) under other agreements with ETS that we may use your Personal Information in additional ways, those other
agreements will not be limited by this separate Acknowledgment.
International Transfer
ETS, its website, and its servers are located in the United States. Therefore, your information, including Personal Information, will be transferred
from your location to the United States in accordance with applicable laws. It may also be transferred directly from your location or via the U.S.
to other countries who provide processing services to ETS, all at the direction of ETS and in accordance with applicable laws. In accepting this
Acknowledgment, you are agreeing to cross-border transfers of your information, including your Personal Information. If you do not agree to
these cross-border transfers, then you should refrain from using the website. You may have a right under applicable law to revoke your consent
to the international transfer of your Personal Information. If you do so, we are unlikely to be able to continue providing the Testing Services to
you.
Third Party Disclosure
We communicate your Personal Information to certain third parties, within the jurisdiction of your location and elsewhere, with whom we have a
direct or indirect business or contract relationship in order to provide you with the Testing Services you have requested. These third parties
assist with various aspects of the delivery of the Testing Services, including security services and score distribution services.
Your Rights
In some instances, under applicable laws, you have the right to withdraw your consent and require us to delete your Personal Information
should the lawful purposes for which we hold it cease. You may also request that we correct your Personal Information if it is incorrect,
inaccurate, misleading or incomplete. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting
access or making corrections.
