Please read this Website Master Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (“Website Terms”) carefully before using this Website, www.swingeducation.com, or any of the Services (collectively the “Platform & Services”) made available through the Website, as offered by Swing Education, Inc. (“Swing Education”). These Terms are legally binding and govern your use of the Platform & Services, including related mobile and web service and services from third parties that are incorporated, used, or made available by the Platform & Services. This document is available on the Swing Website at www.swingeducation.com/tc.

Concerning the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): This website does not use any complex graphics, illustrations, or other non-machine readable elements that are critical for navigation or comprehension. However, if you need any assistance in reading or navigating this website, please contact www.swingeducation.com/support and we will provide direct assistance to you as needed.

Swing Education uses cookies on this website to collect information, but only uses this information for internal purposes– we do not share or sell this information. Once you sign up for account as a (prospective) SwingSub substitute teacher, we do explicitly ask for personal information necessary for your teaching engagements (such as name and address) and share such information with third parties (such as schools) only as necessary for you to carry out teaching engagements. During such process we will provide channels on how to correct or delete such information as requested and appropriate. Swing Education makes every effort to comply with various laws concerning data privacy, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), sometimes even when not actually required.

COVID-19 Policy & Agreement

Because of the exigencies of the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, Swing Education has developed additional procedures and terms related to this pandemic, enumerated in this Agreement/Section. Swing Education may change this policy and these terms based on ongoing developments, including applicable laws and government guidance, and will provide each School (“you”) reasonable notice of material changes.

You agree to provide a clean and safe work environment in accordance with all relevant federal, state, and local governments and health agency guidance, including but not limited to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the Worldwide Health Organization (“WHO”), and the relevant Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) to protect the safety and well-being of your students, staff, and of SwingSubs, keeping in mind in particular the COVID-19 pandemic. If, in the sole discretion of Swing Education, your campus(es) is deemed unsafe, you may temporarily be suspended from accessing the Swing Education Platform & Services until it is deemed safe in the sole discretion of Swing Education. Swing Education also reserves the right to limit SwingSub requests (including number and type of requests) made on the Platform & Services to distance learning assignments (e.g., teaching remotely), and to convert already-issued requests to distance learning. Factors which contribute to such limits include, but are not limited to: (1) federal, state and county public health guidelines; (2) teacher and staff support for in-person instruction, and (3) public COVID-19 metrics such as testing availability, positive cases per capita, test positivity rates and hospital/ICU capacity. This determination is made to prioritize the safety of School staff, students, and families, as well as that of SwingSubs.

You agree to inform Swing Education immediately at www.swingeducation.com/support if there are any confirmed case(s) on your campus(es), and to include in such notification: when you learned of the confirmed case(s), any and all safety measure(s) taken in response to said incident, any and all safety measure(s) you anticipate taking in the future, and any additional information required by applicable law. Swing Education reserves the right to suspend your access to the Platform & Services and/or limit your Requests to remote learning Requests only, should Swing Education, in its sole discretion, deem such safety measures inadequate. Your Platform & Services access and/or in-person Requests, as the case may be, will be reinstated only when such safety measures are deemed adequate.

Swing Education requires SwingSubs to: (i) familiarize themselves with the rules and protocols of each School partner at which they accept an assignment and adhere to those rules and protocols; (ii) to go through a COVID-19 screening the morning of every assignment (a current version of that questionnaire is provided, for your reference, at the end of this Section); and (iii) adhere to all relevant local, state, federal and health agency COVID-19 guidelines, including but not limited to mask-related guidelines and isolation/quarantine and social distancing guidelines, while working with Swing Education. Because each School is up to date on its own COVID-19 policies and protocols, and is in control of the working site and has more immediate contact and control of SwingSubs, particularly during the Fill (service term) of a SwingSub, School shall assist Swing Education in keeping Swing Education and SwingSubs up to date and in compliance with such COVID-19 requirements, including direct communication, as appropriate, with SwingSubs on the first day of and during a Fill. For instance, School can put any requirements, surveys, or other information in the Request Details for each Request posted on the Swing Platform.

Should a SwingSub on an assignment at your campus be sent home because they display symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive for COVID-19, you must notify Swing immediately at www.swingeducation.com/support. Please note that if there is any confirmed case on your campus, it is your responsibility to report this to OSHA and otherwise take any and all steps required by applicable law.

While Swing Education recognizes that backing out of an assignment upon arriving at a School site is a major inconvenience to you, we must give SwingSubs the discretion to do this if they feel unsafe, particularly in the age of COVID-19. You can direct any communication with respect to cancelation or any other issues to our support team at www.swingeducation.com/support.

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to COVID-19: The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARS-CoV-2”). COVID-19 is an infectious disease that is extremely contagious. COVID-19 can be spread through the air when an infectious person talks or vocalizes, sneezes, coughs, or exhales. Although less common, COVID-19 may also be transmitted when a person touches a contaminated object and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. Investigation and knowledge of COVID-19 and associated illnesses is ongoing. Federal, state, and local governments and health agencies have made and continue to make evolving recommendations and regulations to address COVID-19. While Swing Education takes reasonable precautions with regard to COVID-19 screening of SwingSubs, Swing Education cannot guarantee that your School staff, students, and others who come into contact with students and your School staff, will not become infected with COVID-19 or other illnesses, no matter what precautions we take.

By continuing to use the Swing Education Platform & Services, you also certify that you have read and understood this COVID-19 policy and will adhere to the requirements herein. Failure to adhere to Agreement/Section and any updates thereto is grounds for immediate suspension from access to the Swing Education Platform & Services.

SwingSub COVID-19 Screening: SwingSubs are required to go through the following questionnaire the morning of any day in which they engage in an assignment. If they answer YES to any of the questions 1-3, they must inform Swing Education immediately. This notice must include, as is applicable: the date of exposure, the date on which symptoms began, and/or the date of diagnosis. Swing Education may change this SwingSub screening process based on ongoing developments, including applicable laws and government guidance.

1.  Do you currently have (or had within the past 3 days) any of the symptoms below that have not been attributed to another condition by a licensed healthcare professional? YES or NO

Description of Services and Parties

Swing Education’s Platform & Services allow Schools to post requests for SwingSubs (teachers and related professionals) that fill teaching assignments for Schools and others. The Platform & Services, enables Schools to view information about SwingSubs and track their requests, and allows SwingSubs to view and accept such requests, for example.

Swing Education also provides Platform & Services for Families to hire SwingSubs (also referred to as “Tutors”) to teach or tutor students in non-school settings, referred to as “Bubbles” or “Learning Pods”.

There are at least four types of Parties that use this Website / Platform & Services, as listed below, and some of these Website Terms are specific to one or more of those Parties. In general, the terms apply to all Parties/users, except for those that explicitly mention a particular type of Party or that by nature cannot apply to all. In the event of any conflict between the terms of a signed agreement between such Parties and Swing Education, the terms of the signed agreement will control.

(1) (2) School Administrators and Schools: School administrators who use the Website to engage in the Platform & Services (for instance, in order to post teaching requests). The general relationship between Swing Education and such School is governed by any such signed agreements. The Website terms herein are meant mainly to address use of the Website and management of related information (for example, an administrator’s Google online account).

Some terms governing the relationship between Schools and Swing Education are listed in this document, but the majority are in the signed agreement between these two parties. In the event of any conflict between the terms of that signed agreement and these Website Terms, the terms of the signed agreement will control.
(3) Families (specifically, parents and guardians of students taught by Swing Education SwingSubs/Tutors in non-school settings (Bubble or Learning Pods).
(4) SwingSubs, who are teachers and related professionals working to provide teaching and tutoring services for Schools and Families.

Please note any individual under 18 (namely, students) may not have an account with Swing Education. As a family parent or guardian in particular (category 3 above), you must hold the account and manage the student experience as such, and not the student directly. If you are aware of any student or any individual under 18 that has created an account, please contact us at www.swingeducation.com/support immediately so that we may delete such account.

School Cancellation. Canceling last minute has a big impact on our teachers. Requests that are filled by a SwingSub, and canceled within 24 hours (and not related to performance reasons) will be invoiced based on the Applicable Rate plus the Standard Fee, unless otherwise specified. Other entities and individuals have other cancellation policies which are noted in your agreements.
School Recruitment. As a school, if you want to hire or contract directly with a SwingSub, you agree to pay Swing a $2,500 finder’s fee to cover costs associated with finding, screening and onboarding the sub, and anticipated loss of revenue, unless otherwise specified. Other entities and individuals have other finder fee arrangements which are noted in your agreements.

You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Swing Education’s sole discretion, not subject to appeal, and that Swing Education shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

Termination of Services by You. If you wish to terminate the Platform & Services provided by Swing Education, you must provide notice to Swing Education. Your notice must be sent by contacting us at www.swingeducation.com/support attn: account termination. Swing Education will assume that you wish to have your Website account suspended rather than completely deleted. If you later request that your account be unsuspended, then the terms of this Agreement will again apply. If instead, you wish to have your Website account deleted, so that your account information is deleted (to the degree that is reasonably practical), you should explicitly request account deletion via www.swingeducation.com/support. If you then wish to create a new account, you will need to provide all required information again, and the terms of this Agreement will again apply.

Effect of Termination. Termination includes removal of access to the underlying Website, Platform & Services, and barring of further use of such. Termination of all such access also includes lack of access or deletion of your password and all related information, files and content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof). Upon termination of any service, your right to have any of the Platform & Services will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of services may involve permanent lack of access to your Content associated therewith from our databases. Swing Education will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including lack of such access or deletion of your Content. All provisions of the Website Terms that by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

Your Data and Privacy Laws: We Do Not Sell or Share Your Information

Swing Education is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this privacy section to describe to you our practices regarding the data we collect from users. 

Note that Swing Education does not sell your data, is not in the business of collecting data, and does not share your data with any third party except as necessary to facilitate our core business transactions servicing Schools and SwingSub teaching professionals. The Platform & Services, including some of our third-party providers, store Cookies on your computer browser in order to facilitate our services to you. You may request access to, or deletion of, your data by making a request in writing, to the email address: www.swingeducation.com/support. Swing Education will then comply with your request, to the degree reasonably practical, within 30 days. See also Term & Termination above, which also provides a means for you to suspend your account, as opposed to deleting your account and all its associated data. 

Swing Education uses cookies on this website to collect information, but only uses this information for internal purposes– we do not share or sell this information. Once you sign up for account as a (prospective) SwingSub substitute teacher, we do explicitly ask for personal information necessary for your teaching engagements (such as name and address) and share such information with third parties (such as schools) only as necessary for you to carry out teaching engagements. During such process we will provide channels on how to correct or delete such information as requested and appropriate.

Swing Education makes every effort to comply with various laws concerning data privacy, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), sometimes even when not actually required.

Types of Data We Collect. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data as described.

Note about Children. We explicitly forbid accounts for anyone under 18 and do not intentionally gather Personal Data from visitors who are under the age of 18. If a child under 18 submits Personal Data we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Data from a child under 13, please contact us.

A Note to Users Outside of the United States. If you are a non-U.S. user of the Site, by visiting the Site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Data may be processed for the purposes identified in the Privacy Policy. In addition, your Personal Data may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By providing your data, you consent to such transfer to the extent allowable by law. We do not anticipate working with any entities or individuals residing in the European Union, but if you are such an entity or individual, please contact us so that we may make sure your information is treated in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, although we have no reason to believe that your data is not treated in compliance with this regulation.

Information You Deliberately Provide To Us. We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail and mailing addresses, professional title, and company name when you create an account to log in. If you use our Platform & Services on your mobile device, we may collect your phone number and the unique device id number. Certain services may require our collection of your phone number. We may associate that phone number to your mobile device identification information. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply. When you post content (text, images, photographs, messages, comments or any other kind of content that is not your e-mail address), the information contained in your posting will be stored in our servers and other users will be able to see it, along with your profile photo and any other information that you choose to make public on your public profile page (“Profile”). The information that you provide in your Profile will be visible to others.

Certain portions of the information you provide to us may also be displayed in your Profile. Some of the Personal Data you explicitly provide to us when you register or update your Profile is displayed on your Profile. By default, your Profile is public to other users of the Platform & Services. Content you post is also meant for public consumption with respect to other users.

For SwingSubs, we may display some of your Profile content and further distribute it to a wider audience through third-party sites and services in order to increase your opportunities. We will explicitly ask for your permission to do this before doing so. We will make reasonable efforts to have your data treated in a similar manner to how Swing Education treats it in terms of security privacy, but cannot explicitly control the policies or actions of such third parties or directly change or delete such information.

General Use of Personal Data. In general, Personal Data you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid us in serving you better. We use your Personal Data in the following ways:

  • facilitate the creation of and secure your Account on our network;
  • identify you as a user in our system;
  • provide improved administration of our Site and Services;
  • provide the Services you request;
  • improve the quality of experience when you interact with our Site and Services;
  • send you a welcome e-mail or text to verify ownership of the e-mail address or phone number provided when your Account was created;
  • send you notifications via e-mail or text about request details and new requests from Schools;
  • send you administrative e-mail notifications, such as security, or support and maintenance advisories;
  • respond to your inquiries related to employment opportunities or other requests;
  • make telephone calls to you, from time to time to solicit your feedback; and
  • send newsletters, surveys, offers, and other promotional materials related to our Services and your work with the Company.

Creation of Anonymous Data. We may create Anonymous Data records from Personal Data by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this Anonymous Data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance our content and improve website navigation. We reserve the right to use Anonymous Data for any purpose and disclose Anonymous Data to third parties in our sole discretion.

Information Collected via our technology.
Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.

Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Section, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Data.

Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. This type of information is collected to make the Site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.

Managing Cookies. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept Cookies from our Services for any of the purposes described above, then you can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting a Cookie from the websites you visit. Consult your browser’s technical information. If you do not accept Cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Platform & Services or all functionality.

Google Analytics.

We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

Information Collected from You About Others. If you decide to invite a third party to create an Account, we will collect your and the third-party’s names and e-mail addresses in order to send an e-mail and follow up with the third party. We rely upon you to obtain whatever consents from the third party that may be required by law to allow us to access and upload the third-party’s names and e-mail addresses as required above. You or the third party may contact us at contact@swingeducation.com to request the removal of this information from our database.

Information Collected from Third-Party Companies. We may receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from other sources, such as verification information and results from background checks from LiveScan or other third parties. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Site in order to improve the Services we provide.

Information That We Do Share. We may disclose aggregated information about our users and information that does not identify any individual without restriction. In addition, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

  • to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it, for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information, or with your consent;
  • to other users of the Site for the purposes of displaying information in your Profile and your feedback regarding Schools and Subs;
  • to third parties designated by you;
  • with our subsidiaries and affiliates;
  • with contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business;
  • with respect to Subs’ applications and the results of Subs’ background checks, to the School(s) for which such application or background check was requested;
  • to a buyer or other successor of Swing Education in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about users is among the assets transferred; and
  • to comply with any court order, law or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request; to enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us; and/or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Swing Education, our customers or others.

Third-Party Websites. We may link to third-party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our website and go to another website, and another entity may collect Personal Data or Anonymous Data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of your Personal Data after you click on links to such outside websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every website you visit. The links to third-party websites or locations are for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of such third parties or their products, content or websites.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable consumers to opt out of tracking on our Site.
