What Happens When I Sign In With Google, Clever, or Another Authentication Service?
If you choose to sign in using a supported authentication service:
We may receive certain information from that service to verify your identity and provide access to your account.
The information we receive is limited by the privacy settings and permissions you have established with that authentication service.
We use this information only to support authentication, account access, and related educational services.
What Is Not Changing?
Using Google, Clever, or another authentication service is optional when alternative sign-in methods are available.
Your privacy settings with the authentication provider continue to apply.
We do not use information obtained through these services for purposes unrelated to providing and supporting our educational products and services.
How We Protect Your Information
