This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?

When ordering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address or other details to help you with your experience.

When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you book a course, subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form, open a support ticket or enter information on our site. We log system information, like your IP address, as part of routine operation of the system.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you make a purchase, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

How do we protect your information?

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all information you supply is transmitted to us by encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We do our best to keep your data secure, however the system is not intended for storing and transmitting highly sensitive information. If you need a secure channel to the New York Times, this is not a suitable system for that purpose.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

All payments are processed through a gateway provider; credit card numbers and the corresponding security codes are not stored or processed on our servers.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember who you logged in as. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with service.

We use cookies to:

  • Operate the system. Our system is based on WordPress, and WordPress requires cookies to provide user specific information.
  • Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, you can choose to turn off all cookies, or you can delete cookies when you exit your browser. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different and browsers may offer different functionality, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third-party links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

Third-Party Services

We use third party services to provide essential functions on the site. These include social media sharing, captcha’s, analytics, accounting, streaming, user mailings, and backup. For example, we use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to evaluate system usage and performance.
