Data Processing
In accordance with Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis for doing so. Depending on the specific context in which we collect your data, this may include:
- Your consent, such as when you subscribe to our newsletter or agree to receive marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
- The performance of a contract, for example when you purchase a course or register for access to our learning platform. We need to process your data to provide the services you have requested.
- Compliance with legal obligations, including accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements to which we are subject.
- Our legitimate interests, which include the operation, security, improvement, and promotion of our services. When we rely on legitimate interests, we carefully assess and balance your rights and interests to ensure they are not overridden.
We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently. If you have questions about the specific legal basis for any processing activity, or if you wish to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, you may contact us at any time.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Email Communication and Tracking
If you sign up for our courses or contact us via the website, we may send you transactional or informational emails (e.g., order confirmations, login credentials, updates about your course access).
These emails may include open and click tracking, which helps us understand if our messages are being read and which links are clicked. This tracking is used to improve our communication and user experience.
You can opt out of non-essential email communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
