Privacy Policy

Last updated: 05/09/2018

Hello and thank you for visiting the Privacy Policy page, were we explain how we handle the information you provide to us, what information we collect ourselves, why we do it and who else we trust with it. It also tells you how you can exercise your rights regarding your own data.

When you use our products and services, by browsing the site, registering to have an account, logging in, using the courses and such you do so under the policies we outline on this page.

1. What personal information do we collect and why do we collect it?

1.1. Information you provide to us:

When you register for an account on our site, we ask for your email address so we can check whether you already have an account, if you don’t, we ask you to provide:

  • Email address, so we can let you know about your account status and activity on the page, and as your primary log in name;
  • Password – oh, don’t worry, we don’t see it, so feel free to use the name of your crush (as long as it’s at least 8 symbols and has a number in it:) ). You can always reset it too, in case it doesn’t work out.
  • First name – you can lie here, nobody will know. We use this to personalise our salutations to you when you use the course and when we inform you about problems, changes or updates.

On that note, we will also ask you if you would like to receive our awesome newsletter, no pressure, and then we will send you an activation email – just to make sure you’re a real person or at least a very clever bot.

1.2. Information we get from your device:

We store your data for no longer than necessary in relation to the purpose under which such data was collected. This is determined on a case by case basis and depends on things such as the nature of the data provided, why it was collected, the legal basis we rely upon to process the data, and our relevant legal or operation retention requirements.
