Our service providers that process payment data, maintain the applicable Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance levels.
If you have any questions about the security of your Personal Information, you may contact us at [email protected]
8. International Transfers
We collect information globally and may transfer, process and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services. This may involve countries where the data protection, privacy rights and other laws may not be as comprehensive as in your country. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps, including preventive measures, designed to protect your Personal Information.
For all international transfers, both within the LearnUp Group or to our sub-processors, we ensure that the recipient of your Personal Information offers an adequate level of protection by entering into appropriate agreements. All international transfers are made on the basis of the EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”).
LearnUp maintains strict organizational and technical measures to protect Personal Information stored on our, and our trusted third parties’, serves. Access to any Personal Information we process in order to provision the Services is limited through login credentials, multi-factor authentication, access on a need-to-know basis and restricted access to administrative accounts for the employees who require access in order to perform their duties towards you, such as providing support services.
If you want to know more about LearnUp´s international transfers and the measures we take to keep your Personal Information safe, please reach out to us on [email protected]
9. Retention of Personal Information
We do not retain Personal Information longer than necessary for the purposes for which Personal Information was collected. We retain Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal obligation to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:
- Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;
- Whether the data is necessary to provide our Service;
- Whether our Users have the ability to access and delete the data within their LearnUp accounts; and
- Whether our Users would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their LearnUp accounts are closed or terminated.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, it will be deleted or anonymized as soon as possible and in accordance with applicable law.
10. California Consumers
We do not sell Personal Information.
The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. You have the right to request that businesses subject to the CCPA (which may include our Users with whom you have a relationship) disclose certain information to you about their collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. In addition, you have the right to ask such businesses to delete Personal Information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. If the business sells Personal Information, you have a right to opt-out of that sale. Finally, a business cannot discriminate against you for exercising a CCPA right. Please see the information collection, use, disclosure, and individual rights sections above to learn about LearnUp’s practices when LearnUp acts as a “business” subject to the CCPA.
When offering services to its Users, LearnUp acts as a “service provider” under the CCPA and our receipt and collection of any consumer Personal Information is completed on behalf of our Users in order for us to provide the Service. Please direct any requests for access or deletion of your Personal Information under the CCPA to the User with whom you have a direct relationship.
11. Cookies
When you enter the Website, we collect your browser type and your IP address (a unique address that identifies your computer on the Internet). When you use our mobile Application, we collect your device type, your device ID, and your IP address.
In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features available on the Website (e.g., customized delivery of information).
You can find more information about cookies and how to manage them at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
12. Do not Track
The Service is not designed to respond to “do not track” signals sent by some browsers.
13. TrueDepth API
Our apps use automatically collected information via the device’s camera and the TrueDepth API provided by Apple. The only use of this information is to track the user’s eye movement and pupils, so we can analyze the correlation between fatigue levels, ambient natural light saturation and interaction with the app interface and the user’s learning performance. The data collected by TrueDepth API comes to us in the form of processed eyesight focus points, which do not contain the information directly collected by True Depth. Analysis of the user’s physical fatigue allows us to study the correlation between learning performance and fatigue so that individually for each user we will be able to more optimally plan the learning session taking depending on the user’s fatigue level.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time. If we make material changes in the Privacy Policy, for example if we seek to use Personal Information in a materially different way than we had previously, we will provide prior notice to you for example by email or a pop-up. You can always delete your account and stop using our Services if you do not accept the change.
15. Our collection of Personal Information from Children
Collecting personal data within the Services are addressed to users over the age of 16. Therefore, LearnUp does not knowingly process personal data of persons under 16 years of age. Consents given by individuals are valid for persons over 16 years of age. If users of Services are under 16 years of age, they should not provide any information. If we become aware that a person under the age of 16 has provided us with personal data without verifiable parental consent, we will not process such data.
16. Questions & Concerns
If you have any questions or comments, or if you have a concern about the way in which we have handled any privacy matter, you may contact us on [email protected]
