The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which provides California Consumers certain rights regarding their Personal Information (“PI”) as those terms are defined in the CCPA, became effective on January 1, 2020.
We are providing you with notice of the PI we collect and our purposes for that collection for data that may be subject to the CCPA (“CCPA Notice”). This CCPA Notice does not cover information that is outside of the scope of the CCPA. This notice also does not apply to data collected from employees, applicants or contractors or to data collected from individuals acting as representatives of another business in connection with business communications or transactions.
We collect PI directly from you, your device or browser, your education institution, our service providers and suppliers, and our corporate affiliates. We use and share PI for the following business purposes:
We may also collect, use and share PI for our operational purposes as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We collect the following categories of PI from Consumers which we share with our service providers, agents and licensees who perform services on our behalf, with our affiliates, and with your education institution:
If you are a California Consumer and would like to register a request under your “right to know about personal information collected, disclosed or sold” (including right to obtain copies of specific pieces and/or information about categories of PI practices), “right to request deletion of personal information,” or “right to opt-out of the sale of personal information,” you can contact us at privacy@learneo.com or toll-free at 866-634-9397. THIS TOLL-FREE NUMBER IS ONLY MONITORED FOR PRIVACY REQUESTS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. You may opt out of cookies and other tracking technologies by clicking on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link at the bottom of this website. You have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment in a manner prohibited by the CCPA as a result of your exercising your rights under the CCPA.
To fulfill your CCPA request, we may require you to provide sufficient information to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected PI. This verification process includes providing us at least two (2) unique data points, depending on the type of request.
Consumers have the right to exercise CCPA privacy rights via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA. Authorized agent requests must include a copy of the agency agreement between the authorized agent and the consumer. We will ask the consumer to independently confirm the agency relationship.
Categories. You have the right, subject to statutory exceptions, to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:
Specific Pieces. You have the right, subject to statutory exceptions, to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.
You have the right, subject to statutory exceptions, to request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.
You may alternatively exercise more limited control of your PI by instead by canceling or modifying our email marketing communications you receive from us. You can do so by following the instructions contained within our promotional emails.
We do not “sell” PI that we collect from you, including PI of minors under the age of 16, in accordance with the definition of “sell” in the CCPA. We treat all PI that we collect from you as subject to a “do not sell” request.
We work with service providers and partner with advertising companies that use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to our website and third-party sites, and then use that information to deliver advertisements relevant to your interests. There is not yet a consensus as to whether third party cookies and tracking technologies associated with our websites and mobile apps constitute a “sale” of your PI as defined by the CCPA. You may opt out of interest-based advertising using ad industry opt out tools by visiting youradchoices.com/control or optout.networkadvertising.org. To effectively manage cookies via this cookie settings tool, you must set cookie preferences on all browsers and all devices that you use. If you clear the cookies on your device, you may need to set your cookie preferences again. We are not responsible for the completeness, accuracy or effectiveness of any third-party programs, tools or frameworks, or the information they provide.
Your Nevada Privacy Rights. Under Nevada law, Nevada residents may opt out of the sale of certain “covered information” collected by operators of websites or online services. We currently do not sell covered information, as “sale” is defined by such law, and we don't have plans to sell this information. However, if you would like to be notified if we decide in the future to sell Personal Information covered by this Nevada law, please email your name and email address to privacy@learneo.com to provide your name and email address. You are responsible for updating any change in your email address by the same method and we are not obligated to cross-reference other emails you may have otherwise provided us for other purposes. We will maintain this information and contact you if our plans change. At that time, we will create a process for verifying your identity and providing an opportunity to verified consumers to complete their opt-out. Please become familiar with our data practices as set forth in this privacy policy. We may share your data as explained in this privacy policy, such as to enhance your experiences and our services, and those activities will be unaffected by a Nevada do not sell request. You may also have other choices regarding our data practices as set forth elsewhere in this privacy policy.
