Welcome to the Prime-Glowmark Data Usage Policy. Your trust is important to us, and we want to ensure you understand how and why we collect information when you use our online education platform. This policy explains our use of tracking technologies, how you can manage your preferences, and the safeguards we employ to protect your data. By using our platform, you agree to the practices outlined here, so please take the time to read this policy carefully.
Tracking technologies are tools that help us understand how you interact with our platform, allowing us to improve functionality, enhance your experience, and provide valuable educational resources. These technologies include cookies, web beacons, and similar tools that operate in the background while you access our services.
Some tracking technologies are essential for the platform to function properly. For instance, we use session cookies to maintain your login status as you navigate various course modules. Without these, you’d be required to log in repeatedly on every page. Additionally, these trackers ensure that the platform remembers your selected language or preferred accessibility settings, such as text size adjustments.
Functional trackers allow us to tailor the platform to your needs. For example, if you frequently access science tutorials, our system may suggest related courses or resources the next time you log in. This personalization helps streamline your learning experience, saving you time and providing relevant content.
We use analytical tools to understand how students and educators interact with the platform. For instance, we might analyze which course sections are most frequently accessed or where users tend to drop off during a lesson. These insights help us refine content and improve navigation to make learning smoother and more engaging.
In some cases, we may use tracking technologies to deliver personalized educational content or recommendations. For example, if you’ve shown interest in advanced mathematics, we might highlight upcoming webinars or new course launches in that subject area. These tools ensure that your experience remains relevant and engaging.
By collecting and analyzing data, we can create a better platform for everyone. For instance, identifying common technical issues helps us address them quickly, ensuring uninterrupted access to courses. Similarly, understanding user preferences allows us to develop features that cater to diverse learning styles, enhancing the overall educational experience.
We believe in empowering our users with the ability to manage their data preferences. Below, we outline how you can control the tracking technologies used on our platform.
As a user, you have the right to decide how your data is collected and used. Many countries have established frameworks, such as GDPR or CCPA, that give individuals control over their personal information. We strive to align with these standards by offering transparent settings and clear explanations.
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies and other tracking tools. For example:
Each browser provides detailed guidance, enabling you to strike a balance between privacy and functionality.
Prime-Glowmark includes an intuitive consent mechanism. Upon your first visit, you’ll see a banner prompting you to accept or customize tracking preferences. You can revisit these settings at any time by clicking the "Privacy Preferences" link in the footer of our website. From there, you can enable or disable specific categories of trackers.
Disabling certain trackers may affect your experience. For instance, if you turn off functional cookies, the platform might not remember your preferred video playback speed or course progress. Similarly, opting out of analytics could limit our ability to resolve usability issues, potentially impacting future enhancements.
There are several privacy tools available to help you control online tracking. Extensions like uBlock Origin or Ghostery allow you to block trackers across websites. However, keep in mind that these tools may interfere with some educational features, such as interactive simulations or collaborative tools.
We recommend finding a middle ground that protects your privacy while preserving the platform’s functionality. For example, you might allow essential and functional trackers while disabling targeting features. This way, you’ll still benefit from a seamless educational experience without unnecessary data collection.
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services. For instance, course progress data is stored until you complete a course or delete your account. In most cases, session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, while persistent cookies may last up to a year, unless you clear them manually.
We employ robust security measures to protect your information. This includes encryption protocols for data transfer and periodic audits to identify vulnerabilities. For example, all login credentials are encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.
We collect only the information necessary for our services. For example, we request your name and email to create an account but do not require unnecessary personal details, such as your address or phone number.
Prime-Glowmark complies with applicable laws, such as GDPR for European users and CCPA for California residents. These regulations ensure that we process your data transparently and with your consent.
In some cases, automated systems may make decisions based on your data—for example, recommending a study plan based on your completed courses. You have the right to opt out of such processes by contacting us with a request.
Prime-Glowmark partners with external service providers to enhance our platform. Here’s how they contribute:
We enforce strict agreements with these providers to ensure your data is protected and used only for intended purposes.
These tools monitor how emails or pages are interacted with. For example, tracking pixels in course-related emails help us see if students open notifications about assignment deadlines.
If enabled, device recognition verifies that the same user is accessing the platform across different devices, ensuring consistency in course progress.
We use local storage to save temporary preferences like quiz answers during a session. This ensures you don’t lose progress if your connection is interrupted.
We regularly review and update this policy to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our services. Updates are typically made annually, but urgent changes may occur if required. Users will be notified via email or a banner on our platform before significant updates take effect.
